Speaker 1: it's kind of terrifying, but it was fun. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to be bold. What you said bold, it's so bold,
Speaker 1: and it's your skin tone, so it's kind of how
Speaker 1: don't we described this color? I guess it's like a
Speaker 1: true red. Amanda at Lee Edwards, she's the one who
Speaker 1: was like, did it once. We kind of baby stepped
Speaker 1: me into it the first time, and then when I
Speaker 1: came back, I was like, Okay, let's do it go
Speaker 1: big or go home. Yeah, I love it. She went there.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. She's kind of obsessed with curly hair,

Speaker 1: change you. I would say this color forever. Yeah, okay, amazing.
Speaker 1: Now I just need a convertible. Yeah, yes, exactly, totally
Speaker 1: didn't at the top down exactly. Okay, So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start with a little rapid fire. Okay, So well, actually
Speaker 1: these are just some questions. So answer first thought that
Speaker 1: comes to fine. Okay, if you had a time sheen,
Speaker 1: would you go back in time or would you visit
Speaker 1: the future? And why? Where would you go? Oh? I
Speaker 1: would go back in time to the forties. I love
Speaker 1: the forties the speakeasies and the hair dues and yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of romantic because it was kind of
Speaker 1: like dangerous but like not dangerous like during prohibition and stuff.
Speaker 1: I would just love to see that. That would be amazing.
Speaker 1: Oh you would look great? Is that like flapper? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like great Gatsby, you know. Or cigarette smoking is really cool? Yes,
Speaker 1: and like the long like cane ones, you know, that
Speaker 1: would be really fun to do that Okay, love what
Speaker 1: always brings a smile to your face, Philip, he really does.
Speaker 1: You're sweet angel husband. Yeah, he's just such a good
Speaker 1: guy and sweetest and he just always believes in me.
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime I get passionate about a project or
Speaker 1: even a house project or sweet Lady Jane, he just
Speaker 1: always believes in me and takes me there and pushes
Speaker 1: me and doesn't let me like just hang myself or
Speaker 1: let me, you know, have doubt self doubt. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of amazing. It's so good. I know, sometimes I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I deserve you. You do, you
Speaker 1: know you're not. And we're gonna come back to But
Speaker 1: your husband is in a little big town and he's amazing,
Speaker 1: is amazing. And you also said sweet Lady Jane's that's
Speaker 1: your blog when you're gonna talk all about But you
Speaker 1: guys are the sweetest couple and I think people live
Speaker 1: up to their names. That's so sweet. We live. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've been married for ten years and so we just
Speaker 1: wanted to love each other forever and to be that
Speaker 1: couple to gross our grandchildren. Now, we wanted to be
Speaker 1: like on the front porch drinking dirty martinis and like
Speaker 1: making out. Making out Is that a conscious decision? Because
Speaker 1: some couples get into this thing where they start like
Speaker 1: picking at each other and they kind of keep score
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you see a couple
Speaker 1: there they're always bickering and that's not you, guys. But
Speaker 1: that was a choice. I mean, yeah, it definitely is
Speaker 1: a choice. I mean, we definitely argue, but I mean
Speaker 1: it's just the way we kind of take a break.
Speaker 1: It's our process. We learned to communicate. We always are
Speaker 1: constantly learning different ways to communicate, and even as we
Speaker 1: grow older, that changes to you know, your feelings change,
Speaker 1: and so as long as you keep in touch with
Speaker 1: each other and be best friends, then you can be
Speaker 1: that way. I still like him a lot too cool.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you are love him more now
Speaker 1: than you did ten years ago? Yes, Oh definitely, because
Speaker 1: I mean he helped me grow so much, and ten
Speaker 1: years ago I was a little more cocky, a little
Speaker 1: more obnoxious, you know, and he loved me through all that.
Speaker 1: Loved you get some wisdom, yeah, without shoving it down
Speaker 1: my throat, which was kind of amazing. He let me
Speaker 1: learn on my own terms, in my own pace. And
Speaker 1: didn't judge me for making my mistake or you know,
Speaker 1: be like you're such an idiot. He never said that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've helped him grow too. I don't know
Speaker 1: you have. That's beautiful. I think the only thing I
Speaker 1: do is helping with his technology, your tech having. I
Speaker 1: like technology a lot. I do. I do. I built
Speaker 1: a little big town an app one time years ago
Speaker 1: because I just it's fun. It's just fun to kind
Speaker 1: of look at. I don't know how to code or
Speaker 1: anything that far, but I just really enjoy that. It's
Speaker 1: that's interesting. You're like a rocket scientist. It's fascinating. Well
Speaker 1: in my former life, right right, you know, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's great. You're like a sexy rocket scientist. I
Speaker 1: like that. That's what we should be for Halloween. And
Speaker 1: you could have Philip dressed up as like a Bunsen burner,
Speaker 1: you know, exploding. That would be amazing. We do have
Speaker 1: themed Halloween's at our house every year. It's kind of
Speaker 1: hilarious when you're the first Halloween that we had our
Speaker 1: daughter Penelope, he was a big bad wolf. I was
Speaker 1: little bo peep and she was my sheep. It was
Speaker 1: really hilarious. Oh my God, she was the cutest sheep ever,
Speaker 1: little lamb, Little Lamb. Okay, so what makes you the angriest?
Speaker 1: What makes me the angriest? Sweet? Still get angry? You
Speaker 1: know what would make me angry is if you mess
Speaker 1: with my husband or my baby. Don't family, don't mess
Speaker 1: with your flock. It's just no, don't mess with my flock.
Speaker 1: I just don't like that. Like it's especially with Philip
Speaker 1: and Penalpe that they are so sweet and they I
Speaker 1: want to protect that. That I just get that makes
Speaker 1: me fired up. You know. Yeah, that would definitely push
Speaker 1: my button for sure. Yeah, Mama hand. Other than that,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty easy going. Yeah, okay, Yeah, I thought there
Speaker 1: wouldn't be much that made you angry. I just don't
Speaker 1: mess with my dude. Okay. What is one song that
Speaker 1: reminds you most of your life? Oh? Or one song
Speaker 1: to describe your life? To describe my life. That's a
Speaker 1: tough one. That's a good one. I feel like there's
Speaker 1: like a couple of you know how you feel like
Speaker 1: there's theme songs in your life. There's moments of those
Speaker 1: like there Walking in Memphis is a big song which
Speaker 1: Philip will die laughing when he hears this part why
Speaker 1: Walking in Memphis, Because well, my dad and I used
Speaker 1: to listen to that song all the time. I was
Speaker 1: born in Memphis, so but we grew up. I grew
Speaker 1: up here, and so we used to dance to that song,
Speaker 1: and you know, I just thought it was some song
Speaker 1: that my dad and I was special between us. And
Speaker 1: when Philip and I were kind of talking and you know,
Speaker 1: he was asking me out on a date, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll go out on a date with you if you
Speaker 1: can play Walking in Memphis for me. If you learn
Speaker 1: how to play that, I would go on a date.
Speaker 1: Relations He like busted it out right there. So you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: let's just walk down. Okay, let's just yeah, literally, because
Speaker 1: weren't you the intern? Didn't you tell me that y'all
Speaker 1: have like a really du story. It is a scandalous
Speaker 1: of a love story, but it's a true love story.
Speaker 1: And how did it go down? Okay? So since I
Speaker 1: grew up here in Nashville, I started Sony Music Nashville
Speaker 1: in the basement when I was fourteen, and so anything
Speaker 1: I could an intern, yeah, well I was. It was
Speaker 1: technically like part of a high school program like kind
Speaker 1: of like an internship, seeing how it goes and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But that was when Mike Krasky and Alan
Speaker 1: Butler were the heads of Sony and I went to
Speaker 1: high school with their sons, so we were all friends.
Speaker 1: And I just really wanted to be on the business
Speaker 1: side of the music industry because I loved being around
Speaker 1: creative people and passionate people. And if I was going
Speaker 1: to have to work a desk job for the rest
Speaker 1: of my life, it had to be with passionate people.
Speaker 1: Just couldn't do it anither way. So I went to college,
Speaker 1: came back home, and that's kind of when everything in
Speaker 1: Nashville was kind of up in evil and you know, um, well,
Speaker 1: Sony Music Nashville, you know, Alan and Mike and a
Speaker 1: lot of the heads like ended up losing their jobs
Speaker 1: and they were kind of not sure what was going
Speaker 1: to happen with country music, if they were going to
Speaker 1: move to New York or l A or just yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of scary for my little
Speaker 1: hometown because that's all that there was was country music,
Speaker 1: country music. They were just getting it rid of it
Speaker 1: all together, you know how they turned those tables right.
