Wingspan: The Highs and Lows of Being a Musician

Have you ever had to busk for your next meal? Or do you find yourself awake at night, questioning your life choices?
Have you ever asked yourself... why the fuck am I a musician?
Don’t worry, you’re not alone, and this is the podcast for you.

⚠️ This episode contains discussions of pregnancy loss, postpartum mental health, and rage. Please take care listening.
This week Hana and Mishkin are joined by Georgia Train — singer-songwriter, vocal coach, and one half of Bitter Ruin — for a conversation about what it really costs to be a musician and a mother. Georgia gets into the parts nobody talks about: the hormonal shifts, the identity loss, the rage, and why the industry makes all of it harder than it needs to be.
