It's Giving: Grace Potter

It's Giving: Grace Potter26 Aug30 min

<p>Today on It’s Giving, Ingela sits down with four time Grammy-nominated artist Grace Potter. From driving cross-country between California and her family farm in Vermont to connect with strangers across political divides, to taking her music into a Rhode Island women&#39;s prison with the Newport Folk Foundation to bear witness to forgotten stories, Grace offers a deeply honest perspective on how to navigate the raw, chaotic state of our world with empathy and self-actualization instead of fear.  </p><p><br></p><p>Grace breaks down the heart behind her nonprofit, the Grand Point Foundation, which she built to uplift rural creatives and give independent artists a real platform. We also dive into the themes of her new album, Trespasser, exploring how stepping past boundary lines - both literally on the open road and creatively through song - allows us to confront life’s messy truths, process trauma, and share our light without fear.  </p><p><br></p><p><strong>“Getting curious starts with not being all-knowing... acknowledging that we don&#39;t have all the answers and that the systems we have held in place for generations are systems that are not working anymore. There is no way out, only through.”  </strong></p><p><br></p><p>If you loved this interview, please leave a rating, drop a review, and subscribe to support the show so I can bring you even more artist interviews!