Speaker 1: It was kind of crazy. So Mike Craskey opened up
Speaker 1: an independent label called Equity Music Group. So of course
Speaker 1: I went baying on his door, and I was like,
Speaker 1: please don't have a job, Please cant have a job.
Speaker 1: You know, well, I'm going to school and all this
Speaker 1: that and the other. And I got a job working
Speaker 1: for the label and management. So I kind of got
Speaker 1: to see both sides of it all, and I really
Speaker 1: kind of help, you know, with everything, paying bills, getting contracts,
Speaker 1: driving the artists around this note the other, and every
Speaker 1: time I would see Philip, I would just get these butterflies.
Speaker 1: But I swore to myself I would never date an artist,
Speaker 1: like even when I was a teenager, like just I'm
Speaker 1: not going to do it. You know, why do people
Speaker 1: swear to them? Because I did that to myself too.
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not going to date an artist,
Speaker 1: but I secretly knew I was because they're the most
Speaker 1: creative and passionate. Yeah exactly. It's like almost like I'm
Speaker 1: not going to touch the hot stove. You know. I
Speaker 1: think we had these images that they couldn't be faithful,
Speaker 1: or they could be committed or want a family right,
Speaker 1: or how do you have a normal life and it
Speaker 1: is obtainable, you know, but it's definitely about that right guy,
Speaker 1: you know. And he would always try to like make
Speaker 1: my lunch when I was supposed to be making his lunch.
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, you're not supposed to do that.
Speaker 1: Like I am so long. I was there for a
Speaker 1: year and was flirting with you. Oh yeah anytime you
Speaker 1: saw me, like for me, and I was like booking
Speaker 1: his airline tickets and stuff like that, and I'm like, oh, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you can't be flirting with me. Donave me trouble. And
Speaker 1: um in Mike Crest he had threatened fill up too,
Speaker 1: and Jimmy and any male around me he was like daddy,
Speaker 1: you know, like don't touch her, like she's off, Like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I was a little like kind of like the daughter
Speaker 1: of the label. Like they just everybody wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure that I was safe and you know, well taken
Speaker 1: care of which I was stilling them in. Um the
Speaker 1: long story short, they little Big Towns tour manager at
Speaker 1: the time called me and asked me to bring a
Speaker 1: snake from Nashville to Memphis, like a snake the like
Speaker 1: the snake that um it connects the stage. I was
Speaker 1: like yeah, sorry, and nothing's too far out right, what
Speaker 1: kind of a snake instead of a cake? A little
Speaker 1: Britney spears action. I mean, I could happen. Karen might
Speaker 1: have to take his anex holding his snake. But right,
Speaker 1: but anyway, so it's a piece of gear that connects everything,
Speaker 1: you know, on the stage to the front of house
Speaker 1: and out to the audience. So I was like sure.
Speaker 1: You know, at the time, I'm trying to pay my
Speaker 1: bills and they offered me money to do it, so
Speaker 1: I was like okay. But the whole way there, I'm
Speaker 1: like calling all my girlfriends and like, I know he's
Speaker 1: going to be there, and I know he's going to
Speaker 1: dry and flirt with me. And I remember I had
Speaker 1: texted him something and he never responded, like a funny joke,
Speaker 1: he never responded. So I was like, Okay, he probably
Speaker 1: thinks he's so much cooler than I am, so forget him, right,
Speaker 1: And I get there and I'm sitting on his bus
Speaker 1: and I'm like see him on like the bus monitor camera,
Speaker 1: like walking to the bus and I just grab a
Speaker 1: newspaper and I'm like, m like so interested in what
Speaker 1: this paper has. Amazing, So what you were like what
Speaker 1: you do about all about the news? Right then? Like
Speaker 1: you didn't even see him come in. You're too busy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm too busy. And so he comes up and he
Speaker 1: actually like, I'm so sorry I didn't respond to your text.
Speaker 1: And I was like, crap, he caught my bluff, you know,
Speaker 1: like like he's gonna he's not trying to play games. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was not trying to play games. And so towards
Speaker 1: the end of the night came and I had to
Speaker 1: drive back to Nashville and he was like, you can't
Speaker 1: drive home by yourself. And I was like, I drove
Speaker 1: here by myself. I'm a big girl. It's not that far,
Speaker 1: you know, I can handle it. And he's like, well,
Speaker 1: why don't I just ride with you? And I'm like, okay, sure,
Speaker 1: are you like dying inside dying body? Butterfly? Now it's
Speaker 1: probably more than butterflies. Now, that's nerves, like intense, Like
Speaker 1: I'm like, is my face red? Like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: don't fall, don't fall, you know, And also like that's
Speaker 1: a long time with just someone in a car, like
Speaker 1: a lot of communicating that's going to happen here, right
Speaker 1: And I'm like and I'm working for the label still.
Speaker 1: It was just all sorts of So then he pulls
Speaker 1: his bag to my car and he gets in, and
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a good line, you know.
Speaker 1: I was like ready for it. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I just want to let you know. If you think
Speaker 1: that I'm that kind of a girl, you need to
Speaker 1: get back on your artist bus and we can forget
Speaker 1: this even happen. And I appreciate you. You're concerned, you know,
Speaker 1: so you just put it out there. Yeah, and he
Speaker 1: passed that I trying to hook up with you? Yeah right,
Speaker 1: and yeah, have you fats me on the shoulder and
Speaker 1: he goes, well, I'm glad you got that out of
Speaker 1: the way. Oh my god. So he's just been super
Speaker 1: cool from the startper cool from the start. And then
Speaker 1: literally I'm glad you got that out of the way.
Speaker 1: It was just okay. And then two months from then
Speaker 1: we were engaged. A year later we were married. And
Speaker 1: then so you'll make out on that car, right, Yeah
Speaker 1: we kind of did. Yeah, totally totally. But it definitely
Speaker 1: made me breakfast too. It was really so like a
Speaker 1: makeout shack out. It was like he was really sweet
Speaker 1: because we got there so I ended up being hey,
Speaker 1: but you're telling it. It's all about the way it's presented, right,
Speaker 1: Because I also said I would never marry an artist,
Speaker 1: and I did that, right, So you know, I guess
Speaker 1: I should stop saying I'm not going to do it,
Speaker 1: because then usually I did it. Yeah, because it's really
Speaker 1: in your heart what you wanted to do, right, But
Speaker 1: you just want to be respected and you want to
Speaker 1: be well treated, right. And I was giving up a
Speaker 1: lot like dating him too, because then I would never
Speaker 1: be taking seriously in the industry. Again. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be that girl either that you know, dated a
Speaker 1: bunch of artists or like I really and I was
Speaker 1: kind of looking for something to put my life my
Speaker 1: future together, like kind of over dating casually and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. But I was also okay with being by
Speaker 1: myself to know that's when it happens. Because I was
Speaker 1: even ready to like never get married, you know. So
Speaker 1: I even told Philip that, like in that first month
Speaker 1: of dating, I was like, I don't really I'm not
Speaker 1: really interested in getting married, and you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like I can have a great life being me and
Speaker 1: having a partner and not have to do that kind
Speaker 1: of a thing, and and then later on I was like,
Speaker 1: of course I told the one guy that I actually
Speaker 1: want to marry that I don't want to get married.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we always do though, especially when
Speaker 1: you're in your twenties, you know, and you're trying to
Speaker 1: be like cool, this is who I am. Cool, Like
Speaker 1: you're not going to like take a measure to me
Speaker 1: and just letting you know I'm an adult adult. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I make the rules. Oh what is that? A
Speaker 1: pretty woman? And I say who I? I say that.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's just I'm a walking contradiction, I guess
Speaker 1: with But yeah, oh my gosh. I wouldn't change it
Speaker 1: for the world. And you know, I have to play
Speaker 1: hard to get right. He can't just have everything right.
Speaker 1: He can't be sweet and adorable and charming charming. Yeah right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: How has it been being married married to a musician?
Speaker 1: Has that worked out for you? Oh? I love it.
