Frances Drost on Music, Marriage, and Finding Hope Through the Holidays

In this episode of Set Lusting Bruce, host Jesse Jackson sits down with musician Frances Drost to explore her remarkable journey in music and personal growth. Frances shares insights from her sheltered upbringing in South Central Pennsylvania and the pivotal influences that shaped her musical career, including her supportive husband and a critical moment at a Nashville music conference. The conversation touches on the balance between creative pursuits and long-term marriage, featuring her experiences from a 35-year marriage with someone who has different interests. Frances talks about the evolution of her songwriting and how the COVID-19 pandemic led her to write and self-publish books. She delves into her struggles with holiday grief after the tragic loss of her siblings, which inspired her second book, 'Portraits of White: Hope and Inspiration for Those Who Struggle with the Holidays'. The episode offers hope and strategies to those dealing with similar issues, emphasizing self-discovery and breaking cultural norms.
