The Final Episode
The Anthem Project has meant so much to me, and I feel good about this next chapter in my life.

The Best Gift - A Daughter's Love, Part II
I am so excited for this episode!! I am so grateful for the opportunity to write this song for Jan, Shelly, and Batsheva's family. I know you will absolutely enjoy this conversation!
A Daughter's Love, with Batsheva
This episode is filled with so much love and admiration, the kind a daughter feels for her parents. Through the words and stories Batsheva lends me, I begin to meet her parents, Jan and Shelly (who will be featured in next week's episode!). I am incredibly honored to have been allowed to write a song for her family, and this preceding conversation contextualizes the song so beautifully, and I hope you enjoy it!

Nancy Sees A New Life Rising
Nancy is one of my favorite people. We met by chance through an online course, and quickly developed a friendship. As a women who has run her own business, Nancy became an inspiration to me. When I studied entrepreneurship in school, we didn’t really talk or lear about female entrepreneurs, and I often times felt alone in this major, seeing mostly guys in my classes. Seeing Nancy successfully run a business and being able to ask her about it was such an amazing gift. Make sure to follow her @designerlyexperience !

Let's Play Allie!
In this episode of the Anthem Project I interviewed Allie Bowes from the upcoming podcast The Company We Keep. The Company We Keep is centered around telling the stories of women as they craft the life they want to live and the spaces they live it in. Allie has a very playful spirit, and is ready and willing to make the changes she needs to make in her own life to create the life she wants to lead. One of the key topics in this episode is this element of play. It's important to let yourself be messy and take action, and learn how to keep going. You can follow Allie on instagram @allie_bowes and @_thecompanywekeep.

I'm Beautiful
Hi there! Thank you so much for listening to the first episode of the Anthem Project!
In this episode, I tell the story of what inspired me to start the Anthem Project. I have been songwriting for awhile, and love that I can understand my emotions and learn and grow through songwriting. Inspired by the story of a Sara Bareilles song, I wrote my own anthem, which then moved me to wanting to write an anthem for someone else.

The Anthem Project - Season 1 Trailer
Welcome to The Anthem Project!!
My name is Maria, and I am a Chicago based Singer Songwriter. I did a songwriting experiment to see how I can take my artistry to the next level. In this podcast, I explore anthemic songwriting by taking someone's life story and writing them an anthem - a song that emotionally connects to them and gives them what they need to listen to celebrate their life and feel empowered and seen.
