Welcome back to the Her Process micro pod! These bonus episodes consist of the same twelve questions I ask all of my guests, rapid fire style. It’s fun to hear how artists across different genres answer these questions sometimes very similarly, and sometimes not! Today I’m chatting with singer, songwriter, Dree Mon. If you missed her full episode, episode number 43, and you want to see photos and fun facts, pop on over to herprocess.com after the show. And now, here’s ten minutes of wisdom with Dree Mon!

I’m chatting with singer, songwriter, Dree Mon. Now, when you hear Dree Mon’s music it’s not what you typically think of when you hear the words “singer, songwriter”. Her style is described as “70s disco funk meets 90s R&B with a modern twist”. And her debut single Rebel Soul, along with the most fun video, is out now. And you can hear Rebel Soul end of this show!
After eight years in the music business, it was time for a rebrand, and Dree was up for the challenge! In this episode we talk about working with a publicist, how you can't just create art and expect things to start to happen in your career, and the importance of consistency. There's a lot of good stuff here, and I can't wait for you to hear it and be inspired!

I’m wrapping up this special series with two artists whose specific intent is to remain as active as ever in their fields throughout motherhood…and they’re doing just that.
Sandra Valde is a cinematographer whose work takes her on the road for up to three months at a time, and Shelley Couvillion is an illustrator who primarily works from home. In this episode, we discuss everything from full time daycare at 3 months old to the possibility of home schooling. From a work environment and artistic community that is extra supportive of motherhood to keeping pregnancy under wraps at work until month five.
For all the differences in their experiences in early motherhood, there are also some very universal similarities. And, these ladies are both making it work. Want to know how? Take a listen!

Welcome to the third installment of my special Her Process series on artists who are juggling the pursuit of art and parenthood! Today I’m talking with Lois Keller and Margaret Haas, two visual artists in two very different stages of motherhood. Lois is a fine artist with a background as a scenic artist. Her daughters are aged 10 and 14. Margaret is a calligrapher, does hand lettering, and owns a stationery store called Paper Pastries. (If you're in LA, you have to swing by!) Margaret's daughter is 20 months old. As you can see, today's conversation is coming from two very different vantage points. Three, if you count mine!
As a mom-to-be, this chat really made me think. These ladies got real and talked about the part of motherhood and career that aren’t often talked about…the part where things don’t necessarily go the way you thought they might have, the part where you make adjustments, both in the way you approach your work and in your way of thinking. We decided that the theme for our talk is "surrender". Take a listen, and you'll hear why.
