THE MIDLIFE EDIT PODCAST
Tracy Bonham
From Mother Mother to Midlife Power
ABOUT THE CONVERSATION
Thirty years of making music. Now, what?
Tracy Bonham has spent three decades making music, touring, creating, and carrying a voice that helped define an era. But this conversation isn't really about looking backward.
It's about what happens when you've spent years making yourself smaller—even while your art is anything but. Tracy and Jen talk about creativity, motherhood, identity, getting older in an industry obsessed with youth, and what it looks like to finally take up the space you've earned.
