In this episode, Andrea Lee Matthies explores the threshold between endings and expansions, sharing how shifts in identity and creative expression can open new possibilities for growth. As she transitions her podcast into its new chapter under a new brand (House of Andrea, launching next week!), Andrea reflects on the energetic containers we create for ourselves - how old containers can limit us, and how consciously designing bigger spaces allows for expansion, higher-frequency work, and deeper connection to our soul and gifts.
She speaks candidly about: how the containers you’ve created for yourself can limit your expansion, why stepping into higher-frequency work feels both exhilarating and uncomfortable, and how embracing your full identity - including your name, your creative power, and your soul gifts - anchors you in your next chapter. If you’ve ever felt yourself expanding beyond the life, labels, or roles that once defined you, this episode will feel like permission to create a new container worthy of all that you are.

Andrea Matthies (00:00):
I'm Andrea Lee Matthies, Writer, Photographer,
and Clairvoyant Medium, and thisis the Bold, Brave Woman Project.
This podcast is a living, breathing,unfolding of what it really
means to step into our becoming.
Born from the ashes of a failed YouTubechannel, this weekly podcast brings you
real unfiltered moments of failure, ofbravery, and of deep intuitive knowing,
(00:25):
so that you too can step into who you arebecoming with even more trust and bravery.
Let's dive in.
Welcome back to another episodeof the Bold, Brave Woman Project.
This episode is really specialbecause this is actually going to
be the last episode in the currentBold, Brave Woman Project Branding.
(00:49):
And this is really exciting becauseI have been contemplating a lot over
the last couple of weeks around whatit is that I really wanna do with
this podcast, and particularly asI move into this new artist era.
What it is that I wanna do to bringall these beautiful pieces together.
(01:10):
And so I made a really big decision inthe last couple of days that I'm shifting
the branding from the Bold, Brave WomanProject to a brand new energy, a brand
new entity as well called the Houseof Andrea, and this feels really good.
By the way, it's really windywhere I am at the moment.
(01:32):
So if you start to hear thebeautiful sound of the trees
in the background pay no mind.
I think the universe and the,the environment at the moment is,
uh, cheering on and, you know,bringing these beautiful gusts of
wind in support of this big change.
But the house of Andreaactually came to me.
Um, it was in the middle of the night.
(01:55):
I had had a series of conversations withsome mentors that I work with around this
work and this new era and phase that I'mstepping into around the embodied energy
of the artist and what that means for me.
And I was starting to think aboutenergetic containers, and sometimes
(02:16):
when we are in old identities or we'vebeen through certain experiences and
we set these energetic containersof ourselves, of our lives, when
we wanna step into something new.
That old container brand identity,whatever it is that we have
built sometimes isn't big enough.
(02:38):
It's not stretchy enough to holdthe new energy that we are stepping
into, and I was starting to feel thathappen with the original branding
of the Bold, Brave Woman Project.
Now, don't get me wrong.
This brand and this podcast startedfrom a absolute beautiful place.
(03:00):
It was the sourcing of braveness ofboldness to, not give up to make something
of a failure to realize and step intothe energy of being bold and being brave.
Starting a podcast, talkingabout some deep breakthroughs and
(03:21):
incidences that were happening inmy life to keep walking forward
and share those with the world too.
Honestly, just connect withyou on a deeper level to let
you know you're not alone.
If you're going through any ofthis deep stuff, you are not alone.
And I see you.
I see you in your bravery.
I see you in the depth of despair,and I honor you too because
(03:44):
this life, this being human is.
It's such a tricky one at times.
It's so complicated.
It's so heavy, but it is also sopowerful and so magical at times.
And so when the Bold, Brave Woman ProjectContainer was set, it was perfect.
It was what I needed at thetime to step into my bravery.
(04:06):
But as I've gone through this rapidtransformation over the last couple
of months, so many more piecesof me are starting to surface.
So many more depths of desires ofinterests, of things that I really want
to step into and start expressing havestarted to reveal themselves, and I
(04:28):
realized the container that I set whenI was in that really broken, beaten down
space of the failed YouTube channel.
Sourcing that power that I had at the timethat's no longer big enough to hold the
energy and to create this container ofstretch that I know I need to step into.
(04:53):
Now that I'm moving into thisnew era of photographer, of
channeler, of energy worker.
of all of the things that I ammoving into at the moment, the
Bold, Brave Woman Project container.
I've outgrown that and it needs to shift.
And so I connected with a couple ofmentors last week to really help me unpack
(05:18):
what it is that is being created here.
And after I had those sessions, I fellasleep and was woken up in the middle
of the night being shown that thisnew container that I need to create.
Has to be something that is very,very stretchy, is a higher level of
frequency, but is big enough for meto be able to expand into, because
(05:43):
sometimes when we set containers forourselves, we set containers based on
where we're at and what feels comfortable.
Mean, we set containers of safetyessentially, so that we have these
beautiful boundaries of having spacesto move into, to flow into, to move
around, to step into our power, butwithin a limit that feels comfortable.
(06:08):
We.
And I'm realizing with this nextera of really becoming an artist who
can infuse source codes into theirart, who can translate energy and
ether and messages from source intoeither photography sessions into.
(06:29):
Art pieces or channeled messages,it's going to require a much higher
frequency and a much bigger spacebecause where I am right now is stepping
into, this is like the beginning.
It's like that first step that we takeonto the journey of where we are going,
but we need to have that space to grow.
(06:51):
Even if it feels scary, even if it feelsreally, really uncomfortable, it is so
much more in alignment with who we'rebecoming and in service of ourselves
to create containers that stretchus that almost not terrify because
that tips into a different frequencyand a different energy, but fills us
(07:14):
with this sense of I need to expand.
I need to expand evenif I don't know how to.
This container that I'm creatingfor myself out of my own free will,
out of my love, out of my intention.
This space has me, it's solid.
It's my container that I create,but it is also gonna ask me to rise.
(07:37):
And so in the middle of the night, myangelic team woke me up with this idea.
It was about 2:00 AM this tapon the shoulder, energetic.
Tap on the shoulder.
That was like the containeris the house of Andrea.
Now it's interesting because over thelast few months I've had this house of
(07:58):
type energy and these words flow to mein different formats when I'm thinking
about different offers or partnershipsor collaborations or things that I have
been creating around this new artistidentity and house of has come up a lot.
But it's also felt super stretchyand super almost out of reach.
(08:21):
It's like, no, that's like thehouse of Chanel or the house
of luxury or the house of, um.
These big, beautiful, youknow, fancy elite level brands.
Like who am I to step into a containeror a, a brand or a name that is, you
(08:42):
know, synonymous with some of theseother elite level, high level brands.