Speaker 1: I mean my house is always full of music, and
Speaker 1: it inspires my daughter to be in the arts and creative,
Speaker 1: and I just it's enjoyable. It's fun to watch because
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily the art, you know, into music musician
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But you are very creative, But I'm
Speaker 1: very creative. I'm just more in a different way. And
Speaker 1: I just love hearing him play different instruments and I
Speaker 1: think it's really cool. Sometimes on stage he's literally is
Speaker 1: playing the guitar and playing the piano at the same time.
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you do that? How is that possible?
Speaker 1: He plays with his years up here in this hand
Speaker 1: on the piano. It's crazy. I have that kind of
Speaker 1: He's a freaky anomaly anything. He'll grocer out his gray hairs,
Speaker 1: even growing blonde. It's really obnoxious. So we've been looking
Speaker 1: for the perfect specimen and we found him. It's your husband,
Speaker 1: but I think it's both of you. Guys. It's okay.
Speaker 1: So if you're a superhero, what powers would you have? Oh,
Speaker 1: if I was a superhero, I would I guess to
Speaker 1: change somebody's heart, Like, you know, there's so much gosh, Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to drop the mic on that one, of course,
Speaker 1: I mean, you are the sweetest person. Well, there's so
Speaker 1: much like going on in the world, and not to
Speaker 1: bring it to the depressing point, but it's like, just
Speaker 1: if you could literally just touch somebody and change their
Speaker 1: mindset about the world, that would be a cool superpower
Speaker 1: because then we wouldn't have all this hate going on.
Speaker 1: You know, why do you think all this hate is
Speaker 1: going on? I think it's a miscommunication. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: think unfortunately, you know, I love social media, but there
Speaker 1: are some downsides to it. And sometimes what it is
Speaker 1: is that people don't take responsibility for the things that
Speaker 1: they put out there, and they think, oh, well, it's
Speaker 1: just my opinion. I can say whatever I want to. Well,
Speaker 1: people listen to your opinions when you put it out there,
Speaker 1: whether it's right or wrong. And I think teaching that
Speaker 1: social responsibility to people, it's just spreads like why wild
Speaker 1: thought fire, you know, and everybody likes a little drama
Speaker 1: and controversy, and but it's snowballs. It's snowballs and people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate, but I think it's important to just start
Speaker 1: talking about it and that it isn't against all of us.
Speaker 1: We're all in it together, you know. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: we've got to do something about it. Yeah, in like
Speaker 1: fifty years where they won't be like a white European
Speaker 1: person genetically, you know what I mean, Like we'll just
Speaker 1: all be a big blend of people. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: so criss cross, so we'll I'll just be a bunch
Speaker 1: of MUDs, which I love mutton. They have a lot
Speaker 1: less health problem, like more adapted. It's the way nature intended,
Speaker 1: if you think about it. I agree. You don't see
Speaker 1: other animals asking each other about their genetic backgrounds exactly.
Speaker 1: I love that great superpower. Thanks. Okay, And if you
Speaker 1: could choose one celebrity to trade lives with, who would
Speaker 1: it be? And why? Oh let's see, maybe just for
Speaker 1: a day, maybe not permanently. Love her. She's the best
Speaker 1: legs everybody And every time I see or do a
Speaker 1: photo shoot or anything on Instagram, I'm like, I would
Speaker 1: love to spend a day in your life. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: just one. Yeah. What would it be like to be
Speaker 1: a supermodel? I know, right, Yeah, that would That's always
Speaker 1: fascinating to me. I would want to be a fly
Speaker 1: on the wall, even like backstage and hear what they
Speaker 1: talk about and they're all there's just all of them,
Speaker 1: you know, just like this heard of like the most
Speaker 1: gorgeous women, these legs and they just hang out together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of incredible, it is, And I would just
Speaker 1: want to like try on one of the clothes, even
Speaker 1: though it wouldn't be able to fit into it. But well,
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're class for the day, it will
Speaker 1: fit like a love. But you are smoking, so I
Speaker 1: love your body. I'm smoking in my own way right exactly.
Speaker 1: You got your own thing going make you okay. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to get into this now. We've talked about
Speaker 1: how you are in Nashville Native. How did you decide
Speaker 1: that you wanted to stay? Did you always know you
Speaker 1: wanted to be in Nashville because you're like an O G.
Speaker 1: I mean, people call me the unicorn. It's kind of funny. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's not many like original Nashville Native people. You know.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is when we were growing up, there
Speaker 1: wasn't a whole lot here. I mean, we didn't have
Speaker 1: a professional football team. We didn't even have a professional
Speaker 1: team at all. Are you kidding? No? I think I
Speaker 1: always joke make a joke that we had wrestling like
Speaker 1: on Friday nights and they had midget wrestling even and
Speaker 1: like that was like the big hype to do or
Speaker 1: drive down Second Avenue. And that's when Second Avenue was
Speaker 1: two lanes, like one going one way and one going
Speaker 1: the other. Wow, and it has exploded. That whole part
Speaker 1: of Nashville's exploded. Yeah, it's unbelievable. I mean it used
Speaker 1: to be this little town of nowhere because Atlanta was
Speaker 1: so big that if you were going to go in
Speaker 1: the South, you would go to Atlanta. I'm not Nashville.
Speaker 1: How did Nashville blow up? I think it just kind
Speaker 1: of I think country music definitely helped Nashville blow up.
Speaker 1: I mean it has always been the heart of this town,
Speaker 1: and I mean the people were, you know, supported by
Speaker 1: that industry, and so when the Dixie Chicks came out,
Speaker 1: Faith Hill and Tim McGraw and those you know records,
Speaker 1: really yeah, it kind of blew it out of the water.
Speaker 1: I mean, Tim and Faith are such a gorgeous human beings,
Speaker 1: and the Dixie Chicks were just, you know, you've never
Speaker 1: heard of a girl band harmonizing at that time, and
Speaker 1: they were just selling big numbers like pop. So it
Speaker 1: kind of changed that perception. And then the show Nashville,
Speaker 1: I think, really helped to show that it's not just
Speaker 1: like an but it's not but it's not at all. Know,
Speaker 1: but we all used to tease that we want to
Speaker 1: get out of the small town and be like, I'm
Speaker 1: never going to live in Nashville. My parents live here,
Speaker 1: you know, And then you go away to college and
Speaker 1: you realize what a cool and special place this is.
Speaker 1: There's just something about so special you, just the people,
Speaker 1: even the people who move here and lived here for
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years. It's just it's contagious. The I
Speaker 1: guess what do you call it? The aura or the age?
Speaker 1: You know? I feel that same way. Yeah, it's welcoming.
Speaker 1: Everybody's always welcomed, and you can say hey or yeah,
Speaker 1: sit down at a bar and make a new friend.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's a competitive town. I feel
Speaker 1: like people compete with themselves and everyone here is a
Speaker 1: dreamer and everyone here is trying to accomplish these awesome passions.
Speaker 1: But it's never like I want to win and with
Speaker 1: this person to love. Ever, I don't get that vibe
Speaker 1: at all. No, I don't either, And honestly, like it
Speaker 1: was kind of shocking when I've gone to other wordships
Speaker 1: with Philip that weren't country music based, and just to
Speaker 1: see the drama and how so and so's dressing room
Speaker 1: can't be next to so and so and and in
Speaker 1: country music, I feel like we're all just happy to
Speaker 1: be in wonder seeing room because we're all in they're
Speaker 1: drinking together anyways, so exactly, you know, and it's a
Speaker 1: big family and everybody's cheering each other on. And I
Speaker 1: think that's so important for a community of music, you know,
Speaker 1: an artist, to just have that support group. And it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I love it. So let's talk about
Speaker 1: your blog, Okay, sweet lady Jane, yes to tell me
Speaker 1: what that name, the origin is, where it came from,
Speaker 1: and tell me about the blog I stopped your blog.
Speaker 1: I love it. There's so many amazing things in there's
Speaker 1: so many amazing recipes to thank you. Yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: realize how like farm to table you were, and how
Speaker 1: like you love this one little place to get your
Speaker 1: own vegetables. Talk to me about your heart and it
Speaker 1: started um with kind of conquering an issue of fear. Um,
Speaker 1: So Philip actually figured out that I'm dyslexic. How did
Speaker 1: you figure this out? And tell me what it's like
Speaker 1: living with dyslexia when you have no idea that you
Speaker 1: have it. It was incredibly hard. Um. Growing up, I
Speaker 1: knew that we all, my whole family did and my
Speaker 1: mom did, especially she's a teacher, and you know, she
Speaker 1: did the best she could help me. But dyslexy is
Speaker 1: really something that one in five people have, and every
Speaker 1: dyslexic dyslexic is different. So I don't see letters backwards.
