Therapy has been instrumental in Noah's healing process. Through therapy, she was able to identify her emotions, understand the root causes of her problems, and make connections to her childhood experiences. Although it required consistent effort and commitment, therapy provided her with a safe space to express her emotions and work through her challenges.

Q: What were some of the emotions and experiences Noah had to confront in her healing journey, particularly related to body image and self-love?

Noah struggled with self-love and body dysmorphia from a young age. She found it difficult to love herself, even as a child, which caused her deep pain. Through therapy, she began to reframe her mindset and learn to appreciate and accept herself. She now sees herself as a fragile child who deserves love and care.

Q: How does Noah navigate the pressure of other people's opinions and societal standards of beauty while dealing with her own body image issues?

Noah acknowledges that it is challenging to believe others when they say she is beautiful, especially when she struggles with her own body image. She experienced intense bullying about her appearance, which further reinforced her negative self-perception. It led her to develop trust issues and made it difficult to accept the positive opinions of others. Noah emphasizes the importance of finding self-acceptance and learning to love oneself regardless of external standards.

Q: How does Noah deal with the lack of confidence she often feels while still being in the public eye and pursuing her music career?

Noah explains that even though she often doesn't feel confident, she continues to learn and grow. She emphasizes that confidence is not a constant state of mind but rather a result of consistently pushing oneself and taking action. While some may perceive her actions as confident, she believes that true confidence comes from personal growth and inner resilience.

Q: What role did music play in Noah's healing journey, especially during the creation of her latest album?

Music has always been a form of healing for Noah, but creating her latest album provided her with an opportunity to connect with her own musicianship and grow as an artist. The process of creating the album, particularly during her recovery process, gave her structure, focus, and an emotional outlet. It allowed her to express her emotions and find herself in the music, leading to a deeper understanding of her identity as an artist.

Q: How did Noah manage to fall back in love with music after feeling disconnected from it?

Noah never completely fell out of love with music, but she did struggle with doubts and insecurities throughout her career. However, during the process of creating her latest album, she found a renewed sense of connection with her music. Experimenting with different sounds and instruments, including playing some herself, ignited her excitement and love for music again. She also recognized the need to redirect her worship and admiration from others to her own craft and creativity.

Q: How does Noah believe people can change, particularly in the context of relationships?

Noah acknowledges the possibility of transformation and change in individuals, but she also believes that the probability of significant change is low. She points out that people can change, but it often requires significant personal growth, accompanied by tragedy, stress, and turmoil. Additionally, change cannot be forced by others; it must come from within the person themselves. While she believes in transformation, she also acknowledges the importance of self-acceptance and staying true to one's core values.

Q: How does Noah approach self-belief and self-trust in her own journey?

Although she acknowledges the ongoing struggle with self-belief, she now has a stronger belief in herself and her abilities.

Q: What was the inspiration behind Noah's lyric, "You can't make a god of somebody who's not even half of half a decent man"?

The lyric reflects Noah's past experiences of idolizing and excessively relying on others for her own happiness and validation. She worshipped others and expected them to fill a god-like role in her life. However, she came to the realization that this was an unhealthy pattern and that she needed to redirect her admiration and praise towards herself and her own creative journey.

Q: What is a belief about herself that Noah has developed and finds empowering for her growth?
