Episode 80: Babehoven on Dance Mornings, Setting Boundaries, and Winning the Love Lottery Music Therapy with Jessica Risker

    • Music Interviews

As a therapist, I often work with couples.  Couples generally come to therapy when they need some help, and as you might imagine, it can be tense. 

That’s why it was so nice to talk with Maya Bon and Ryan Albert of Babehoven.  They have a very sweet dynamic!  I’ve always wondered what it would be like to work on music while dating a bandmate, and it was really interesting to hear how they come up with ideas, give each other feedback, who’s the boss, and work through disagreements while working on music together. 

We also talked about their new EP ”Sunk” out now on Double Double Whammy, their work ethic, using music to deal with past family trauma and loss, setting boundaries and fresh starts, communication skills, their adorable dog Woody, and lots more.
