When we get stuck in patterns in which we find ourselves in situations or relationships that no longer serve us, one way of managing is to externalize the blame and not take the responsibility for our part of it. And another approach is to self-reflect and consider how it is that we are showing up that is allowing the pattern to continue. When Andrea Owen found herself in a fetal position on the floor crying, wondering not only how she got to this point, but more importantly, what she was going to do next, she was able to finally create the change that got her to where she is now. And she has used that awareness and the tools she gained in becoming a coach, as well as being certified in Brene Brown’s work around shame, to coach others in getting out of their own way so they can live fully. In her new book, Make Some Noise, Andrea inspires women to live their kick-ass life through being curious about where they come from.
