"If I don't share it, I'll just regret it. And that's what I think is interesting when you think of like Kate Hudson, everyone's like actress. Is it terrifying to come out with music or are you like excited? Are you nervous?" — Kate Hudson
"The concept of accountability and relationships is like not talked about enough. And I love that you brought up, 'cause it also gives you so much more autonomy over your own life when you actually take accountability as opposed to being like, he did this to me." — Alex Cooper
"I do believe that a unit can exist differently than this sort of like very kind of religious concept of like marriage and male female relationship. Like I really believe that a unit can be even if someone is alone in their life and hasn't met the love of their life that they could have a best friend that they live close together and they can raise their children together and like have values inside of that that can be really important for children." — Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson candidly discusses her transition into music, a venture she previously feared due to societal expectations for actors to stay in their lane. She reveals she has hundreds of songs written over the years and felt compelled to share them to avoid future regret, highlighting the vulnerability involved in sharing personal art. The conversation delves into her upbringing, noting her parents' open approach to discussing sex and dating, which she believes fostered a less rebellious nature in her. She contrasts this with her high school experience, where she felt held back by the social scene and yearned for more artistic and travel-oriented pursuits, often taking on a supportive, "mom" role among her friends.
The discussion shifts to relationships, with Hudson sharing insights from her first marriage at a young age and emphasizing the importance of self-accountability. She defines a "unit" in relationships expansively, suggesting that strong partnerships can exist beyond traditional constructs, even involving close friends raising children together. Hudson also touches on the lingering love for ex-partners, framing it as a choice to maintain a loving perspective rather than a romantic one, and stressing that this perspective is easier to maintain when one has the financial means to exit unhealthy situations. She likens relationship dynamics to a DNA strand or a circulating wave, advocating for internal reflection rather than external blame when issues arise.
The latter part of the episode explores dating scenarios and the concept of independence within relationships. Hudson shares her experience taking a year-long break from men, which she found empowering and instrumental in her personal growth and eventual happy relationship with Danny. She advises listeners to avoid ignoring red flags and to embrace the unexpected, as love may not always conform to a "vision board." The conversation concludes with Hudson reflecting on her latest album, "Two to Love Fully," which she describes as a journey of love in its many forms, aiming for hopeful lyrics despite her natural inclination towards more melancholic themes.
