You probably know Breanna Nix from her showstopping duet with Brandon Lake on the 2025 season of American Idol, but what you might not know is everything that led her to that Hollywood stage. Breanna opens up to Sadie about growing up in a broken home, not knowing her real dad, and the painful truth that sent her spiraling into rejection and shame.

She gets real about being bound by food, how she rebuilt a healthy relationship with it in a way that honors God, and now coaches others to do the same. Sadie can’t wait to hear about Breanna’s now-viral moment with Carrie Underwood, who encouraged her about “just” being a stay-at-home mom.

Plus, Breanna spills the tea on the crazy weeks leading up to her American Idol audition: fights with family and church leadership over whether she should even compete, almost passing on dating her now-husband, and how marriage and motherhood have completely changed the game.
