Julia Cole on “Love You To Death,” Dating Red Flags & Opry Debut

Country singer-songwriter Julia Cole joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for an honest, funny, and deeply personal conversation about heartbreak, Texas country music, chasing big dreams, and turning real life into songs. Julia takes us inside her latest album, Love You To Death, breaking down the stories behind songs like “Treat Me Like Dirt” and “Big Picture.” She opens up about discovering her fiancé was cheating, the music that followed, and how some of the hardest moments in her personal life ultimately became fuel for her songwriting. She also reflects on making her Grand Ole Opry debut while wearing fabric that belonged to her grandfather, appearing on The Kelly Clarkson Show, performing at Stagecoach, and the breakthrough moments that have helped shape her career. From D1 athletics and climbing Kilimanjaro to heartbreak and the Grand Ole Opry, Julia Cole has collected a lifetime of stories and she's turning all of them into country music. Subscribe and leave a review to support the show! Chapters:(0:00) – Welcome Julia Cole!(1:00) – The Kelly Clarkson Show & Texas Country (7:00) – Opry Debut & Wearing Grandfather’s Fabrics (11:30) – Stories Behind “Treat Me Like Dirt” & “Big Picture” (14:00) – Walking Through Her Latest Album “Love You To Death” (19:00) – Give ‘Em the Boot Presented by TECOVAS (Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro) (25:00) – Julia Cole’s Red Flags in Dating (30:00) – Mount Rushmore of Texas Country Music & American Idol Experience (39:00) – Sisterhood Country, Stagecoach & Breakthrough Moments (46:30) – Cheating Fiancé & the Music that Followed (52:00) – Hidden Puns in Her Songwriting & Mentors in Music (54:00) – Volleyball at Vanderbilt & Upcoming Shows Shop Like a Farmer merch at https://shop.likeafarmer.com/ Follow along:IG: https://www.instagram.com/likeafarmerpodcast/FB: https://facebook.com/likeafarmerTT: https://www.tiktok.com/@likeafarmerpodcast About Like A Farmer:Like a Farmer is a podcast and video series that spotlights accomplished individuals from diverse industries and their inspiring stories of overcoming adversity and achieving success.
