Summary

This episode is such a treat! I had the joy of sitting down with the incredible Tasha Layton while I was hosting a special Dove Awards press event for her. Our conversation was equal parts fun and meaningful, we covered everything from motherhood and mental health to the heart behind writing songs that meet people right where they are. You’ll hear Tasha’s vulnerable reflections, hilarious stories, and a few girly things we’re both loving right now (yes, it got chatty in the best way). If you’ve ever wondered how faith, family, and creativity weave together in a life that’s both messy and magnificent, this episode is for you.

You should come sing with me later. Absolutely not. I didn't wear denim and black. I can't. I didn't meet the uniform.
