Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Andrea Elliott. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Andrea, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
I got my resilience in the gym when I was diagnosed with lupus at age 28. Facing this disease head-on, I committed myself to working out and watching what I ate. Through hard work and determination, I lost 100 pounds, and that journey taught me how strong I truly am. Overcoming those challenges shaped my ability to persevere no matter what life throws at me.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I am an astrologer, spiritual retreat host, serial entrepreneur, and someone deeply rooted in spirituality. Astrology has been a profound tool in my life, helping me understand myself on a much deeper level. It has illuminated my gifts, strengths, and weaknesses, guiding me to embrace my true self and unlock my full potential.
Through my work, I focus on empowering others to connect with their inner purpose, whether it’s through personalized astrology readings or transformational spiritual retreats. What excites me most about what I do is the opportunity to help others discover clarity, healing, and self-awareness. I believe astrology is more than just a tool—it’s a pathway to understanding your story and creating a future aligned with your unique potential.
One of the most special aspects of my work is the spiritual retreats I host in Bali and Guatemala, where I collaborate with indigenous communities to create truly transformative experiences. These retreats are deeply rooted in cultural wisdom, healing practices, and spiritual growth, offering participants a chance to reconnect with themselves on a profound level.
At its core, everything I do is about creating meaningful connections and helping others find their light. Whether it’s through one-on-one sessions or larger events, my goal is to inspire and uplift everyone I work with.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Looking back, the three qualities that were most impactful in my journey were being bold, determined, and empathetic.
Being bold allowed me to take risks, step outside my comfort zone, and pursue paths others might shy away from. It taught me that growth comes from challenging yourself, even when fear tries to hold you back. My advice for anyone starting their journey is to embrace boldness by saying yes to opportunities that scare you and trusting your instincts.
Determination was the fuel that kept me going, even when the road was hard. Whether it was overcoming health challenges, losing 100 pounds, or building my businesses, determination made me push forward when giving up felt easier. To develop this, I encourage others to set clear goals, remind themselves why they started, and break their journey into small, manageable steps. Celebrate progress, no matter how small, because it keeps the fire alive.
Empathy has been the heart of everything I do. It allows me to connect deeply with others, whether through astrology, hosting retreats, or sharing my story. Empathy helped me understand others’ struggles while also being gentle with myself. To cultivate empathy, listen more than you speak, seek to understand others’ perspectives, and practice self-compassion—it all starts with how you treat yourself.
These three qualities have shaped not only my journey but also how I show up for others. My advice is to nurture these qualities within yourself, trust the process, and never stop believing in your ability to grow and thrive.
Tell us what your ideal client would be like?
My ideal client is a woman who is on her spiritual journey and deeply committed to elevating herself. She is open-minded, curious, and seeking to become more in tune with her inner world. Whether she’s looking for guidance through astrology, transformative experiences at spiritual retreats, or deeper self-awareness, my ideal client is ready to do the inner work and embrace growth.
She values authenticity, is willing to explore new perspectives, and has a genuine desire to connect with herself on a soul level. Working with women who are eager to transform and align with their higher purpose is what inspires me the most.
