Song Alchemy
This show is a deep dive into the alchemy of turning raw life experiences into powerful songs that heal, impact, and touch the lives of those who create them or listen to them. Whether it's a famous artist or an unknown songwriter, the power of music to meet you in your heart and move you is unparalleled.Let's dive into the alchemy of healing, music, and impact.
Season 2 is an exploration of Andrea telling the stories that inspired some of the songs she wrote. The one lesson I learned from this period of time was that if I free my story and stop hiding, I free myself.
The first 19 episodes were during her time as the business creator of Swet Seat. These episodes are about athletic, adventurous women that Andrea interviewed while building her product and company Swet Seat. Swet Seat sold in 2022, so if you still need a seat cover, head over to swetseat.com to support the new owner.
