In this episode, Mandy shares: 

  • The boy band she’d tour with again 
  • Why having parents who didn’t want to manage her was the secret to her success
  • How she managed to be unbothered by the pop industry’s comparison loop 
  • Her go-to practices for easing her public speaking anxiety 
  • A skimm of her latest project, The Boars’ Nest
