Multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated Mary Lambert first captured hearts with Macklemore’s “Same Love.” Now, she’s back with her powerful new single “The Tempest” and a full album on the way.

Mary opens up about her lifelong journey of healing…from confronting shame and embracing self-compassion to living authentically. She reflects on the activism that shaped her career and the liberating act of producing her own music.

In this episode, she and Jess explore the intersectionality of mental health, body image, altruism, and creativity. They talk about staying grounded and intentional in a world that often demands performance over presence, the role of community and creativity in healing, and the power of giving yourself permission to feel it all.

Rachel Grae joins the podcast for a conversation close to home - literally... we both grew up in NJ with dads who love Springsteen.

In this episode, we get to know the girl behind the pop music as Rachel shares the quirks that keep her human... her caffeine obsession, doomscrolling, and a shopping addiction.

Ahead of her upcoming European tour and new album, she opens up about how songwriting serves as therapy, staying present during her Lollapalooza debut, and the impact of Julia Cameron's The Artist’s Way,

This one's a must-listen. It's raw, real, and refreshingly relatable, more or less.
