The Courage to Be Different

The Courage to Be Different

In this week’s episode of The Andrea Engstrom Show, Brenda and I chat about the ways we’ve been able to free ourselves up to make more of our dreams come true. For me, it has meant being able to move my family to Colorado, to a little mountain town. For Brenda, it’s getting to spend the summer in Tuskegee, in the community she’s had the opportunity to invest her time and money into! In this episode, Brenda and I talk about how we got to this place of getting to live out our dreams, being willing to make the hard calls in our own lives, and how to invest your time and energy so that it will serve you better. If you feel trapped in the cycle of your life, then I encourage you to check out this episode and pay special attention to the Bold Action Challenge.

A Brave Pivot Business and Marriage - Feat: Rachel Engels

This week on The Andrea Engstrom Show, my fabulous co-host Brenda and I had the opportunity to speak with Rachel Engels, an incredible marriage coach and licensed therapist. On today’s episode Rachel shares part of the story of how she eventually made the decision to build her business coaching others in their relationships. She shares about the things she has learned from her own marriage and the choices they had to make as a couple, as well as advice for how you can achieve better communication in your own relationship. Our time with Rachel really resonated with me and I hope it will be an encouragement to you as well! Pay attention to the Take BOLD Action Challenge this week: Take BOLD Action Challenge: Grab a journal or a notepad and spend some time processing on paper– What need is not being met here?

Impact and Income: The Mission Investor Method

In today’s episode of The Andrea Engstrom Show, I am chatting with my fabulous co-host Brenda Stroud about what it has looked like to be a mission investor in an underserved community. Brenda talks about how she desired to do more than generate income–she wanted to create impact in a community that desperately needed someone to invest, not just their money but their time and care. In this episode, we discuss what it takes to be a mission investor, what it can look like when you have the courage to speak up, reach out, and invest in the real people of a community. Brenda also talks about the importance of doing your research and knowing the market you are entering into. As Brenda always says; be ready and willing to pivot! For the Take Bold Action Challenge this week we want you to do some reflection: 1st: Before anything else: take a breath and don’t be so hard on yourself. 2nd: Ask yourself what do I care about and how can I add value? 3rd: What are the gifts and talents you are overlooking? Are you really giving yourself a fair shot? 4th: Set your own standards and expectations. What would qualify as a win for YOU?–Don’t use someone else’s definition of success, come up with your own. 5th: Who do you need to reach out to in order to start taking action? — CONNECT WITH BRENDA STROUD Learn more about how Brenda helps women real estate investors on her website: https://brendastroud.com/ [https://brendastroud.com/] or, reach out to her in the DMs on Facebook! — CONNECT WITH ANDREA ENGSTROM Want to monetize your expertise and build a life that you love by helping others?

From Breaking Point to Building Blocks

Today on The Andrea Engstrom Show my gorgeous co-host Brenda Stroud and I are getting vulnerable. We always want to be real with y’all and so today we are sharing some of the tougher pieces of our stories that have shaped us into the coaches we are today. On today’s podcast we are talking about times in our lives where we felt broken and how those experiences became building blocks for our lives. In this episode we talk about: learning from the challenges in our lives, making conscious choices about who you are going to be, allowing obstacles to take us to the next level, and creating impact rather than just income. Pay attention to the Take BOLD Action Challenge this week which is to REST. Rest is tough when you are trying to make ends meet– but sometimes the most necessary thing you can do. Let God do His thing, so that you can become who you were made to be. — CONNECT WITH BRENDA STROUD Learn more about how Brenda helps women real estate investors on her website: https://brendastroud.com/ [https://brendastroud.com/] or, reach out to her in the DMs on Facebook! — CONNECT WITH ANDREA ENGSTROM Want to monetize your expertise and build a life that you love by helping others?
