"I think a big thing was I never liked piano. I was like very impatient and I'm not very good at it," she says. "My mom was kind of like, I've dropped thousands of dollars on this piano lessons." She adds that her interest in music wasn't source of tension between the two of you. 'She felt like it was her duty to kind of protect me from that'

Michelle Zauner on how to begin healing our mother wounds, using her sensitivity to deepen her relationships and be a rockstar, why she’s obsessed with sheetcake and winnebagos, and why she is still “afraid of her mental health.”
