About this episode
In this week’s episode, Tay is back for another girl-talk conversation with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Julia Michaels! Julia opens up about how she met her fiancé and why being with someone outside of the music industry has brought a sense of balance to her life. She gets candid about her experience with anxiety and panic attacks—what they feel like, how they’ve evolved over time, and the tools that have helped her cope, including the support of her fiancé. Julia shares when she first started writing about her mental health in her music, what initially drew her to songwriting, and the moment she realized it could become a career. She reflects on her deep love for writing songs for other artists, why “Issues” became the one she kept for herself, and how the process continues to be therapeutic. Julia also talks about setting boundaries, going independent for her new EP Second Self, and what it means to finally own her music!Be sure to follow Julia on https://instagram.com/juliamichaels/!Listen to Julia’s new EP “Second Self” here: https://stem.ffm.to/secondself?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaeXutMZEoxpgj82Hx-c4NFt6Z3afk-LRQyVojz7h3XnJCd96HIVvhEJnFd_bg_aem_GjgwLm1MbJ2KlrdSUjCJMwTo email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to lautner.thesqueezepodcast@gmail.comBe sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!
