The Andrea Pearson Show

Do you believe any client is better than no client?

In this episode, I challenge that mindset and argue that many payment problems can be avoided before the work even begins. I share practical ways to identify reliable clients, recognize warning signs that someone may not pay, trust your intuition, set minimum standards, require deposits, and avoid taking on clients who create stress, conflict, and cash-flow problems.

You'll learn wh...

Are clients paying late—or not paying at all?

In this episode, I break down practical strategies business owners can use to get paid faster, reduce awkward payment conversations, and create systems that encourage clients to pay on time. We cover everything from setting clear payment expectations and requiring deposits to automating reminders, removing payment friction, following up effectively, and knowing when it's time to es...

How do you get more reviews as a business owner? Whether you're trying to get more Google reviews, build social proof, or grow a small business, reviews are one of the most powerful marketing tools available.

In this episode, I challenge the belief that asking for reviews is pushy or annoying and explain why many happy customers are actually willing to help when you make the process easy. I share practical strategies for getting mor...

How much should you really spend on marketing?

In this episode, I challenge the common belief that you should wait until your business is profitable before investing in marketing. Instead, I explain why marketing is often the tool that creates growth—and how to approach it without taking unnecessary risks.

How much established businesses should budget for marketing

Why your first customers rarely come from paid ads

In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Saunders, an online business strategist and technical expert, to break down what’s actually holding business owners back. We talk about why overwhelm isn’t really about having too much to do&...

Most people believe that thoughts don’t really matter—only actions do. But what if that’s completely backwards?

In this episode of The Andrea Pearson Show, we break down the science behind how your thoughts actually shape your biology, rewire your brain, influence your behavior, and ultimately determine your results.

From placebo and nocebo effects to neuroplasticity and visualization, the research is clear: your br...

What actually strengthens a marriage and what damages it?

In previous episodes, I shared five things women do that strengthen their marriages, five things that weaken them, and the same for men. In this episode, I invited marriage and family therapist Emil Harker to respond.

Emil has over two decades of experience helping couples navigate conflict and build stronger relationships. I wanted to see how a professional therapist would re...

Many people believe the answers to their life, business, and success are somewhere outside of themselves—hidden in the next strategy, the next expert, or the next opportunity. But what if the real breakthrough comes when you learn to trust your own inner guidance?

In this episode of The Andrea Pearson Show, Andrea sits down with Laura Clark, founder of the Wise Living Institute, to talk about the mindset that keeps so many peo...

What if stress isn’t the enemy?

What if obstacles aren’t proof you should quit, but proof you’re growing?

In this conversation with Amelia McHenry, founder of Dodona Coaching and achievement coach for women navigating major life transitions, we challenge the beliefs that hold so many people back:

• That stress means something is wrong

• That pursuing big goals is selfish

• That serving others requires sacrifice and res...

We’re taught that high-achieving habits mean we’re successful.

Early mornings. Late nights. Full calendars. Constant productivity.

But what if those habits are actually the reason things feel like they’re falling apart?

In this conversation with Registered Nurse and mindset coach Amanda Greening, we challenge the belief that achievement automatically equals success. We talk about why self-care isn’t indulgent, ...

What actually makes a marriage strong and lasting? In this episode, I’m talking directly to men about five simple but powerful things you can do to create a happier, more connected marriage.

A lot of people believe women are complicated or impossible to understand, but that’s usually not true. Most women want the same core things: emotional connection, appreciation, partnership, and to feel safe and valued by their husba...

Most people want change, but very few are willing to do the hard things that actually create it.

In this episode, I sit down with fitness trainer, nutritionist, and life coach Sheena Olsen to talk about what real growth looks like when you stop chasing motivation and start choosing discipline instead. We dive into why starting as a beginner matters, how doing uncomfortable things brings out the best parts of us, and why confidence i...

Today happens to be my 15th wedding anniversary, so I wanted to share something I’ve been fascinated by for as long as I can remember: what actually makes marriages happy and strong. Over the years I’ve read the books, taken the classes, and paid close attention to the marriages around me. One thing has become very clear—women often have far more influence over the tone and happiness of their marriage than they re...

Most people think the food industry is about recipes. But great food fails every day. Not because it isn’t good, but because of mindset and business mistakes hardly anyone talks about.

In this episode, Omar Dominguez and I dive into what really makes or breaks food businesses, from restaurants to food trucks and beyond. We talk about why so many food entrepreneurs struggle, the warning signs most owners miss, and the mindset s...

We talk a lot about mindset, growth, and success, but far less about the deeper healing required to sustain any of it.

In this episode, I’m joined by Daxton Johnson, a licensed mental health therapist, youth pastor, and author, to explore how unresolved trauma quietly shapes behavior, self-sabotage, relationships, and long-term goals. Daxton works professionally with individuals and families through Living Waters Counseling an...

If you’re someone who thinks deeply before acting—someone who analyzes, processes, and tries to make smart decisions—you may have been taught that clarity has to come before movement.

In this episode, we unpack why so many capable, intelligent people feel stuck waiting for certainty, confidence, or the “right” plan before they take action, and why that belief often works against them.

This isn’t an...

Most people think credit card rewards are free money, especially if they pay the balance off every month. But research shows credit cards change how much we spend... often costing us far more than the rewards give back.

In this episode, I break down the psychology behind credit cards, why rewards feel so good, and the data showing people consistently spend more when they use them, even when they’re disciplined.

What we cover:

Most people don’t end up running an animal sanctuary on purpose.

In this episode, I’m joined by David Corneal, Executive Director of Friends in Need Animal Sanctuary in Eagle Mountain, Utah—a large animal and exotic sanctuary caring for 300+ animals and supported by a growing volunteer community.

David’s journey started unexpectedly through court-ordered community service. Years later, he became the owner of t...