Like who am I to do that?
And so there has been a lot of.
Hinting from the universe that thiswas a container that I needed to set,
but also, oh, but I couldn't do that.
Like who am I to do that?
(09:03):
And it's taken a lot of.
Time really to cultivate through that,to sit with that, to allow that to
reveal what it is that needs to shift.
Because we are all these incrediblebeings in these amazing, beautiful bodies
(09:23):
that are having this human experience.
Yet we let our minds and ourcircumstances and expectations.
Limit and forget that incrediblepotential and power that exists within us.
And soon we start tellingourselves, no, I'm not.
I'm not for that.
I, I can't stretch that far.
(09:44):
That is not for me.
These types of narratives start toroot and take hold in our minds.
And you say them to yourself.
We think them to yourself, or evenjust energetically allow them to play
in our energy and before we know it.
It's real.
It's a belief.
It is an anchor.
(10:04):
It is something that wemove through the life.
We move through our lives existingby, and that's crazy because being
of source and from source and havingall of this incredible, powerful
energy exists within us, we should behaving and creating and trusting and
(10:25):
ultimately giving ourselves permission.
To create the containers that hold allof this magic, because as soon as we
create the container, the magic and thethe essence, it has somewhere to go.
Finally, it's supported withina container, within a space that
doesn't just exist within us, butit can start to move and in whatever
(10:48):
way that is for us, whether that'sin our career, whether that's in
our mothering, in our family, in.
Our voices the way that we wanna expressor share our mission with the world.
This container all ofa sudden creates space.
For that to happen.
And the more we start to fluidly moveand express within that space, the more
(11:12):
we, the more we start to build trustand a reminder of what we're capable of.
And then the more trust that we have.
The more energy we can pour out.
And it becomes this beautiful cycleof trust and outpouring, trust and
outpouring within this container thathas space enough for us to expand.
(11:33):
and of course when we getto the edges that expansion.
We can just make the container bigger.
And this is the thing that I amrealizing now, is that we create
containers for ourselves at each chapter.
That we are in our lives based on wherewe're at, based on what we wanna achieve.
But we can't stay in those containers.
(11:55):
You know, I sometimes look back atdifferent periods of my life, and every
now and then you have that fleetingthought of, oh, I wish I was back there.
I wish I was still in that moment,in that time with those people.
But we look at who you are now andthe incredible wealth of experience,
the things that you have witnessed,that you have moved through.
(12:18):
There's no way those oldercontainers, those nostalgic
back in the past containerscould hold all that you are now.
It's absolutely not possible.
And so we, we might look back on withthat nostalgia, with that energy of,
I wish I was still back there, butit's not feasible and it can sometimes
(12:43):
be really difficult to let that go,particularly if the time of our life
or the memories attached to it, theachievements, the people, the experiences.
If they were so love filled or if theywere an essential piece of our identity
that allowed us to escape from theheaviness of how we were feeling or the
(13:07):
heaviness of what we were going through atthe time we create these energetic anchors
back to that container that felt safe.
That felt happy, particularly ifwe are moving through a phase in
our life now where a lot of thatstuff is ready to shift and it's
coming up, it's moving through us.
Life feels heavy, feels dense.
You feel sad all the time,or you're stepping into a new
(13:31):
path and it feels different.
Awkward.
So scary because it's different.
It's so much easier to look backat that past version of ourself
in that past container and feellike it was better back then.
I wish I was back there inthat energy because that was
the moment where I felt happy.
And when I've looked at this becauseI've had these nostalgic moments of
(13:53):
looking back, you know, in beautifulromances when I was younger, or times
where I felt free, and in my body,I look back at those moments and
it's like, why am I so unhappy now?
And it's because I'm trying to, inthis expanded version of myself,
contort myself, and fit myselfback in that container, which was
(14:14):
perfect at the time and made me feel.
That weigh those beautifulfeelings, but I can't actually
contort back into that container.
What I need to do is create thecontainer with self permission
and awareness that fits me now.
Oh, that allows me to pour myself intoand expand so that those feelings of
(14:38):
happiness, those feelings of trust, ofloving my body, of loving being alive
and present, they can be now feelings.
They can be things that I experienceas I am now without trying
to attach myself to the past.
And so many of my friends and I talkabout this regularly because when life
(15:02):
feels difficult in the moment now,it's so much easier to be like, oh,
it was so much easier when we were 16.
It was so much easier when we were 20.
It was so much easier when we were 30.
Like we are always going back to those keymoments and wishing we were back there.
And it always seems to comeup when you're around people.
(15:22):
Who were present in those moments inthe past, who were those anchors and.
Integral to those memories.
It's so easy to get together and be like,oh, do you remember when it was easier?
Do you remember when we did this?
And we wanna compare it to wherewe are now and how we feel now?
(15:43):
It's like, oh, I've done this, this,and this, and it doesn't feel this way.
Or, I've tried this, or I'm tiedto this, or I made this decision,
or I can't believe this is my life.
And you compare it back.
Oh gosh, wasn't it easierwhen we took that road trip?
Wasn't it easier when we weredoing that or living that way?
It's like, yes, it was easier, butfor that container, for where we
(16:06):
are and the experiences that we had,it's just that we're in and outdated
container now and we need to expand it.
And so this container that this newconcept of House of Andrea that woke me
up in the middle of the night a coupleof nights ago, all of a sudden I was
like, yes, being brave enough to set acontainer that's so big that allows me to
(16:32):
expand is exactly what I need right now.
I need to stop trying to fitmyself into everything that I have
been and allow myself to dreambigger and ride it with the fear.
(16:52):
Because when I came up with this samehouse of Andrew, I was like, well,
who am I to name something after me?
Who am I to?
You know who, what kind of audacityis it to go house of Andrea?
Like it felt, it felt really challengingat first because the ego of, not even
(17:17):
the ego, but the fear of it beingego led started to meander and bang
around in my mind, and I was like, oof.
Oh, are people going to hear that andthink, oh God, does she, does she think.
That she's better than us.
Does she think this?
Does she think that?
And this fear of people perceivingthis shift as an ego-based
(17:40):
decision was really loud.
And I had to sit with that.
And you might, you might feel this inyour life too, when you have this big
idea and you want to name it somethingor you wanna pursue something, but
then there's this voice of like, oh,but people are gonna think you're.
Super arrogant or way beyond whereyou're at or too big for your
(18:02):
boots, that can get really noisy.
And if we say it to ourselvesenough, it's like belief beliefs are
thoughts that we said over and overand over and and have decided are
real, and we start to believe that.
But the bravery is the key to this.
The trust and the bravery.
