Personal growth is funny.

The more we grow, the easier it becomes to forget where we started, while hyper-focusing on all the places we aren’t yet.

For high achievers, that can turn into a constant sense of being “behind.”

Or worse… the feeling that you’re not growing at all.

And that’s brutal when you’re used to being measured, evaluated, and exceeding standards.

One of the most reliable ways I’ve found to notice real growth isn’t by measuring against something. It’s by noticing how your response changes over time.

That showed up for me this week.

I got my hair cut on Thursday. ✂️ When I got home, I noticed it was uneven from left to right.

This isn’t the first time that’s happened.

The last time was a year ago, right before I went to Cuba. Back then (and many times before), I ugly cried, spiraled, and asked the Universe, “Why does this keep happening to me?”

Once I exhausted myself, I reached out to the salon to ask what could be done.

This time was different. I noticed the unevenness… and nothing happened inside me. No spiral, story, or victim energy.

I took a photo and texted my stylist: “Is there a way to get this corrected before you leave?”

It didn’t dawn on me until hours later that this was growth.

Not because the haircut was perfect - but because I didn’t abandon myself in the process.

This is what it looks like to take your power back. ⚡

To not let external circumstances hijack your inner operating system.

To remain in charge, even when something in your body could have taken over.

This is why body awareness is such a core part of my work.

I help you understand how your body speaks - so you can regain authority over the thousands of impulses, reactions, and protective patterns running your life beneath the surface.

This is one thing we’ll be working with inside the Future Self Mixer.

Not forcing change, bypassing emotion, or "positive thinking" your way higher.

But learning how to be the woman who can stay present, grounded, and self-led, even when the body start getting uncomfortable.

If you want to experience what this kind of growth actually feels like - in your body, not just your head - I’d love to have you there!

👉 Join the Future Self Mixer!

P.S. And yes - it’s also genuinely fun.

There’s laughter, lightness, and the kind of ease that reminds you growth doesn’t have to be heavy to be powerful.

"Andrea was so plugged in to me and my higher self that I always felt safe enough to make big discoveries and big revelations. I wasn't charging enough for my services and she showed me, in many different ways, why that wasn't serving me, and guided me into a self-discovery journey that empowered me to make lasting change with my pricing. This change was made to honor my ancestors and all the sacrifices they made to get me where I am today."