Speaker 1: I like flip when I'm writing. I have to be
Speaker 1: aware of how I flip the sentence. So like an example,
Speaker 1: so like you know you have like the beginning of
Speaker 1: a sentence and then comma the end of the senence,
Speaker 1: Like I'm Rebecca Sweet and my blog is banging, so yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be like I would flip it. I would
Speaker 1: be like my blog is like I sometimes just flip that,
Speaker 1: or I omit words that don't have visuals like the A.
Speaker 1: So everything is a picture for you. Everything is tied
Speaker 1: to a sensory. So when I read, I have to
Speaker 1: have it read to me and I have to be
Speaker 1: touching the book for me to really comprehend it and
Speaker 1: not have to sit there for thirty minutes on the
Speaker 1: same paragraph, like really struggling with it. Yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of I'm exploring it a lot, but figured it out.
Speaker 1: He actually this is how gentle he was about it too.
Speaker 1: Um he found a documentary that Richard Branson and Charles
Speaker 1: Schwabs did called Rethinking Dyslexia, and he's like, this looks
Speaker 1: really cool, and Richard Branson's in it, let's like check
Speaker 1: it out. I literally bawled through the whole thing and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not crazy. This is exactly how
Speaker 1: I feel. He just knew. I think he just knew.
Speaker 1: He's just so intuitive. And when I would ask him
Speaker 1: to spell things like phonics don't make sense to me
Speaker 1: at all, Like to me, it's my logic kicks in
Speaker 1: and A sounds like an A like not at all,
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't compute with me at all, So sounding
Speaker 1: words out, none of that makes sense to me. So
Speaker 1: writing a blog would be very hard. Then if you
Speaker 1: have a hard time with senate structure and like, how
Speaker 1: did you? How do you do it? So I have
Speaker 1: to be a little patient with myself. Um. I definitely
Speaker 1: have a journal that I carry around a lot that
Speaker 1: if you looked at it probably looks like foreign language
Speaker 1: because it's just scribbles. And then I take that and
Speaker 1: I write. And I also have this app of my
Speaker 1: commuter called grammatically, and it shows me what is wrong
Speaker 1: with the sentence and why so I'm actually like kind
Speaker 1: of having to relearn how to the English language because
Speaker 1: now I'm aware that I'm dyslexic, so now I know
Speaker 1: how I learned, So now I have to go back
Speaker 1: and put those fundamentals into my brain. It's kind of intense,
Speaker 1: but it's it feels good, like because I'm not scared
Speaker 1: anymore and writing such a big scared Yeah did you
Speaker 1: were you? Nervous with words? Nervous with words? Um? I
Speaker 1: have seven years of college and no degree because I
Speaker 1: would just get so frustrated with school because no teacher
Speaker 1: could help diagnose you. I mean my English teacher and Auburn.
Speaker 1: The whole reason why I left Auburn University was because
Speaker 1: I was in English class really trying like my best,
Speaker 1: going to the writing lab. I've never missed a class.
Speaker 1: I mean even if I was sick, I would still
Speaker 1: be there because she gave quizzes, so I needed all
Speaker 1: the points I could possibly get, knowing that my grade
Speaker 1: heavily dependent on the paper at the end of the semester. Well,
Speaker 1: had my mom helped me. She has an English master's
Speaker 1: you know, like proof read it and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: And my mom when she would proof read it. She
Speaker 1: would never like fix it for me. She would do
Speaker 1: the same thing like grammatically does, like take a little
Speaker 1: comment note and explained to me that it was wrong,
Speaker 1: but not fix it. So my teacher had a program
Speaker 1: that could see all that. Well, she tries to turn
Speaker 1: me in for plagiarism and I'm trying, like how frustrating?
Speaker 1: Is this so frustrating? And I got a hundred on
Speaker 1: all my quizzes. I mean technically before that paper, I
Speaker 1: had an a failed. You gave me a c wow.
Speaker 1: And that's probably really traumatizing too, because you're trying your
Speaker 1: hardest and then all of a sudden, it's like I
Speaker 1: don't know what to do. And if I'm putting all
Speaker 1: this effort into it, is this how my life is
Speaker 1: going to be? Like if I put this much effort
Speaker 1: and I'm I know, I'm doing my best, but it's
Speaker 1: not your best, it's my best. It's defeating, so defeating.
Speaker 1: It just was I didn't think I could ever conquer it.
Speaker 1: I never thought I would ever be a writer, but
Speaker 1: I always wanted you to be a writer. Writer. Yeah, gosh,
Speaker 1: that next you want to cry? I love And it's
Speaker 1: like so freeing. It's like getting to the top of
Speaker 1: that mountain and still seeing another mountain, but you're like, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna climb that mountain to you, you know, And
Speaker 1: what an inspiration to your daughter show. I mean, I
Speaker 1: get so emotional I hit thirty and everything. I'm like,
Speaker 1: there's like a puppy, like a Sarah McLachlin puppy commercional like, well,
Speaker 1: it's like it's so inspiring to see people take things
Speaker 1: that are feeling impossible and conquer him. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: such a great thing for Penalpi and I too, because
Speaker 1: I like about her and I just relationship is. I'm
Speaker 1: the mom that admits that I have flaws to her.
Speaker 1: I tell her that I made that I'm telling you
Speaker 1: not to do it because I made that mistake, or
Speaker 1: I'm telling you to pay attention to this because I
Speaker 1: wasn't aware of it. You know, like I really try
Speaker 1: to help her under stand that. It's not just because
Speaker 1: I'm mom. Yeah, I'm trying to show her how the
Speaker 1: world works, and that is my job and to protect
Speaker 1: her and to keep her safe because when she's eighteen,
Speaker 1: ye on your own, you know, like Mama can't save you.
Speaker 1: Has she received this parenting. Does she understand, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: she feels like I respect her because I do respect her,
Speaker 1: and so it kind of helps that mutual respect. And
Speaker 1: you know, I mean she's still sassy to me, but
Speaker 1: that you treat her like a human, treating her down
Speaker 1: to Yeah, because I couldn't stand that when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, and I think a lot of parents it's
Speaker 1: easy to say that because it's hard. It is frustrating
Speaker 1: in those moments when they're not doing what you're saying
Speaker 1: or asking and they're like why why, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I guess I sets up, you know, like you have
Speaker 1: to take the time, you have to breathe, take a
Speaker 1: step back. I mean, kids do push your buttons. They're
Speaker 1: supposed to push your boundaries to you know. So it's good,
Speaker 1: it's good. I like our relationship. She's my little buddy.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. She's a little crazy pants sometimes for sure.
Speaker 1: Well you gotta have a little crazy right. Okay, So
Speaker 1: let's talk about this little homestead place that you go
Speaker 1: to where you do a lot of your food blogs,
Speaker 1: because I love that you are also intentional with food,
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't surprise me because you're an intentional person.
Speaker 1: But I do love food and everything you make it
Speaker 1: seems like it's like coming from nature, like whole products. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely try to do. I think it's super important
Speaker 1: to use the healthiest option. I mean, even when you're
Speaker 1: making a sweet, you still want it to be healthy
Speaker 1: because cancer so rampant, and there's so many you know,
Speaker 1: philosophies out there why or what but and all of that.
Speaker 1: But beyond that for me, is it really does taste better.
Speaker 1: You have kind of to train yourself if you don't
Speaker 1: grow up healthy and whole. It's a new You have
Speaker 1: to train your tastes fresh. Yeah, it's interesting and then um.
