The BEST conversations I have with my guests are those that happen on-the-fly. Unscripted, with little planning, and straight from the heart. Like today's podcast with P!NK! It was so unexpected.
She pulled over, with kids Willow and Jameson in the back seat, to spend a little minute with us. We chatted about her new single - and the fantastic documentary created from filming her 2019 world tour - "All I Know So Far." Turns out she knows quite a lot! Like how to be true to yourself, how to give yourself grace, and how to pour yourself into your passions. You won't want to miss this sweet episode! ~ Delilah

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi there, Welcome back to Love Someone with Delilah. Did
it feel to you like it did to me that
we lived through through parts of almost in black and white?
Life just seemed that way, especially early last year dull
(00:25):
devoid of color pizzazz. Remember how the movie The Wizard
of Oz started out in black and white and then
changed to living technicolor when Dorothy got to Oz. Well, lately,
with June busting out all over, I'm starting to feel
like like color, like vibrant color, like life is returning
(00:49):
to the world, and it is an absolutely glorious sensation.
Have I stepped into the land of Oz? Probably not yet.
Every bloom in my garden seems to be more saturated,
more vibrant, more live, just just more more than it's
(01:11):
ever been before. It feels like we're coming out of
the gray and into the light of life. And I
am simply tickled pink about that. You know what else,
I'm tickled over Today's guest on Love Someone. Since her
debut in two thousand, she's released eight studio albums, She's
(01:31):
had fifteen singles in the top ten of the Billboard
Hot one, and she has sold out arenas all over
the world. She got three Grammy Awards on a bookshelf
setting at Home, along with a Daytime Emmy, seven MTV
Video Music Awards, and was named Billboards Woman of the Year.
(01:51):
In most recently, she received a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame as well as the Brits Outstanding Contribution
to Music Award, the first international artists to receive this honor.
She is talented, She is gorgeous, She is bold, She
is unapologetic and a hot, hot, hot ticket these days,
(02:15):
and we are lucky enough to get to share a
little bit of time with her. We will be right
back with pink ladies and gentlemen after I give a
minute of time to one of my fabulous podcast sponsors,
without whom we wouldn't even get to have these incredible
conversations with one another. You've heard me say that it's
(02:35):
when the sky is nightest that the stars are brightest,
But for many people around the world, it can be
hard to see the light amidst the darkness. Mercy Ships
is an organization that gives people renewed hope. Mercy Ships
turnships into floating hospitals and then sends them to the
poorest countries in the world. To provide free surgeries that
(02:58):
save lives and change the times. They are transforming communities
by training local doctors who continue the good work long
after these ships leave board. This hope goes beyond patients
and their families. It also inspires surgeons, nurses, the entire
team involved. It's all sustained by the generosity of volunteers
(03:21):
and donors. And what's most amazing is that anyone can
get involved. I encourage you to visit Mercy Ships dot
org slash love to learn how you can be a
part of this great work. Hi Pink, Welcome to the
Delilah Show. Hey there, Delilah. How many times is someone
saying that at you? You know, for years it was
(03:43):
why why why Delilah? And and then thank God the
flame white tease fix that. So now at least I
get something a little, you know, less murderous than than
Tom Jones. Welcome aboard. You've got so many prod checks
in the work, so many things that I want to
talk about, your your songs that we're playing, and the movie.
(04:06):
But first I want to hear about your kids, your
mom's heart. I want to hear about your farm, your land.
I want to hear about about those things before we
delve into the you know, the radio stuff. Well, my
kids are good. They're sitting in the backseat as we speak.
(04:26):
Willow and Jamison. How old are they now? Willow likes
to say that even though she's nine weeks three weeks.
