Reflecting on the recent time in Costa Rica with my new soul fam, ayahuasca + kambo for the #lightseekersretreat @inner_flight_retreat with @ownyourohmhealth @alexandra.tentiu_tara @roberto.tentiu @elenaalfarojinesta ✨Along with the entire trip, there was a sign @thegoddessgarden that reminded me of a song that I wrote and am excited to finish recording called, “Human”:

“Hugging the cactus, scratches out an atlas…
On a bare mattress in the vastness…
There’s so many hues man to being human. Seeing it for what it is or seeing it for who we are…”

Stoked to be back at home in Nashville and play live music shows with a new energy and perspective. First up is a solo acoustic set this Saturday for @thegetupnashville @bitesphat ⚡️ Show starts at 8pm, I’ll be playing the writers round that starts at 9pm.

Down the line: On Wed, April 16th, it will be a fun full band show opening for the talented @palmghosts @the5spotnashville 💫I’ll be kicking it off at 6pm with my soul brothers @dont_fine_me_1 @zugmusic @minizug

George Carlin said, “When you’re born into this world, you’re given a ticket to the freak show. If you’re born in America you get a front row seat.”
No matter your political beliefs, I think we can all agree this planet is going through some wild shifts.

“Shit Show” is a song I wrote, produced and released four years ago this month and YouTube originally took the music video down due to the lyrical content. It is now re-uploaded on YouTube if you dig the vibe🎪💀🎟️ ✨ “Got a ticket to the front row
The final act of the shit show
Overhead it dims low, as the spotlight grows
The dark age fades from the page
Set the stage for the boomerang”…

“Shit Show (River Man)” is also featured on my debut, self-titled album streaming on all platforms. Follow for more original music!

A special shout out to the shirtless man @uncleniq in the video: Happy birthday and may this be the best trip around the sun yet! Without you I wouldn’t know my live band members and many souls I hold dear to my heart. Glad the universe crossed our paths in this lifetime🥹🙏🏽💜

“All is Well”: This song is now a year old and the words are still ringing true with the many ways things are being operated these days…

Are there more shells in schools, on the streets
Than shells on the beach?
Is the system broken?
Innocence stolen

A beat up cardboard sign sings:
Nothing is what it seems
But all is well and will be

Big pharma, big oil, big banks, gee thanks
Big deals turning wheels rolling city states

Politics and sponsorships
Bought and paid for by…

Is the system broken?
Folks are choking
Poisoned waters and skies don’t lie

A dusty church marquee sings:
Nothing is what it seems
But all is well and will be

“All is Well” is streaming on all platforms + the full music video is out in YouTube land (link in bio)☎️⚡️👁️ Full acoustic video is on TikTok…If you want to hear the song live in the flesh, check out the live show dates in the bio link. First up, I’ll be playing an acoustic solo set for @thegetupnashville @bitesphat Saturday 3/22 at 9pm followed by more dates with a mix of solo + full band shows✨ #fyp #spirituality #music #fypage #singersongwriter

Wowza 🤩 What an honor to be among such stellar #women in this lifetime. Although not all the souls are captured in these images: I have SO much respect, gratitude and love for all that you give through your talents, beauty (within + out), encouragement, kindness, wisdom, heart and power. May you receive tenfold what you give. Keep shining bright in your authenticity, divine femininity + doing the damn thing. Rock on🤘🏽⚡️💞 Happy Women’s Day + Month! And to all the men pictured and not: thank you for supporting women. It takes a village for us all 💯💜✨ #womensday #fypage #fyp #divinefeminine

In the infancy of returning to music and exploring my authentic sound as an artist, I channeled/wrote, produced + released my second single, “Shit Show (River Man)” in March 2021. The music video was removed from YouTube shortly after, due to lyrical content 🙃🤷🏽‍♀️😂🧐

With the four year anniversary of the track being out on all streaming platforms + the collective shifts/current state of the world, the music video is re-uploaded on YouTube if you feel the vibe and take the dive 🎪💀🎟️ ✨

“Got a ticket to the front row
The final act of the shit show
Overhead it dims low, as the spotlight grows
The dark age fades from the page
Set the stage for the boomerang”

