I was sort of getting used to being a single mom, maybe a little too used to it.

I had to learn to respect the relationship my son had with his father outside of the three of us.

I love a jumpsuit, and I have a bunch of them. I'm known for wearing them like a uniform.

What I learned is that it's very hard to have both a family life and a touring life simultaneously.

My son's birth was pretty life-shattering, in good ways and bad ways. I realized that I needed a doula because I'm not close to my mom, and I don't have a lot of people in New York.

Listeners can expect to feel very relaxed during the listening experience of 'Beyond Waves.' The songs are very lyrical and extremely intimate, so I feel like you're going to need to be in a quiet room when you hear them, at least the first time.

I feel like doulas put the ball back in the mom's court. They trust you to normalize the high drama.

I grew up in a family where my father was in a rock band, and I saw and heard every story.

I felt this pressure to just be the singer in my family or the musician in my family. But once I had my son, I was like, 'No, I can do all of it.'

In Ear Park' perfectly encapsulates the beauty of youth for me.

The idea of windows, that's so symbolic to me within labor. And I'm always opening windows during a birth. If someone's been in labor all night and they're exhausted and sort of over it, opening a window or drawing a curtain can change the game. And sometimes the doula is the first one to suggest it.

I just believe pregnant women need a familiar face, someone who isn't related to them who they may have all this emotional past with, to be there, just for them, during the birth.
