You're not starting over.
You're learning to grow in new ground.
Life changed. Maybe suddenly. Maybe slowly. Either way, you didn't plan for this... but help is here.
I'm Andrea, a Life Transition Coach, Author of the book, 40 Days Lighter, and Speaker. I walk alongside emerging and creative women leaders navigating loss, change, and life's hard pivot moments, helping you clear the clutter, hear God with clarity, make purpose driven decisions, and step faithfully into your next chapter.
Do you feel like you're stuck between seasons?
Loss - of a person, position, perspective, or promise - showed up unexpectedly, without an invitation, and suddenly, a life you thought was set in stone shifted beneath your feet like sand.
Disoriented, disappointed, and maybe even devastated, you're struggling to define your new direction. But you aren't lost. In fact, you're in the right place at the right time.
Transition, tended with care, is where the most extraordinary growth takes root.
Three ways I can walk with you
Whether you need a thinking partner, a book for your journey, or a relevant voice with lived experience for your community, I'm here.

40 Days Lighter
This book is a companion for anyone weary from living weighed down by the clutter of life that can prevent us from clearly seeing our next step forward.
40 Days Lighter is a guided journey through the questions, the quiet, and the courageous act of shedding what no longer fits us and taking your next brave step into a life lived lighter.
You don't have to navigate your new normal alone.
Whether life changed suddenly, slowly, or subtly unnoticed over time, help is here.
I offer faith-building and fear-busting personalized coaching grounded in professional expertise, innovation- and theology-focused education, and my own transformative lived experience to help you to take your next step with clarity, courage, and purpose.
What do you do when life leaves you no other choice but to...
Plant a garden on the grave of your dream?
If we live long enough, we all find ourselves in a place of needing to start again.
In Fall 2024, I suffered a loss so great, I wasn't sure my own heart could go on beating. My loving, late husband Matthew, was suddenly snatched from this life by an unexpected medical event, and my world - the one in which we were raising two beautiful boys and moving towards our goals - instantly came crashing down. Or so I thought...
What I learned in the days and months that followed: when it feels like all you have are broken bits with which to build, it still means that YOU. HAVE. SOMETHING. All is not lost. After hitting the pause button on everything for a little more than a year, I'm ready to share my story so that people - just like you - will know that you can rebuild too.
Turning the page - or writing a new story altogether - requires courage, commitment, community, creativity, and a measure of clarity that comes from reflecting honestly, sharing our stories, and journeying with others. I want to partner with you as you learn to dream new dreams, think through your options, plan your next steps, and take action to live out your purpose!
