Friend of the show Kashena Sampson returns to discuss her transformative new album, Ghost Of Me—a powerful cycle of letting go and rising again, structured around the phases of the moon.

Kashena details her shift from Americana to a dark, industrial pop/rock sound, how she intentionally aligned her singles ("Rear View Mirror," "Phases") with specific lunar milestones, and the "vampire-style" arrangement she demanded for her song "Heartache."

The Power of Shadow Work: When she started her journey of introspective growth and why quitting alcohol 19 years ago was the catalyst for her personal transformation.

The New Nashville Dilemma: The contradiction of maintaining spirituality while navigating the demands of social media and the pressure to constantly compare yourself to other artists on stage.

The making of the defiant torch song, "F*cked Up Love."

Working with producer Jon Estes and guitarist B.L. Reed.