Come on, mom, don't rush, sweetheart, don't rush growing up
of the trap. So yeah, and Jamison four, congratulations. I
know that everything I've read, everything I've seen, everything I've
(04:49):
heard you talking about. Um, I saw you what on
a morning show the other day. I saw you and
Ellen and everything just rings so loud, lee was so
much love from your mama's heart. And and that's that's
where I live full time. And I know you lived
there too, So that's it right there, that's the thing
(05:12):
that matters. Um. So yeah, I mean I I do
feel like my life is just full of love right now.
Would you have thought paying ten, fifteen years ago, twenty
years ago, where you were at in life, that having kids,
being a mama bear would change you in the miraculous,
beautiful ways that it has. No, I you can't know, right.
(05:35):
I mean, I have a lot of friends that have
decided not to have children, and I think that's, you know,
a brave choice in a different way. But you can't
know the feeling until it happens, and you can't know
how you're going to feel about it either, you know.
So I feel like I hit the lottery with these kids.
I feel like it's just this. It's changed the way
(05:59):
I look at the world, like I get to just
play all the time and be silly and love so deeply.
I'm share all the stuff, you know. I remember when
I gave birth to my firstborn, who's who's close and
age to you now. I remember holding him and looking
at him and going I didn't know how much I
(06:24):
was loved until I had him and went, WHOA if God,
if the universe believes that I am capable of raising
the most perfect child I'd ever not in my life.
And I knew that in the instant he was born.
I knew that our our souls were meant to be together.
(06:45):
I was like, oh my gosh, everything just changed, Everything
changed forever. You sound like a really really soulful mama
like you, I am a really, really really blessed mama,
and I right now at my house upstairs, I came
I have a studio in my house, I came downstairs.
(07:06):
I have three of my grandkids and four of my
my kid kids who are still young, still at home,
all playing in a teeny tiny, little plastic kiddie pool
in the backyard, and you're well, I I was up
(07:27):
there for over an hour, and I was so excited
to come to talk to you and meet you and
just tell you that you have inspired pink so many people,
but especially young women, with your tenacity and your forcefulness
and your unapologetic strength. I actually really apologize a lot,
(07:54):
believer in the power of apology, only why it's warranted. No,
I'm but I'm saying back the past. Back in the day,
women who were strong, emotionally strong, physically strong, determined were
called the beach word, and and it felt like they
we we because I started this journey in in the
(08:15):
early seventies, we had to navigate waters where we constantly
were apologizing for simply having a dream. And when you
burst on the scene, it was like, You're like magic.
You're like Peter Pan and a beautiful strong women's body.
You know, like you're magical. Well, I mean I know
(08:38):
that to be true. I mean my both of my mom's,
my mom and my stepmom were both nurses, and um,
I I have asked them many times, was this your dream?
And they said, well it was. There weren't a lot
of choices for women. Um but they both are nurses
at heart. But it's interesting. It's like, yeah, I came out,
(09:01):
I came out with sharp, sharp clause and ideas, and UM,
I've just I've just was born that way and I
was raised by a really strong dad who believed in
change and that change was possible. And I don't know,
I couldn't be any other way. I love seeing people
(09:24):
just live truly who they are, live their truth. And
that's your new project, your new songs, and and the lyrics,
that's the core. If you were to put it in
a pot and boil it down to the essence of
the truth, that's what you just said. To live your truth,
to live your life authentically is what your music is about.
(09:46):
It's what your movie is about, it's what your life
is about. And I appreciate the fact that you don't
just live that way. You encourage so many other people
Pink to live that way. I do. I mean, I
know how, I know the price that it comes. If
it's really scary and and it's vulnerable, and and you know,
not everybody has supportive parents or a life that's sort
(10:12):
of painted in that way where they can just live
their truth. Right. It's not as easy as it's downs,
but but my god, is it worth it. It's so
worth it. Don't tell lies because then you have to
remember them. And I have a serious memory. Yeah, I
I learned that the hard way. I used to, you know,
(10:32):
would spin a tale to make an excuse for something
I had done. And then you know, two minutes later,
you forget the tail you just wove. And it's like, dang, dang,
this is what they meant when they said, just be honest.
