Today, we’re Zooming to you from Austin, Texas as we are all practicing a social distancing lifestyle during the coronavirus pandemic. If you're feeling the covid blues, this is your episode!
Meet Andra Liemandt, the co-founder of The Mrs, a pop band formed by a group of moms who have been on a mission since 2013. That mission and a powerful music video featuring a magic mirror earned national recognition on Good Morning America and the Queen Latifah Show. All in spite of record labels saying "no" to their music based on ageism rather than merit.
Andra Liemandt is the drummer, singer, songwriter and philanthropist who will build you up, buttercup! Extended show notes, videos, and more at BackstageChats.com.
Special thanks to Kendra Scott, Cobi Collins of Mary Kay Cosmetics, and Lover Girl Cosmetics.

-- Facing vulnerability during the global pandemic
-- How Liemandt faced blatant ageism in the music industry, and worked around it
-- How her dance background contributed to her musical talents
-- Why she founded Kindness Campaign, focusing on youth's mental health
