Alanis Morissette is opening up about suffering miscarriages during a recent interview with Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast.
The 46-year-old musician revealed that between her first born son, Ever and, third born, Winter, she had went through a “bunch of miscarriages”. Alanis also has a daughter, Onyx with husband Mario “Souleye” Treadway.
“We were chasing and just showing up and then surprises and then devastations and all of it,” Alanis explained. “But, I mean, I do trust, I have this trust pilot light thing that keeps cooking along — even when there’s a torrential downpour it’s still flickering — of hope and faith and vision for something to work out, whatever it is.”
She went on, telling Dax that she credits her innate optimism for keeping her hopes up about things she can not control.
“I’m an optimist who will get depressed and cry, but at the end of the day there’s still that little light,” Alanis said. “That little star of Bethlehem keeps dangling over there.”
Just recently, Alanis opened up about the meaning of her mental health song, “Diagnosis”.
