Alanis Morissette, in a candid interview, reflects on her life's journey since the release of her iconic album, Jagged Little Pill, 30 years ago. She discusses the various facets of her personality, acknowledging the contradictions and complexities that have shaped her. The interview touches upon her early struggles with the public's perception of her raw honesty and 'psychobabble,' a term she now embraces as her 'karmic assignment.' She delves into her personal life, including her marriage to Souleye, their family life, and the challenges of homeschooling their three children using a unique approach based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. The article also explores her experiences with postpartum depression after each of her three pregnancies, her battles with addiction, and her advocacy for mental health awareness. Furthermore, Morissette shares her perspective on the current sociopolitical climate in America, her views on the evolving landscape of mental health treatment, and her plans for her upcoming Glastonbury performance. The interview offers a comprehensive look into the life of a multi-faceted artist who has navigated both personal and professional challenges with resilience and grace.
