Alanis Morissette: Anger, Attachment, & Postpartum

B2Upper-intermediateSeptember 9, 20261 hr 5 min

Join Alex in the studio for an interview with Alanis Morissette. Alanis reflects on starting her career at a young age and finding her voice in a male-dominated music industry. She opens up about pushing against the expectations placed on women, being labeled “too much,” and how the anger and honesty of her music made her a defining voice of the ’90s. Alanis also discusses navigating love and breaking patterns of codependency, her experience with postpartum depression, and the freedom and complete metamorphosis that comes with getting older. Enjoy! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.ad...
