Rodney Atkins is the kind of country artist who proves the best songs usually come from the life you actually live. After a seven-year break from releasing a full studio album, Rodney returns with True South, not because he stepped away from music, but because life got bigger. Marriage, fatherhood, raising three sons with his wife Rose Falcon, and building a family became the story he wanted to tell. The man behind anthems like “If You’re Going Through Hell,” “It’s America,” and “Take a Back Road” helped define 2000s country radio with six No. 1 hits, but these days, his biggest role is being a dad. His song “Watching You” wasn’t just a hit… it was a real-life snapshot of parenting and the little moments that become everything. Now, with True South, Rodney Atkins raises a longneck to the things that matter most: love, family, memories, and the life he’s built.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

O-Town’s Ashley Parker Angel went from being the breakout heartthrob of Making the Band to living a life that’s truly all in. As part of O-Town, he helped create some of the biggest pop moments of the early 2000s with hits like “All or Nothing” and “Liquid Dreams,” selling over 10 million albums worldwide. But Ashley’s story is about so much more than fame. After years of performing, Broadway, and chasing his dreams, he hit a point of burnout and exhaustion that led to a major health wake-up call. That journey inspired his new passion: helping others feel their best through his science-backed wellness brand High Level Science, now in 700 GNC locations, and his Making the Brand Tour. From boy band dreams to building a whole new chapter, Ashley is proof that you can keep evolving, keep dreaming, and keep going all in on the life you want.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kassi Ashton is the kind of artist who lights Up Every Room Like It’s Soaked in Kerosene Before most people knew her name, Kassi was offered 11 record deals, proof of the undeniable talent and star power she’s always had. In this episode, she shares how the music industry has both broken her heart and blessed her with a beautiful life and career. We talk about her love of fashion and how every look is part of her storytelling. For Kassi, style is not separate from the music. It is an extension of who she is. She also opens up about meeting her husband, the one person who was able to break through her walls. Their love story feels like pure soulmate material, and in true Kassi fashion, she even made her own wedding dress. We dive into her powerful new song, Bitches, an empowering anthem inspired by the strong women who raised her and a reminder not to take any nonsense from anybody.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RaeLynn is back in the studio and this conversation is SO good ✨ We talk about the evolution of her music career, how embracing her style helped her fully step into herself, balancing motherhood with music, and the wild full-circle Jonas Brothers moment that honestly feels straight out of a movie. So much honesty, laughter, growth, and perspective in this one 🤍 I’ve known RaeLynn for over a decade, and getting to watch her story unfold, from the early days to the woman, artist, and mama she is now, has been such a cool thing to witness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julia Cole is a Texas-born, Nashville-based artist who’s built her career independently, turning heartbreak, confidence, and real-life stories into what she calls Sisterhood Country, music that empowers, heals, and brings people together. A former elite athlete and volleyball standout, she’s brought that same drive to the stage, growing a loyal fanbase, earning hundreds of millions of streams, making her Grand Ole Opry debut, and becoming one of country music’s most exciting rising voices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some conversations stay with you forever, and this is one of them. Getting to talk with Amy Grant felt surreal. We talked about her powerful new album, The Me That Remains, her first album in 13 years, a project that beautifully weaves together the stories, seasons, and soul of a life fully lived. We went all the way back to the beginning… from being discovered and signed over the phone at just 16 years old, to building a beautiful life and love story with Vince Gill (who, as it turns out, measure their love in dogs ❤️). Amy was the very first artist I ever truly fell in love with. My sister and I absolutely wore out Heart in Motion, singing into our hairbrushes like we were on stage right beside her. To get to talk with someone whose music helped shape your childhood, and hear the stories behind the legend, was something I’ll never forget.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She’s back. Medical intuitive Julie Ryan joins me for a fascinating conversation about how she developed the ability to scan the body like a “human MRI,” intuitively sensing and seeing illness, energy blocks, and connecting with spirit. We also talk about what she says she’s witnessed at the end of life, the beautiful 12 phases of transition, loved ones and angels showing up, and why she believes dying is not something to fear. And now she’s teaching it. Julie’s live online Angelic Attendant Training is back May 16 and 17, where she helps people develop their intuition, connect with spirit, facilitate energetic healing, and learn to trust what they’re receiving.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At 13, Tenille Arts was in her bedroom in small-town Saskatchewan, singing Blue and dreaming of a life in country music. Years later, she stood on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry singing it alongside LeAnn Rimes in a moment that felt almost too full-circle to be real. In this episode, Tenille pulls back the curtain on everything it took to get there, the quiet years, the doubt, building her career from the ground up in Nashville, and the breakthrough that changed everything. She opens up about love, heartbreak, behind the scenes on The Bachelor, and the story behind “Don’t Ruin Flowers,” plus the personal “unbecoming” that brought her back to herself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
