00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can track it back. Let's

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: do it, because I think you're just a wonderful artist,

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: and that's what I know you as now to the

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: point where I've brought you on the road and paid you.

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: I like for audiences to see you. But I know

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: we have a story of how we met the first time,

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: or maybe it was did you meet Amy? I met

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: Amy in Whole Foods? That's what it was. It was

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: the Green Hills Whole Foods And you didn't meet her

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: as an artist who was going, hey, play my music.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: What was that story? So my now husband and I

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: were in Whole Foods, probably in workout clothes, and he

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: and I, together and separately, have been fans of your

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: show and listened every morning, you know, both of us

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: on our way to work, and we saw Amy and

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: just freaked out. And so he was wearing a Pimp

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: and Joy shirt just because he wears Pimp and Joy

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: stuff all the time. Awesome and coincidentally cool. Yeah, yeah,

22
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,120

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,920

00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: And then I want to get to your story in

77
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: a second. But what I saw was in the last

78
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: few weeks, maybe a month or so, I had chosen

79
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: one of your songs. I'm not sure which one it was,

80
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: but you were posting that you were listening to it,

81
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: and you had a baby in your arms in the video. Yeah,

82
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, either she just told a baby

83
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: or she just had one. And I didn't even know

84
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: you were pregnant. Yep, I was nine months, so it

85
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: had been that long. I guess pandemic hu. Yeah, So

86
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: I think you and I met I think when I

87
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: came in was during that twenty twenty year where everything

88
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: was when do we go out festivals? Though? One, okay,

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: that's the last time webs like not like I've been

90
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: keeping trackers. No, I don't, I don't, I don't know

91
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: any Okay. So I just I felt like such a

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: jerk because I don't even know you were pregnant. Well,

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: fast forward to bringing my daughter home. Uh, you played

94
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: my song about that I wrote partly about her and

95
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: it was the day that we brought her home from

96
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: the hospital that yep. And what was that song? Right

97
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: on time? And you wrote that with Scott Stepakoff, who

98
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: I really you know or he was one of the ride.

99
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: Are you Sarah Elizabeth? What is your name? My full

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: name is Sarah Elizabeth? Got it? I thought you wrote it,

101
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: but that wasn't your You had a whole different name.

102
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, maybe you're like I don't know,

103
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: I didn't know if that was because you so Sarah

104
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: Beth's Tad is your stage name? Yes? Yeah? And then

105
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: what's your soul security number? We're just getting your identity

106
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: stolen right here? Okay? So that makes sense though, because

107
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: when I read I thought I thought you'd written that song, yep.

108
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: And I know Scott and I like Scott. And so

109
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: when you go, when you write this song right on

110
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: Time because you didn't have your daughter yet, No, it

111
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: was gosh, Scott, and I wrote Honestly, most people did

112
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: not know that I was pregnant. I'm not sure that

113
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: my management team, even your husband didn't know that was

114
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna be trouble. Hey, Colby didn't know Colby was number one,

115
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: So that's good. But how to write with Scott. He's

116
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: one of my favorite co writers, and I can always

117
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: be really honest with him. And so I was talking

118
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: about the pregnancy and it was really fresh. I had

119
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: just found out and it was a good surprise that

120
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: we were having a baby. And so I was telling

121
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: him a little bit about this story and I was like, Scott, this,

122
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: this timing is just like, this is just God's timing.

123
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: We've got to We've got to put this into a song.

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: And so anyways, Right on Time was born, and it

125
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: was just the perfect song to kind of end last

126
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: year with because it was exactly what I was going

127
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: through personally. And you know, I'm not in a position

128
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: right now to be putting out music that's not exactly

129
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: where I'm at and what I've what I've been through authentically,

130
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: and so because right on time is that song you

131
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: wrote with Scott, but the the EP that you had

132
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: that was not on that am I right? Nope, separate Okay,

00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: like most names, it's like they come in and it

156
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: hits you and one of you is like, I hate it.

157
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: We can't do it. So was there a name that

158
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: you really liked it he hated? You know, there were

159
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: a lot and I don't even remember them now. We

160
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: it was like process of elimination was so easy because

161
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: there were so many that he loved that. I was like, nope,

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: never did you guys ever stump and be like, no, reconsider.

163
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: I know you're vetoing, but give me one more shots.

