American Idol Contestant Breanna Nix Opens Up About Chasing Her Dreams As A Stay-At-Home Mom

Stay-at-home mom-turned-American Idol contestant Breanna Nix is opening up about chasing her dreams during this busy season of life.

The 25-year-old said during an interview with WFAA that the only thing holding her back in her own life, was herself.

“I never thought I would be on the other side of the fence encouraging other people, I never thought I could be that person to like speak life into someone who felt hopeless, and there have been so many moms who have texted me or try to video chat,” Nix shared.

The Texas-native said she aims to encourage other stay-at-home moms to dream big, and know they can do whatever they put their mind to.

“It’s been awesome to know that I have, like, moms cheering me on and also at the same time encouraging them to chase their own dreams,” she said.

“I’m really just excited to celebrate with my friends and with my family, the ones who have believed in me and cheered me on since the get go,” the singer said of going home to Denton, Texas on tonight’s (May 14) episode.
