Episode 105: Let Joy Be Your Guide with Andrea Leda

Listen Later

This week’s guest isn’t new to The Startup Sessions. Andrea Leda was featured in Episode 47 and is back with me today to talk about the many changes that have happened since her first appearance.

“If you’re not enjoying it, why are you doing it?”

Andrea Leda is a Spiritual Coach, writer, speaker, Journal Teacher and Guide. Andrea has made it her purpose to help conscious entrepreneurs and soul seekers become grounded and offer their greatest gifts to the world in a very real, natural and joyful way.

Andrea combines powerful coaching with her intuitive gifts to help us fully realize our potential and understand that we don’t interact with the world by watching it, but rather by how we see it.

In this episode, Andrea will discuss how she stepped into her own power by embracing her true calling and making it the nucleus of her work.

“What resistance are you allowing to dictate where you go instead of your truth?”

If you feel that you’re right on the edge of offering your very best to the world, this discussion might just be the nudge that allows you to take a deep breath and make the leap towards the most authentic version of YOU.

And I’m doing something totally new in this episode that I’ve never done before. I’m collaborating with my guest on January 19th and offering a live coaching workshop called Creating a Business with Soul. Be sure to tell us if you’re interested in this event and we’ll send you the details.