There's a key to this to belike, okay, House of Andrea.
(18:26):
Why is this coming through?
Okay.
Guides, angels, team source.
Why are you giving this to me as thisnew container that I need to hold?
And I sat with it and I'm like, even,although it's called House of and my
name, Andrea, this is not actually aboutme creating a house where everybody
comes in and we all follow my rules.
(18:48):
It's not like that.
It's like if I give myself permission to.
Claim something like House of Andrea, it'slike I am giving myself permission to step
into my power, to to lead with my soul.
Essentially to lead with mysoul, to lead with my energy.
And if I can do it,then everyone can do it.
(19:10):
It's like I see everyone having theirown house of, and it's like this
inner sourcing of power of comingback to leading from our energy,
from our soul, from our soul gifts,from the reason that we are here and
saying that we're enough out loud.
Claiming that we're enough.
(19:30):
Out loud.
It's like.
By creating this container of Houseof Andrea, it not only allows me to
finally give myself permission toown all that I am and all that I'm
creating in this beautiful, energeticstate, but by doing that, it's almost
(19:51):
like I'm saying to the world as well.
It's like give yourselfpermission to do the same.
Like you deserve to have your own houseof, or, you know, whatever it is in terms
of the terminology that you're thinkingof doing or that has been coming to you.
You've been getting these little signs,these symbols, to do something different.
(20:11):
To take a different path orown something in your own way.
It's like, yes, let's do it.
This is the time, likethis is, this is 2025.
We for such a long time have beenputting woo and spirituality and healing
and all of these things in a separatebucket to the real world, you know?
(20:33):
And if you do go and do some ofthis work, it's like either within
safe communities or you know, reallytalked about with people that you
know are gonna be accepting of it.
And then we switch, backinto the normal life.
When we're around the normallife people or situations and
environments, it's like this is 2025.
(20:55):
These two separate bucketsdon't need to exist anymore.
We can say we are source filledand fueled beings who are deeply
connected to ourselves, deeplyconnected to our spirituality, who
also do this normal stuff, who alsojust normalize the conversation and
(21:17):
the sensation of being alive andconnected to our soul, to our energy,
to everything that we are here to do.
So if we are that connected and it's2025 and it's modern and it's cool
to like talk about this stuff, thenlet's start using that language to
create containers that can hold allof that for us and normalize it.
(21:42):
'cause part of my work that I'm seeinginto this next chapter is like, the
words that keep coming through tome are like, it's woo, but 2025.
It's like making this, this type ofconversation so normal that we all
just talk about it over coffee in theworkplace, uh, at home all the time.
(22:04):
Like there is no denying now where wecome from and what we are made of and what
we're here to do and that we are movingthrough lifetimes, and we are gonna be
doing this over and over and over again.
Like we have all this wealth of wisdomfrom where we've been in different
(22:24):
lifetimes to where we are now.
The beautiful ancestral lines thatare connected to us, to the lifetimes
that we're gonna live beyond this.
But really coming home to who weare right now in this lifetime.
In this lifetime, I'm Andrea Matthiesand that comes with a whole wealth
(22:46):
of things and experiences, and it'stime for me to just own that the same
that it is time for you to own yours,to own your name, to own who you are,
to set the containers that are bigenough to hold that plus what's coming.
All of the things that you were aboutto expand into setting the container
(23:09):
big enough to hold that and beinglike, yeah, it's woo, but it's 2025.
Like there is no separation andit's really interesting, the
power of claiming your name.
And I really understand this because
I have had a tumultuousjourney with my name.
(23:30):
When I was born, I was namedAndrea Lee Matthies by my parents.
But as we do when we are children, we getgiven nicknames and my nickname, quickly
became Andi Or Andi PAndi or, Ange.
Different variations of this.
And it's funny because I thinkthis happens to a lot of us.
(23:53):
We get like our pet name or ournickname and we get that most of the
time except for when we're in trouble.
And then we either get the full firstname or the full name, and I knew
if my mom yelled Andrea Matthiesor Andrea, I was like, uhoh, have
I either been busted or something'scoming, like I've done something wrong.
(24:19):
And so we can attributethat energy to our name.
And so by the time I hit highschool, I was like, I'm not
going by the name Andrea.
I'm going to go by Andi 'Becausethere was so much love attached
to that nickname as well.
It had a beautiful energy around it.
So I went by the name Andi I changed, youknow my name with my friends at school.
(24:45):
It got them to start calling meAndi, the teachers, everyone.
And.
I went through high school, mostlybeing known as Andi, and then when I
went out into the work environment,when I graduated year 12, I went to
university and then started working.
I felt like I needed togo with my legal name.
(25:06):
So I started to put Andrea on,you know, employment forms or
work badges and things like that.
But as people got to knowme, they would call me Andi.
So I went through this kind of period ofearly career as being known as Andrea.
And fast forward, youknow, 20 years or so.
don't hold me to the dates 'cause Ihaven't worked them out specifically,
(25:28):
but fast forward a fair chunk oftime and I met this particular
man and started dating him.
And on our very, very first date,he said to me, Andi is a boy's name.
I refuse to call you that.
I'm only gonna call you Andrea becausehe was a of a European background.
(25:48):
He had a, an accent.
So said, I'm only gonna call youAndrea, like none of this Andi business.
And I remember sitting there andit was in a really a particular
time where my self-esteem andmy self worth, everything was.
Non-existent.
And so of course this man wasshowing me, um, attention and
(26:09):
interest and I was attracted to him.
And so if he's like, well.
Well, he's only gonna call meAndrea, and that sounds exotic.
Then yeah, I'm gonna come become Andrea.
And so in that moment of allowingsomeone to, I guess, project and
(26:30):
change my identity in that moment,I was like, okay, Andi is dead.
I am now Andrea.
And so I, I went about, um.
You know, becoming this version of Andrea,over this course of this relationship,
which lasted almost a decade.
(26:51):
And, it was really interesting thatsometimes when we get into situations
where we give our power away, we giveour voice away and we allow others to
imprint an identity on us, we slicethese fragments of ourself away, and
so I just started to become the shellof a woman, the shell of myself,
(27:14):
And, in amongst knowing that I wasbecoming a shell, I was becoming
very resentful of this relationship.
'cause I could see what washappening, but I was also allowing it.
I was making decisions to stay, I wasmaking, um, allowances for someone to call
the shots around where I worked, what wedid with my money, which became our money.
(27:38):
Lots of different things that sortof stripped away willingly, these
were micro decisions that I made, andso there's no blame here other than
just seeing this as an experiencethat I went through, but I realized.
This relationship had created asituation where I was no longer
(28:00):
myself and I was no longer happy.
