## Resource

Alexandra Kay joins Girls In Low Places in the lead up to BST Hyde Park for one of our most honest conversations yet. Fresh off a flight from the US, she opens up about building one of country music’s biggest independent success stories, why nobody is coming to save your career, and how she’s learnt to stop chasing the algorithm and focus on making music she truly loves. Katie and Alexandra also have a candid conversation about divorce, calling off weddings, grief and the pressure women feel around marriage. Alexandra reflects on the lessons she learnt after her own divorce, why spending time alone is essential before dating again, and how she eventually found love again. Katie shares her own experience of ending her engagement as they discuss healing, guilt and finding the courage to choose the life that’s right for you. Plus… fangirling over Garth Brooks ahead of his BST Hyde Park headline set, the return of female country anthems, surviving London’s heatwave, coffee creamers, frozen margaritas and why Alexandra has promised to join Girls In Low Places Therapy if she spots Katie dressed as a nurse at BST.