164
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: He loves the name Charlie boy or a girl. I

165
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: like it as a girl. Listen, I have nothing against Charlie,

166
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: Like I really have nothing against it. I just knew

167
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: a lot of Charlie's and it's just, you know, you

168
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: can't help the way it hits it. I like it

169
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: for other people's kids, it's just not my kid. But also,

170
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: if you know somebody that was weird or a jerk

171
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: or mean to you. And they had a name. That's

172
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: just how you associated. They had a name. Yeah, there

173
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: was it ruins it. This girl name SARABETHS. Tate used

174
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: to pick on me in school, like eighth grade. It's

175
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: hard for me to shake that. You know, you came

176
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: to Nashville as a teenager seventeen eighteen years old. Yes,

177
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: I moved when I was seventeen. So what did that mean?

178
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: School wise? Did you finish? Did you do homeschool? Did

179
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: you do what happened there? I did graduate high school

180
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: and then got out of Dodge right out, So I

181
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: graduated early and then left right away. Did you do

182
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: like a high school athlete? And you did more earlier

183
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: so you could be done so you could get started

184
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: in college? Or they would like college football. But let's

185
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: say they would finish high school early so they could

186
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: go ahead and get there. Yes, did you do that

187
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: to get here? Yes? I did. I think it was

188
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: a semester early that I graduated, and I also did

189
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: some online classes. I signed my first publishing deal when

190
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 1: I was fourteen, and so I started coming to Nashville

191
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: and co writing early on. People were paying you at

192
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: fourteen years old to write music? Yes, what did you

193
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: write at thirteen or fourteen to make people go there

194
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: that she, this young woman can do this. This is

195
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: the thing. I really don't know. So I look back

196
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why were people paying me to be here?

197
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Like I'm really the music? It was like, we gotta

198
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: step it up and partial though, must have been some

199
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: little nugget of something. You don't know what the nugget was.

200
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: I attribute this to beginner's luck. And when I say

201
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: beginner's luck, really what I mean is I was so

202
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: blissfully naive. I mean I was like, I remember being

203
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: on a plane to Nashville and I was like, I'm

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: gonna go, I'm gonna get a publishing deal. I'm gonna

205
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: like go to music row and I'm just gonna walk

206
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: around and get a publishing deal. And like who was that?

207
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, but you did it, but it happened, but

208
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: you did it right. So and again there was another

209
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: teenage girl who did something similar, which there's been a

210
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: few bit like Taylor did that right. So was knowing

211
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: how Taylor did that and she's sixteen putting out songs?

212
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: Was that in your mind? Like, well if I would have,

213
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: because I would imagine that would be an influence on me. Yes, No,

214
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: I was definitely in that in that phase of watching her,

215
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of girls my age watched that,

216
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: going well, if she can do it, I can do it.

217
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: And I just think that there's something so much to

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: really like believing that you can do something without having

219
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: any I had none of the knowledge know how hard

220
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: that might be. And I'm I'm here, you know, over

221
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: ten years later from being fourteen, and I didn't know

222
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: where I mean, I thought I would be like accepting

223
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: Grammy's by the time I was eighteen. But the journey

224
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: along the way has been so much better than I

225
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: ever could have thought. And it's it really just starts with,

226
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, being like, I'm gonna do this and not

227
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: being aware of all of the obstacles you're gonna face.

228
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: I think be a naive is great a lot of

229
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: times because you don't know what the failures can be

230
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: and it doesn't scare you because those fears don't exist. Yes,

231
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: because and that that's happened a lot in my career too,

232
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: where I'm just like, let's go, oh, yeah, I don't

233
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: know think about it, but let's just let's see what

234
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: happens where If I would have really known how hard

235
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: or how tough it, because it did get tough, i'd

236
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: have been maybe I'd maybe i'd just been like, I

237
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: don't know, man, But I think be a knaive helped

238
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: me actually, and not having people that did what I

239
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: do yes around me that said, oh, you shouldn't do

240
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: that because it's very hard. Nobody just knew at all.

241
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: So I was like, let's I'm from Arkansas, let's go

242
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: I can do anything in the whole world. Yes. Yeah.

243
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: And Two, I think like with what you just said,

244
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: I think there's a there's a confidence that comes with

245
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: thought that I really think, you know, showing up feeling

246
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: like I belong to be here, even though looking back,

247
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm like that girl didn't right, she had no business

248
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: being in some of those rooms. But but I at

249
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: the time felt like I belonged for whatever reason. And

250
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: I think that that energy kind of carries over into

251
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: everything you do and it ends up just kind of

252
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: i'm sure in your life, just getting you into places

253
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: that you never thought you'd be and trouble. I mean

254
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: both honestly, yes, very tar So you move here, though,

255
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: do you pack up a car as at one of

256
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: those or do you just have a couple of suitcases

257
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: and you fly But you're seventeen, So how does that work?

258
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: And does that parent come with you for a little bit? Well,

259
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I drove to my first apartment.

