In the podcast, the singer says, among other things, that she wants to do things differently in the next ten years. Roxeanne especially wants to get rid of her fears. “I lived in fear from my 20s to my 30s,” she says. She thinks it’s important to address her ‘deep-seated traumas’: “I’m healing the girl in me.”
Roxeanne finds it difficult to be alone and struggles with it in daily life. For example, her boyfriend Erik is against the rules of the program during the recordings of the Dear Singers. “That’s an exception. That never happens. That’s not allowed.” For Roxeanne it is a hard demand. “I can’t sleep alone. I find that very difficult. This is something that is very deep with me. Being alone and sleeping alone.”
The singer bursts into tears when Patty then asks how it is for Roxeanne when Erik drops out. Her world would collapse, she says. “I think about that a lot. (…) Then I would go crazy.”
She continues: “This is why I want to do things differently for the next ten years. These are those irrational fears for me. Things that are not going to happen tomorrow. Since I became a mother, there have been so many more fears.”
Roxeanne’s family is very important to her. “That’s really my safe place.” The mere thought that something would happen to one of them is ‘fodder to get panic attacks’ for the singer.