And so I had to ultimately at theend of that, make the decision to
walk away so that I could startwalking myself back to who I was.
But what had happened in the processof this is because I had been told that
my name was Andrea and that, um, thiswas the identity that I was to assume.
(28:24):
When I left that relationship, Istarted to hate the name Andrea because
it had been forced back on me, andso pretty much within 24 hours of
finally leaving that relationship.
I completely changed my name backto Andi So overnight everything,
(28:48):
LinkedIn, Instagram, people I knew,I'm like, please don't call me Andrea.
Call me Andi.
Because what it felt like at the time wasme taking my power back, making a decision
to go back to the woman that I thoughtI was before entering this relationship.
Who, uh.
You know, Ellie's had ownership of her,the name that she preferred, and so I
(29:09):
went back to Andi and that was fine.
But what was really interesting isthat it took me some time to realize
that that going back to Andi wasmassive overcorrection that maybe
didn't serve me because coming home toyourself and owning all that you are.
(29:35):
There's such power in that.
There was power in starting to strip away.
Like why did I need to call myselfAndi in the first place, is because I
was afraid of using the name Andrea.
'cause I thought I was in troublejust from that association,
from when I was a kid.
And I really even, although someonesaid to me, I'm only gonna call you
(29:59):
this, which created some tensiontowards my, the name Andrea.
It's like, well actually, if I allowmyself to forgive myself for giving my
power away in that relationship and justlet that be an experience and a journey
that I went through and neutralize it.
If I'm able to go back and just.
(30:20):
Like neutralize the stuff from a childhoodwhere, you know, if I got my full
name, it meant that I was in trouble.
Just neutralize that because ofcourse your parents are gonna call
you by your name if they need yourattention and there's something
important to speak about, like you.
You know, it's, it's, it's crazyhow we internalize these fears
or these associations with wordsbased on these experiences.
(30:45):
So I was like, okay, I'm just gonna goback and neutralize that, and I'm moving
into a phase of my life where I wannatake ownership for this beautiful soul
that exists in this body, and I wasgifted this name Andrea Lee Matthews.
There's power in owning that.
There's power in making the decisionto come back to my roots and to really
(31:08):
just see my soul and my energy, andmy love for what it is, and allowing
myself to reassemble inside thisbeautiful name and just own that.
And so over the last couple of months,I, um, since this podcast started, I was
very much in the Andi when this podcaststarted, but over the course of the last
(31:33):
months, however long we've been runningnow, I'm like slowly, slowly edging back
to, no, I'm ready to come home to myself.
And part of that processis deciding within me.
To step into the full energy of whereI started, how I was gifted this
(31:55):
name and how I came into the world.
That first breath that I took, I tookthat breath as Andrea, and there's power
in deciding to clear and neutralize allof the associations, all of the stuff
associated with that, and step back in.
And so that's where I'm at.
I've, over the last couple ofmonths, as I said, started using
(32:15):
Andrea, and then over the last fourto six weeks, I only use Andrea.
Now I've removed Andi off my socials,and of course, friends and family.
You, you can still call meAndi It's not a big deal.
But from a leadership stepping intothis next chapter, this next container.
Andrea is the name that I want to use.
(32:37):
And so when I woke come in the middleof the night and it was like, now is the
time to own this container and to stepinto the power of the house of Andrea.
For me so that I can expand,so that I can pour out into the
world all this incredible wisdom,this connection to source that's
being amplified minute by minute.
(32:58):
The deeper that I move into this and thedeeper that I trust myself to stretch and
expand into these new roles, these newcontainers that I'm building, the more
I am actually gonna be coming home tomyself and the house of Andrea, is it.
And so from next week, all of theepisodes that are gonna be released on
(33:21):
this podcast are going to be under thebrand new branding of House of Andrea.
I'm gonna be working on all of thegraphics and everything that will wrap
around that over the course of the week.
So keep an eye out for that.
When it drops, there'll be a new intro.
Um, 'cause I will be slightlyrepositioning these kinds of
(33:44):
conversations as well to involvemore of this woo, but 2025.
We're gonna have deeper conversationsabout connecting you back to your soul.
And that includes your gifts, thatincludes your self trust, that includes
your knowing, your wisdom, the connectionsthat you have to everything around you,
(34:06):
really deeply connecting you back to thatso that you can become your own house of.
Owning your name, whatever thatis, for you in this next chapter.
That's what these conversationsare gonna be about.
And there's no more fear.
Now I, I'm, I'm done with beingafraid of talking about some of
these topics and really helpingyou awaken that for yourself.
(34:30):
So there's gonna be a lot more ofthat because the more of us that
turn our light on, the more of usthat step into the power that is our.
Birthright that exists within us.
It's not outside of us.
It exists within us.
And the more of us that step intothat light and into that energy and
turn it on, the more that we're gonnaactivate others and the more that we
(34:52):
can activate others and send out theseincredible powerful signals and do things
differently and own things differentlyand more in a more grounded way.
That's how we're gonna change things.
And it starts with normalizingthese kinds of conversations and it
starts with coming back to yourselfin whatever way that takes place.
(35:16):
And so I'm really excited to go onthis next chapter, this next part of
the journey under the house of Andrea.
I don't even entirely know exactlywhat's gonna be involved in this.
All I know is that what's coming throughme at the moment are these beautifully
source coded pieces of artwork thatI'm sharing on Instagram every day.
(35:39):
And so my new handle on Instagram,which has now been updated is House
of Andrea to really encourage youto jump on there and follow that.
'cause these new source Act, sourcecoded pieces of art are gonna be dropping
every day to really start helpingyou with this self permission to.
To get deeper in connectionwith your soul and who you are.
(36:02):
I'm offering the readings as well tosupport you in this, this next phase.
So if you're feeling cold, reach out.
Book a one-on-one session with me,and we'll connect you back to your
soul, to your source so that you canstart really stepping into this next
chapter that you're moving into.
And then these deep immersivephotography experiences, which are.
(36:24):
Healing there.
There are like a combination ofhealing, tapping in, cracking open,
and then capturing that so thatyou can not only be seen, but see
yourself deeply in this amazing nextchapter that you're stepping into.
These sessions are gonna startbecoming available, so if you're
(36:44):
interested in getting on the waitlist of those, send me a dm and I
feel like this new house of Andreacontainer is gonna have so much more.
In it.
But right now, I'm only being showneach single piece one step at a time,
and I'm just allowing myself to stretchand trust that this is the path.
(37:05):
This is the path.
This is the thing that I'm meant to bedoing because I'm done with trying to
figure it out with only my brain, and I'mdone with following someone else's path.
And I'm also done with abandoningmyself, and I hope that you are too.
