Episode Details

Carly Simon, the iconic singer-songwriter, has revealed she’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, adding to a string of health battles including multiple joint replacements and skin cancer surgery. Though the diagnosis brought unexpected emotional and physical challenges—like fatigue, apathy, and mobility struggles—she’s chosen to retreat from public life not to disappear, but to hibernate, heal, and create. Her new album, “Comes in Waves,” was born from this quiet period, proving that illness doesn’t have to silence your voice. With gratitude for her support system and a fierce determination to keep writing and singing, Simon reminds us that even in slowing down, life continues—and she’s still very much here.
