I held my second Future Self Mixer a couple days ago. One theme that stood out to me was the difference between how we see ourselves and how we're perceived by others.

​

The ladies that were there were bosses - movers and shakers in the community. Yet many shared how they didn't feel confident in themselves, or still struggled with imposter syndrome - even when it didn't come across to those they met.

​

As their greatness was reflected back to them by the other women, they brightened up. Sat up straighter. Claimed bigger dreams out loud.

​

That experience inspired this week's exercise.

​

I know you're not at a mixer right now, but you can still take a moment to see yourself. Like - really see yourself.

​

✉️ This week, I invite you to find a mirror and look at your face.

• Study your features. Nose. Mouth.
• Look deeply into your eyes.
• When it starts to get uncomfortable - keep looking.
• Then tell yourself "I'm proud of you." And mean it.

​

We spend so much time trying to get others to see us, when deep down we're really craving to just see ourselves. 🪞 So this week - do that for you.

​

That's it! I'll be back next Sunday with your next practice!

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!

📘 Order a signed copy of Soul Guides: Mystical Connections to Soul Guides and Divine Teachers. I am a contributing author in this book (published 2022), and have a few copies left. Once they're gone, they're gone! Buying from me (instead of Amazon) supports my small business, which I appreciate. Grab your copy here! I will sign and ship it to you!

❤️ Private Coaching. This is my most transformative experience, personalized to you. I help high-achieving female leaders and business owners stop overthinking and start embodying their leadership, so they can lead, speak, and show up with the kind of confidence and magnetism that can’t be taught in a textbook. You can read more on my website, or go straight to booking a no pressure 30 minute Connection Call!

✈️ Join me in Columbia! I'm considering hosting a group women's trip to Columbia in January/February 2027 (with the same guide that took me to Cuba). If you'd be interested, add your name to the waitlist! This does not commit you to the trip; it just helps me gauge interest before I fully commit.

📰 New here? Want to see former Embodied Edge exercises? They're all saved here for you to reference!

"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
