In this episode we interview  singer, songwriter, music producer and activist Valerie Orth.  She talks honestly and vulnerably about her journey in the music industry, the deep and painful challenges of being a woman in that industry, and her commitment to authenticity, to finding her authentic voice as a musician, as a woman, and as a human being.  She also speaks about how activism is woven into her life and her music how important that balance, that weaving, is for her.  We were delighted, as well, that she agreed to play live for us two of her beautiful and soulful songs.  If you want to know more about Valerie or get connected to her music and projects, you can visit her website at:  https://valerieorth.com/ or search your favorite music service for her music.
