On October 8, Christine shared a “car confession” on her Instagram Stories. She tells her followers, “So the last couple of years before I left Kody, every time the radio would come on, it’s always about songs about like ‘your love’ and ‘forever love,’ and things like that. And I just remember thinking, ‘Ugh.’ So I made this empowering playlist.”
In a TikTok, Christine revealed that her daughter’s music was too focused on finding love, so she named the empowering playlist “Songs to listen to when Ysabel’s songs are driving me crazy.” Check out Christine’s TikTok below:
