Welcome to The Power to Flourish—a podcast for gifted, sensitive, and creative women ready to rise beyond cycles of overgiving, emotional overwhelm, and constant striving into a life of beauty, purpose, and deep well-being.
Hosted by positive psychologist and coach Dr. Andrea Lein, this show blends the science of well-being, spiritual wisdom, and the inner artistry of intentional living to help you create a life that feels as good as it looks—radiant, rooted, and real.
Through solo episodes and powerful conversations, we'll explore:
• Emotional well-being, nervous system healing & personal growth
• Positive psychology & the science of flourishing
• Holistic mental health, creativity & intentional living
• Self-leadership, purpose & emotional sovereignty
• Faith, spirituality & the power of inner alignment
Whether you’ve always felt “too much,” struggled to fit in, or sensed you were meant for something more—this space is here to affirm, equip, and empower you.
With over 25 years of experience in psychology, personal transformation, and the psychology of giftedness, Dr. Lein offers a rare blend of clinical insight, spiritual wisdom, and deeply lived experience.
This isn’t just self-help—it’s a sanctuary for transformation.
Grounded in science. Rooted in truth. Devoted to your flourishing.
Because true well-being isn’t about performance.
It’s about coming home—to your brilliance, your presence, and your God-given power to live well and love deeply.
If you’re a woman who feels deeply, thinks intensely, and longs for a more beautiful, meaningful life—you’re in the right place.

The Power to Flourish: Empowering Gifted Women to Heal, Grow & Live Beautifully
How to Live and Work from a Place of Rest (Especially During the Holiday Season)
The holidays are here—or at least it feels like they arrive earlier every year. And if you’re anything like me—or the high-capacity, gifted women I often work with—you may find this season both beautiful and overwhelming.
The joy and nostalgia mingle with exhaustion, and somehow, even the most peaceful moments can feel like one more thing to manage.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I learned to live and work from a place of rest, not just during the holidays but in every season of life. I take you back to a time when I was leading a therapeutic boarding school, running from meeting to meeting, until my body finally said enough. What followed was a long, humbling journey through exhaustion, healing, and eventually, a complete reorientation toward rest—not as something I earned, but as something I received.
Together, we’ll explore:
- How over-responsibility and control can masquerade as “strength”
- What it really means to live from internal peace—even when life isn’t peaceful
- The 3 holistic pillars, supported by research, that supported my healing
- How to bring these principles into your daily rhythms—especially during the busy holiday season
We’ll also talk about why true rest begins not with clearing your calendar, but with shifting your internal state.
At the end, I’ll guide you through a short reflective pause you can return to anytime—a few deep breaths to remind your nervous system.
If you loved this episode, come join me for The Gift of Rest — my live holiday virtual event happening next week on 11/19/25!
In this interactive workshop, we’ll map out your rhythms of peace, design a holiday season that nourishes you, and create space for what truly matters.
