In this episode, Anna Lunoe shares how becoming a mother transformed her life, her career, and her creative process. She speaks candidly about the challenges of performing while pregnant, the uncertainty she felt, the anxiety of being in clubs whilst pregnant, and the unexpected strength she found in both herself and the support of the dance music community. Anna discusses the realities of raising young children while touring, producing music, and hosting radio shows. She offers an intimate look at how motherhood has deepened her perspective, sharpened her focus, and reshaped her sense of purpose. As she reflects on the making of her new album Pearl, Anna explains how parenting taught her to work with more intention, let go of perfection, and say no to what no longer serves her. This conversation is a powerful reminder that motherhood and ambition can coexist and that growth in one area of life can fuel transformation in another.
