“SPACES” is about the desire to fill the space between you and your goals whether that be a love, a dream or just to stay strong in hard times and get to the other side.  My goal at that time was to get pregnant and have a baby while I was engulfed in a 3 year long battle with infertility.  This song came during an intense time where I questioned if this would ever happen.  

I can happily say that I gave birth to Leo Cash on Nov 5, 2017.  This song helped me stay positive and focused.  I hope it can help motivate others to fill the space between them and what they want. Enjoy!
