Episode notes

Choosing to be with someone because you want them, not because you need them, is more impressive and powerful. There is a difference between needing and wanting someone, and it involves control, manipulation, and personal agency. Expressing that you want someone and choosing them is a beautiful thing, but it may not be enough for some people. Not everyone wants or needs to be loved in that way in a relationship. Dependency, whether it is financial or emotional, detracts from the core of a loving relationship. The focus should be on wanting, not needing, the other person.

In this deeply personal conversation, Kelly Clarkson – beloved artist, truth teller, and goddamn cheetah – joins us to discuss:

How Untamed gave her the clarity and courage to divorce;
Why she stayed for as long as she did;
The lowest point of her life;
What broke her heart the most in her marriage;
How to recover yourself after slowly disappearing in a relationship;
Her incredible new album chemistry;
Embracing singleness; and
Why she’s a stronger parent today.
