"The Little Choices That Change Everything": A Conversation with grammy award winner Abigail Barlow

In this electric, heart-opening episode, Katie sits down with Abigail Barlow, pop princess, Grammy Award–winning songwriter of The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and one half of the youngest (and only female) composers to ever create music for a Disney animated film (Moana 2) alongside Emily Bear.

Abigail opens up about the journey behind the virality — from the heartbreak that shaped Heartbreak Cartel, to the explosive rise of the Bridgerton musical, to navigating pressure, creativity, and online scrutiny at a young age. She shares how intuition, collaboration, and vulnerability have guided her career from Alabama to TikTok fame to Disney studios.

We dive into her upcoming EP BICON, writing love songs for both men and women, discovering her own identity, and the bravery it takes to live in your truth — even when millions are watching. Abigail's candor about confidence, comparison, boundaries, and the "little choices that change your life forever" makes this an inspiring, refreshing conversation for anyone chasing a dream.
