Amanda Pants of The Meringues

Amanda Pants of The Meringues talks to Scream Therapy host Jason Schreurs about how surviving a troubled youth helped her move forward with her mental health and her work in the education system. Amanda's friendship with a future bandmate was key to her going to school and ended up with them starting The Meringues together.
