I Give People Permission to Change their Life
….
Checked all the boxes, but still feeling bleh?
Afraid to quit your secure corporate job?
Questioning everything, including your Mother’s advice?
Not even sure what you really want anyway?
TRUTH: Your cage opens from the inside out.
It’s time to shake off the shoulds and go your own way. You can do it and I can help.
I’m Andrea
Braveheart Coach. Permission Giver. Podcaster. Author. Speaker. Dancer.
Making a series of weird, yet wise choices across my life--Peace Corps at 30, polyamory at 40, moving to Costa Rica at 46, (and many more)--while sometimes a total pain-in-the-ass, have led to my own HOMECOMING. No quarterback. No queen. Still wearing a crown.
Every time, I’ve begun by giving myself permission to go my own way. With marriage, parenthood career and my life.
The result is FREEDOM.

What is Permission anyway?

Kelly K. | Former HR Director, Current PhD Student in Russian Literature
“When I met Andrea, I was feeling completely trapped. I felt like I’d done all the right things but wasn’t feeling the right way, and was afraid to deviate from that path. Admitting what I actually wanted was alarmingly difficult! Andrea helped me stay the course and I’m so grateful.”
