This isn’t about me anymore

A little while ago I publicly declared that I was finished talking about John.

But it turns out I’m not.

Because even though I don’t have to live with him anymore, there are millions of women all around the world living with John’s, or still recovering from living with John’s - and it has to stop.

So I’m on a mission for one million women to hear the DEAR JOHN album and these powerful song stories.

I’m not joking.

That’s why I created the DEAR JOHN Experience.

Making the DEAR JOHN album was the most personal and important thing I’ve ever done for myself.

But sharing it with the world isn’t about me anymore.

I’m sharing it because I know - after talking to thousands of women in my DM’s, emails, and at shows, that these songs and stories are fucking powerful catalysts for change.

I didn’t create this because I have a burning desire to tell you all my deepest darkest secrets (although I will 🔮) - but because, as Janet Mock says,

“telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act”

When we share our stories, we give others the courage to do the same.

Sometimes we give others the courage to make a change.

Sometimes we inspire someone to keep on going.

Sometimes we make someone think deeply about their one precious life.

And, sometimes, we simply remind someone that they are not alone.
