Structured Support for Women in Major Life Transitions

———— WELCOME TO A BETTER YOU LIFE COACHING

I’m not your typical “life” coach.

As a support coach, I work with people who are in the middle of life-changing events, and still trying to hold everything together.

Many of the people I support are caring for loved ones, navigating loss, burnout, divorce, or stepping into a season they didn’t plan for. They’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, and somewhere along the way… they’ve lost themselves.

I understand that place because I’ve lived it.

My purpose is to stand beside you and help you move through it. Not with fluff, but with real support and practical tools to help you manage the stress, clear the mental overload, and start feeling like yourself again.

Together, we focus on getting you grounded, more in control, and moving forward without losing who you are in the process.

If you’re ready to take that first step, let’s start with a conversation.

Andrea Ankner is someone I have the pleasure of calling my friend but our relationship has been so much more than that. She is an incredible listener, straight shooter and one of the most supportive people I know. Her advice on everything is always spot on. Whether it was with my four boys and challenges they have faced through the years or career advice for myself, I could always count on her to be honest and speak from the heart. One of my four boys now, young men, is on the autism spectrum and Andrea was one of the very few people he could connect with when he was younger. He felt her love, acceptance and understanding unlike anyone else. He always loved spending time with her and still thinks of her fondly. Andrea was one of my biggest supporters when I went back to work and decided to pursue my nursing career and start my own business as a health coach. I couldn’t think of anyone more qualified to guide anyone through any obstacles they are facing or helping them peel back the layers of who they want to become.

Andrea’s life has presented her with a variety of problems. All of which she confronted, worked through and processed, until a resolution was presented. Andrea focuses on solutions and I believe that is how she maintains her positive outlook. A quality most desired in times of crisis. Failures in this process are the teachers. Success’s are the qualifiers. Combined, they equal experience.

I didn’t realize how overwhelmed I had become until I started working with Andrea. I was holding everything together for everyone else and completely losing myself in the process. She has a way of cutting through the noise and helping you focus on what actually matters. She’s honest, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to — no pressure, no fluff. Week by week, I started to feel like I could breathe again and think more clearly.

As someone caring for a loved one, I felt like no one truly understood what my days looked like or how heavy everything felt. Andrea does. She’s real, she’s direct, and she says what you need to hear without making you feel judged. She helped me set boundaries I didn’t think were possible and reminded me that I still matter in all of this.

I came to Andrea at a point where I didn’t even recognize myself anymore. I felt stuck, unsure, and mentally exhausted. Her 30-day program gave me structure and small daily steps that actually made a difference. The way she shows up — calm, real, and easy to connect with — made it feel doable. It helped me get out of my head and start showing up for my life again.

Jennifer K., NC
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I wasn’t looking for someone to sugarcoat anything — I needed someone who would be real with me. Andrea has a way of calling you out, but in a way that actually helps you see things differently. She’s honest, down-to-earth, and you never feel judged. Our conversations made me stop avoiding what I already knew deep down. I started showing up differently in my life because of that.

Michelle T., NY
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Didn’t even realize how tired I was until I finally had someone to actually talk to. working with Andrea just felt easy. no pressure, no pretending, no having to hold it all together. she created a space where I could be honest about where I was… and she knew exactly how to meet me there. I’m still figuring things out, but I’m not carrying it the same way anymore. I feel more clear, less overwhelmed, and not so alone in it.

I came to Andrea in the middle of my divorce barely holding it together. I cried… a lot. but she didn’t try to fix me or rush me through it. she just sat with me, asked the right questions, and helped me make sense of everything I was feeling. somewhere in those conversations, I started laughing again… and that’s when I knew something was shifting. little by little, I felt like myself again. if you’re in that kind of season… she gets it.

C.M.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I didn’t realize how much I was carrying until I finally said it out loud. working with Andrea gave me space to slow down, process what was actually going on, and start thinking clearly again. she has a way of asking questions that help you figure things out for yourself without overcomplicating anything. I left each conversation feeling lighter, more grounded, and more clear on what I needed to do next.