It's easier to remember you you always remember the truth.
My favorite T shirt is it says I'm sorry I
was late. I didn't want to come. I should get
(10:55):
that one from my daughter Seila. I just got her
one that says under estimate me. That'll be fun. And
she's like, Mom, I'm not in your face like you are.
I can't wear this in So what's the what's your
favorite thing about living on acreage? How how spread out
are you nature? I love nature. I've always always loved
(11:19):
nature and animals and we have chickens and horses and
a dog and a lizard and lots of lots of
baby birds being born. Soon have you? Have you gotten
addicted to the bird app that identifies all the birds
that you can take pictures of. No, but you know
(11:40):
what I really want to learn, see this is this
is how different I am now than I was twenty
years ago. I want to learn what every kind of
tree is on my property. Okay, so I'm gonna introduce
you to two fun little tools that um, you know,
my kids are always like tiktoking it and blah blah
blaing it. But I have two app that I are
(12:01):
my go to apps. One is called picture this Picture
This identifies all the trees on my property. And the
other one is um the Audubon Society. It's called Merlin
Bird I D And I'm a geek. I'm taking pictures
of every bird and every tree on my property and
then identifying them. And I I love having that knowledge.
(12:26):
I don't know why I'm a geek. I love it.
I mean it's I think it's it's just what happens.
If you get older, you start to appreciate what's around
you more. And also with global warming, a climate change
and all the things. It's like you look around and
you're like, man, this stuff is delicate. We're playing with
really delicate things. Um. But I also grow grapes. I grow.
(12:48):
I have an organic vineyard. So I'm very much into
the moon and the phases of the moon and the
dynamic farming and all the things. So I will be
downloading those apples before the shore. You will become addicted.
I am. I'm up to four feeders now. I started
identifying birds and then I'm like, oh, wait a minute,
if I, if I actually put feeders close, then I
(13:10):
can get better pictures. And then you discover that different
birds like different kinds of seeds and blah blah blah
and blieh blah BLI And I don't want to discourage
the wild turkeys, so you got to feed them on
the ground. And and I'm pathetic. No, that's not pathetic,
that's rad. My kids. Hummingbird feeder. Hummingbird feeders are. They're
(13:30):
so fun to see them and watch them and hear them.
And if you ever get to see a hummingbird nest,
it'll blow your mind. It'll blow your mind. They're like
birds spirit animal because they're very, very aggressive with their love.
They're very aggressive and they can withstand anything. Do you
know that. I think it's called the Anna's hummingbird migrates
(13:52):
like over two thousand miles. Oh yeah, it's like, dude,
you don't even weigh as much as a thimble and
you you make it thousands of miles. Yeah, it's amazing,
very amazing. I am the new proud owner of the
picture this app. Thank you. There you go. Speaking of
(14:12):
growing things, Pink, you planted quite the garden of projects lately,
and it seems like it's harvest time for your career
right now. I want you to tell us everything right
after I give one of my sponsors a shout out
for nurturing this podcast along. The Home Depot is one
of our podcast sponsors. Today, the Red, White, and Blue
(14:34):
event at the Home Depot is underway. Get more out
of summer with more from the Home Depot along with
Fourth of July savings. Whether you're ready to paint a wall,
upgrade and appliance, fire up a new grille, or spread
color throughout your garden, the Home Depot can help you
(14:54):
match low prices with your high expectations for your next project,
the home Depot. How doers get more done? So tell
me about I got to watch half of the movie, Um,
that looked like it was a fun, fun project. Your
documentary that was twenty nineteen, right, yes, your beautiful Trauma
(15:17):
World Tour. Gosh, I miss tours, I miss live performances,
I miss concerts. But the part I I got to
watch the first part of it, I loved that it
was showing how how you balance life as a performer,
a wife, a mama, a boss, an amazing performer, but
woven in every bit. And I'm assuming these are just
(15:41):
people stocking you, following you around, that are watching you
your kids. Your life is so interwoven and interconnected, and
so few people have the courage to do that. You know,
they have take your daughter to work day or take
your kid to work day. I'm like, what the hell
one day? Seriously, I know, I mean, I feel I
(16:06):
feel just lucky. I just feel lucky that I get
to I always wanted to be a runaway and join
the circus, and so now I'm the ringleader and my
kids are little circuits kids, and I have a fantastic village.