Speaker 1: Philip was also a big inspiration about food because he
Speaker 1: grew up on welfare. So he grew up on a
Speaker 1: welfare He grew up on a wellfair girl. Are you
Speaker 1: serious of the American dream? He is the American dream,
Speaker 1: single parent, household, five children. How did he get here?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I keep telling Laurie McKenna that he
Speaker 1: needs to She needs to write a song called I
Speaker 1: shouldn't be here with him, because it is it. He
Speaker 1: technically statistically should not be where he's at, that positive
Speaker 1: inspired person. His mom had a theater in Arkansas, and
Speaker 1: he would play music and he can. I mean he
Speaker 1: can read music, but he can't. I can read music
Speaker 1: better than he can. Yeah, totally by your He he
Speaker 1: won't admit this, but I think he has perfect pitch.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. He's like a savant superhuman. He's a savant superhuman,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't It's like he doesn't know it. It's
Speaker 1: really weird. Well, and that's the thing too, Like you
Speaker 1: guys are a celebrity power couple. Honestly, you are so sweet,
Speaker 1: but no one would know because the way you guys
Speaker 1: interact with people is so well, humble and kind. Just
Speaker 1: like said, I love that song too. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I think our philosophy has always been, um, we want
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable in our skin, and if that's empowering
Speaker 1: to somebody or make somebody else feel good, then that's
Speaker 1: kind of like the point. You know, it just feels
Speaker 1: good to be together, and it feels good to be me,
Speaker 1: and it feels good to be him. So when that
Speaker 1: kind of unites, it just oh man, we're just trying
Speaker 1: to get ahead, you know, you're just trying to do
Speaker 1: your deal. We're just trying to get to the point
Speaker 1: where we're staying in rocking chairs with dirty martinis, grossing
Speaker 1: our grandchildren out. That's just like the ultimate goal and
Speaker 1: just have a great, beautiful life together. It's interested in food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's super picky about food, which he has every right
Speaker 1: to be picky about food. And he like healthy food,
Speaker 1: loves healthy food, he loves any food. I mean, he
Speaker 1: really is a foodie, an authentic foodie. He it will
Speaker 1: ruin his day if you have a better dish than
Speaker 1: he does, like kind of a thing so to happen
Speaker 1: and you have a better dish, oh, he pounds. It's
Speaker 1: really sad. You have to share it with him. You
Speaker 1: just like dish and he thinks you've got a good one,
Speaker 1: and then if it's not good, he'll be super sad,
Speaker 1: super sad. No, it's like it's kind of sad and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh honey, it's okay, order it, you know,
Speaker 1: or he'll order, you know, several appetizers just because he
Speaker 1: wants to try umph. You know. Like I will say,
Speaker 1: Michael's kind of like that, my husband. He loves he
Speaker 1: wants it all because he just doesn't want to miss
Speaker 1: something that could be right. Maybe that's a musician thing
Speaker 1: because they travel so much and they're in that restaurant
Speaker 1: in that moment. Yeahs interesting, Maybe that's what it is.
Speaker 1: And I also wanted to Penelope to know, um where
Speaker 1: her food came from. I thought, I think that's really important,
Speaker 1: you know, to teach our kids. It's a lot. It's
Speaker 1: kind of a dying thing, this farming, and it's unfortunate.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody thinks in airloom tomatoes should look perfect,
Speaker 1: and they don't. You know, like you cut that spot
Speaker 1: off and eat around it, you know. Or so farmer
Speaker 1: Stephen out there and then Nina who works out there,
Speaker 1: they have just been so inspiring. It's that same thing
Speaker 1: and being around passionate people. They're passionate about what they
Speaker 1: do and there's a science behind it all, and but
Speaker 1: it looks so effortless, Like there's a field of wildflowers
Speaker 1: just to keep the weeds down, and you're like, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I would have never thought to plant wildflowers to keep
Speaker 1: weeds up. I bet you're going to have one of
Speaker 1: these one day, huh. I kind of want one really bad.
Speaker 1: It's kind of my therapy. I got that vibe when
Speaker 1: I was like stalking a hardcore I was like, this
Speaker 1: is where you are, like in your happy place. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like your you love nature and look connecting with your
Speaker 1: hands in the dirt. Yeah, And I think it's that
Speaker 1: and being around somebody who's passionate about it. So because
Speaker 1: I learned something new and I can teach that to Penelope,
Speaker 1: And it's just fun to see them and all of
Speaker 1: us get out there together and get our hands dirty.
Speaker 1: Especially the first time they ever met me. They were
Speaker 1: kind of like, she's not gonna get her hands dirty,
Speaker 1: like no way, And I was like, Okay, what are
Speaker 1: we doing? And so they put me in the chicken
Speaker 1: coop and we cleaned it out. They literally thought I
Speaker 1: was not going to touch any of the chickens or
Speaker 1: any of the poop or anything like that. How do
Speaker 1: you find this place? Um? This is funny, So since
Speaker 1: I grew up here. Um the gentleman who owns it Andy,
Speaker 1: he also owns Puckets. Oh Cool, one of the coolest
Speaker 1: local joints in Amazing. Yeah. Every Sunday when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, we used to go out to Leaper's Fork
Speaker 1: and get a cheeseburger. It's so fun out there, so
Speaker 1: fun out there, Franklin, that whole area. Leb's Fork is
Speaker 1: like out of a movie. It's seriously and everybody's just
Speaker 1: so sweet and down home, and you know there's a
Speaker 1: guy in overalls and a John Deer hat in every corner.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just really special place. And so they
Speaker 1: got opened or acquired at the mansion I think several
Speaker 1: years ago, and then opened up homestead manner, and then
Speaker 1: the farm. It's still new, but it definitely supports the kitchen.
Speaker 1: But then they have other farms kind of help get
Speaker 1: a little bit more beefed up. But can you like
Speaker 1: buy vegetables from there? Yeah, they have a farmer's market
Speaker 1: every Wednesday. They even have mimosas, have a mimosa bar.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's so amazing. And um, do you like
Speaker 1: to Molly's Love to Molly Homemade Real to Molly's. This
Speaker 1: guy he has four huge pots and sometimes six, he'll
Speaker 1: make two extra ones and they sell it like that.
Speaker 1: They're so good and they're like in the husk and
Speaker 1: everything and the restaurant husk. Yeah, in the corn husky. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. This makes me want to move out this
Speaker 1: direction towards, like you know, because like that whole area,
Speaker 1: it is very more like farm to table I feel like,
Speaker 1: very local, which I love. And they're just the people
Speaker 1: who are there just amazing, Like Rory Jury and Rory
Speaker 1: they used to go there all the time and he
Speaker 1: still goes out there with their little girl and he's
Speaker 1: such a ray of sunshine. You've seen him, Yes, Joey
Speaker 1: and Rory for everyone listening, they are the most beautiful,
Speaker 1: inspiring love story ever ever. Rory is the husband and
Speaker 1: he's been his wife. Joey passed answer, Yeah, a horrible
Speaker 1: battle of cancer and he documented it and there's a
Speaker 1: movie coming out about it right Yeah. And I think
Speaker 1: he's writing a book too. And he has such a
Speaker 1: light about him. I can't explain it, but if you
Speaker 1: ever see him in person, there's just like it's like
Speaker 1: looking at an angel. There's just such a little glow
Speaker 1: about him. And the way he talks about her and
Speaker 1: his journey, it's like his journey is not over and
Speaker 1: he wants to tell their story and hopefully find a cure.
Speaker 1: But even better than that, I think he wants to
Speaker 1: just help somebody feel better about if they're going through it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's he's just a special person to have
Speaker 1: the ability to have that kind of like wisdom and
Speaker 1: knowingness when you're in that kind of pain, Like his
Speaker 1: faith is strong, strong, because I'd be pretty angry, pretty
Speaker 1: devastated to think you have to go the rest of
Speaker 1: your life without your soul mate, especially when you have
Speaker 1: a beautiful baby and you know that baby is going
Speaker 1: to ask questions later and to have to relive that
Speaker 1: would be I think the most difficult thing to do,
Speaker 1: you know. But he's amazing, so he's up there too.
Speaker 1: And then you know the little moms that have canning
Speaker 1: stuff and then you can get your meat up there.
Speaker 1: They even have bison. How great. So you're just eating
Speaker 1: like the most natural no hormone, no hormone. So what
Speaker 1: do you like to cook? Like when you do your blogs,
Speaker 1: how do you decide what you want to cook? Have
Speaker 1: you always grown up cooking? And you also do cocktails? Yes,
Speaker 1: because well I come from a Portuguese Irish family, so
Speaker 1: we love get togethers and they always involve cocktails, and
Speaker 1: you have to Yeah, it's just it's just the way
Speaker 1: it was. We didn't necessarily like cook all the time,
Speaker 1: like during the week, because my parents both worked jobs.
