I am thrilled to catch up with Two-Time Grammy Nominee & Country Music Superstar Jo Dee Messina, whom I have not spoken with since 2010 (16 years ago) when she performed at Michael Feinstein's former NYC cabaret club (Feinstein's at Loews Regency) on her Music Room Series Tour.

On the heels of Jo Dee releasing, Bridges, her 1st studio album in over 10 years & getting ready to go back out on tour, I am thrilled to reconnect with the Country Music Megastar herself!

In this NEW interview, Jo Dee once again answered my call, but this time around she shares:

• Why it took over a decade to release a new studio album
• The meaning & message behind titling the new album Bridges
• Finding moments of feeling truly seen & the times she has felt invisible and overlooked
• What she loves most about connecting with audiences today
• How she prepares herself & her voice before stepping on stage each night
• The biggest changes in the music business she’s had to adapt to
• The message she’d send to her younger self (or to herself today)
• Owning her identity and not letting others “hide her beautiful”
• Dreams she still wants to chase & goals she hasn’t hit yet
• How her faith has helped her keep going & stay grounded
• So much more

*Editor's Note: I was so excited to be speaking with Jo Dee Messina that during my introduction, I didn't know how to count & mistakingly said, I have conducted over 23 interviews, but that is incorrect. I have conducted over 2,300 interviews in the last 17 years.
