Sierra Spirit is a Tulsa-born, Indigenous artist whose songs blend storytelling, grief, and healing into deeply intimate music. In this powerful episode, Sierra opens up about growing up Cherokee in the South, discovering her voice through songwriting, and what it means to simply exist — and be seen — in an industry where representation still lags behind.

From heartbreak to heritage, from Phoebe Bridgers to pedal steel, she talks about writing music that helps make sense of life’s biggest emotions — and building bridges through honesty and connection. This is more than an artist interview. It’s a heartfelt portrait of purpose, voice, and visibility.