Speaker 1: Sometimes my mom had two or three jobs, Like, they
Speaker 1: just worked really hard for my brother and I to
Speaker 1: have a very comfortable life and we definitely did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're really great people. What a blessing to have parents
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, it's super was And so my dad,
Speaker 1: he definitely is the party guy. And you know, so
Speaker 1: he would plan these nights of cooking, like especially Chinese,
Speaker 1: so he loves Chinese Chinese. He makes the best eggirls ever.
Speaker 1: I wrote about it on the blog and the recipes
Speaker 1: up there. It's so good. They're like little burritos. They're amazing.
Speaker 1: And he just would have such a fun time. And
Speaker 1: those are fond memories growing up of trying a new
Speaker 1: recipe and just kind of see what happens or what's
Speaker 1: in there. Such a unifying thing. Yeah, and if you like,
Speaker 1: if you're angry and you cook, it's gonna taste angry. Really, yes,
Speaker 1: I'm telling me about this. It's really weird, Philip actually
Speaker 1: kind of because you know, one time I came home
Speaker 1: and I was just frustrated and traffic was bad, and
Speaker 1: you know, and I was trying to rush and it
Speaker 1: was school night and trying to hurry herr Harry, and
Speaker 1: felt was like stop or if it's gonna taste like that.
Speaker 1: And it's the truth. If you think about it, anything
Speaker 1: you touch, you know, there's a reaction to it, right,
Speaker 1: like wow. Yeah, so that's why they say put your
Speaker 1: love into it and like you can taste the love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's true. It's really true. Actually, I thought a lot
Speaker 1: about how energy affects everything, but I have never thought
Speaker 1: about it in cooking. Yeah, it definitely does. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: if you love what you're doing, people are going to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I love this, and you can taste
Speaker 1: the love. You can taste it, you know, and it
Speaker 1: makes you feel good. That's soul food, yeah, exactly, because
Speaker 1: like if someone that you love has made this food,
Speaker 1: you know that and that that sounds like a moment
Speaker 1: for me, right yeah. See, and it's amazing. And I
Speaker 1: really wanted to learn how to cook too for Philip,
Speaker 1: like since he you know, I didn't have to worry
Speaker 1: about food. I mean, I could eat whatever I wanted
Speaker 1: to when I was growing up, and even when we
Speaker 1: went to the grocery store, it was not a problem.
Speaker 1: If you wanted to box the lucky charms, you had
Speaker 1: a box of lucky charms, you know, And he didn't
Speaker 1: have that same luxury. So I really wanted him to
Speaker 1: be able to come home and have his wife cook
Speaker 1: him a nice meal. It's like a love language, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's a way to be like I love you
Speaker 1: or you you know, like I just love all the
Speaker 1: love you guys have in your life. It's it's important
Speaker 1: feel it, like I have. I wanted to cry like
Speaker 1: three times. I'm talking about so sweet because there's so
Speaker 1: much love that radiates not just from you, but the
Speaker 1: family all create the way you are expressing yourself through
Speaker 1: your blogs, music, like, there's so much it's important to us.
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like you radiate that constantly. It's
Speaker 1: I mean, it's what started our relationship. I mean everybody
Speaker 1: thought we were probably crazy when we first started dating,
Speaker 1: because you know, he was an artist, and there's an
Speaker 1: age difference and this that and the other, and he
Speaker 1: was so much further in his career and I wasn't.
Speaker 1: And but you know what, we overcame all those odds
Speaker 1: because we loved each other. And you know, I even
Speaker 1: had several friends when we first got married, like you know,
Speaker 1: what if this doesn't last, and I'm like, well, it
Speaker 1: would be worth the years that I'm with him, like
Speaker 1: it just was worth the gamble to me. So you know,
Speaker 1: it's faced off of love. That's just what it continues
Speaker 1: to be. And that's what I want. That's what I
Speaker 1: want for Penalpi to. I want her to find that
Speaker 1: one guy that loves her and treats her the way
Speaker 1: that Philip treats me. And she has that example, and
Speaker 1: I had that example with my dad. My dad loves
Speaker 1: and so does my mom. But I'm a daddy's girl.
Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, Mom, Okay, So back to cooking. Dad cooked.
Speaker 1: You love the kitchen cocktails like so you just have
Speaker 1: always loved the experience of cooking and sharing meals and
Speaker 1: joy yeah around it all. And then that's actually like
Speaker 1: kind of ties to Sweet Lady Jane. So my last
Speaker 1: name is sweet and then lady I just got and
Speaker 1: when I spell it with an eye, I know, Okay,
Speaker 1: I love the I so like a little flair. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: Penelpi's name spelled with an eye, so it's pny yell
Speaker 1: o p i instead of an ee. It's the Greek
Speaker 1: way and um, there's also a bakery called Sweet Lady
Speaker 1: Jane in l A that took the y so I
Speaker 1: went with I yeah, but you know I like it.
Speaker 1: It's bold, yeah exactly, that's how you are. Thank you.
Speaker 1: And then Jane, Um, I'm the only girl in six
Speaker 1: generations to be born and my dad's out of the
Speaker 1: family until my little cousin, Mackenzie, who is um let's see,
Speaker 1: she just turned thirteen, so she's my little baby. I
Speaker 1: love her. Um. So she's Mackenzie Jane, and then Penelope Jane,
Speaker 1: and then my grandmother's Betty Jane. And then so it's
Speaker 1: just the middle name, you know, and it comes with

Speaker 1: this a great idea. Yeah. I always need ideas for gifts.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's kind of fun. It's just fun
Speaker 1: to go out and shop and you know, even on
Speaker 1: the road, I like to do it and hold on
Speaker 1: to it or you know, especially antiques. I love antiques.
Speaker 1: I have an obsession with that. Yes, I love it.
Speaker 1: I would City Farmhouse UM is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: places to go. They have a pop up shop to

Speaker 1: storefront in the factory. Her name's Kim and turned her husband.
Speaker 1: She finds these incredible pieces that you just wouldn't even
Speaker 1: believe she's impressive. And then um, twice a year she
Speaker 1: has pop up shops where all these other antique places
Speaker 1: from around the country come and how fun. It's super fun.
Speaker 1: To let me know when this comes to town. It's
Speaker 1: an October. You can have to come with me, Okay, right,
Speaker 1: I would love to come. It's super fun, so fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're a block. Focus is on food travel because
Speaker 1: you travel with a little big town a lot, yep,
Speaker 1: which and that's awesome. And Penelo becomes then all the
Speaker 1: kids come, Yeah, we all all you'all have kids, yes,
Speaker 1: you know, thankfully I got a great husband. But he
Speaker 1: also has really wonderful bandmates. They all get along, right, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's just so crazy. That's hard to think that four
Speaker 1: people can get along, and they really do. They really do.
Speaker 1: I mean they really work together, and they really are
Speaker 1: very loyal to the four of them. I mean, like
Speaker 1: they talk and they made the commitment to each other
Speaker 1: about family and how important that was for them, and
Speaker 1: they want a families on the road. Yeah. Yeah, Karen's
Speaker 1: Kiki and Kimberly's Burly or Kim or you know, like
Speaker 1: in the Penelope was bob Bops, which came from Daisy,
Speaker 1: which is Kimberly's little girl. They kind of raises like cousins.
Speaker 1: They act like siblings a lot um. Daisy definitely takes
Speaker 1: on the role of Elvis, and i'll Be takes on
Speaker 1: middle and Elijah is definitely the baby boy. There's three kids,
Speaker 1: so you all just have one, but it's almost like
Speaker 1: no one's an only child. It's the best of both worlds.
Speaker 1: On the road they have siblings and then at home
Speaker 1: they get to be the only kid. It's kind of incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like, I want to be I want
Speaker 1: to be you want to be you. Life is so
Speaker 1: but you know what, you guys have gone with the
Speaker 1: flow of your life, Like I feel, there's no resistance,
Speaker 1: like you guys embrace it all you have to. I mean,
Speaker 1: otherwise I don't want to do it this way, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to raise my kid on the road
Speaker 1: and put up a fight about it. But I feel
Speaker 1: like it's not worth it that you fight harder than
Speaker 1: than it is just to go with it. And you know,
Speaker 1: the experience of these kids are getting to see it's
Speaker 1: kind of incredible. And they've been to almost well, Daisy
Speaker 1: has been to every state but Alaska and um, and
Speaker 1: I'll be in Elijah. I've been to every state but
Speaker 1: Hawaiian Alaska. So I mean that's incredible. And they're not
Speaker 1: even in double digits yet. So yeah, it's kind of amazing.
