FOX Business' Lydia Hu opens about her career, motherhood, and balancing all of life's demands in Dana Perino's new book, 'I Wish Someone Had Told Me.'

Kelsea Ballerini’s new viral song, "I Sit in Parks," is haunting. It’s not another breakup anthem or empowerment track. It’s a confession — an elegy for something missing, something she only realized she wanted after the world told her not to want it.

"I sit in parks / It breaks my heart / ’Cause I see just how far I am / From the things that I want."

In just a few lines, she captures the ache of a generation of women who were told to chase freedom, ambition and self-discovery — but never told what to do when they found themselves alone, wondering if they ran too far from the very things that would have grounded them.

Now, she’s writing songs about sitting in parks watching families, other women’s families, and wondering if she missed her moment.

Our bodies, our hearts, and our souls have rhythms that no ideology can rewrite. For decades, women were told that "you can have it all" meant "you can have it all, later." But "later" comes faster than we think.

It’s heartbreaking, not because she’s weak or naïve, but because she’s honest. She’s saying out loud what millions of women feel but are too afraid to admit: that the promises of feminism —the ones that said motherhood would chain........
