What "hard" have you been choosing?

❗PS: The Abundant Self Mixer is this Thursday! Grab your ticket below!❗
Lately, I've been living by the saying "you choose your hard."
Many women are waking up to the fact that they don't like an aspect of the life they're in.
Yet starting over or building something new feels hard and scary.
It feels safer and easier to do nothing. Stay the same.
But I can tell you - there's nothing easy about staying in something that doesn't fit you anymore.
Staying the same is also hard. It's just a different kind of hard. One you never escape.
✨ At least the new, unknown, scary kind of hard holds the promise of a brighter future.
Leaving my steady paycheck, navigating health challenges with my son, and more… I'm no stranger to hard.
Through it all I've also learned that hard is temporary.
It's the price paid in exchange for an even better life.
So if you're facing something hard right now, I want you to know - I see you. 👀 And I'm walking it right there with you.
Last week, I did something I've been avoiding for years.
In a week, I feel lighter than I have in years.
And already things are moving in my direction. ↗️
I'm not out of the mud, but finally, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Whatever you're facing, I'm here for you, cheering you on. Take one step at a time and know - you've got this.
PS: I'm going to take a break from my Sunday emails as I navigate these next few weeks. BUT - Thursday's Abundant Self Mixer is coming up and going to be hot! You can still join us. Grab your ticket here!

🎙️ The latest from The Embodied Leader: 46. The Unconventional Ways I Raised my Abundance Frequency. If you think abundance is only about money, this episode will expand your definition—and your reality. In this personal conversation, I share the unconventional ways I raised my abundance frequency, from trying on clothes to working from hotel lobbies and walking boutique stores like I belonged there (before I ever spent a dollar). Listen here, on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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.

"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

The Embodied Edge Someone this week asked me to describe my perfect soul clients. I said, “They’re leaders who’ve read the books. They’re incredibly self-aware. They know they have negative thought patterns - they just don’t know what to do about them.” 🍥 One client was taught by a former therapist to tell her negative thoughts to F*** off. 🍥 Others are taught to yell at their saboteur, then take the action they’re avoiding. Those ideas work if your main goal is to push through...
The Embodied Edge The term “playing small” gets thrown around a lot. Conceptually, it makes sense - doing less than the highest you’re capable of. But pinpointing it for yourself is tricky. I like to say it’s when fear gets wrapped in logic. Your excuses sound reasonable… but they’re really fear in disguise. As a Human Design Projector-type, I can easily spot this in others. But it’s much harder to see in myself. Thankfully, I had coffee with someone this week who pointed out not one but two...
The Embodied Edge A client once told me she was fascinated by how openly I talk about my failures. That wasn’t always me. As a recovering Type-A perfectionist, I used to hide anything that looked like a mistake. The moment that really hit home was after my first baby. We were living with my in-laws while our house was being built, and I felt uncomfortably exposed as I fumbled my way through the lessons of new motherhood. Fast forward to now: I've shared publicly about a bad investment I made....