260
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: I was seventeen. My mom dropped me off, like, bless

261
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: my parents? Where from Colorado? Did you drive from Fort Collins?

262
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: And I like for Collins a lot. It's a good place.

263
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: It's a great yeah. And then you do you remember

264
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: the drive? You guys do whatever? Two days? Was it? Like? Yep?

265
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: Two days? We drove through Arkansas. I have family in Fayetteville, right,

266
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: same family. We're all cousins, fad you know, we're probably related.

267
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: So we would stay at my aunt Jois's farm, and

268
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: we did this, My mom and I did this a

269
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: decent bit between fourteen and seventeen. We would drive and

270
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: we had some of the best times doing that, just

271
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: us too. And anyway, she got me out here that

272
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: last time and dropped me off, and for some reason

273
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: they felt comfortable enough to leave me here. But again,

274
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: it was weird because I was seventeen and I wasn't

275
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just graduated and I wasn't going to college,

276
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: but i'd kind of I had a little bit of

277
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: a footing here after all the co writing that I'd done.

278
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: And I sure, I guess you'd been flying out for

279
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: a few years. Yes, and I had some really I

280
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: had some good people around me. And so to my parents' defense,

281
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: I feel like they felt like I was safe here

282
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: in the community that I that I had, and so

283
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: I was. I'm really grateful to have had that from

284
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: from an early start. Not that it wasn't hard, I

285
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: mean it should be hard. It was. Growth comes from

286
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: hard things, yes, I mean first year, I was like,

287
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: what have I done? Like, I don't you know? My

288
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: family's not here. I feel like I don't know anybody.

289
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: I feel like, I mean, I'm working like multiple jobs

290
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: on top of my publishing right, and it was it

291
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: was a lot whenever we talked about journeys, especially on

292
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: this podcast and your journey from songwriter to now songwriter

293
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: and performer. But again we're looking back at it now,

294
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: what would you tell that seventeen year old that's just

295
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: now she just closed the tailgate, it's loaded up, it's

296
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: about to hop in, Like, what would you tell her

297
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: if you only were somehow we got a time machine.

298
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: You go back two minutes. You only have two minutes

299
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: to talk to her. Yeah, but you can't say anything

300
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: like bet on the Chiefs to win the super Bowl.

301
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: If you can't do anything money like that. When I

302
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: no Genie wishes only advice, what would you say? That

303
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: question gave me goose bumps. I think I would just

304
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: tell her that it just gets so much better, Like

305
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: everything just so much that. Honestly, even the worst disappointments

306
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: that I've had, and I've had a lot of disappointing

307
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: things happen, it's all good. It really is all good,

308
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: and it all comes back to something better. What's funny

309
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: is I believe you. Sometimes people say that and I

310
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: don't believe it because I feel like you're saying it

311
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: because they're being interview. But I do believe that there's

312
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: something very positive about you, an unforced positivity. I think

313
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: at times I hate wake up in the morning, so

314
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: I'm forcing crap at five o'clock. By about seven thirty,

315
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: it's real again, but it's an unforced positivity. And do

316
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: you feel positive just about your career in general? Where

317
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: you're still so young again, it's crazy you're still so young.

318
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Do you feel positive about where you are now as

319
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: in contrast with what your goals are and what they

320
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: were before you moved out here. Yes, And I think

321
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: in some ways, like I said, you know, when I

322
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: got here, it's like, oh, I would have, you know,

323
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: wanted a CMA award by now. But the all of

324
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: the things that I've been through and the person that

325
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I've become through the journey is really where. I mean,

326
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm better for it. I met my husband here along

327
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: the way. I now have this beautiful daughter, and it's

328
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: like success, the definition of success for me has just

329
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: evolved over the past decade that I've been here. And

330
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: I still want all of these things in my career,

331
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: but it's like you come at it with a joy

332
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: when you're not operating out of the lack of what

333
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: you Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, you're not

334
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: pursuing it because of what you don't have. You're actually

335
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: pursuing it because you love it and also you love

336
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: what you have as well, exactly. Huh. Yeah. Do you

337
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: think I'm a better person after this interview? It's possible

338
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: that I just became a better person after talking to

339
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Sarab faith. So this year, obviously you had a baby. Yeah,

340
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: but what's I don't know how that works. Are you

341
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: writing now? When do you start writing again? Are you

342
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: going to start playing shows? I just don't know, so

343
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: what's going on? Listen. I don't know how it works either.

344
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: So we're we're rolling with it. Okay. Um, it was

345
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: perfect timing last year. I had my EP out, we

346
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: did the last single ride on time before the end

347
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: of the year. She was born at the end of October,

348
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: and then we had holidays, so it was like magical.
