Another Mother

Welcome back! Sorry I took a brief pause for LIFE! Music, motherhood, travel...it's all a lot but I'm now back in the swing with some great new conversations lined up for you for late spring! Right before things got nutty in March, I sat down with my friend Charlie Faye to talk about her version of motherhood in the music industry.  A lifelong musician herself, Charlie enjoys bridging th...

Raina Rose is so cool. A friend for many years, she moves through the world as a mom, friend, artist, and human in a way I really admire - in tune with the earth & her community. She grew up in Portland and I feel like you can hear the sound of the Pacific Northwest in her gorgeous folk tunes. (Her album Caldera is a fave!) Raina has toured relentlessly for the better part of the last ten year...

Wendy Colonna is just a damn delight! So excited to talk to a longtime friend, peer, mentor & all around badass human & mother.  Wendy Colonna, a Louisiana native, immersed in the music-rich culture of Cajun Country, started singing early, shaped by her diverse heritage. She fell in love with music through church choir, strumming guitars on porches, and her parents’ record collection. Afte...

Wow, what a dynamic human being!  I'm so happy to offer you my official first interview of 2026 with Erin Walter of Austin's indie punk-pop activist power trio Parker Woodland. (We spoke during our recent TX ice storm & it was such a much-needed hour of joy for me!)  Erin is not only a bandleader, bassist, songwriter & vocalist but she is a true leader in the Austin community &am...

The brilliant Carrie Rodriguez agreed to talk motherhood & music with me & estoy muy excited porque Carrie, as you might have caught on by now, is a bilingual "Americhicana" y madre - weaving her classical training on the violin & her beautiful voice into folk, country, pop and Latin sounds. We talked about her latest project Laboratorio which is to me one of the most unique...

I'm so excited to welcome you to the world of the amazing Rachel Loy, a songwriter, bassist, & producer who has also been a dear inspiration as a mother. (Though she first inspired me musically at Momo's with her album Love the Mess which could also be another title for this podcast!) She became a mom just before I did so I looked to her right away for advice as I entered this crazy...

Hello & welcome! Suzanna Choffel here, longtime singer-songwriter & now mother to two daughters, ages 6 & 10, and two step-kiddos in their 20s...I have been dreaming up this podcast ever since I became a mom in the middle of an upward music career, trying to figure out what to do, how to do it, and who to turn to for advice & inspiration.  My hope is that these conversations with m...
