Unveiling Purpose: The Empowering Journey of Andrea Crisp

Words of Wellness with Shelly

Educator, Musician, Pastor turned Empowerment Coach. Meet Andrea Crisp! As Andrea shares her professional journey, the one that is most impactful at the moment in her life is her own personal wellness journey. As she has pursued her coaching business and is one of the most genuine, kind people I have encountered, she has silently struggled with her own body image and self-esteem journey. She openly shares with such vulnerability her story of awareness, forgiveness and growth and the fact she is in the "messy middle" of her health journey. Andrea shares with such boldness and is a true inspiration to us all! She is living proof that when we face challenges head-on and come to terms with our truths and reality, that is where the growth happens and anything is possible!!!
Andrea's coaching clients affectionately call her their 'secret weapon' because of her innate ability to identify their potential and champion their unique purpose.

With over 20 years experience as an educator, musician and pastor it took failing time and time again, and being let go from her dream job to realize that her true gifting was as a mindset and success coach. When she's not coaching, writing or hosting her podcast, The Couragecast, you can find her taking a walk out in the woods or hanging out at the local coffee shop with friends. Her first book, "Designed With Purpose" was written in 2011 to help women discover and live out their God given purpose.