I'd say my my number one, Um, I guess the
thing I'm the most proud of is that I attract,
(16:29):
for whatever reason, magical human beings, and my kids get
to grow up with these people and see what it's
like in real time too, to follow your dreams and
to be passionate about something that might be a little
bit outside of the box but whatever normal is supposed
to be. And here's the cool thing, though, they'll never
(16:50):
know what that box looks like. You have given them
this joyous, joy filled, magical, beautiful, passionate experience it's called life,
or they'll they'll search for that box forever. I don't
think there's any chance, of hell of that happening, because
(17:11):
once you've tasted the high wire, once you've spun around
like you do, how can you ever comfortably, you know,
live in a box. That's true. I don't think anything
that has been touched by Pink could ever comfortably fit
in a small box. I don't think the people that
have been touched by you professionally, who worked with you,
(17:32):
I don't think they could ever go back to being normal.
And what a what a legacy that is. We have
a lot of fun, we do. I mean, my friends
and I were laughing the other day, we all we
took our kids to the beach and we were just
being totally idious and we're trying to be quiet because
(17:53):
the kids were all sleeping, and I was like, you
know what, if anything, our kids will have seen us
no joy. You know, they will see us laughing, and
they'll see us having these deep friendships and they'll look
for that and that's cool. So do you? I love you, Pink.
(18:13):
Tell me about all I know so far. I watched
the video. I then went and googled the lyrics because
I wanted to really drink them in, and then I
watched it again. Did you? I mean, I'm sure you
did all of the magic in that video. I'm I'm
sure came from your heart, your gut. Yeah, I mean
(18:35):
it's I think it's Dave and I. Dave Myers is
the director and it's our maybe sixteen video together, and
he's brilliant, and I just told him it needs to
be the story of my life. And the theme that
was very important to me was the field with those
with my my village, my tribe, my lady um and
(18:57):
the kids. And other than that he's just a crazy
person and that he just throws this sane treatments quick. Yeah,
let's do all of that and then cover me and Sunshine.
I'm guessing that was all shot at your property because
the fence, the chickens, You've got barred rock chickens. I
(19:21):
was checking out your chickens, going, I've got those kinds
of chickens. Yeah, we get the easter eggs. We love it,
love it. We'll give your daughter and your son lots
of love for me. I'm gonna let you go because
I'm gonna let you go. Be mom. Thank you for
for your music, thank you for your power, thank you
for your energy, and thank you for your time today.
Thank you for your kindness. Pink is an artist I
(19:45):
have long admired, although I can't believe it's only been
since two thousand, because it feels like I've been playing
her music for most of my career. I love how
open she is about her life and the struggles she
had when she was young her she has become an
incredible role model for young and old, advocating for self acceptance,
(20:05):
self love with the message to celebrate the gift of life,
however it arrived. I read a quote from her a
few years ago that said, I didn't expect other people
to treat me with respect, and I didn't demand it,
and I didn't have boundaries. I gave my power away
over and over and over. Well, she's obviously done doing that.
(20:29):
She seems determined not only to claim her power, but
to do everything in her power to make sure you
and I do as well, and she's sharing everything with
us that she knows so far. Make sure you pick
up or download All I Know so Far this single,
the album, and if it's the last thing you do,
watch the documentary. Thank you for joining me in pink today.
(20:50):
On Love Someone, I leave you to ponder this question.
