It sounds weird to say I've been on a journey to have more fun in my life. I mean, who wouldn't want more fun?

​

I've realized - it's not so much that I don't want fun. I admire those people whose laugh lifts a room, and genuinely seem lit up by their life.

​

It's more - I wasn't taught how to do it, so it doesn't come natural to me.

​

I was the serious kid. The kid who sat through Toy Story at 10 years old stifling laughter because "I was too mature to laugh."

​

What I also learned as a kid was to be:

• Perfect.
• Productive.
• High-achieving.

​

No one told me I needed to be these things. Based on the world I grew up in, I perceived I needed to be these things to be accepted by society.

​

As I've been on a journey to having fun, I've realized it's hard for me because it goes against who I thought I needed to be.

​

Fun is typically messy. It doesn't produce anything worthwhile. And often, it requires me to suck at something new.

​

That's why, when the idea of having fun comes up, my inner world would panic and bring me back to what was familiar: work. producing. achieving.

​

Still, I've been peeling some layers. Letting fun in here and there.

• Playing Memory with my kids before bed.
• Dropping work and going on solo hikes (because what fun is hearing "my feet hurt!" over and over.)
• Not just taking the kids to the jump park, but buying a pass for myself and actually participating (jumping off the swing into the air pits, riding the Zip Line, and playing Dodge Ball).

​

Letting loose not only energizes me, but also allows me to connect with my kids at a deeper level. Fun, after all, is their love language.

​

So maybe, as we begin our descent into the new year, consider a new resolution. Instead of the typical "eat better" or "lose weight," what about adding more fun to your life?

​

If you'd like support with that, read on for a program I'm putting together!

---

I received the download this week to offer a 3 month group program for the new year called From Type A to Type Play.

​

The intention is to help you see what's hiding in your inner world that's preventing you from fully having fun, and take small actions toward opening you up to more. As I like to say - we didn't zip on these skin suits to hustle and grind. It's okay to have fun along the way!

​

Throughout the 3 months, you’ll:

• Uncover the deep reason it’s hard for you to turn work off
• Diminish the guilt of taking time to yourself
• Redefine failure and perfection so you can stop holding yourself back from trying new things
• Explore new hobbies and creative outlets
• Experience a better connection with your kids
• Have more energy because you know how to energetically fill your cup

​

The program will run from January 6 through March 21. During that time there will be:

• 10 pre-recorded modules (30 minutes or less) with reflection exercises dropped into your email on Monday.
• 9 live group coaching calls (1 hour).
• A WhatsApp group for celebrations and questions in between the coaching calls.

​

Since I just received the info on Friday, I don't have a landing page up yet. That means, if you choose to join today, you get the lowest rate for the program!

​

Right now, the program is 4 monthly payments of $300 (so $1200 total), or a one-time payment of $1000. I'll even throw in a BONUS 45 minute 1-1 session with me if you jump in today, which is worth over $500 alone.

​

The landing page will go live sometime this week, which means the price will go up to $1500. Joining today is the most cost effective way to join this group, experience your own inner transformation, and receive support from me to kick off the New Year!

​

Payment Plan, please!

One time pay for me!

Other Ways I Can Support You

If you like this newsletter and would love to dive in further with me, here are a few ways to do that!

❤️ Private Coaching. This is my most transformative experience, personalized to you. I support business owners who are early in business or making some money in their business, but finding themselves at plateau. They know they're capable of more but are unsure how to get there... and stressed out as a result. If you're putting in the work and it's not achieving a result, then it's not more action you need. It's to align your energy (thoughts, emotions, actions) to the business you want. That's what we work on in coaching together! Learn more here about how I can support you.

🤍 Follow me on Social Media. I am most active on Instagram and LinkedIn.

"My experience with Andrea surpassed my expectations! She took the time to understand where I was at, what I was struggling with, and where I wanted to be. Through our coaching sessions she was able to tap into different thought patterns and beliefs that were holding me back and not allowing me to move forward. She gave me tactical and actionable tools to use as these thought patterns come up so I can move through them. Working with Andrea gave me the confidence to go after the life I want to be living and show up in this world the way I was meant to!" Monica
