“Let’s stop being a part of the problem by just talking about the problem in circles of women. Let’s talk about the solution and what that might look like.”
- Andrea Owen

“We don’t give assignments for the sake of the assignment. The assignment is about what’s going to happen during the whole process. That’s where the learning happens.”
- Andrea Owen
I first discovered Andrea when I was just starting coaching school and her message resonated deeply with me. I loved her energy, her humor, her propensity to tell it like it is and her sass. I still love all of those things and I am so honored and excited to share this amazing woman with you.
There’s a thread that weaves through this episode. It’s present when we discuss the sense of perfectionism that kept her off competitive tennis courts as a kid, and again when she recounts the struggle of dealing with the grief of losing her dad while sober. Andrea and I discuss the power of embracing the difficult times, of feeling the feels, recognizing how resilient we truly are and the opportunity to uplevel through grief. I hope this episode resonates as strongly with you as it did with us as we recorded it!
“The term alcoholic is not a term of endearment; it has such a label and a stigma and shame attached to it.”

“We live in a culture that is obsessed and worships alcohol. When you quit drinking, that's when you see it.”
- Andrea Owen
