What if the next chapter of your life was not about slowing down, but about finally stepping into your most authentic self?

In this episode of Embrace the Encore, Marie Wallace sits down with transformational coach and keynote speaker Andie Henrich, whose story of reinvention is both powerful and deeply relatable. After more than 25 years leading business transformations at IBM and Infosys, Andie left the corporate world for a mission that fuels her soul: guiding women through midlife transitions with clarity, courage, and authenticity.

Andie shares her journey from corporate burnout to creating a life rooted in alignment, service, and impact. She opens up about battling self-doubt, navigating menopause, and the turning point when she realized a familiar but unfulfilling career was no longer the right path. Now, as the founder of Authenticity Ignited, she helps women reclaim their voice, release guilt, and embrace midlife as a season of wisdom, freedom, and possibility.

Authenticity, Andie explains, is not only a personal practice. It is also a competitive advantage in business and leadership. In this conversation, she reveals the practices that keep her grounded, the tough choices that brought her life back in line with her values, and the legacy she hopes to leave for her children and future generations of women.
