Speaking on the Ladder to the Moon Ryder said "This EP is the journey I took through discovering how to stand strongly in who I am, unapologetic about my voice, my dreams and the depth of how I love. When you choose to surrender to love whether it be for yourself or another, these landscapes that once held limitations become wide, commanding and wild like a woman." [5]
