QUESTIONS EP: OUT NOW
Questions is the product of a lot of time (during the pandemic lockdown), a breakup (also predictably in the lockdown), and the subsequent therapy and healing (an absolute necessity all the time – but ESPECIALLY during the lockdown). It’s for anyone in the middle of the chaos, questioning their worth, fearing change. Trust me when I say… it is worth it. Whatever ‘it’ is. YOU - your time, your days, your joy, your peace - are valuable. The fear you feel is based on what has happened not what CAN or WILL happen. It is so vulnerable for me to share this part of myself with you, but it is for you as much as it is for me. So with all my love… here’s Questions.

I’m so grateful for this year and for who I was this year. One of my big big fears is being too much for people, so in the past I’ve tried to be whatever I imagine people want me to be - a truly maddening and unfruitful endeavor to be certain. But this year, I made a conscious effort to show up in full authenticity and let the chips fall where they may, and let me tell you… that’s the move turns out. Turns out! I am indeed too much for some people AND THATS OK! When the thing you’ve feared the most and worked so hard to avoid actually happens and life continues and you’re still standing you learn some things. You learn that everyone and everything is not meant for you. You learn to trust yourself and the universe to meet your needs. You learn that love - for however long it lasts - is valuable. It doesn’t need to last a lifetime, sometimes it can light on you for just long enough to remind you to stay open. You learn to walk through life with open hands and remember that nothing lasts, and that’s, in fact, the beauty of it all. The moment you grasp onto anything to try to make it stay, to own it, is the moment you begin to stray from joy and trust. Things, opportunities, people - they cycle in and out in their own time. You just need to show up authentically and do your best. To all of you who’ve made this year so beautiful, Thank You. Wishing you every sweetness and joy in 2022 🍾✨

BACK TO YOU IS OUT on all the streaming platforms!! 🎉This song was the very last one Wayne and I worked on for this EP. I’d had the little melody for the hook in a voice note forever but I just couldn’t find a world for it to live in but I knew the first line would be “Go Back.” Sometimes you gotta just live a little more and the context will just form itself around you. This is an ode to my codependency. It’s about how much I love to wallow in toxicity. It’s about how it’s SO much easier for me to pour myself out to avoid dealing with my own s**t. Martyrdom as avoidance. “Love” and “nurturing” as manipulation. And it’s also a reminder of how far I’ve come. IT IS HARD TO LOVE YOURSELF. IT IS HARD TO CHOOSE YOURSELF. It is hard to break generational patterns. The work is hard but it is worth it. So! Here’s my little musical mile marker from a time not so long ago when it was too easy to go backward to remind you that it’s only easy at first… and that you should turn some of that attention and love inward. It’s really worth it. Trust me.

Last night my friends at premiered my single Back To You on the radio around 9:34p. I was at the Regent watching sing his guts out but I stepped outside just in time to hear him say “a new one from Jessica Childress.” I was so overcome! and I have been sitting on this music for a year+ and it finally had its debut on the airwaves. People other than those with my last name and in my innermost circle have heard this sexy, intimate, self-owning song and it really deeply excites [see also: terrifies] me. You can still hear it over at kcsn/88.5 for now but one week from today it will be out for the whole world to hear. Can’t wait.
