Melissa Etheridge sits down with Joel Madden for one of the most open, wide-ranging conversations the show has ever had. The Grammy and Oscar-winning rock icon talks about the philosophy she built after a life-changing experience in 2003, how a cancer diagnosis two decades ago completely rewired the way she eats, thinks, and moves through the world, and why 22 years later she has never felt better. She also opens up about losing her son to an opioid overdose, the foundation she started in his name to fund psychedelic research for addiction treatment, and what it actually felt like to come out in 1993 when almost nobody else was doing it. Plus: Chiefs football, Travis Kelce, the national anthem, and a new album she cannot wait for you to hear.
