Brace yourself for a cringe-worthy-self-interview, where I tackle the questions I think you might have. I get vulnerable and share about moments of joy to moments of self-doubt. Join me as I offer a candid look behind the mic. This one's for fellow creators and curious listeners alike!

In this week's episode, I share memories from my life from a musical lens. I talk about finding passion and belonging in singing from an early age, falling in love with lyrics & songwriting, how I struggled with mindset and mental blockers, how much Avril Lavigne and her music meant to me (just wait for the entire avril episode lol), and how female singer songwriters in general always empowered and inspired me.
