Do you ever see pics of yourself from the past and think “why was I so hard on myself then?!”…. when I see pictures of myself from 5-10 years ago (or earlier) the first thing I think about is how much I would beat myself up about my physical appearance. Trying to exercise and be healthy but also throwing up my food, withholding food from myself, always slipping back into my unhealthy mindset that the thinner I was the more beautiful I would appear to people. All the while, I know people who were close to me would say encouraging things to me but the culture towards women in the entertainment business has always been TRASH. I experienced things that are so “normal” in the music industry but I wish it wasn’t… signed to a record label that told me to lose weight when I was literally at my fittest (I was deep into CrossFit at the time). Shelling out thousands of dollars to “reshape my body” to a more “womanly tone”-whatever the fuck that means. That’s why a song like “Ordinary Girl”, from my most recent album ‘lauren’, is still hard to sing sometimes. Cause sometimes I wish I could have just had more fun instead of being inundated with all this other BS alongside some of the most exciting moments of my life! I’m happy to be where I am today, 148 lbs of living, breathing human who sometimes eats pizza and sometimes eats salad and tries not to overthink things. I’m also so happy to be in my role at my label, @noreverserecords, where I can work alongside all of our new artists not only producing beautiful music with them but also creating an environment where they can be whatever they want to be and look however they want to look. Lastly, thanks @zackcloudhall for sending me this throwback pic this week! Working with and sharing the stage with @brendonurie & @panicatthedisco has been one of the most fulfilling things I’ve gotten to be a part of and seeing this memory made me smile. I also want to know if I’ll ever figure out what happened to my tiny harmonica necklace!!!! 🫶🏻✨🫶🏻 #selflovesaturday

I have always been called by a “Batman signal” but for cat rescuing!! 😂😻🫶🏻 We found another little baby sitting on the curb of one of the main streets in our city. We were on our evening walk tonight and when we stumbled upon him he was shaking and absolutely filthy, I’m just glad we saved him before he got run over! 🥺😅 #whowantsanewbabykitten #lolocatrescue #savethefurbabies #spayandneutersaveslives

Thanks @maskedsingerfox for the “Spring Awakening” shout out this week!! Maybe they should have us on next season?? What do you think?! 😈
Today was laughter, with hugs and kisses for the one who made me a mama! Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate! I hope you had a day where the ones you love made all of your efforts feel seen and treasured. ✨💭
One of the most exciting parts about becoming a record label owner is getting to sign and work with artists we believe will change the world. We finally get to announce that @musicbykota is officially part of the @noreverserecords roster!! I’ve been working with these guys for the last 2 years, they are smart, funny and can play the fuck outta some guitars. Here we go boys!! 🎢
