💬 Raw. Real. Ridiculous in the BEST way!

This episode is for the dreamers, the strugglers, the come-backers, and everyone who needs a laugh with their life lessons!

📺 Buckle up for PART 1 of the most unforgettable episode of @JoyceBehindTheMic yet—featuring longtime friend, singer-songwriter-performer, and walking ray of sunshine, Mr. Brett Axelson. From soulful confessions to ridiculous hypotheticals, this episode is a rollercoaster of grit, grace, and gut-busting laughter!

🎙️ In the JBTM Studio, Joyce and Brett dive deep into the highs and lows of a musician's life—from playing gigs over holidays (and somehow still being the family favorite) to waking up in Austin hotel rooms filled with regret.

🪞 Brett shares the moment he stared in the mirror and said, “I hate you… but I don’t want to,” and how that painful truth flipped the switch on his comeback journey—with zero weaning process and 100% willpower.

🎸 Along the way, we cover:

🖤 Why music is a lifeline, especially when grief hits hard

🖤 The power of a badass 91-year-old mom who critiques every lyric

🖤 The actual worst decision of Brett’s life (hint: it involves Jamaica and a lawsuit)

🖤 Cornstalks lodged in truck grills, pantry breakdowns, and plane bottles of whiskey

🖤 And the true meaning of success: self-love, second chances, and sometimes… glider pilot licenses

🤣 Just when you think you’ve heard it all, it’s game time—Joyce pulls Brett into a hilarious round of "Would You Rather" that includes moral dilemmas, genie wishes, and whether nice pirates even exist (spoiler: questionable).

This episode continues with Part 2.
