Describing herself as a “person who lives life with their heart on their sleeve,” she penned, “An opportunity to audition forThe Voicecame up and I thought, ‘Why not?’ I had always said that I would NEVER do one of these shows. But I’m a firm believer in saying ‘Yes’ when something rolls your way. If you say ‘Yes,’ something amazing could happen, but if you say ‘No’ you’ll never really know what could have been.”
Aijia added, “Now I’m not going to sit here and tell you that my ego isn’t a bit bruised. Sure it is. But your ego is not a real thing. And isn’t that what life’s all about? Doing things that scare you? You progress when you allow yourself to be vulnerable and to be seen.”

Andy and Aijia became parents in 2017. The couple confirmed to PEOPLE in March of that year that they wereexpecting their first child. “It’s been really exciting because on both sides of our family it’s the first girl, so it’s fun because it’s happy news to everyone,” Aijia said at the time.
The couple’s family grew on April 3, 2020, with thearrival of their second daughter, Israel “Izzy” Blue, who was born in their living room during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Announcing her arrival onInstagram, Andy wrote, “She has transformed our household which was in a state of caution, fear, and anxiety into one of knowing, spirituality and intense love. She has brought us back to our center.” The proud husband also shared that his “GODDESS of a wife” labored for 18 hours and delivered Izzy “like a champion.”
Aijia lateradmittedthat she had been “scared to do a home birth” because she thought something was wrong with her “since my 1st labor with Louie had gone sideways” and ultimately ended with a C-Section.
Izzy’s birth at home ended up being “beautiful” and not a “traumatic event at all.” Aijia called it “easily one of the most powerful things I have ever done in my life.”
