In this episode of Deep Ish, Jake sits down with one of his closest friends, singer-songwriter Halle Kearns, for an honest conversation about the moments that quietly shape who we become.

We talk about growing up in the aftermath of her parents’ divorce, how music became both an escape and a lifeline, and the deeper realization she’s only recently uncovered — that her drive to pursue music may have been rooted in a desire to feel important and heard.

From navigating comparison and success in Nashville, to the hidden emotional weight we carry from childhood, to learning how to separate what we do from who we are — this conversation goes places you don’t usually hear artists go.