I hope that.
Each time we have these conversations,there's just this little bit, this little
(37:27):
extra piece of yourself that starts tocome home and starts to anchor back in.
That starts to help you remember whoyou are and your soul and your energy
so that you two can walk the path thatyou are here to walk and set that bigger
container that is waiting to hold youin this next chapter of your life.
(37:49):
So signing off with the lastepisode of the Bold, brave

(38:10):
There's only a few channel readingsessions available each week.
And of course you can reach outto me anytime or follow all of my
art and photography on Instagram.
I'm Andrea Lee Matthies, Writer, Photographer,
and Clairvoyant Medium, and thisis the Bold, Brave Woman Project.
This podcast is a living, breathing,unfolding of what it really
means to step into our becoming.
Born from the ashes of a failed YouTubechannel, this weekly podcast brings you
real unfiltered moments of failure, ofbravery, and of deep intuitive knowing,
(00:25):
so that you too can step into who you arebecoming with even more trust and bravery.
Let's dive in.
Welcome back to another episodeof the Bold, Brave Woman Project.
This episode is really specialbecause this is actually going to
be the last episode in the currentBold, Brave Woman Project Branding.
(00:49):
And this is really exciting becauseI have been contemplating a lot over
the last couple of weeks around whatit is that I really wanna do with
this podcast, and particularly asI move into this new artist era.
What it is that I wanna do to bringall these beautiful pieces together.
(01:10):
And so I made a really big decision inthe last couple of days that I'm shifting
the branding from the Bold, Brave WomanProject to a brand new energy, a brand
new entity as well called the Houseof Andrea, and this feels really good.
By the way, it's really windywhere I am at the moment.
(01:32):
So if you start to hear thebeautiful sound of the trees
in the background pay no mind.
I think the universe and the,the environment at the moment is,
uh, cheering on and, you know,bringing these beautiful gusts of
wind in support of this big change.
But the house of Andreaactually came to me.
Um, it was in the middle of the night.
(01:55):
I had had a series of conversations withsome mentors that I work with around this
work and this new era and phase that I'mstepping into around the embodied energy
of the artist and what that means for me.
And I was starting to think aboutenergetic containers, and sometimes
(02:16):
when we are in old identities or we'vebeen through certain experiences and
we set these energetic containersof ourselves, of our lives, when
we wanna step into something new.
That old container brand identity,whatever it is that we have
built sometimes isn't big enough.
(02:38):
It's not stretchy enough to holdthe new energy that we are stepping
into, and I was starting to feel thathappen with the original branding
of the Bold, Brave Woman Project.
Now, don't get me wrong.
This brand and this podcast startedfrom a absolute beautiful place.
(03:00):
It was the sourcing of braveness ofboldness to, not give up to make something
of a failure to realize and step intothe energy of being bold and being brave.
Starting a podcast, talkingabout some deep breakthroughs and
(03:21):
incidences that were happening inmy life to keep walking forward
and share those with the world too.
Honestly, just connect withyou on a deeper level to let
you know you're not alone.
If you're going through any ofthis deep stuff, you are not alone.
And I see you.
I see you in your bravery.
I see you in the depth of despair,and I honor you too because
(03:44):
this life, this being human is.
It's such a tricky one at times.
It's so complicated.
It's so heavy, but it is also sopowerful and so magical at times.
And so when the Bold, Brave Woman ProjectContainer was set, it was perfect.
It was what I needed at thetime to step into my bravery.
(04:06):
But as I've gone through this rapidtransformation over the last couple
of months, so many more piecesof me are starting to surface.
So many more depths of desires ofinterests, of things that I really want
to step into and start expressing havestarted to reveal themselves, and I
(04:28):
realized the container that I set whenI was in that really broken, beaten down
space of the failed YouTube channel.
Sourcing that power that I had at the timethat's no longer big enough to hold the
energy and to create this container ofstretch that I know I need to step into.
(04:53):
Now that I'm moving into thisnew era of photographer, of
channeler, of energy worker.
of all of the things that I ammoving into at the moment, the
Bold, Brave Woman Project container.
I've outgrown that and it needs to shift.
And so I connected with a couple ofmentors last week to really help me unpack
(05:18):
what it is that is being created here.
And after I had those sessions, I fellasleep and was woken up in the middle
of the night being shown that thisnew container that I need to create.
Has to be something that is very,very stretchy, is a higher level of
frequency, but is big enough for meto be able to expand into, because
(05:43):
sometimes when we set containers forourselves, we set containers based on
where we're at and what feels comfortable.
Mean, we set containers of safetyessentially, so that we have these
beautiful boundaries of having spacesto move into, to flow into, to move
around, to step into our power, butwithin a limit that feels comfortable.
(06:08):
We.
And I'm realizing with this nextera of really becoming an artist who
can infuse source codes into theirart, who can translate energy and
ether and messages from source intoeither photography sessions into.
(06:29):
Art pieces or channeled messages,it's going to require a much higher
frequency and a much bigger spacebecause where I am right now is stepping
into, this is like the beginning.
It's like that first step that we takeonto the journey of where we are going,
but we need to have that space to grow.
(06:51):
Even if it feels scary, even if it feelsreally, really uncomfortable, it is so
much more in alignment with who we'rebecoming and in service of ourselves
to create containers that stretchus that almost not terrify because
that tips into a different frequencyand a different energy, but fills us
(07:14):
with this sense of I need to expand.
I need to expand evenif I don't know how to.
This container that I'm creatingfor myself out of my own free will,
out of my love, out of my intention.
This space has me, it's solid.
It's my container that I create,but it is also gonna ask me to rise.
(07:37):
And so in the middle of the night, myangelic team woke me up with this idea.
It was about 2:00 AM this tapon the shoulder, energetic.
Tap on the shoulder.
That was like the containeris the house of Andrea.
Now it's interesting because over thelast few months I've had this house of
(07:58):
type energy and these words flow to mein different formats when I'm thinking
about different offers or partnershipsor collaborations or things that I have
been creating around this new artistidentity and house of has come up a lot.
But it's also felt super stretchyand super almost out of reach.
(08:21):
It's like, no, that's like thehouse of Chanel or the house
of luxury or the house of, um.
These big, beautiful, youknow, fancy elite level brands.
Like who am I to step into a containeror a, a brand or a name that is, you
(08:42):
know, synonymous with some of theseother elite level, high level brands.
Like who am I to do that?
And so there has been a lot of.
Hinting from the universe that thiswas a container that I needed to set,
but also, oh, but I couldn't do that.
Like who am I to do that?
(09:03):
And it's taken a lot of.
Time really to cultivate through that,to sit with that, to allow that to
reveal what it is that needs to shift.
