From Jar of Hearts to A Thousand Years to Only Human, Christina Perri continues to be an iconic household name. In this intimate one-on-one conversation with Lucie, Christina shares the real story behind her meteoric rise to fame, the heartbreak and healing that followed, and the profound transformation she’s experienced as an artist and a mother. From her early days in LA to the moment “Jar of Hearts” aired on So You Think You Can Dance, Christina opens up about the whirlwind of overnight success, the toll it took on her mental health, the exact amount of money she made, and how she ultimately found clarity through sobriety. She reflects on the spiritual journey following the devastating loss of her daughtter, Rosie, and how motherhood reshaped her identity and career—including her new life as a children’s book author. It's an emotional, honest, and beautifully human conversation about love, grief, purpose, and creating new dreams.
This episode contains references to pregnancy loss that some listeners may find upsetting.
