Los Angeles based pop singer-songwriter Ali Blake is my guest on this week’s episode of the podcast. Ali uses her music to heal through creativity and is an avid supporter of environmental, animal, and human rights causes.

Listen in as we talk about bringing others in to help when something isn’t your strength, the importance of connecting with other women and sharing the spotlight, and telling your truth.

Her latest album, Blood, was released on June 1 and is available digitally on major streaming platforms.

Quotes that stood out:

• “I think it’s important for people and artists to know that it’s okay to do that [take time to slow down and lean into feelings] and not constantly be pressured to produce something like a machine.”
• “You never truly know what is going on in someone else’s mind, and more often than not people tend to appreciate honesty and truth.”
• “Women supporting each other is so incredibly important. We are only stronger together and there is enough room for all of us to shine at the same time.”
