As Vic was getting ready for her 6th grade dance, she was listening to today’s guest, chart-topping and multi-platinum recording artist JoJo! For the first time ever, JoJo lets us in on the highs and lows of her career and personal experiences detailed in her new memoir: Over the Influence. Joanna opens up about what it was like entering the music industry at 12, almost signing with Britney Spears and what really happened in the ten-year gap between albums. Joanna bravely and vulnerable talks about growing up in AA rooms, her turbulent family dynamic, and her own journey with addiction. She and Vic also discuss their shared experience with an eating disorder, and the lessons they’ve learned about overcoming the need for validation in favor of self-acceptance. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who screamed the lyrics to Leave (Get Out), or needs encouragement to write a new narrative, choose freedom, and trust your inner voice.
