    Finding Your True Voice with "The Voice" Contestant Grace Miller Moody

    Grace-Miller Moody was 21 years old, standing in front of four turned chairs on The Voice, singing a song she didn't choose to sing there by accident. Her dad sent the tape in. All four coaches turned around, which almost never happens, and she picked Adam Levine because of a Maroon 5 concert her family went to after her brother came out of remission. She won her Battle. She got cut at the Knockouts. And then the cameras packed up and went home, which is the part of the story nobody puts in the highlight reel. This is a conversation about what happens after the dream does what dreams do, which is arrive, and then end, and leave you holding a Tuesday. Grace-Miller is at the very beginning of a road most of the women listening to this are twenty-five years down. She hasn't traded anything away yet. I wanted to know what she can already feel getting ready to go, and whether she can see it coming. About Grace-Miller Grace-Miller Moody is a singer and songwriter from Florence, South Carolina, and a psychology major at the College of Charleston. She competed on Season 27 of NBC's The Voice, earning a four-chair turn in her blind audition and choosing Adam Levine as her coach. She won her Battle round and was eliminated at the Knockouts. She's now writing and releasing her own music.  Website: https://www.gracemillermoodymusic.info/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/gracemillermoody.music/?hl=en Upcoming Performances: https://www.gracemillermoodymusic.info/scheduling Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4fGWdQQMwMIxHhtsxw6zci?si=H90Qn78cQX-DN22KqOClHg

    Who's Watching Your Kids: Questions For A Working Mom

    This episode is the four words I've been fumbling for a decade-what do you do-and what happens when the thing you built doesn't fit a box anybody recognises on contact. If you've ever watched somebody's eyes glaze while you explained your own company to them, you already know the tax I'm talking about. In this episode: Why nobody has ever asked my husband who's watching our kids What changed when "teacher" became "somatic coach" and the conversation started stopping dead The three extra sentences you pay every time you walk into a room Why the decisions that make you good at this are the ones nobody is there to witness What I stopped waiting for, and what I started calling it instead Timestamps 00:00 The question 00:20 The holiday party 07:00 Four words 13:30 The map is old 20:00 The doctorate nobody hands out 28:00 The decisions nobody sees 34:00 The recognition wasn't coming 38:30 It's not just me 40:30 Say it anyway

    Color After The Storm: Katie Southworth On Becoming A Buffalo

    Katie Southworth paints for a living, but that's not why she's in this chair. Eleven years ago she survived the suicide loss of someone she loved, and instead of going quiet, she picked up a paintbrush. This conversation is about what she built after the worst thing happened to her, and why she built it in color. She describes her work as learning to "reclaim your rainbow after rain." She creates original art and speaks openly about using color as part of staying in her own life.  Katie lives by one rule: be a buffalo. Buffalo run toward a storm because it gets them through it faster, instead of running from it and staying in it longer. This conversation is about what she built after the worst thing happened to her, and why she built it in color.

    Clancy Trial: Why Is This Still Happening in America in 2026

    Why Is This Still Happening in America in 2026 On September 4th, a Massachusetts jury spent seven days on the Lindsay Clancy case and couldn't reach a verdict. This episode is not about that trial. It's about the question underneath it: why a country with the most expensive healthcare on earth still can't recognize, name, or treat the most dangerous illness a new mother can have. In this episode: Postpartum psychosis is more common than SIDS, treatable in 98 percent of cases, and still not a diagnosis in the DSM. Nobody in America counts the mothers this happens to. The one study that tried found a coin flip between hospital and prison for the same illness. More than a dozen countries decided almost a century ago that a mother in the first year is a patient before she's a defendant. Mental health is now the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the US, and more than 80 percent of those deaths are preventable. And why, in 2026, the bar for a man's chest pain is a workup and the bar for a woman's mind is patience. The case is the occasion. The system is the subject. Sources Mistrial and jury: NPR, WBUR, GBH, closing arguments Postpartum psychosis prevalence, treatment and the DSM gap: NPR, WBUR, 2025 expert consensus statement, Biological Psychiatry, via King's College London Infanticide case outcomes, 34 US cases 1969 to 2010: Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Infanticide and suicide risk in postpartum psychosis: American Journal of Psychiatry International infanticide laws, California data, Illinois 2018 statute: KQED Pregnancy-related deaths, 80 percent preventable, mental health leading cause: CDC, Maternal Mortality Review Committees, 36 states, 2017 to 2019
