Soon after, the very same music executives who discovered Bruno Mars came calling. www.coatdefense.com Save 15% your order with code: MOMMA15 Thank you to our generous Got It From My Momma podcast friends!

| COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST CYNDI THOMSON | Got it From My Momma | Ep. 94 | 25 Feb 2025 | 00:52:58 | |
I’m a sucker for a country music power ballad, and I can still remember the moment the early 2000s hit "What I Really Meant to Say" stopped me in my tracks. Written and recorded by Cyndi Thomson—a stunning, talented artist from south Georgia with an angelic voice—this song took over the charts in no time. At the height of her career, she seemed to have it all, yet behind the success, Cyndi was battling crippling anxiety. After just one album, she made the difficult decision to step away from the music industry. www.coatdefense.com Save 15% your order with code: MOMMA15 Thank you to our generous Got It From My Momma podcast friends!
