“I was more like a black hole, like a vacuum rather than a sun. I want to be sunlight and sun. And now I feel like I can.”

JB sits down with singer, songwriter, guitarist and radio host Anne McCue. Together they discuss finding joy through teaching others, the rewards of resilience and what it looks like to rebuild your identity from scratch. Anne shares her delightfully unexpected re-emergence into songwriting after a decade-long drought… and why patience might be the most underrated creative tool there is.

Her new album Wholly Rolly Coaster is available everywhere.
The new Girl Monstar release, GRRRR!! The Album, also available everywhere.