Because we are all these incrediblebeings in these amazing, beautiful bodies
(09:23):
that are having this human experience.
Yet we let our minds and ourcircumstances and expectations.
Limit and forget that incrediblepotential and power that exists within us.
And soon we start tellingourselves, no, I'm not.
I'm not for that.
I, I can't stretch that far.
(09:44):
That is not for me.
These types of narratives start toroot and take hold in our minds.
And you say them to yourself.
We think them to yourself, or evenjust energetically allow them to play
in our energy and before we know it.
It's real.
It's a belief.
It is an anchor.
(10:04):
It is something that wemove through the life.
We move through our lives existingby, and that's crazy because being
of source and from source and havingall of this incredible, powerful
energy exists within us, we should behaving and creating and trusting and
(10:25):
ultimately giving ourselves permission.
To create the containers that hold allof this magic, because as soon as we
create the container, the magic and thethe essence, it has somewhere to go.
Finally, it's supported withina container, within a space that
doesn't just exist within us, butit can start to move and in whatever
(10:48):
way that is for us, whether that'sin our career, whether that's in
our mothering, in our family, in.
Our voices the way that we wanna expressor share our mission with the world.
This container all ofa sudden creates space.
For that to happen.
And the more we start to fluidly moveand express within that space, the more
(11:12):
we, the more we start to build trustand a reminder of what we're capable of.
And then the more trust that we have.
The more energy we can pour out.
And it becomes this beautiful cycleof trust and outpouring, trust and
outpouring within this container thathas space enough for us to expand.
(11:33):
and of course when we getto the edges that expansion.
We can just make the container bigger.
And this is the thing that I amrealizing now, is that we create
containers for ourselves at each chapter.
That we are in our lives based on wherewe're at, based on what we wanna achieve.
But we can't stay in those containers.
(11:55):
You know, I sometimes look back atdifferent periods of my life, and every
now and then you have that fleetingthought of, oh, I wish I was back there.
I wish I was still in that moment,in that time with those people.
But we look at who you are now andthe incredible wealth of experience,
the things that you have witnessed,that you have moved through.
(12:18):
There's no way those oldercontainers, those nostalgic
back in the past containerscould hold all that you are now.
It's absolutely not possible.
And so we, we might look back on withthat nostalgia, with that energy of,
I wish I was still back there, butit's not feasible and it can sometimes
(12:43):
be really difficult to let that go,particularly if the time of our life
or the memories attached to it, theachievements, the people, the experiences.
If they were so love filled or if theywere an essential piece of our identity
that allowed us to escape from theheaviness of how we were feeling or the
(13:07):
heaviness of what we were going through atthe time we create these energetic anchors
back to that container that felt safe.
That felt happy, particularly ifwe are moving through a phase in
our life now where a lot of thatstuff is ready to shift and it's
coming up, it's moving through us.
Life feels heavy, feels dense.
You feel sad all the time,or you're stepping into a new
(13:31):
path and it feels different.
Awkward.
So scary because it's different.
It's so much easier to look backat that past version of ourself
in that past container and feellike it was better back then.
I wish I was back there inthat energy because that was
the moment where I felt happy.
And when I've looked at this becauseI've had these nostalgic moments of
(13:53):
looking back, you know, in beautifulromances when I was younger, or times
where I felt free, and in my body,I look back at those moments and
it's like, why am I so unhappy now?
And it's because I'm trying to, inthis expanded version of myself,
contort myself, and fit myselfback in that container, which was
(14:14):
perfect at the time and made me feel.
That weigh those beautifulfeelings, but I can't actually
contort back into that container.
What I need to do is create thecontainer with self permission
and awareness that fits me now.
Oh, that allows me to pour myself intoand expand so that those feelings of
(14:38):
happiness, those feelings of trust, ofloving my body, of loving being alive
and present, they can be now feelings.
They can be things that I experienceas I am now without trying
to attach myself to the past.
And so many of my friends and I talkabout this regularly because when life
(15:02):
feels difficult in the moment now,it's so much easier to be like, oh,
it was so much easier when we were 16.
It was so much easier when we were 20.
It was so much easier when we were 30.
Like we are always going back to those keymoments and wishing we were back there.
And it always seems to comeup when you're around people.
(15:22):
Who were present in those moments inthe past, who were those anchors and.
Integral to those memories.
It's so easy to get together and be like,oh, do you remember when it was easier?
Do you remember when we did this?
And we wanna compare it to wherewe are now and how we feel now?
(15:43):
It's like, oh, I've done this, this,and this, and it doesn't feel this way.
Or, I've tried this, or I'm tiedto this, or I made this decision,
or I can't believe this is my life.
And you compare it back.
Oh gosh, wasn't it easierwhen we took that road trip?
Wasn't it easier when we weredoing that or living that way?
It's like, yes, it was easier, butfor that container, for where we
(16:06):
are and the experiences that we had,it's just that we're in and outdated
container now and we need to expand it.
And so this container that this newconcept of House of Andrea that woke me
up in the middle of the night a coupleof nights ago, all of a sudden I was
like, yes, being brave enough to set acontainer that's so big that allows me to
(16:32):
expand is exactly what I need right now.
I need to stop trying to fitmyself into everything that I have
been and allow myself to dreambigger and ride it with the fear.
(16:52):
Because when I came up with this samehouse of Andrew, I was like, well,
who am I to name something after me?
Who am I to?
You know who, what kind of audacityis it to go house of Andrea?
Like it felt, it felt really challengingat first because the ego of, not even
(17:17):
the ego, but the fear of it beingego led started to meander and bang
around in my mind, and I was like, oof.
Oh, are people going to hear that andthink, oh God, does she, does she think.
That she's better than us.
Does she think this?
Does she think that?
And this fear of people perceivingthis shift as an ego-based
(17:40):
decision was really loud.
And I had to sit with that.
And you might, you might feel this inyour life too, when you have this big
idea and you want to name it somethingor you wanna pursue something, but
then there's this voice of like, oh,but people are gonna think you're.
Super arrogant or way beyond whereyou're at or too big for your
(18:02):
boots, that can get really noisy.
And if we say it to ourselvesenough, it's like belief beliefs are
thoughts that we said over and overand over and and have decided are
real, and we start to believe that.
But the bravery is the key to this.
The trust and the bravery.
There's a key to this to belike, okay, House of Andrea.
(18:26):
Why is this coming through?
Okay.
Guides, angels, team source.
Why are you giving this to me as thisnew container that I need to hold?
And I sat with it and I'm like, even,although it's called House of and my
name, Andrea, this is not actually aboutme creating a house where everybody
comes in and we all follow my rules.
