Episode 185 | Musician Jillian Jacqueline

On this episode we have on musician Jillian Jacqueline.I’ve done tons of calls with touring musicians who are dads, and interviewed moms before on this podcast, but Jillian is the first touring musician mom I’ve done an interview with!  And for that I’m really appreciative of her taking the time to do a call with me!With Jillian we discussed the sacrifices you make as a parent, redefining your creativity, how differently you view your time when you become a parent, how many things she feels like she’s still figuring out, her love of doing every day life things with her husband, and her new album MotherDaughterSister Wife.Her new album was released on October 17th and you can find it wherever you stream music, or go buy it on her website!Jillian also works with Family Alliance in Music, or FAM.  And since we have so many people on who are musician and part of that community I want to take the time to promote FAM as well.FAM is an organization providing advocacy, education and financial support to parents and caretakers in the music industry.
