Wait, Hold Up!

There comes a point in every artist or dreamer's life where they're faced with the reality that conforming to other people's preferences may just help them "make it." But for singer Raquel Rodriguez, conformity is not an option. The soulful, L.A. native is taking on the music industry on her terms and her authenticity is bringing out a quality of music you can't help but swoon over. In this episode, she's honest about the struggles of being an artist in L.A., her important self-care rituals, and how celebrating the accomplishments of others has taken her career to another level.
