In this episode of A Voice and Beyond, we welcome the remarkable Andrea Arlington as our guest. Andrea is a trauma-informed Certified ICF Professional Life Coach, interventionist, minister, former television personality, model, and the author of "Revelations of a Bad Mom."

Andrea bravely shares her powerful journey through generational trauma, family recovery, mental health, homelessness, and addiction. She opens up about her unintended rise to infamy following her daughter’s heroin addiction, which led to thefts from numerous Hollywood celebrities like Orlando Bloom, Lindsay Lohan, and Paris Hilton, a saga documented in the movie "Bling Ring." This episode delves into the generational trauma Andrea unknowingly passed down to her daughter and the profound impact it had on their lives.

Andrea’s upcoming book, "Revelations of a Bad Mom," goes beyond her personal story, addressing the deep-seated insecurities many women, especially mothers, struggle with. It’s a raw and heartfelt exploration of how these insecurities shape our lives and the journey of healing through addiction, loss, and family turmoil. Andrea’s story is one of resilience, showing how she and her daughter have emerged, not just surviving, but thriving.

As a professional life coach, Andrea now dedicates her life to mending the intricate webs of family systems, healing generational trauma, and nurturing relationships, with a keen focus on reconnecting with the often-neglected inner wounded child.

Join us as Andrea Arlington shares her inspiring story and recovery message, aiming to motivate others towards healing and empowerment.
