Hi, I’m Andrea,
Until 2019, I spent three decades working for the Federal Government, Yes, I had one of those “Good Government Jobs.” Initially, it was “good”.
But as I evolved my definition of good no longer matched society’s standard of good. As the years past the fullest potential of my days was drained every moment I continued to played small and safe doing what looked right but no longer felt right.
So when an early retirement option came sliding across my desk, it was the flashing sign my logical brain needed. I was free to develop an exit strategy to follow my inner yearning for a deep life-cleanse, a reinvention.
My ultimate turning point?
When I could no longer deal with the gnawing despair and sense of hopelessness as I sat on the edge of my bed at the end of the day, wondering if there would ever be more to my life.
Would my life ever count for something of significance?
My big dreams were suffocating within the confines of my small, unfulfilled life. A small life supported by limiting beliefs and fear. There was a playlist that constantly held me back, “You’re too old. It’s too late”, “You have a “good job, be grateful.”
My soul hungered for a life where what I did really mattered and I could experience the freedom of stepping into a more abundant life, one that unveiled the hidden treasure chest of dying dreams, unused gifts and untapped potential within myself as well as others.
I made a decision to risk everything that was sure and comfortable for everything that could bring meaning and joy to my life. I chose to set new standards of what a well-lived life looked like FOR ME. And free me from the societal restrictions of my generation of staying uncomfortably comfortable in my “good job.”
I set out to participate in my own rescue.
In this world, there are few who will encourage you to choose a life that could take you in a new direction midlife and risk all that is sure and comfortable for what is new, exciting, and fills your soul.…
Fortunately, I was able to encourage myself as well as take in the encouragement of others who saw the potential and power I was holding back.
Now I live to encourage others to believe that it is never too late for a fresh start and new direction at any age…..! God has a plan and a purpose for you even at midlife.
A question for midlife women
Here’s an important question for the midlife woman at a confusing crossroads who STILL hasn’t developed a “strategy to make the next season the most exciting season of your life:
What’s the difference between creating a life-strategy with intention so you have the emotional energy to conquer your challenges, the tools to move forward with unshakable faith, and the courage to act on your greatest vision yet?
…and just surviving in a life that scatters the power of your purpose and leaves you feeling secretly guilty because your true talents remain buried or locked away?
As a certified life coach who uses the Core Energy Coaching method…
I see how slippery the up and down path to success becomes when we lose a firm handle on the feelings and emotions that sideline us in life instead of supporting the life we desire.
With that said, you’ve not made it this far to settle for a limited focus on success that leaves you shaky and unsure because it ignores your deep and natural need for life’s purpose.
You have the choice to be the Expert Authority on how to direct your own life:
1
Even if people around you muddy your vision whenever you dream out loud about doing MORE
2
Even if the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” sentiment was your family’s motto
3
Even if 25 years ago, the pre-set, socially-approved path felt like a relief from the whirlwind of an uncertain world
Hello! I’m Andrea, an Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) trained Life coach recognized by the International Coaching Federation.
Although that’s not incredibly important, THIS is:
I’m a woman who strived endlessly for years building a career that I hoped I’d love forever. Inspired by my driving need to make sure I could give my son what he needed to succeed.
Soon, constant career disappointments, changes in life roles, and a broader understanding of who I am, what I’m meant to do with my life flipped the script on the societal norms I’d been raised by. I’m sure you can agree that what you loved in your 20’s can be vastly different than what you love entering midlife.
I realized my gift is to guide women through major life breakthroughs and transformations so they reach their God-given potential. After 35 years as a contracting professional managing multi-million dollar contracts with the Department of Defense, GSA and NASA, I opted to retire early and start Next Season Strategies.
Finally, I do what brings me joy, being a transition coach helping women create their new life in their later seasons.
Without being bound by the norms that say:
- If you have a “good government job” you stay there until ……
- “You should be grateful for that job” even though the job sucks the life out of you, leaving you unfulfilled, unhappy and stressed out.
I guide women through the roller coaster of emotions (all of which are normal) associated with becoming an empty-nester, making mid-life career changes, changes in long-term relationships, preparing for and living in retirement, and many other mid-life transitions.
Your Reinvention should mean you grow beyond those places, roles and relationships. No longer letting circumstances or situations fashion your identity and self-worth.
I’m here to show midlife women how to participate in their own rescue and live empowered by showing her how to shift from outdated mindsets to one that supports who she desires to be.
If the fire to do this wasn’t so lit up within me…you’d most likely find me knee-deep in a women’s ministry or somewhere helping women understand that they are not limited by what was, but are fully capable of all they can dare to envision and execute to make a reality.
Coaching is my life purpose, (my main spiritual gift is Exhorter, one who encourages and guides people to their fullest potential.) It’s what I was built for, encouraging, challenging, confronting, and guiding women just like you to be the best, most authentic fulfilled version of themselves.
As a coach, I’m here to awaken what has been lying dormant so you can use it to build the elements of your life on the level you desire. Everything that you need to have what you want has been waiting within you.
Within the structure of my coaching work, Next Season Strategies, my brand of humor, compassion and sheer desire to see you make your mark in the world, always leads to a professional level of objectivity but leaving no room for you to make excuses for not transforming your life.
You no longer need to quietly press “PAUSE” but instead move full steam ahead to make the next season your best season.
Orchestrate a whole life UPGRADE of your choosing — One that is sustainable and speaks authentically to who you are and what you want out of life.
The Next Season Strategy method vs. other life coaching methods
Other Life Coaching Methods
- You’re forced to measure your objectives and success using a general standard determined by what’s commonly expected or deemed “acceptable”
- Your personality (desire and motivation) is used for a logical plan to get what you want but you lack support for the times when you’re not 💯
- You’re given tasks based on outdated goal-achieving concepts that don’t align with your energy which makes you feel like you’re attending an onstage presentation — NOT collaboration to build your Fresh life-experience
The Next Season Strategies Method
- Your unique circumstance and situation is charted to see what it CAN turn out to be — not set to what it should be according others’ standards
- You receive a tailored-to-you energy perception report so you understand how you can choose to approach each goal so it gets done the way only you can do it
- You engage with a designed self-development experience based on the Real You so the practical methods you use to push forward in a way that keeps you motivated to continue to keep becoming the best version of who you choose to become. And are basic tools you can use wherever you are
A reinvented woman never remains the unknowing victim of a life-reducing social structure
“…What made less sense was staying where I felt stifled and living below my greatness”
When the situations have fallen short, keeping you far from where you know you’ve got the talent (and the character) to be…
Break out!