Part 1: My first time in #CostaRica + my first time with #ayahuasca and #kambo ⚡️What an experience. If you’re looking to face and purge your trauma + shadows, I highly recommend @inner_flight_retreat @ownyourohmhealth @alexandra.tentiu_tara @roberto.tentiu @elenaalfarojinesta as they facilitated an intense, yet transformative, safe and beautiful space with the ever so accommodating and stunning @thegoddessgarden 💖The journey is not for the faint of heart and is a continuing process, but doing it with new additions to my soul family and sis-stars in this lifetime is something I’ll never forget. Our higher selves might’ve lovingly kicked our asses, but we also kicked some ass and may that continue as we evolve 🥹💪🏽Individually and collectively we found our inner strength in the toughest of times (especially physically 💀). Looking forward to more ceremonies in the near future in the heart of the magical Cahuita. Words really can’t express the magnitude of it all and the gratitude, love I have for every divine being I was in the orbit of. 🙏🏽💗⚡️🙌🏽 @andraegg ColleenRebecca @barefoot.and.blossoming @fire_fly_tash @nashvilleniki @earthflowmuse #healingjourney #lightseekersretreat

Much gratitude for the #birthday wishes🙏🏽✨💞
Also, many thanks to the new music streaming platform @validmusichq for including me in their Top 2024 Artists + @pinosquillace for introducing me to it. The alternative digital service teamed up with @lightning100 to improve streaming for independent artists and listeners. They recently added all music releases from yours truly, including the single, “All is Well”. Give it a whirl + support indie artists in one swoop 💫Link in bio for #validmusic + the “All is Well” music video released earlier this year. In the meantime, wishing much peace to all 💜 #indiemusic #fyp #alternative #nashville

Words can’t express the amount of loss and grief this year. 💔Two weeks ago, I never would’ve imagined coming back to Kansas to help my beloved grandpa pass unexpectedly from an aggressive and rapid brain tumor. It was an honor to be Al Leiker’s granddaughter and have such a stellar example of authenticity and dedication. He built so many beautiful things with his bare hands, including his house and planted every tree on his property. He passed on his birthday this week, surrounded by family on his farm. His wit, independence, charm, love, dancing, cooking, encouragement, passion for music, life and brilliant spirit is missed in this realm. Whether coaching me in baseball, introducing me to Janis Joplin’s music or supporting my dreams as an adult, he was a pillar. I have dreaded the day of him leaving this planet since I was a child…knowing deep grief is the flip side of the coin to deep love. Thank you for your service, your love, the fun, the magic and for everything you taught me, Papa. You’re forever loved. #rip #love #family ♥️

In the rough is the diamond…

Lately it seems like a lot of us are going through some strong energies. Whether it’s personally or collectively, the beauty is in the openness to the moment, the roughness, letting go and growth. This human thing isn’t for the faint of heart, so keep on trucking no matter what you’re encountering on your journey. ✨💎✨

On the brink of the full moon eclipse tomorrow, it was already cooking up many changes, strangeness and magical experiences and encounters this weekend.

Mary Martin passed away peacefully on Independence Day. As the fireworks in downtown Nashville began to soar, so did her spirit. It was an honor to be with her just hours before.

Our journey began more than eight years ago, when I was a local TV news reporter. Our mutual dear pals, Verna Wyatt and Valerie Craig, at the nonprofit, @tennessee_voices_for_victims introduced us. We instantly connected as if we had met before and unexpectedly became like sisters later on.

She influenced the life and music of iconic artists, including: @emmylou_harris_ , @rodneyjcrowell @vincegillofficial Chip Taylor @steveearle @bobdylan @the_band_official_ @vanmorrisonofficial @keithurban @leonardcohen and many others. What a humbling experience to be in the orbit of such an incredible spirit and all the company she kept.

Like she did for so many others, she guided me through the ups, downs and evolutions of life. When she knew I wanted to leave news and pursue filmmaking, she asked who I wanted to do a documentary on and I replied, “You”. Mary, being a humble soul, eventually agreed.

Although there have been twists and turns in both of our lives over the years, the film is in post production and will celebrate Mary and her unique story.

During our time together, Mary also encouraged me to pursue my first love of music. She showed her support through listening, giving her honest feedback and even attending shows. There were so many beautiful, magical and bittersweet moments with Mary Martin. I’m grateful for all of them and the wisdom from her. The greatest lessons learned: Blaze your own trail. Do what you love and do all with love.

Mary led an inspiring, independent and authentic life. She will be forever loved and missed. Later in life, Mary always shared this mantra with her tribe: “Peace, calm, beauty, balance, gratitude and loving kindness.” Let it be.
