You don’t need another mindset trick.
You need psychological flexibility.

This is the skill that determines whether you stay stuck… or actually change.
Psychological flexibility has three parts—and none of them can be learned intellectually.

1. Awareness
Being “present” isn’t something you think your way into. It’s a somatic skill.
It’s the difference between reading about ice cream and actually tasting it.
Real awareness happens in the body, in real time.

2. Openness
This is where most people get stuck.
You don’t need to fix your emotions or get rid of them—you need to feel safe enough to experience them. We are conditioned to avoid pain, but avoidance is what keeps pain running your life. This is why support matters.

3. Valued Engagement
Not the values you inherited.
Not what society rewarded you for.
But what actually matters to you when you slow down enough to listen.
This is where alignment replaces urgency.

This work isn’t passive.
It’s experiential, embodied, and deeply personal.

If you’re ready to stop managing symptoms and start changing how you relate to yourself and your life—

I currently have two openings for individual clients.
If this speaks to you, book a free consultation call and let’s see if we’re a fit.

The question that ended my first marriage wasn’t “Why isn’t this working?”
It was: “What do you want?”

When my first marriage was falling apart, I went to therapy looking for answers, insight and instruction.

Instead, my therapist asked me a simple question— that sent me into panic.
What do you want?

I didn’t know.
Not because I was confused—
but because I had been conditioned to comply.
Not because I didn’t want anything—
but because I had never been asked.

I had been trained to comply.
To adapt.
To look outward for the answers.

I had spent a lifetime being shaped by expectations:
the patriarchy, productivity culture, religion, education,
and the quiet message that a “good woman” adapts.

My own desires were irrelevant—until they weren’t.

That question exposed something uncomfortable:
I had built a life without ever consulting myself.

That marriage didn’t fail because we didn’t try hard enough.
It failed because I didn’t know myself.

In the moment when I realized that no amount of achievement, stability, or “doing everything right” can compensate for self-abandonment everything changed.

If you are successful, responsible, admired—and quietly disconnected
If being asked what you want makes you anxious this is why, you were never taught how to claim yourself.

I work with women who are done over-functioning in their own lives.
Women who don’t want surface-level coping tools,
but real internal authority.

If you’re ready for deep, embodied work—
DM me “READY.”

These words reflect what happens when women stop outsourcing their inner authority.

When they begin to listen to themselves.
Trust themselves.
And choose their lives on purpose.

This work isn’t about fixing who you are.
It’s about remembering who you’ve always been—
beneath the roles, the pressure, the expectations.

From the outside, your life works.

You’re capable. Accomplished. Respected.
You’ve done what you were supposed to do—

And yet… something is missing.

Many women arrive here not in crisis,
but in quiet dissatisfaction.
A sense that they’ve outgrown the life they built
while disconnected from themselves.

This work is for women who are ready;
To trust their inner knowing again.
To make decisions that feel honest—not strategic.
To create a life that reflects who they are now, not who they had to be.

DM READY if you feel it.

We spend so much time talking about thoughts and emotions — but rarely about the food we consume and how that effects our mental wellbeing.

Your brain runs on nutrients. Your nervous system needs consistency.
And no amount of positive thinking can override a body that’s under-fed, over-caffeinated, and running on stress hormones.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about awareness.
About choosing foods that support you instead of pushing through exhaustion.

If you’re tired of feeling anxious, wired, or depleted — start with your plate.

Save this.
Share it with someone who could benefit.
And let food become part of your healing, not another thing to control.

And if you’re ready to work at the root level, comment READY.

Often people ask me how I got into the work that I do.

It began with lived experience.
With the moments that cracked me open and forced me to reckon with what I’d been carrying—much of it not even mine.

It began with slowing down enough to listen to my body after years of overriding it.
With noticing how urgency, productivity, and “success” were often trauma responses dressed up as ambition.
With realizing that what I was calling discipline was sometimes just inherited survival.

This work required shadow.
Meeting the parts of me shaped by silence, responsibility, and generational patterns of self-abandonment.
Letting myself see how much of my drive came from nervous systems that never felt safe enough to rest.

I chose alignment over urgency.
Presence over performance.
Truth over spiritual bypassing.

I created spaces I once desperately needed—spaces where you don't have to earn rest, justify your boundaries, or explain your pain away.
Spaces where healing isn’t rushed and growth doesn’t require self-erasure.

I’m learning that leadership doesn’t always look loud or polished or perpetually “on.”
Sometimes leadership looks like quiet assurance.
Like tending to the body and the unconscious before chasing expansion.
Like slowing the lineage forward instead of repeating it.

Everything you see unfolding now was rooted here first.
In the quiet work.
In the unseen unraveling.
In the decision to stop passing down what was never meant to be carried.

If this resonates, it’s not random.
It’s recognition.

Happy New Year ✨

Before you decide who you should do this year…

Let me ask you something more honest.

