Thu, 17 Sep 2026 04:13:36 GMT

In this first episode of Women’s Writes, Lauren Alaina joins hosts Parker Welling and Lydia Vaughan for an honest and inspiring conversation about songwriting, creativity, and the many stages of life. Lauren opens up about her new album, Stages, motherhood, and a brand-new collaboration with Kane Brown. She also shares the story behind a special song on the album featuring her brother and talks about the experience of recording outside songs co-written entirely by women. The conversation goes even deeper as Lauren, Parker, and Lydia dive into their own relationship as co-writers — exploring the creative connection, trust, friendship, and magic that happens when women write together. Whether you’re a songwriter, music fan, or simply interested in the stories behind the songs, this episode is a special look at the people and experiences that shape the music we love.