(18:48):
It's not like that.
It's like if I give myself permission to.
Claim something like House of Andrea, it'slike I am giving myself permission to step
into my power, to to lead with my soul.
Essentially to lead with mysoul, to lead with my energy.
And if I can do it,then everyone can do it.
(19:10):
It's like I see everyone having theirown house of, and it's like this
inner sourcing of power of comingback to leading from our energy,
from our soul, from our soul gifts,from the reason that we are here and
saying that we're enough out loud.
Claiming that we're enough.
(19:30):
Out loud.
It's like.
By creating this container of Houseof Andrea, it not only allows me to
finally give myself permission toown all that I am and all that I'm
creating in this beautiful, energeticstate, but by doing that, it's almost
(19:51):
like I'm saying to the world as well.
It's like give yourselfpermission to do the same.
Like you deserve to have your own houseof, or, you know, whatever it is in terms
of the terminology that you're thinkingof doing or that has been coming to you.
You've been getting these little signs,these symbols, to do something different.
(20:11):
To take a different path orown something in your own way.
It's like, yes, let's do it.
This is the time, likethis is, this is 2025.
We for such a long time have beenputting woo and spirituality and healing
and all of these things in a separatebucket to the real world, you know?
(20:33):
And if you do go and do some ofthis work, it's like either within
safe communities or you know, reallytalked about with people that you
know are gonna be accepting of it.
And then we switch, backinto the normal life.
When we're around the normallife people or situations and
environments, it's like this is 2025.
(20:55):
These two separate bucketsdon't need to exist anymore.
We can say we are source filledand fueled beings who are deeply
connected to ourselves, deeplyconnected to our spirituality, who
also do this normal stuff, who alsojust normalize the conversation and
(21:17):
the sensation of being alive andconnected to our soul, to our energy,
to everything that we are here to do.
So if we are that connected and it's2025 and it's modern and it's cool
to like talk about this stuff, thenlet's start using that language to
create containers that can hold allof that for us and normalize it.
(21:42):
'cause part of my work that I'm seeinginto this next chapter is like, the
words that keep coming through tome are like, it's woo, but 2025.
It's like making this, this type ofconversation so normal that we all
just talk about it over coffee in theworkplace, uh, at home all the time.
(22:04):
Like there is no denying now where wecome from and what we are made of and what
we're here to do and that we are movingthrough lifetimes, and we are gonna be
doing this over and over and over again.
Like we have all this wealth of wisdomfrom where we've been in different
(22:24):
lifetimes to where we are now.
The beautiful ancestral lines thatare connected to us, to the lifetimes
that we're gonna live beyond this.
But really coming home to who weare right now in this lifetime.
In this lifetime, I'm Andrea Matthiesand that comes with a whole wealth
(22:46):
of things and experiences, and it'stime for me to just own that the same
that it is time for you to own yours,to own your name, to own who you are,
to set the containers that are bigenough to hold that plus what's coming.
All of the things that you were aboutto expand into setting the container
(23:09):
big enough to hold that and beinglike, yeah, it's woo, but it's 2025.
Like there is no separation andit's really interesting, the
power of claiming your name.
And I really understand this because
I have had a tumultuousjourney with my name.
(23:30):
When I was born, I was namedAndrea Lee Matthies by my parents.
But as we do when we are children, we getgiven nicknames and my nickname, quickly
became Andi Or Andi PAndi or, Ange.
Different variations of this.
And it's funny because I thinkthis happens to a lot of us.
(23:53):
We get like our pet name or ournickname and we get that most of the
time except for when we're in trouble.
And then we either get the full firstname or the full name, and I knew
if my mom yelled Andrea Matthiesor Andrea, I was like, uhoh, have
I either been busted or something'scoming, like I've done something wrong.
(24:19):
And so we can attributethat energy to our name.
And so by the time I hit highschool, I was like, I'm not
going by the name Andrea.
I'm going to go by Andi 'Becausethere was so much love attached
to that nickname as well.
It had a beautiful energy around it.
So I went by the name Andi I changed, youknow my name with my friends at school.
(24:45):
It got them to start calling meAndi, the teachers, everyone.
And.
I went through high school, mostlybeing known as Andi, and then when I
went out into the work environment,when I graduated year 12, I went to
university and then started working.
I felt like I needed togo with my legal name.
(25:06):
So I started to put Andrea on,you know, employment forms or
work badges and things like that.
But as people got to knowme, they would call me Andi.
So I went through this kind of period ofearly career as being known as Andrea.
And fast forward, youknow, 20 years or so.
don't hold me to the dates 'cause Ihaven't worked them out specifically,
(25:28):
but fast forward a fair chunk oftime and I met this particular
man and started dating him.
And on our very, very first date,he said to me, Andi is a boy's name.
I refuse to call you that.
I'm only gonna call you Andrea becausehe was a of a European background.
(25:48):
He had a, an accent.
So said, I'm only gonna call youAndrea, like none of this Andi business.
And I remember sitting there andit was in a really a particular
time where my self-esteem andmy self worth, everything was.
Non-existent.
And so of course this man wasshowing me, um, attention and
(26:09):
interest and I was attracted to him.
And so if he's like, well.
Well, he's only gonna call meAndrea, and that sounds exotic.
Then yeah, I'm gonna come become Andrea.
And so in that moment of allowingsomeone to, I guess, project and
(26:30):
change my identity in that moment,I was like, okay, Andi is dead.
I am now Andrea.
And so I, I went about, um.
You know, becoming this version of Andrea,over this course of this relationship,
which lasted almost a decade.
(26:51):
And, it was really interesting thatsometimes when we get into situations
where we give our power away, we giveour voice away and we allow others to
imprint an identity on us, we slicethese fragments of ourself away, and
so I just started to become the shellof a woman, the shell of myself,
(27:14):
And, in amongst knowing that I wasbecoming a shell, I was becoming
very resentful of this relationship.
'cause I could see what washappening, but I was also allowing it.
I was making decisions to stay, I wasmaking, um, allowances for someone to call
the shots around where I worked, what wedid with my money, which became our money.
(27:38):
Lots of different things that sortof stripped away willingly, these
were micro decisions that I made, andso there's no blame here other than
just seeing this as an experiencethat I went through, but I realized.
This relationship had created asituation where I was no longer
(28:00):
myself and I was no longer happy.
And so I had to ultimately at theend of that, make the decision to
walk away so that I could startwalking myself back to who I was.
But what had happened in the processof this is because I had been told that
my name was Andrea and that, um, thiswas the identity that I was to assume.
(28:24):
When I left that relationship, Istarted to hate the name Andrea because
it had been forced back on me, andso pretty much within 24 hours of
finally leaving that relationship.