What are you actually available for in the year ahead?
What are you done tolerating in your body, your nervous system, your emotional life?
What have you understood about yourself—but not yet changed?

If nothing shifted externally this year…
but you felt calmer, more grounded, more trusting of yourself—
would that be enough?

So many thoughtful, capable women want “more ease”
yet keep living with constant tension, stress, and low-grade anxiety as if it’s normal.

It’s not a lack of insight.
It’s not a failure.

Often, It’s about learning how to work with your body, emotions, and inner world—rather than managing them from your head alone.

Let this be the year you stop managing yourself—
and start listening more deeply.

Sit with that.
More soon.

When the days get short and cold, our nervous system naturally shifts.
Our mood dips.
Our energy softens.
Our body asks for slowness… but our culture still pushes for productivity.

That mismatch is what creates the overwhelm, the heaviness, the “why am I like this?” spiral.

This is why tending to your mind and body in winter isn’t indulgent—it’s protective.
It keeps your emotional resilience intact.
It helps your hormones stabilize.
It prevents burnout from taking root in the dark.

Support yourself by choosing one act of warmth:
✨ a grounding tea ritual
✨ candlelight instead of harsh bulbs
✨ a walk that reconnects you to your breath
✨ blankets without guilt
✨ saying no to what drains your life-force

We’ve been told for years that mental health is only about brain chemistry—like your emotions exist in a vacuum, separate from your body, your relationships, your energy, and your daily choices.

But here’s what I’ve seen over and over:
You can take the meds, do the talk therapy, breathe, journal, meditate…
and still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained.

Not because you’re “broken.”
But because your boundaries are exhausted.

When you keep saying yes out of guilt…
When you ignore the knot in your stomach…
When you let people take more than you actually have to give…
When your nervous system never gets to exhale…

No amount of coping skills can compete with that.

This is one of the biggest myths in mental health:
That healing is only internal.
That it lives only “in your head.”

But healing is also how you protect your energy.
How you honor your body’s limits.
How you stop abandoning yourself to stay “nice,” “useful,” or “easy to love.”

This is why I moved out of the traditional psychotherapy model and into a holistic empowerment coaching approach.
Because true healing requires a bigger lens—one that includes:
✨ your emotions
✨ your boundaries
✨ your energy
✨ your body
✨ your lifestyle
✨ your inner truth

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel drained… this is usually the missing piece.

This is a main pillar of the work I do with women how are ready to put themselves first. Visit my website www.drkimandrews.com to schedule a consult with me.

“Hi, I’m Dr. Kim Andrews 🌿 and I’m so excited to reintroduce myself.

For years I worked within the traditional model of psychotherapy. And while it helped many, I couldn’t ignore what I saw missing…

Clients were often given labels and medications but not given the tools to understand why they felt the way they did. The old models are broken, and I no longer want to be a part of a system that is about managing symptoms or prescriptions.

In the traditional model there is little space for the body, for emotions stored deep inside, for the food we eat, the energy we carry, or the ways our daily choices shape our mental health.

I realized healing isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about addressing the root. It’s about connecting mind, body, and spirit so we don’t just cope, we thrive.

That’s why I working to create "Better Than Therapy" - Holistic Mental Health Coaching. A space for women who are ready to trust themselves, release old patterns, and feel vibrant again. Are you showing up, handling responsibilities, and doing all the right things.....But inside you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I see you and I want you to know life does not have to be this way.

Here you’ll find tools for mental health coaching, emotional wellness, mindfulness, somatic healing, natural remedies, and energy work.

👉 Have you ever felt “stuck” in the medical model of mental health? Share below—I’d love to hear your experience.

“Befriending Your Anxiety” This group is specifically designed to provide support and guidance for women who are looking to better understand and manage their anxiety. The first group will be held on Zoom on January 30, 2024 at 7pm.

There are two spots available in the group if you know of anyone that would be interested please pass on this information, and tell them to contact me. This is the first time I'm running this program, and because it's a beta round, I'll be offering it at a highly discounted rate, in exchange for your feedback.

1. Understanding Anxiety: We will discuss what anxiety is and what it is not, it's common triggers, and how it manifests in our lives. By gaining a deeper understanding of anxiety, we can begin the process of befriending it.

2. Exploring Trauma: Together, we will explore the impact of trauma on the nervous system and how it relates to anxiety. This knowledge will empower you to address underlying issues that contribute to your anxious experiences.

3. Nervous System Regulation: I will introduce breathwork and meditation practices that can help regulate the nervous system. These techniques can be powerful tools in managing anxiety and promoting overall well-being.

4. Engaging Discussions: Our group sessions foster an environment where open discussions are encouraged. You'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, ask questions, and learn from others who are on a similar journey.

I believe that by coming together as a group of supportive women, we can navigate through our anxieties with greater ease and understanding.

If you have any questions or need further information about the group or upcoming sessions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I am here to assist you every step of the way!
