00:07I have just bought this gorgeous little Fiat 500C, Bella Bambina I call her.
00:16It's my midlife crisis divorcee single woman car.
00:21It's been a very difficult 20 months since getting a letter from a lawyer telling me
00:28that my marriage was over. Certainly the most challenging period of my life.
00:35Yeah, the shock of going from a very busy family of four to being on my own in an empty
00:42house
00:43was pretty wild.
00:48But all I've ever done is process my life and my emotions through music,
00:53so these songs just fell out like they always have.
00:56This isn't what I signed up for. This isn't what I wanted.
01:03Katie's new record is about new beginnings as well as acknowledging the very real hurt
01:09and pain and grief that comes with the loss of a long-term relationship.
01:14Now we speak via legalese and trivial discussions of possessions and sh** that means nothing.
01:25It certainly has not been an easy parting of the ways, but I think that music's always been a form
01:31of therapy for Katie.
01:32They choose to be with you and that's okay, but God it hurts.
01:42All my favourite artists, they sing of truth. They write of truth.
01:49It's just like, please remember you can take your broken heart and turn it into art.
01:55This isn't what I wanted. This isn't what I signed up for.
02:05I know one thing I wonder.
02:07It takes a moment when I told you.
02:07There's no one thing I can write about.
02:07You know.
02:08There's no one thing I do.
