Moons Over the Garden (out on the 19th) is about the emotional labor that comes along with an unexamined relationship dynamic. It’s about burying your partners burdens so they are less on them. In turn, being more on you.

I think as women (especially in the South), we are culturally raised to people please and make everyone else feel comfortable (except ourselves). To feel the responsibility of suppressing our own feelings so we don’t cause more of a burden upon others.

I am so grateful to be alive and almost 40 to have really had the time to work through these issues and break those lineage stories and cycles. Not that it’s perfect now, but there’s at least a little awareness and intention around it. A little more self trust and confidence in the fact that others feelings aren’t my responsibility.

10 days until the third single drops!
