Laura is a singer and songwriter. Music is her life, being a star her dream. And it's about to become a reality.

At 21, she can choose whether to sign a contract with Warner, Sony, or Universal—everything she's ever wanted is within reach. Under the stage name "LuCia," she starts producing songs and tours all over Germany.

But at the same time, pressure, overwhelm, and inner emptiness mount. Relationships break down, contact with friends and her mother dwindles, and she loses the motivation to promote her music. Then her body gives out. She collapses in a shopping mall—and has an encounter that changes everything.

In this video, Laura talks about:

– Dream vs. Reality in the Music Industry: How a contract with a global label, 30 finished songs, and big plans turned into a daily routine filled with performance pressure, TikTok stress, and feeling overwhelmed

– Identity & Self-Worth: Why music wasn't just a job for her, but her entire self-image – and what happened when this last pillar crumbled

– Depression & Inner Emptiness: How a broken relationship, lost friendships, and arguments with her mother plunged her into a deep crisis – and why simply functioning on the outside was no longer the answer

– Searching for Meaning at Rock Bottom: What it means to see no meaning anymore and yet still search for a reason to carry on the next morning

– The Turning Point in the Mall: How an unexpected encounter after a physical collapse gave her new hope

– New Beginnings Instead of Repression: Why she deleted over 600 songs, freed herself from hate, drugs, and inner emptiness – and made room for something new

– Music, Identity & God: How the question "Who am I?" slowly leads to a new path – and why she suddenly wants to write different songs

🎙 An honest conversation about success, depression, identity, and the search for a new beginning.
