In this episode, Tara sits down with Sydney Quiseng of Echosmith for an honest, grounding conversation about music, identity, and parenthood. Sydney opens up about the joy and anticipation she feels as she prepares to become a mom, and how that season inspired her newest song, “That’s My Baby (On Main Street).”

Tara and Sydney talk about the evolution of her sound toward a more coastal-country feel, the role nature plays in her creativity, and how past songs like “Cool Kids” were born from her own journey toward self-acceptance. She also shares her deep love for Japanese culture and language, and how those influences quietly shape her artistry.

Sydney doesn’t shy away from the real conversations, what it means to slow down, be present, and intentionally step back from work to bond with her baby. They dive into the complicated role the internet plays for modern parents, both as a lifeline and a source of anxiety, and why tuning into your own instincts matters more than ever.

This conversation is a reminder that becoming a mother doesn’t end creativity. It transforms it, and Sydney is just beginning to imagine how this next chapter will show up in her music and her life.
