Ep 23: Fueling Femme Dreams + Bringing BIG Ideas to Life with Lauren Spalding, aka "Hermixalot"

Today's episode couldn't have been more divine timing with Women's Equality Day this week on August 26th, and Lauren's birthday which was on August 23rd (Happy Birthday Lauren!) What a better way to celebrate than by soaking in her energy + POWERFUL message in fueling femme dreams and how she has been able to bring BIG ideas to life (Tits first, you'll hear the story behind this!)

Come ALIVE + climb the Lauren Spalding tree with me, rooted in LOVE above all else, which takes many forms such as the movement of music + anything creative that Universally speaks to your Soul. In her words, “Be present in the moment, and try to string together as many moments as you can that feel good, and do good.” 

Lauren is a beacon of hope to provide womxn and non binary folx the opportunity to become DJ’s, producers, and engineers in the music world through the educational non-profit Femme House, for which she co-founded with LP Giobbi. In 2021, still only 2.5% of non-males are producers + engineers. 

More on Lauren: 

Lauren A. Spalding graduated from high school on a Thursday afternoon, and started working as a publicity intern at Capitol Records the next morning (where the Beatles, Sinatra, and Nat King Cole recorded!) That was over fifteen years ago, and she hasn’t worked a “real” job since.

 As an artist management consultant for her own shop, The Spalding Company, she's shepherded fruitful partnerships to help bring her clients' big ideas to life. As a managing member of Sofi Tukker’s artist oasis, Animal Talk Collective, she’s been a songwriter, party planner, publishing executive, and webmaster, sometimes all in the same day. As co-founder of educational non-profit FEMME HOUSE, she chips away at the equity gap inherent to the technical roles of the music industry, providing womxn and non binary folx opportunities to learn how to be producers and engineers. And as her artist alter ego, Hermixalot, she lives out her pre-teen Missy Elliot dreams, writing and performing songs to move the people.
