The Prayer I Needed… So I Wrote It.
I was in a moment where I didn’t know what to do next with my career… so I did the only thing I knew: I prayed. Not someone else’s words — mine. I wrote this prayer straight from the heart, and it gave me peace I didn’t know I needed. Going to continue to pray this until I get the clarity I need.

Saddest Books I’ve Read
Both of these books definitely brought me to tears, but sometimes you just need a sad book. 1. If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin Such a sweet young romance story with a tragic ending. 2. A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole This one was absolutely heartbreaking. #lemon8partner

I thought I wrote a rom-com. I actually wrote my own trauma.
When I started All the Ways We’re Wrong, I thought I was writing something breezy — a gorgeous movie star saved from a mudslide by a broody mountain man, show tunes in the woods, a mud ball fight. Pure escapism. It wasn’t. I was writing about PTSD from MST — about being assaulted, repeatedly, wh

The saddest end to a relationship is one where…

How to write your first song ever
Here’s exactly how to start songwriting even if you’ve never, ever written a song before — trust me, there was a time where I had never taken songwriting seriously before, either. Don’t tell anyone I said this, but f*ck the guitar, f*ck the piano, you do NOT need to know how to play any instrume

“The Tower and the Wall” was written in November of 2016, immediately after Trump’s first election victory. Oddly enough, despite how dense and layered the lyrics are, it was one of the fastest songs I’ve ever written. Most of my work feels crafted line by line — this one felt delivered. I wasn’t c

“The saddest thing in life is wasted talent.”
Growing up, I must’ve watched this movie a million times. Those words always stuck with me… and at 28, they finally hit different. I made the choice to chase my dream, put my skills to work, and stop wasting the talents I was given. Here’s to betting on yourself, even when it’s scary. ✨ #Sport
