111: From Playboy & Partying to Intuitively Thriving w/ Andrea Lowell

This episode doesn't jam on new topics, but Melissa and her guest find new perspectives on important topics and go deep on abundance and manifestation. Andrea Lowell is an Old Soul on a mission to help everyone reach their own Self-Mastery and Self Actualization. Andrea provides clear guidance in learning to find our values, the difference between lying and denial, and how our beliefs about ourselves can trap us. She also touches on how she learned her purpose after leaving behind a successful career. Additionally, Melissa and Andrea explore how to see the fallacy of our excuses, putting things into their right size, building your courage, why serenity is in the gray (not black and white), and what it means that your body is an ally of your soul.This episode is about self-mastery, radical honesty, and why you should use your drive time to check your spiritual condition!

In complete alignment with her purpose on Earth, she wishes to guide you to yours! Andrea has been working in the realm of Self-Mastery and Self Actualization since 2009, with absolute success! She has dedicated her life to serving the growth of those who desire her specific type of work. Andrea began to wake up to the world in 2001, experiencing a full-blown spiritual awakening in 2012. Since then, she has abandoned herself to guide others to their truest selves. She has shed her former career, ideas, and programming to light the way for others down the same path. This doesn't mean one needs to change everything, but the willingness to do the work to embody their truest essence, gifts, path, and Self Actualization. Andrea has been a coach for over a decade, and her newest online course + mentorship opportunity is truly her gift to the world. The I AM Everything Project is her signature program. It is designed to enable all who take it to become everything they need to maintain the highest frequency, Self Mastery, bliss, self-awareness, and purpose. Find AndreaConnect on InstagramVisit her websiteAndrea's LinktreeAbout the PodcastGrief and Guts is for anyone navigating:Bereaved parentsAging parentsDivorceEmpty nestFertility journeyJob lossRelationship endingMovingThe loss of sense of selfThe loss of life envisionedMeet the hostWhen Melissa Dlugolecki lost her daughter Leyden, in a case termed a catastrophe, she didn't want to live...never mind love life, again.As a bereaved mother, when Melissa lost my daughter Leyden, she never thought she would be happy again. Melissa felt guilty when she started to smile.​As a former educator, Melissa felt trapped by the politics, paperwork, and constricting schedule of the education system.Yet after building a 7-figure business, traveling the world, launching a podcast, writing a book (more to come), and coaching thousands of individuals, she has found one thing to be true for all of us…We have the power to create our own happiness, regardless of circumstances. And there are certain processes and strategies effective in doing so.It's not just a "think positive" method or a "go harder" approach. I intertwine a dance of intangibles around our energy management with tangibles such as action steps, communication strategies, and ways to feel our best.Growth isn't always forward progress. It's messy. It's hard. But it is worth it. And while you work your way to whatever goal you are pursuing, just keep showing up. Life is too short to feel stuck.Connect with MelissaLearn more at Melissa's websiteJoin the conversation on InstagramCreditsThe podcast was edited and mixed by Andrew at 51 features.
