In today’s episode, we accompany Andrea on her profound odyssey from a childhood meandering through unstructured streets to a soul searching for sanctuary in the arms of various churches. With her mother's simple directive to attend church on Sundays but lacking deeper guidance, Andrea embarked on a spiritual quest as early as eight years old, exploring the myriad teachings and traditions. Summers spent with her devout religious relatives offered a glimpse into a world of stability and structure she yearned for, leading her to dedicate much of her life to the church.
As an adult within the church's embrace, Andrea discovered herself adrift, her essence and inherent worthiness obscured because of the belief system of the church.
Listen closely as she recounts her soulful journey back to her core, navigating the waters of self-discovery and motherhood.
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Andrea channeled her healing metamorphosis into a published work, offering a beacon of light for others.
In the midst of her transformation, Andrea also learned the profound art of boundaries, recognizing the need to honor her own space and essence amidst the demands of the world around her.
Join us as Andrea's story illuminates the path of self-discovery, healing, and the delicate dance of setting boundaries with love and grace.
