As you probably have heard by now, I’m going through a major life change (if you missed that minisode in July, check out episode 540 HERE.) A few weeks ago I released a minisode (episode 586 HERE) about how I’m getting through it, and today’s episode is part two where I’m taking you with me around more of the how. In this minisode, I’m revealing what I’m doing to get myself to where I want to go. I’m hoping it can be helpful for you to see what the work looks like in real time. First up, is getting really clear on what I want. I’ve broken my life into parts, and every day I do some journaling focusing on those parts: My kidsMy homeMy income My healthMy love life As well as what I’m grateful for. I also talk about how in this part of my life, for the first time, I’m betting on myself. I’m leaning into all parts of myself, which includes all of my emotions. I’m feeling my feelings full out. The joy, the sadness, the anger and sometimes rage, the hope, the fear too. I’m learning to really, truly trust myself. For once. And lastly, I’m looking for ways to do my own somatic work (besides dancing, which I’ve been leaning on for a while now) that will help get me into my body– I’m toying around with the idea of starting erotic dance, or a physical challenge like straddle to handstand. Check out the short minisode to hear more about it! Resources: Sign up for my new group coaching program, Write Your Way Through ItBook recommendations:I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?

“Maybe you can’t see it yet, but you can feel it. You can sense it. Somewhere deep within, you know—something is happening that you can’t quite see. Energy that is working in your favor. Tiny synchronicities aligning in perfect timing. A shift happening in the universe that you can feel deep down in your bones.🤯 And your thinking mind may still have doubts, but your beating heart knows—this is real. What’s meant for you is coming. You are seen, and you are being taken care of in ways you can’t even imagine. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. And right now, your only job is to keep making space.🦋 Keep letting go of what no longer serves you–the limiting beliefs, the old stories, the heavy baggage you’ve been carrying that isn’t meant to come with you into this next chapter. Make space for what’s meant for you. Make space for what’s coming.🌌 Soon, you’ll understand how everything that has happened has led you to this moment. Soon, you’ll see. This whole universe is about to open up for you.”— Zanna Keithley***********************If you tune in to this week's episode you’ll hear me tell you why this post resonated so much with me. I summarize what the last three years have been like for me, while giving a small update on the ending of my marriage. I also share that my business experienced the biggest hit and setback in its lifetime starting in 2020 and I’m just now trying to climb my way out. I was too sick and too emotionally distracted to put my mind and heart into it. I’m ready now. It’s a short episode (under 20 min) and the next minisode will be part two, where I talk about how I’m putting Zanna’s message above to work in my life, and how I’m intentionally moving into the next new phase of my life. Resources:Zanna Keithly on IG1:1 Coaching with AndreaSubscribe to the newsletter list to be notified when Andrea’s weekly live streams begin in March! Private Coaching with AndreaBook recommendations:I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?

With so much advice out there on journaling, and with so many options, I thought it might be helpful to talk about my daily journaling routine. In this short episode, you’ll hear me riff on how I’ve been inconsistent with my own journaling practice, and how grace is the key to keep getting back into it when you need it. My current journaling practice takes me less than 5 minutes a day (and tbh, I don’t do it every day), but based on my history, can certainly make a huge impact in both my personal and professional life. Last, you’ll hear me make a special announcement 😉Book recommendations:I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?
