CK Bootsy, the wild half of the Dream Catcher Pod heart, a firecracker and the girl who has helped to bring out my fun side these past few years! I met Carli about 4 years ago in Nashville and after being acquaintances for a few of those years I asked her to come on board the Mandy team to help me out with some projects for my music. Since then we have had many road trips around the states including to Loveland Ohio, Atlanta Georgia, Chattanooga Tennessee and our most recent Dream Catcher Adventure across the states to Denver Colorado then up to the beautiful Bozeman Montana. I know for a fact that my journey would not look the same without this girl by my side! She is the ultimate cheerleader in any project that she is a part of and it’s been so amazing to watch her blossom into such an amazing part of the music industry. I am so incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication to our podcast and know without a doubt I couldn’t do it without her. I am so blessed to call this girl one of my best friends and am so so so looking forward to seeing where our DC Adventure takes us next!!

Todde Funk

It’s so crazy how the Universe will place people in your life at specific times for specific reasons. That’s how it was meeting and becoming friends with Todde. We initially met 3 years ago randomly and added each other on Instagram where we mildly kept up with each others lives. Fast forward and I am so so grateful that he decided to reach out last fall where we decided to connect over lattes in Nashville. That conversation changed my life where we talked all things music, culture, spirituality and about our ancestors. It was that conversation that lead me to open up my family tree where I learned some pretty amazing facts. Todde is a phenomenal musician and has been on the road as a main member of an incredible Christian artist. He has traveled the world, has made friends from all walks of life and continues to inspire everyone on a daily basis. We’ve had some amazing conversations over ramen (which he introduced me to) and I am so excited to see where his journey takes him next. He is a true Dream Catcher and his journey continues to grow and blossom in magical ways!

Loui & Christie Miller

Okkayyyyy where do I even start with these beautiful gems? We met on instagram years ago and from the very beginning there has been an inevitable connection from our love of music, magic and the moon. Loui and Christie aka Millers Daughter are so beautifully talented in music, their voices are pure magic and they are so talented on the guitar. Through all the crazy times within the world we have always stayed connected and offered support even though we have never met before and they live in the UK. I have family history that traces back to England and I secretly hope that we are long lost cousins although I know in my heart we are already sisters of the moon! I am so honored to call them friends and look forward to the day when we can officially meet and play our first show together

Miss Maddi, this girl is the definition of an angel! She took her passion for movement and created a beautiful dance studio to uplift young girls in our hometown. The dedication and love that she has to inspire others makes her such a gem and I am so grateful to have her as a friend! I have always thought of her to be a true inspiration and after many years of us talking about doing a collaboration we were able to team up last summer for her end of year recital where I got to perform “Dream Catcher” while her students danced around me. It was beautiful and allowed me to truly get the vision of what my new song meant. The beautiful community that Maddi has created will last forever no matter what creative outlet she chooses to pursue. I am so incredibly proud of this girl and cannot wait to see where this journey takes her!

Tamara Potuck

This beautiful soul spends her days making everyone around her feel stunning and I know this first hand! One of my best friends suggested I book an appointment with Tamara – I am a bit picky about who I have to color my hair as I used to be a hairstylist myself when I lived in Canada (just a little fun fact) – But right off the bat Tamara knocked it out of the park! Beyond the fabulous hair color and cut I got that day was the most positive, vibrant, encouraging energy I’ve ever felt. The conversations had, the heart to hearts and all the light that she passes along with every single one of her clients radiates and is a strong testament being that two of my closest friends have been going to her for over 8 years. I am just so inspired by her dedication to her craft and the love that she pours into her beautiful salon on music row in Nashville. Also it’s no surprise that she does hair for a few familiar faces in country music and gets to travel around the states styling them for big red carpet events! It’s amazing to know that a part of her craft is very much a part of my Dream Catcher journey as she is the creative behind my gorgeous hair color and even coaching me through styling for my photoshoots and videos!

Jeremy Brown

When I think of Dream Catchers around me I don’t just think of the amazing women catching their dreams, I also have some amazing guy friends who stand out as well! Jeremy is one of them. Honestly one of the kindest, most hard working people to have ever entered the Music City limits. He had his eyes set to work in the music industry and how phenomenal is it that he landed his dream job as head of security for the Grand Ole Opry! This job title has taken him on such an incredible journey headlining security for some of the most amazing events and for some incredible artists. It’s been fun to witness him live out his dream from the outskirts and it’s such an honor to be considered a friend and get to experience a glimmer of the Ryman and Grand Ole Opry events from his perspective. It was a dream of mine to see one of my absolute favorite bands, REO Speedwagon, in concert and when they came through Nashville Jeremy made that dream come true for me! I am so humbled by his dedication to his job but also his phenomenal heart that goes into his daily actions. He is the true definition of a Dream Catcher and make sure to give him a “hello” if you ever cross his path on a trip down to Nashville!

Introducing 30 Days of Dream Catchers!

I am beyond excited to announce that my song Dream Catcher is out! It has been such an incredible journey and I can’t believe the day is finally here. Writing, recording and releasing this song has been a game changer for the vision of my music career and personal life. It is not only about me catching my dreams but has allowed me to fully embrace those around me catching theirs as well! I am beyond blessed to have the chance to work with an amazing team who has brought this vision to life and this is just the beginning.

To truly show the meaning behind this song I wanted to do something special to highlight individuals in my life that have been an inspiration for me. Every day for a month I am going to introduce you to a different person on my blog that I believe is a dream catcher. Check back daily to see all the beautiful people that I know will inspire you too!