T.M.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I don’t usually write reviews, but I wanted to share this in case it helps someone else. working with Andrea has been a huge help. she’s easy to talk to, doesn’t overcomplicate things, and meets you exactly where you are. what stood out to me most is how real she is. she’s honest, but in a way that actually helps you think, not shut down. every conversation helped me feel more steady, more clear, and less stuck in my own head. if you’re overwhelmed or going through something… it’s a different kind of support than you’re used to.

H.S.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I almost didn’t reach out… and looking back, that would’ve been a huge mistake. I came in overwhelmed and completely stuck in my own head. Andrea didn’t try to fix me or throw advice at me. she listened, asked the right questions, and helped me sort through things in a way that actually made sense. somewhere along the way, things started to shift. I wasn’t second-guessing everything anymore. I could think clearly again and actually trust myself. she’s real, easy to talk to, and knows how to help you get back on your feet without making it feel overwhelming. I didn’t expect it to make this big of a difference… but it did.

I’ve had the chance to know Andrea from A Better You Life Coaching on a personal level, and she truly is one of a kind. She’s been through so much in her own life, and instead of letting it harden her, she’s turned it into something really meaningful by helping other people through their hardest seasons. She’s incredibly easy to talk to—like the kind of person you feel comfortable opening up to right away. It honestly feels like you’ve known her for years. There’s just something about her that makes people feel seen, understood, and not so alone. Andrea is such an inspiration to so many. The way she shows up for others, the way she cares,it’s real, and you can feel it. Anyone who crosses paths with her is better for it!

Sometimes life brings forth your calling in unexpected ways, and Andrea has risen to the challenge and more than answered such a call. She consistently shows up for others, whether friend or colleague, with remarkable dedication and enthusiasm. Her own personal experience with grief and adversity have led her to support those often overlooked by society. With every friend and client, she digs to find common ground with her own experiences. Once established, she is astounding at identifying and addressing her clients and friend’s specific needs. By validating their perspectives and creating a safe space for sharing— combined with empathy and consistent, honest communication—she builds trust, security and a genuine sense of community that makes a lasting impact on the individuals she loves and serves.

———— MY APPROACH

So how is my coaching style different?

Let’s talk clinical for just a moment – promise I won’t stay here long. Though life experience and clinical training are foundational, holding space for you is key. I use what’s termed holistic coaching, combined with neurolinguistic programming. Those are big terms, but what do they really mean? It’s most visible in how I create new life scripts with different techniques. This is the secret sauce!

For more, my Q&A page goes into some of the common questions you might have. It all starts with a complimentary 30-minute mini-coaching discovery call. From there, I’ll make recommendations with a customized plan for you, not a five-step formula. Or select from my packages.

Holistic Coaching Approach

I provide support that looks at the whole person not just mental health needs. It considers physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.

Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)

I use neurolinguistic programming (NLP) to promote an inner state shifting.

Hypnolinguistics

I leverage hypnolinguistics to tap into your inner self and replace negative beliefs with positive ones.

Don’t fall short of what true life happiness and satisfaction can be. Schedule your free discovery/mini coaching session so we can talk about what you’ve been through and transition your mindset. Close the past, turn the page of the present, and read your new future.

———— WHAT'S A LIFE SCRIPT, ANDREA?

This is a great question – it has to do with the negative beliefs we tell ourselves in our thoughts.

That’s a great question, especially for those who are juggling the challenges of caregiving. Life scripts are about the stories we tell ourselves, often those nagging, negative beliefs that creep in when we’re feeling overwhelmed or inadequate. As a caregiver, you might find yourself thinking you’re not doing enough or that you’re losing yourself while caring for others. In our sessions, we’ll work together to quiet those doubts and replace them with empowering beliefs, what I call life scripts. These are crafted using your own words to help you retrain your brain, so you can focus on your strengths and the incredible care you provide.

This isn’t therapy that digs into your past. I’ve developed a unique hybrid model that blends consulting and coaching, tailored to what you need in the moment. Whether you’re trying to manage emotional stress, find balance, or simply make it through another tough day, I’ve got a toolbox full of strategies and techniques to support you.

These life scripts will become your roadmap to resilience, helping you stay strong for your loved ones while also caring for yourself. Because unless you embrace a new way forward, you risk being stuck in the same exhausting cycle next year.

Let's Get You On The Right Path
