Ashley has been a performer long before her singing and original music was discovered on TikTok. One of my favorite female country artists, Ashley Cooke, joins me in today's episode! Ashley shares her breakthrough moments at Belmont University, the difficulties/ advantages of social media as an artist, and how she differentiates herself as a musician vs. a "tiktoker." She talks about the not-so-glamorous realities of touring, dating, and finding your personal brand. Saddle up!  Follow Ashley: TikTok: @theashleycooke

Today’s episode is about my more recent journey of discovering my faith! As someone who didn’t grow up very religious, I never felt a true connection until I prayed for the first time in a moment of uncertainty and sadness last September. I share a few instances where “coincidences” felt less like chance and more like someone or something intentionally placed in my life. I also share my experience going to church for the first time as an adult & how friendships have helped lead me closer to God. :)

Discovering my faith

Join me & my mom for a fun episode chatting about her marriage with my dad, her many jobs throughout the years, and our family! We reminisce childhood memories, talk about Susie HomeMakers & how her background in interior design influenced her crafty DIY-spirit. My "mommy" (don't judge me lol) was a stay at home mom while raising 3 daughters and decided to go back to school to be a teacher once we were teenagers. She shares the difficulties of being a teacher during covid and how mentally draining education can be + her advice for any young teachers. This is my new favorite episode, so special!! <3

Tiktok, boyfriends, friends & ADHD with Taryn Lamb

It’s time to talk about making friends as adults, but more importantly how hard it is to keep them! I’ll share stories of how my personal friendships have evolved over time through life changes such as engagements, weddings, moving, and pregnancy and how I’ve been able to maintain friendships (while cutting some off along the way).
