As one of the industry’s most in-demand songwriters, today’s guest - Lori McKenna - has written songs for country music’s top artists including Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and Little Big Town - just to name a few!

You might know her as the writer behind Stealing Kisses (Faith Hill), Humble and Kind (Tim McGraw), and Girl Crush (Little Big Town)! AND she is the brains behind the Living with Landyn podcast theme song- All The Things!

As a wife, mother of 5, and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, Lori is no stranger to trying to strike the balance between being present in the moment and reaching for the stars! And, on today’s episode Landyn and Lori cover a lot of ground!

From selling tupperware to pay the bills, to Lori’s first open mic night in Boston, to becoming a legendary songwriter - Lori’s story is full of inspiration, hard work, and chasing dreams.

Landyn and Lori also open up about motherhood and the struggles of ‘letting go’ as your children get older; the value of friendships and finding your tribe; and, the importance of putting your family first.
