Episode 6: A Songwriter Is A Songwriter
How did Alan Jackson write one of Faith Hill’s most convincing songs about a woman losing herself in marriage? And how did a heartbreak-fueled chorus become Russell Dickerson’s love song to his wife?In this mini episode, Parker explores empathy, unexpected songwriters, and the specific details that make a song universal, from “I Can’t Do That Anymore” to the story behind “Blue Tacoma.” A songwriter isn’t confined by age, gender, or labels and one song can hold more than one truth.Follow AlongWomen’s Writes on TikTok — @thewomenswrites https://www.tiktok.com/@thewomenswrites?_r=1&_t=ZP-99n4TLNC5xHWomen’s Writes on Instagram — @thewomenswrites https://www.instagram.com/thewomenswrites/Host - Parker Welling — Parkerwellingnohe https://www.instagram.com/parkerwellingnohe/Host - Lydia Vaughan — Lydia_vaughan https://www.instagram.com/lydia_vaughan/Our PartnersTitle Sponsor — Kilometre Music Group: https://www.kilomg.comVideo Production provided by — dbVrentals: https://dbvrentals.comCreative Direction / Brand Development - AYA Creative: https://www.ayacreative.xyz/Podcast Editing & Production - Ashlyne Huff Blue / Small Batch Sound: https://www.smallbatchsound.com/Home Team Publishing / G Major Management - https://www.instagram.com/gmajormanagement/The Green Room PR - https://www.thegreenroompr.comContact: mailto:supportwomenswrites@gmail.comIf you enjoyed this episode:Subscribe to Women's WritesFollow us on Instagram and TikTokShare this episodeLeave a reviewTag us when you're listening

Episode 2: The Rising Tides
Women’s Writes started with a simple idea: get a group of female songwriters together for a weekend to hang out, write songs, and actually get to know each other.What happened next became the theory behind this entire podcast. In our first mini episode,Parker starts with the accidental experiment that started Women’s Writes and falls in a rabbit hole that leads to the realization that friendship creates proximity, proximity creates creative preference, and creative preference creates opportunity. Because sometimes the reason the same people keep ending up in the room together is simply because they like to hang out with each other.Follow AlongWomen’s Writes on TikTok — @thewomenswrites https://www.tiktok.com/@thewomenswrites?_r=1&_t=ZP-99n4TLNC5xH Women’s Writeson Instagram — @thewomenswrites https://www.instagram.com/thewomenswrites/Host - Parker Welling — Parkerwellingnohe https://www.instagram.com/parkerwellingnohe/Host - Lydia Vaughan — Lydia_vaughan https://www.instagram.com/lydia_vaughan/Our PartnersTitle Sponsor — Kilometre Music Group: https://www.kilomg.comVideo Production provided by — dbVrentals: https://dbvrentals.comCreative Direction / Brand Development - AYA Creative: https://www.ayacreative.xyz/Podcast Editing & Production - Ashlyne Huff Blue / Small Batch Sound: https://www.smallbatchsound.com/Home Team Publishing / G Major Management - https://www.instagram.com/gmajormanagement/The Green Room PR - https://www.thegreenroompr.comContact: mailto:supportwomenswrites@gmail.comIf you enjoyed this episode:Subscribe to Women's WritesFollow us on Instagram and TikTokShare this episodeLeave a reviewTag us when you're listening
