Throwback Thursday

Bunnie sits down with rock icon Melissa Etheridge for one of the most powerful conversations of the season. Melissa opens up about her Midwest beginnings, her rise from family “black sheep” to certified GOAT, and the journey from Berklee College of Music to landing her first deal with Island Records.

She gets candid about coming out in a world that wasn’t ready, choosing authenticity over expectations, and breaking generational patterns with grit and grace. Melissa also reflects on the devastating loss of her son Beckett to opioid addiction, her 20-year fight as a breast cancer survivor, and the beautiful love story that led her to her wife, Linda.

Plus, she gives Bunnie a behind-the-scenes look at her new Paramount docuseries I’m Not Broken, where she brings hope, healing, and music to the women of Topeka Correctional Facility.

Raw, inspiring, and unforgettable — this is Melissa Etheridge like you’ve never heard her.
