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.Popl: https://poplme.co/qJa7A7z3YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?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

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, businesswoman...

This is about a first kiss that ended up being a downer (go figure). And not just any first kiss. A first kiss at 24 years old.

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. After I interviewed her, she asked if she could interview me because she thought that I was so interesting. That's always an honor, so I was like, Yeah! 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 ...

Mazey was an inspiration. She was invited to run in a 50 miler that some friends were putting on and instead of doing 50 miles, she decided she was going to plan on 35 miles. It was a trail race at night and the most she had run in perparation for it at one time was 8 miles. She did the 35 miles and was hooked. She became more formal about her interest in running ultras and signed up for a race local to Texas...
Shelby was a whole lot of fun to talk to. She is smart, strong, focused, and ready to take on whatever challenge comes her way. 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...

Lindsey Brown is doing her part to spread light. She tells an amazing story of how she performed better in a triathlon simply because she chose to smile at everybody along the way. She said it was her attitude that changed the game for her.
She's done three half iron Man's and was about to do a full iron Man when cova 19 happened and the race was canceled. Like so many of you, she made the best of it. Sh...
Laurie has competed in the Olympic trials for marathon running four separate times beginning in 2008. It was her determination and goal setting that sent her down the path to competing in the Olympic trials. First, she wanted to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Amanda is an attorney turned stay-at-home mom who is adventurous all the way. If she had her way, she'd live in a tiny home on a piece of land, but in the meantime she's doing all she can to provide the experiences that her heart desires and that helps shape her kids. She and her husband sold their home and headed out on the road for a year. Brave and adventurous with zero RV experience in the past, they didn...
How Andrea went from no background growing up in music to writing songs, recording an album, and going on tour. I'm your host and I consider myself a very creative person. I've always loved to sing and did choirs in high school along with church choirs. I did a few solos, but my confidence grew in college. Songwriting became something that I fell in love with in college after a few experiences that led up to ...
I wanted to bring Margaret back onto the show because I got a lot of questions from people about details on how she actually went from the marathon to 120 mile race two months later. She is a power woman on a mission to complete and do well whatever race she pursues. She wins and places almost every time. She has grit and determination by the bucketload and once she sets her mind to something, that's it. She ...
