David Archuleta joins me to talk about his new memoir and everything that shaped the person he is today.

We get into what it was like growing up in the LDS church, the pressure he faced from his dad at a young age, and how that carried into his experience on American Idol. David shares how much of his life felt like it was being lived for other people, and what it took to start questioning that.

We also talk about his journey with identity, coming to terms with being queer, and what it looked like to finally choose himself after years of trying to fit into a version of life that never fully felt like his.
