Rebirth and Resilience: Andrea Owen on Navigating Life’s Most Difficult Times

I’m excited to welcome back Andrea Owen! A lot has happened since her last visit in 2021, and she’s here to share her powerful journey over the past few years. It’s exciting to get to speak to her about rebirth and reselience during life’s most difficult times.

We dive into Andrea’s experience during the pandemic and how ‘pandemic time’ reshaped her perspective on life and relationships. She opens up about navigating divorce, facing health challenges, and receiving an autoimmune diagnosis, all while maintaining her commitment to personal growth and self-discovery. Andrea also highlights the importance of advocating for yourself in medical situations and what she’s learned along the way.

We explore how Andrea has embraced sex and intimacy as a path to personal growth, the transformative role of psychedelics therapy, and her journey toward living authentically. This conversation is full of honesty, inspiration, and actionable insights for anyone navigating life’s transitions.

In this episode, Andrea and I cover:

  • The last 4 or so years in Andrea’s life, and how the pandemic, health issues, and divorce have shaped who she is today.
  • Why we all need to slow down and take stock in life’s difficulties, and not gloss over the hard stuff.
  • Dwight Shrute’s wisdom about telling someone you love them.
  • Andrea’s perspective on relationships and divorce.
  • Challenges Andrea faced with her health and the impact of an autoimmune diagnosis.
  • The importance of advocating for oneself in medical situations.
