Who Are Anxious, Fed Up, or Just Plain Worn Out.

You’re smart. Ambitious. Driven.

You work hard and accomplish your goals. People count on you - clients, colleagues, customers, patients, students, your family and friends. They know they can trust you to listen, to help, to follow through, to get things done – and done well. From the outside it looks like you’ve got it all together, but on the inside, you’re fearful, worried, and exhausted.

You’ve done everything you were supposed to do, but you’re still not happy.

You don’t know how sustainable it is to keep living life as you have been. You’re exhausted, afraid of failure, and worried about the future. You doubt your abilities and fear that others will discover you’re an imposter. You worry about losing what you’ve built in your life. The fear of failure is always lurking in the background. So, what do you do? You work more, you work harder, and you go on ignoring that small voice inside. Deep down, you feel like you’ll just never measure up.

It’s time to let go of the conditioned beliefs that hold you back from who you really are.

Hi, I’m Andy, and I help women+ professionals create authentic lives of balance, peace, and purpose.

As a former lawyer and a Jill-of-many trades along my own winding career path, I know what it’s like to feel stressed out, anxious, and dissatisfied with a life I’ve worked so hard to create.

I’m passionate about helping women+ professionals tap into their wisdom, discover and own their true self, and transform the way they work and live.

live-li-hood: from Old English līflād meaning ‘way of life’.

More than just the work you do to secure the necessities of life, creating a livelihood is about building a life of purpose, meaning, and satisfaction. It’s about how you show up in the world and whether that SELF is fully alive and deeply authentic.

A Trusted Collaborator

Let’s explore and understand what really matters to you at this stage of your life. Let’s discover what’s off-track and acknowledge how it got that way. Let’s find your own best way to move forward.

As we work, we’ll focus on your existing strengths and build new resources to address the challenges that keep you stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction. You’ll learn to recognize, set, and maintain healthy boundaries in your work and your life. And we’ll work to unhitch your self-worth from your title, accomplishments, or productivity. Our work together will guide you to regain access to the deeper parts of yourself where you can trust that you are worthy, no matter what you accomplish, how much you give, or what you choose to do in the world.

My Hopes for You

If our work together is successful, you will feel more fully resourced and resilient in your work and your life. You will feel calm, confident, and worthy as a whole person in and beyond your work. You will experience greater peace and balance in your multiple roles. You will gain a more realistic perspective on the demands and responsibilities that you decide to take on or to forego, no matter what they are.