What gift or talent do you have that you're not
making the most of. Something to think about on the
rest of your drive to work or from work, as
you work out, as you walk, as your garden, as
you do your chores, whatever it is you're doing while
(21:11):
you join us here. Thank you for this time together.

she's like, Mom, I'm not in your face like you are.
I can't wear this in So what's the what's your
favorite thing about living on acreage? How how spread out
are you nature? I love nature. I've always always loved
(11:19):
nature and animals and we have chickens and horses and
a dog and a lizard and lots of lots of
baby birds being born. Soon have you? Have you gotten
addicted to the bird app that identifies all the birds
that you can take pictures of. No, but you know
(11:40):
what I really want to learn, see this is this
is how different I am now than I was twenty
years ago. I want to learn what every kind of
tree is on my property. Okay, so I'm gonna introduce
you to two fun little tools that um, you know,
my kids are always like tiktoking it and blah blah
blaing it. But I have two app that I are
(12:01):
my go to apps. One is called picture this Picture
This identifies all the trees on my property. And the
other one is um the Audubon Society. It's called Merlin
Bird I D And I'm a geek. I'm taking pictures
of every bird and every tree on my property and
then identifying them. And I I love having that knowledge.
(12:26):
I don't know why I'm a geek. I love it.
I mean it's I think it's it's just what happens.
If you get older, you start to appreciate what's around
you more. And also with global warming, a climate change
and all the things. It's like you look around and
you're like, man, this stuff is delicate. We're playing with
really delicate things. Um. But I also grow grapes. I grow.
(12:48):
I have an organic vineyard. So I'm very much into
the moon and the phases of the moon and the
dynamic farming and all the things. So I will be
downloading those apples before the shore. You will become addicted.
I am. I'm up to four feeders now. I started
identifying birds and then I'm like, oh, wait a minute,
if I, if I actually put feeders close, then I
(13:10):
can get better pictures. And then you discover that different
birds like different kinds of seeds and blah blah blah
and blieh blah BLI And I don't want to discourage
the wild turkeys, so you got to feed them on
the ground. And and I'm pathetic. No, that's not pathetic,
that's rad. My kids. Hummingbird feeder. Hummingbird feeders are. They're
(13:30):
so fun to see them and watch them and hear them.
And if you ever get to see a hummingbird nest,
it'll blow your mind. It'll blow your mind. They're like
birds spirit animal because they're very, very aggressive with their love.
They're very aggressive and they can withstand anything. Do you
know that. I think it's called the Anna's hummingbird migrates
(13:52):
like over two thousand miles. Oh yeah, it's like, dude,
you don't even weigh as much as a thimble and
you you make it thousands of miles. Yeah, it's amazing,
very amazing. I am the new proud owner of the
picture this app. Thank you. There you go. Speaking of
(14:12):
growing things, Pink, you planted quite the garden of projects lately,
and it seems like it's harvest time for your career
right now. I want you to tell us everything right
after I give one of my sponsors a shout out
for nurturing this podcast along. The Home Depot is one
of our podcast sponsors. Today, the Red, White, and Blue
(14:34):
event at the Home Depot is underway. Get more out
of summer with more from the Home Depot along with
Fourth of July savings. Whether you're ready to paint a wall,
upgrade and appliance, fire up a new grille, or spread
color throughout your garden, the Home Depot can help you
(14:54):
match low prices with your high expectations for your next project,
the home Depot. How doers get more done? So tell
me about I got to watch half of the movie, Um,
that looked like it was a fun, fun project. Your
documentary that was twenty nineteen, right, yes, your beautiful Trauma
(15:17):
World Tour. Gosh, I miss tours, I miss live performances,
I miss concerts. But the part I I got to
watch the first part of it, I loved that it
was showing how how you balance life as a performer,
a wife, a mama, a boss, an amazing performer, but
woven in every bit. And I'm assuming these are just
(15:41):
people stocking you, following you around, that are watching you
your kids. Your life is so interwoven and interconnected, and
so few people have the courage to do that. You know,
they have take your daughter to work day or take
your kid to work day. I'm like, what the hell
one day? Seriously, I know, I mean, I feel I
(16:06):
feel just lucky. I just feel lucky that I get
to I always wanted to be a runaway and join
the circus, and so now I'm the ringleader and my
kids are little circuits kids, and I have a fantastic village.
