Before the year ends, I’m excited to share one more podcast episode with you that will touch your heart.

Andrea Wilson Woods and I met several years ago when she joined my coach training school. I could tell she had what it took to be an incredible coach. And I was impressed by her skills and background she brought to her work - writing, teaching and acting. She got to work coaching her clients and building her business.

I soon learned that like me, Andrea had also lost her younger sister to cancer. And she has truly turned that loss into something extraordinary that’s changing lives.

Andrea has a passion for advocating for liver cancer, which stemmed from her sister Adrienne’s diagnosis and fight with liver cancer as a child. She uses her knowledge and experience to run Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association, and her for-profit foundation, Cancer University.

Andrea wants to change the cancer paradigm in the United States and she believes to ignite change you have to go to the source: the patient. She wants to teach cancer patients and caregivers how to become advocates for themselves so they can change their cancer journey.

Tune in to discover:

• Her journey of figuring out what work she was called to do (and why she couldn’t work for other people)
• How she developed her coaching business and decided who she was uniquely designed to coach
• Where the idea of Cancer University came from and how she got if off the ground
• How she knows she’s on the right path
• The amazing story of how she became legal guardian of her 8-year-old sister when she was 22
• Why literary agents said her book was amazing but it wouldn’t sell
• The story behind the name of her book “Better Off Bald”
