Andrea Belita
Welcome to the Journal Project, covering the years 1990 to present. In this series, we’ll be diving into personal reflections, memories, and stories captured in journals and songs during my transformative years. I grew up without eletricity from the time I was 10 years old with an religious zealot for a father and a mother into herbalism. My father landed in prison during my Master's degree. My family life had been crumbling for years and now, in my adult years, I was having to rebuild. I married the love of my life, have three beautiful children, and have endured my own challenges through faith and my worldview. My story is one of vision for myself, turning ashes into gold, and crating a meaningful life. You’ll hear about pivotal life moments, raw emotions, and the inner dialogue that shaped my perspective at the time, plus commentary to give context and further thoughts. I'm literally reading through my journals and sharing my story with the world. This project is an invitation not only to revisit the past with me, but also to see how those early experiences ripple into the present and ultimately how to integrate, let go, and move on from hard things. Whether you lived through this era or are simply curious, I hope these recordings offer insight, connection, and maybe even a bit of nostalgia. This show is a portrayal of my crazy, beautiful, and tragically interesting life story, as told through my journals and songs. If you're here, then I guess you like getting to know someone on a deep level. I can resonate with that. list=PLsmgNOj6AUHFAKbVh7Dcy4m0RcO48bD7iSong Journeys: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsmgNOj6AUHFmgliNEAwTSTGPpFRqdUONAndrea Belita Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsmgNOj6AUHFAKbVh7Dcy4m0RcO48bD7iYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY3y73CvNQOHreej414iTNgTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hersongjourneysInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hersongjourneys/FB: https://www.facebook.com/andreabelitamusic/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6NbzocCbPGWFNDuOdncE2J

My name is Andrea Belita. I grew up in a bunkhouse we made in Idaho. No electricity, no separate rooms, and no privacy. We were preppers, hoarder style. An herbalist mother and a religiously extreme and dominating father, abuse was prevalent. Things got worse before they got better. Songwriting and journaling are how I got through life. Now I’m here sharing all of that with you. I bet you've been through some...

Have you ever looked at the moon and marveled at how we accept it completely—craters and all—without wishing it were any different? That's the profound realization I had during a solitary hike that transformed my relationship with self-acceptance.
Walking alone through rolling green hills at dusk, I was wrestling with familiar insecurities: the exhausting need to prove myself as a mother, businesswoma...
It's Okay is a song journey that reminds you it's alright to feel what you feel. Accept the feelings and that will help you figure out what to do next rather than feeling overwhelmed and out of control with your emotions.

Mazey came on the show a couple of weeks ago and shared her love of running at 17. She is 17 and ran a 50 miler trail race. She is stellar.

I am constantly blown away by her desire to learn and grow and become the person she wants to be. She reminds me a lot ...

She began truck driving three years ago when she dropped out of her classes to start driving semi trucks. Her low key obsession with semi-trucks led a friend of hers to help her recognize that she wasn't happy on the path she was on doing school and to give truck-driving a try. She t...
