In return, she wants listeners to feel the same way about themselves.

“Ready has often been an excuse, and one I didn’t want to use anymore,” Harnett says. “I wasn’t ready to be proud of the skin I was in, to find my inner confidence or to truly practice self-love. But I’m doing it now and it’s an ongoing, crazy and unpredictable journey that I’m grateful for.”

Describing her new album as “iconic,” she admits that tooting her own horn never came naturally to her. The creation of this album helped her to let go of those negative voices we all adopt. Realizing we cannot be defined by our success, we have to be defined by our passion and our heart. A singer-songwriter whose deep understanding of herself as a person, as an artist, is unshakeable. The more confident person she’s become is super refreshing to witness.
