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. ”

Being a full-time musician back before I had my son, it was sort of too much 'me' all the time. I felt like a bit of a narcissist, always doing just my art - even though I feel like artists are doing a service as well. I needed something a little more literal, instead of writing music and hoping people enjoyed it. ”

The minute I had him, my son, I realized that I had to just time-manage in a way that I never had to before. ”

I've always put out EPs because I had a kid and never had the time to tour and do what it takes to support a record. ”

I got to play with incredible musicians, but it happened really fast. I couldn't believe it was all happening, and so by the time I was, like 18, 19, I sort of took a break and was just like, 'I'm not ready for this.' ”

In my family, it was always encouraged to become a creative person. I became a doula instead, then I married an actor, and my sisters became famous almost overnight. ”

The work I do when I'm not making music is very much about service, helping women give birth or aiding in family planning. ”