I completely changed my name backto Andi So overnight everything,
(28:48):
LinkedIn, Instagram, people I knew,I'm like, please don't call me Andrea.
Call me Andi.
Because what it felt like at the time wasme taking my power back, making a decision
to go back to the woman that I thoughtI was before entering this relationship.
Who, uh.
You know, Ellie's had ownership of her,the name that she preferred, and so I
(29:09):
went back to Andi and that was fine.
But what was really interesting isthat it took me some time to realize
that that going back to Andi wasmassive overcorrection that maybe
didn't serve me because coming home toyourself and owning all that you are.
(29:35):
There's such power in that.
There was power in starting to strip away.
Like why did I need to call myselfAndi in the first place, is because I
was afraid of using the name Andrea.
'cause I thought I was in troublejust from that association,
from when I was a kid.
And I really even, although someonesaid to me, I'm only gonna call you
(29:59):
this, which created some tensiontowards my, the name Andrea.
It's like, well actually, if I allowmyself to forgive myself for giving my
power away in that relationship and justlet that be an experience and a journey
that I went through and neutralize it.
If I'm able to go back and just.
(30:20):
Like neutralize the stuff from a childhoodwhere, you know, if I got my full
name, it meant that I was in trouble.
Just neutralize that because ofcourse your parents are gonna call
you by your name if they need yourattention and there's something
important to speak about, like you.
You know, it's, it's, it's crazyhow we internalize these fears
or these associations with wordsbased on these experiences.
(30:45):
So I was like, okay, I'm just gonna goback and neutralize that, and I'm moving
into a phase of my life where I wannatake ownership for this beautiful soul
that exists in this body, and I wasgifted this name Andrea Lee Matthews.
There's power in owning that.
There's power in making the decisionto come back to my roots and to really
(31:08):
just see my soul and my energy, andmy love for what it is, and allowing
myself to reassemble inside thisbeautiful name and just own that.
And so over the last couple of months,I, um, since this podcast started, I was
very much in the Andi when this podcaststarted, but over the course of the last
(31:33):
months, however long we've been runningnow, I'm like slowly, slowly edging back
to, no, I'm ready to come home to myself.
And part of that processis deciding within me.
To step into the full energy of whereI started, how I was gifted this
(31:55):
name and how I came into the world.
That first breath that I took, I tookthat breath as Andrea, and there's power
in deciding to clear and neutralize allof the associations, all of the stuff
associated with that, and step back in.
And so that's where I'm at.
I've, over the last couple ofmonths, as I said, started using
(32:15):
Andrea, and then over the last fourto six weeks, I only use Andrea.
Now I've removed Andi off my socials,and of course, friends and family.
You, you can still call meAndi It's not a big deal.
But from a leadership stepping intothis next chapter, this next container.
Andrea is the name that I want to use.
(32:37):
And so when I woke come in the middleof the night and it was like, now is the
time to own this container and to stepinto the power of the house of Andrea.
For me so that I can expand,so that I can pour out into the
world all this incredible wisdom,this connection to source that's
being amplified minute by minute.
(32:58):
The deeper that I move into this and thedeeper that I trust myself to stretch and
expand into these new roles, these newcontainers that I'm building, the more
I am actually gonna be coming home tomyself and the house of Andrea, is it.
And so from next week, all of theepisodes that are gonna be released on
(33:21):
this podcast are going to be under thebrand new branding of House of Andrea.
I'm gonna be working on all of thegraphics and everything that will wrap
around that over the course of the week.
So keep an eye out for that.
When it drops, there'll be a new intro.
Um, 'cause I will be slightlyrepositioning these kinds of
(33:44):
conversations as well to involvemore of this woo, but 2025.
We're gonna have deeper conversationsabout connecting you back to your soul.
And that includes your gifts, thatincludes your self trust, that includes
your knowing, your wisdom, the connectionsthat you have to everything around you,
(34:06):
really deeply connecting you back to thatso that you can become your own house of.
Owning your name, whatever thatis, for you in this next chapter.
That's what these conversationsare gonna be about.
And there's no more fear.
Now I, I'm, I'm done with beingafraid of talking about some of
these topics and really helpingyou awaken that for yourself.
(34:30):
So there's gonna be a lot more ofthat because the more of us that
turn our light on, the more of usthat step into the power that is our.
Birthright that exists within us.
It's not outside of us.
It exists within us.
And the more of us that step intothat light and into that energy and
turn it on, the more that we're gonnaactivate others and the more that we
(34:52):
can activate others and send out theseincredible powerful signals and do things
differently and own things differentlyand more in a more grounded way.
That's how we're gonna change things.
And it starts with normalizingthese kinds of conversations and it
starts with coming back to yourselfin whatever way that takes place.
(35:16):
And so I'm really excited to go onthis next chapter, this next part of
the journey under the house of Andrea.
I don't even entirely know exactlywhat's gonna be involved in this.
All I know is that what's coming throughme at the moment are these beautifully
source coded pieces of artwork thatI'm sharing on Instagram every day.
(35:39):
And so my new handle on Instagram,which has now been updated is House
of Andrea to really encourage youto jump on there and follow that.
'cause these new source Act, sourcecoded pieces of art are gonna be dropping
every day to really start helpingyou with this self permission to.
To get deeper in connectionwith your soul and who you are.
(36:02):
I'm offering the readings as well tosupport you in this, this next phase.
So if you're feeling cold, reach out.
Book a one-on-one session with me,and we'll connect you back to your
soul, to your source so that you canstart really stepping into this next
chapter that you're moving into.
And then these deep immersivephotography experiences, which are.
(36:24):
Healing there.
There are like a combination ofhealing, tapping in, cracking open,
and then capturing that so thatyou can not only be seen, but see
yourself deeply in this amazing nextchapter that you're stepping into.
These sessions are gonna startbecoming available, so if you're
(36:44):
interested in getting on the waitlist of those, send me a dm and I
feel like this new house of Andreacontainer is gonna have so much more.
In it.
But right now, I'm only being showneach single piece one step at a time,
and I'm just allowing myself to stretchand trust that this is the path.
(37:05):
This is the path.
This is the thing that I'm meant to bedoing because I'm done with trying to
figure it out with only my brain, and I'mdone with following someone else's path.
And I'm also done with abandoningmyself, and I hope that you are too.
I hope that.
Each time we have these conversations,there's just this little bit, this little
(37:27):
extra piece of yourself that starts tocome home and starts to anchor back in.
That starts to help you remember whoyou are and your soul and your energy
so that you two can walk the path thatyou are here to walk and set that bigger
container that is waiting to hold youin this next chapter of your life.