Speaker 1: I never left Nashville except her to go to the beach,
Speaker 1: you know, to get a Panama City on springbreak, you know,
Speaker 1: life experience. I wonder what they're gonna be after seeing
Speaker 1: all these options. They're such smart little cookies. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: really are. They really don't see male, female color, any
Speaker 1: of that stuff, like you know, but all these best
Speaker 1: friends besides Daisy and Elijah is a boy um Dylan,
Speaker 1: and they are like tight little buddies, and so it's yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think a proud mommy moment was for me when
Speaker 1: I felt like I was doing something right. Was her
Speaker 1: last birthday. We took her to Disney World and we
Speaker 1: took her to the bipity boppy Bootlan and they dress
Speaker 1: them all up, so she wanted to be Jasmine and
Speaker 1: then she goes, Mommy, I want to go get my
Speaker 1: picture taken with Chewbacca. I was like, you got it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just like to play a girl. You don't care
Speaker 1: what it is. She left Star Wars Barbies American girl doll.
Speaker 1: If it's a toy, she loves us. Yeah, I love that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really kind of neat. But I think it's because
Speaker 1: growing up on the road, you just every walk of life,
Speaker 1: the road especially it was a tour because there's so
Speaker 1: many crew, so many people that are on the road.
Speaker 1: It's like a whole world. Yeah, it is every walk
Speaker 1: of life. And a lot of those crew people have
Speaker 1: seen them grow up. And even if they don't necessarily
Speaker 1: work for a little big town anymore, they might work
Speaker 1: for Luke, who a little big towns out with. Now
Speaker 1: our very first bus driver when the girls were babies
Speaker 1: is out there, Reggie, and you know, he can't believe
Speaker 1: how big the girls are getting. So it's a little
Speaker 1: bit of a family reunion too. And those are the
Speaker 1: constants for them, is those people out there and the
Speaker 1: bus life, and so it doesn't really matter that the
Speaker 1: outside environment is changing. It really doesn't affect them. It's
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, isn't everyone, My husband, they're just getting
Speaker 1: going in their thousand horses. You've been in after a
Speaker 1: long time. But isn't it amazing so many people are
Speaker 1: like how can you live this life? Is it overwhelming?
Speaker 1: Isn't it hard? But like to me, is it hard
Speaker 1: in general? Beautiful though the experiences in the community, Well,
Speaker 1: life is hard in general, no matter where you're raising
Speaker 1: your baby. I mean, if it was just a choice
Speaker 1: I made, you know, like when Penelby was born, I
Speaker 1: had a choice to sit at home by myself, why
Speaker 1: Philip was out on the road with George straight for
Speaker 1: two months with a new baby, or hop on that
Speaker 1: bus and have another new mom that's literally across the
Speaker 1: bus hallway from me, and you know, to be able
Speaker 1: to ask Karen, hey, can I just go potty by
Speaker 1: myself really quick? And we watch her and they would
Speaker 1: you know, It's like it was. It is a family.
Speaker 1: We do take care of each other, and that's what's
Speaker 1: so nice about it. I mean, it's kind of a
Speaker 1: blessing to have Philip, but it's definitely blessing to have
Speaker 1: his bandmates too. Yeah, they're great. People are all on one.
Speaker 1: We used to all be in one. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of people on one. The girls used to share a bunk.
Speaker 1: We split a bunk in half and patted them all out.
Speaker 1: And this is the I will never forget this Daisies
Speaker 1: our little gymnast. She she literally has had abs since
Speaker 1: the day she was born. She's just so fit and
Speaker 1: little muscles on her legs. She's adorable. Um morning we
Speaker 1: had the divider and the girls kid pop their little
Speaker 1: heads out when they you know, were awake and stuff.
Speaker 1: Well one morning we thought, gosh, they're sleeping in and
Speaker 1: they're being so quiet, and all of a sudden we
Speaker 1: hear this, like Daisy had swung herself over into penalpes
Speaker 1: bunk and we hadn't didn't hear it because she's like
Speaker 1: just some muscles. Oh my gosh, we have no like Kimberly.
Speaker 1: And I was like still like trying to wrap her
Speaker 1: head around, like how did she do that? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: She was our little gymnast for sure. So they were
Speaker 1: just in there playing, having a gret fund a slumber
Speaker 1: party like that girl I always like, have it built
Speaker 1: on slumber parts. Yeah, they always think it's a sleepover.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and now it kind of breaks out to like, um,
Speaker 1: every family gets half of a bus, so like to bus. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like Kimberly's on the bus with the Westbrooks, So it's
Speaker 1: like the Schlapman's the Westbrooks are on one bus, but
Speaker 1: like Kimberly has the bat calf and the Westbrooks at
Speaker 1: the front, and then they kind of share the lobby,
Speaker 1: you know, like the front room, you know, and then
Speaker 1: Philip and I have a back of a bus, and
Speaker 1: then our tour managers out there and security and camera
Speaker 1: guy and you know stuff that. Yeah. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: kids bounced between buses and you know, they think it's
Speaker 1: all theirs. Yeah, I love this. They like bust have
Speaker 1: been the sound check and they're like, we're here when
Speaker 1: I grew up, I want to be a kid a
Speaker 1: little bit time to that sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: It's super fun. They have a great time, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm thankful that Philip and Karen and Jimmy and Kimberly
Speaker 1: have created that environment for all of us and everyone
Speaker 1: wants that same thing. Yeah, it's nice. It's really nice. Okay,
Speaker 1: So how did all y'all's life's change when Girl Crush hit?
Speaker 1: Because that, like change the world, did change the world.
Speaker 1: It was for me. This is what I love about
Speaker 1: being a wife and being on this side is watching
Speaker 1: something like that happen, especially to those four people, and
Speaker 1: but even the controversy that it caused, and then the
Speaker 1: way that they handled it was just so amazing because
Speaker 1: I would just be like, tell that person, you know,
Speaker 1: like I can't even believe that they can hear this,
Speaker 1: or you know, no one can still believe that it
Speaker 1: didn't go to number one, number one, No, it died
Speaker 1: number two? Are you kidding me? But it's like the
Speaker 1: most monster song. It broke a fifty three year sales
Speaker 1: record and didn't go number one. But that's what I
Speaker 1: love about Little Big Town is like, that's that, that's
Speaker 1: so them. Everybody thinks Boondocks went number one and it
Speaker 1: didn't know it went number nine. Really the same thing.
Speaker 1: To Bring It On Home was the highest one until
Speaker 1: Pontoon and it was number four, so that was the
Speaker 1: first number one. Pontoon was Wow, that's crazy. So I
Speaker 1: love I love the Little Big Town is that story.
Speaker 1: You know, like that they just keep going and they
Speaker 1: just keep pushing on. And they actually inspired me a
Speaker 1: lot with Sweet Lady Jane in the way that I
Speaker 1: run my blog and my business is just to be
Speaker 1: patient and just to take the high road and you know,
Speaker 1: just put your nose to the grind and when you
Speaker 1: look up, you're going to be some pressed and then
Speaker 1: just put it right back and just keep going, and
Speaker 1: it's inspiring. They I am lucky to see how that
Speaker 1: they run a well oiled machine. So it's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they definitely yeah the high road for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean they always are just such great examples of
Speaker 1: that I need to learn more about. No, you have
Speaker 1: and I think you though in your journey, the fact
Speaker 1: that you are conquering your greatest fear and you are
Speaker 1: being the most vulnerable, exposing the most vulnerable part of
Speaker 1: yourself and putting it out there, which is an interesting feeling.
Speaker 1: But it's it's like the scariest but the most free,
Speaker 1: right yeah, because you know, if you think about it,
Speaker 1: we're judged every day by no matter who you are.
