What "hard" have you been choosing?

The Embodied Edge
❗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 Bring a friend for half price! When I was working on bringing in more abundance to my life, my coach challenged me with this: To try on clothes I wouldn't normally try on but felt drawn to. 👗 Including ones that were beyond my typical price range. So I did! I have "pressure to buy" when I go into a small boutique store, so I experimented in a larger department store. I grabbed clothes with colors and textures I was drawn to, but wouldn't normally choose. One shirt was an...
The Embodied Edge I was getting dressed the other day. I grabbed the pair on top - the one with the big hole on the side. They were okay enough, so I kept them in rotation. But as I pulled them on (and my thumb went through the hole), I thought… why am I keeping these? I have plenty of others. I can afford new underwear. Why am I settling for holey underwear? I think a lot about how the clues in our life are doorways into our unconscious. In this case, me keeping holey underwear is a clue...
The Embodied Edge 1 month away from the Abundant Self Mixer! I am a country music OG. 🤠 I'm talking Reba McEntire on cassette tape, seeing Garth Brooks when he was playing small stadiums, country-before-it-was-cool kind of OG. These past few years, though, something's shifted. 📱 My listening time has largely transitioned from music to podcasts. 🎵 And something within me decided it's not spiritual to listen to country. I should be listening to that high vibe stuff. Yet every now and then, I...
