Ep 024 | Second Act, First Album | Tara B with Kristen Budde
Season 7 · Episode 24
mercredi 25 mars 2026 • Duration 30:55
What happens when someone answers the call to music later in life?
In this episode, "Second Act, First Album," we sit down with musician Kristen Budde who didn't follow the traditional path into a music career—but instead discovered that the dream was still waiting in life's second act.
After years spent in another career, Kristen decided it was finally time to pursue music seriously. That decision led to writing, recording, and releasing their very first album—proving that passion, persistence, and creativity don't come with an expiration date.