Speaker 1: When you're walk into the grocery store, if you're in
Speaker 1: your workout close, you know, somebody's like going at you
Speaker 1: like my hot cheese or work out close, you know,
Speaker 1: so it's not any different. And I think when you
Speaker 1: make it an even playing field in your mind, then
Speaker 1: it becomes not so vulnerable and it just becomes like, well,
Speaker 1: if that's their opinion, then they don't have to read it,
Speaker 1: you know, like or if they love it, then they
Speaker 1: can read it, you know, share with your friends and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I really truly am out there
Speaker 1: to conquer a fear and to that your main goal,
Speaker 1: to conquer your fear and to really like have something
Speaker 1: of mine that was creative, my own creative space. You know,
Speaker 1: I'll be one day is not going to be here
Speaker 1: and not need me as much, you know, like in
Speaker 1: that sense, and so I really wanted to have something
Speaker 1: that was mine for that reason. So like your outlet, Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely my outlet. That's amazing. I don't know who's here,
Speaker 1: but somebody's at my house. Hello, Hello, Hey, Hayden, Hey, Okay,
Speaker 1: how's it going, tigerl She picked me up some boots,
Speaker 1: sweet assistant Hayden. What kind of boots you get from him? Line?

Speaker 1: No joke, I love him line, it's like him line.
Speaker 1: Who owns that? Mary? It's not Hollywilliams. She does. She
Speaker 1: does h Audrey And I love Holly too, Yeah, I

Speaker 1: needs to write a book. I'll read that book. That
Speaker 1: horrible accident. Yeah, she needs to write a book. Man.

Speaker 1: country history, but like Nashville history. They've been their family
Speaker 1: has been around, you know, for generations. So but they've
Speaker 1: seen a lot. Okay, so there's some local storees inline

Speaker 1: your future? Like I love vision boards, like where you
Speaker 1: see your life, Like, what do you see your life
Speaker 1: in the next five tin? Just what do you see
Speaker 1: your future with your endeavors in your life. I really
Speaker 1: want sweet Lady Jane to become bigger, you know, like
Speaker 1: even with employees or even the reach and even what
Speaker 1: I'm doing, not just I mean the basis of it
Speaker 1: will always be the blog, but I really want to
Speaker 1: expand into a jacket. I have an idea of her
Speaker 1: jacket that kind of like a Pink Ladies jacket, Like
Speaker 1: I would give you one and Karen one, and and
Speaker 1: they all have HB on it. Oh my gosh, how
Speaker 1: cool that? Which could be head, boss or head depending
Speaker 1: on how you want to take For sure, I would
Speaker 1: say head bitch, But what a great idea for a jacket.
Speaker 1: Every woman would love that. Yeah, and kind of like
Speaker 1: it's almost like my way of thanking them, but also
Speaker 1: like kind of branching out into that world because I
Speaker 1: love fashion too. I mean sometimes I have to google
Speaker 1: how to pronounce the word, but I'm working on that.
Speaker 1: But I really do appreciate it. I mean it's artwork too,
Speaker 1: and it's a creative space. And you know, Alexander McQueen
Speaker 1: is one of my favorites just because of how dramatic
Speaker 1: he is and his opposites of life and death and
Speaker 1: stuff like that is kind of fascinating to me because
Speaker 1: he just seems like a very interesting soul and you know,
Speaker 1: like there's a lot, there was a lot going on
Speaker 1: up there, you know, and you want to grow it,
Speaker 1: grow it big worldwide, like yeah, and cocktail mixes, and
Speaker 1: you know, I really just want to be a providing factor,
Speaker 1: not only for myself but for my family and be
Speaker 1: inspiring to my daughter too, Like I want her to
Speaker 1: feel like if she doesn't fit into this corporate world,
Speaker 1: that she can create her own space. And that's what
Speaker 1: I had to do. So I'm creating my own space
Speaker 1: and I want to be successful in doing that, you know,
Speaker 1: and I want to be like the female Richard Branson
Speaker 1: or something amazing like that, see it, you know, And
Speaker 1: this close to him sometimes I'm like trying to rub
Speaker 1: them for good. Yeah I can, I can. I have
Speaker 1: you met my husband? Kind of look like, my gosh,
Speaker 1: she's gotten that before. It's really funny. That's funny. We
Speaker 1: went to a party after the Grammys, um this past year.
Speaker 1: I have tell the story because you'll crack up. So
Speaker 1: our managers friends with UM Justin Bieber's manager, so we
Speaker 1: got invited to his after party. So we were all
Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, this will be great people watching, right,
Speaker 1: and we're just so not used to paparazzi being there,
Speaker 1: right and like blinding. So I step out of the
Speaker 1: car and they're kind of like who's this, you know,
Speaker 1: And and Philip gets out and they're like Wichard parents
Speaker 1: and Gradid parents and and we just all started busting
Speaker 1: out laughing. And you're like he's like, hey, thank you, yes,
Speaker 1: put my tab on his tub, send him the bill.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Oh my god, it was funny. It was
Speaker 1: quite funny. You know. They're just trying to get a reaction,
Speaker 1: and half of those coopers who don't even know who
Speaker 1: who anybody is anyways, they're just snapping, you know, they're
Speaker 1: trying to get a bite. Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of funny. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna wrap up everything else. I missed that.
Speaker 1: We need to talk about anything else. You want to,
Speaker 1: like talk about sweet Lady Jane or what I'm what's
Speaker 1: going on. I love your stuff too, It's so fun
Speaker 1: and it's so perfect. I love your name too, it's
Speaker 1: so eye catching and thanks so perfect. Well, I think
Speaker 1: that's why I like I'm drawn to you because I
Speaker 1: love that you're just like an innovator and you're just
Speaker 1: doing your own thing and you're putting yourself out there,
Speaker 1: and it's a little scary to do that. Like when
Speaker 1: I started this podcast, I was a little nerve wracking
Speaker 1: because it's like what everyone thinks, I'm stupid, No, but
Speaker 1: you're not. You're so entertaining. That's what I love about
Speaker 1: it too. And the people that you've interviewed, You've gotten
Speaker 1: this great stuff out of them, and your questions are
Speaker 1: very thoughtful and I love it. This was fun. Anytime
Speaker 1: you want to come hang out with me, you are
Speaker 1: always welcome. Girl. Well, I love hanging out with you. Well,
Speaker 1: you're so inspiring, and that's the kind of people like
Speaker 1: to interview, are people who are inspiring the world, because
Speaker 1: that's what needs to be heard and seeing more of it.
Speaker 1: I hope that that's the goal to you know, it's
Speaker 1: just to be inspiring to Penelope and other people out
Speaker 1: there who might have a challenge, even if it's not dyslexia.
Speaker 1: You know, I encourage you to explore it and figure
Speaker 1: out and don't be scared of it. You look, you's
Speaker 1: right in the eyes. And this is the scariest thing
Speaker 1: part of my life. And I'm going to expose it
Speaker 1: to everyone because I'm an intelligent human being and I
Speaker 1: will fix this. You know. That just inspires me to know.
Speaker 1: In so and there's a will, there's a will, there's
Speaker 1: a way. You don't face it, you can't fix it,
Speaker 1: so you know, and it will chase you, it will forever,
Speaker 1: it will. It will chase you until you look at
Speaker 1: it in the eyeball. And now I don't feel so,
Speaker 1: you know, I kept going back to college, kept going
Speaker 1: back to college and trying to get that agree. And
Speaker 1: now that doesn't mean as much to me as before,
Speaker 1: because now I feel like I've conquered what we're trying
Speaker 1: to do with college exactly. Like I'm still learning and
Speaker 1: I'm still reading books and educating myself. So I'm okay
Speaker 1: with not having that piece of paper, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I like to wrap up with leave your Light.
Speaker 1: So just give me some inspiration. How you have been inspired,
Speaker 1: how you inspire people, like just leave light? I like that.
Speaker 1: I like leave light. Um, so I would encourage people, yeah,
Speaker 1: to face their demon and follow their dreams. And you
Speaker 1: know what, we live in a great country where you
Speaker 1: can do that. You're the only person stopping you is you.
Speaker 1: You know, Philip is a great example of that. Little
Speaker 1: big towns a great example of that. Great example of
Speaker 1: you are too. I mean you grew up in the industry,
Speaker 1: in the music industry too, and you know, to do
Speaker 1: something that's so amazing you and yours and it feels
Speaker 1: good to tip of your life. Yeah, and it's authentic
Speaker 1: to you. And so I just encourage people to do that.
Speaker 1: And dreams do come true, you just have to follow them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: stay at it. When it gets doesn't mean it will
Speaker 1: be easy. It won't be and it won't be, but
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be worth it. If it was, it wouldn't
Speaker 1: be fun. You know, I think you're the most perfect
Speaker 1: person ever. You really are. You're so sweet. I love

Speaker 1: met him. And it's crazy because now he's been a
Speaker 1: friend to me for about ten years and he's always
