During the pandemic, Andrea found herself with time to focus on herself, for the first time in her life. This led to a dismantling all the beliefs she’d been taught through religion and society, and what it meant to be a woman. That journey led to a traumatic—but liberating—divorce, sparking deep healing and a return to her true self. Now, Andrea helps women navigate post-divorce life and major transitions, guiding them to see endings as profound opportunities for transformation, self-reclamation, and the creation of a life aligned with their deepest truth.
Whether you're contemplating leaving a marriage, reimagining your life, or seeking deeper emotional freedom, Andrea's perspective will guide you to trust yourself and take action—one step at a time.
