Tedeschi's reflections on her life and music offer insight into her artistry and personal growth. She once stated, "I'm happy right now but am always striving to do better... Today, I can sing with anybody. But I also know it's a gift." . Additionally, she expressed her perspective on control and collaboration, saying, "I'm an emotional person. Being a woman, you feel like, 'Oh my gosh, everything has to be just right, your kids and this and that.' But there's no way you can control everything. I'm used to being a control freak, and I've had to learn to just cut that out. Derek is such a pro at just dealing with all types of situations, so I actually really look to him as sort of guidance in a lot of ways—how to get through situations and how to plan and not stress." .
