Another Mother
A podcast about motherhood & music! Conversations with musician moms about their journey to and through motherhood while being a musician. We talk about challenges, joys, how we do make a messy but satisfying creative life while being a mom.
Meet your host! Suzanna Choffel is a musician, songwriter, radio personality (Sun Radio) & mother living in Austin, TX. She has toured internationally, been on NBC's The Voice, recorded four studio albums and spent time on the road with everyone from Adrian Quesada to Davíd Garza, Carbon Leaf & more. Her latest album Bird by Bird (2024) explores the multitudes found in both motherhood & midlife, a pandemic, mental health, living in New York City, the death of Breonna Taylor & more! While recording her latest album, her producer & friend Davíd Garza mentioned he thought she should start this podcast, combining her love & knowledge of music, conversation & of course motherhood! Voila! A new podcast was born...(a couple of years later).
We can't wait for you to meet all of the amazing mothers making rad music, raising rad children & just being general badasses in the world!

I'm so excited to welcome you to the world of the amazing Rachel Loy, a songwriter, bassist, & producer who has also been a dear inspiration as a mother. (Though she first inspired me musically at Momo's with her album Love the Mess which could also be another title for this podcast!)
She became a mom just before I did so I looked to her right away for advice as I entered this crazy world and she has been helping me ever since. In this episode you will hear some of the impactful things she told me when I first became a mom that stay with me to this day.
Her bio includes many big names she has played bass for and with, but I adore her original music which you should go check out. When we spoke two years ago she was just releasing her first new album in several years (Swan Dive) which is so heartbreakingly beautiful & raw. She is mainly known as a producer these days and I couldn't believe what she revealed about a childhood list she found about her goals in life...talk about manifesting & knowing yourself from such a young age.
Her giggle and laugh make me so happy...as does her outlook on everything. I hope you enjoy & please go find out more about her, follow & listen to her music at the links below!