I'd say my my number one, Um, I guess the
thing I'm the most proud of is that I attract,
(16:29):
for whatever reason, magical human beings, and my kids get
to grow up with these people and see what it's
like in real time too, to follow your dreams and
to be passionate about something that might be a little
bit outside of the box but whatever normal is supposed
to be. And here's the cool thing, though, they'll never
(16:50):
know what that box looks like. You have given them
this joyous, joy filled, magical, beautiful, passionate experience it's called life,
or they'll they'll search for that box forever. I don't
think there's any chance, of hell of that happening, because
(17:11):
once you've tasted the high wire, once you've spun around
like you do, how can you ever comfortably, you know,
live in a box. That's true. I don't think anything
that has been touched by Pink could ever comfortably fit
in a small box. I don't think the people that
have been touched by you professionally, who worked with you,
(17:32):
I don't think they could ever go back to being normal.
And what a what a legacy that is. We have
a lot of fun, we do. I mean, my friends
and I were laughing the other day, we all we
took our kids to the beach and we were just
being totally idious and we're trying to be quiet because
(17:53):
the kids were all sleeping, and I was like, you
know what, if anything, our kids will have seen us
no joy. You know, they will see us laughing, and
they'll see us having these deep friendships and they'll look
for that and that's cool. So do you? I love you, Pink.
(18:13):
Tell me about all I know so far. I watched
the video. I then went and googled the lyrics because
I wanted to really drink them in, and then I
watched it again. Did you? I mean, I'm sure you
did all of the magic in that video. I'm I'm
sure came from your heart, your gut. Yeah, I mean
(18:35):
it's I think it's Dave and I. Dave Myers is
the director and it's our maybe sixteen video together, and
he's brilliant, and I just told him it needs to
be the story of my life. And the theme that
was very important to me was the field with those
with my my village, my tribe, my lady um and
(18:57):
the kids. And other than that he's just a crazy
person and that he just throws this sane treatments quick. Yeah,
let's do all of that and then cover me and Sunshine.
I'm guessing that was all shot at your property because
the fence, the chickens, You've got barred rock chickens. I
(19:21):
was checking out your chickens, going, I've got those kinds
of chickens. Yeah, we get the easter eggs. We love it,
love it. We'll give your daughter and your son lots
of love for me. I'm gonna let you go because
I'm gonna let you go. Be mom. Thank you for
for your music, thank you for your power, thank you
for your energy, and thank you for your time today.
Thank you for your kindness. Pink is an artist I
(19:45):
have long admired, although I can't believe it's only been
since two thousand, because it feels like I've been playing
her music for most of my career. I love how
open she is about her life and the struggles she
had when she was young her she has become an
incredible role model for young and old, advocating for self acceptance,
(20:05):
self love with the message to celebrate the gift of life,
however it arrived. I read a quote from her a
few years ago that said, I didn't expect other people
to treat me with respect, and I didn't demand it,
and I didn't have boundaries. I gave my power away
over and over and over. Well, she's obviously done doing that.
(20:29):
She seems determined not only to claim her power, but
to do everything in her power to make sure you
and I do as well, and she's sharing everything with
us that she knows so far. Make sure you pick
up or download All I Know so Far this single,
the album, and if it's the last thing you do,
watch the documentary. Thank you for joining me in pink today.
(20:50):
On Love Someone, I leave you to ponder this question.
What gift or talent do you have that you're not
making the most of. Something to think about on the
rest of your drive to work or from work, as
you work out, as you walk, as your garden, as
you do your chores, whatever it is you're doing while
(21:11):
you join us here. Thank you for this time together.
