Maddie & Tae join Caroline Hobby on this episode of GET REAL. They burst onto the scene at just 16 years old, scoring a record deal and skyrocketing to fame seemingly overnight. But behind the glitz, these young stars were struggling to juggle it all while trying to discover who they truly were. Now, after navigating the highs and lows of the industry, they have emerged stronger than ever with their latest project What A Woman Can Do. In the episode, Maddie & Tae dive into the realities of being touring moms, balancing a high-profile career with their #1 priority -- their families. Tae opens up about her experience going into pre-term labor with her daughter Leighton at the height of the pandemic and the emotional turmoil of giving birth to a micro-preemie. Tae, who is currently pregnant with her second child, shares how she is doing this time around and how she'll navigate touring in her third trimester. Maddie also dives into her own traumatic birth experience with her son Forrest, sharing that she could actually feel her emergency C-section! Both Maddie and Tae detail struggling with mental health throughout their twenties, and Maddie shares about being diagnosed with a panic disorder and her positive experience with LENS and ketamine therapies. Tae, the self-proclaimed introvert of the duo, talks about the process of finding the right therapist that could peel back her layers. The duo also explains the sentiment behind their new EP What A Woman Can Do, hoping to be living proof to other women out there that they can do it all!
