In this episode, Jillian Hervey—one half of the genre-blending music duo LION BABE—joins host Lalaina Rabary for a candid conversation about identity, creativity, and the transformative journey of motherhood.
Jillian shares how life has changed since welcoming her son, Sunny, into the world and how stepping into motherhood reshaped her sense of self, both on and off stage. She opens up about the fears she had before becoming a mom, especially the worry that she might lose touch with the vibrant, artistic self she had cultivated for years.
For Jillian, LION BABE was her first “baby.” She poured her twenties into building their sound and career. Now, as a mother, she reflects on what it really means to find balance, how her passion for music remains as strong as ever, and why dance and self-expression are still essential to who she is.
You’ll also hear Jillian discuss the reactions from fans, the realities of shifting priorities, and the affirmations she's found in this new chapter of life.
