Becoming the Woman I Dreamed Of

Hey, I’m Andrea — wife, soon-to-be psychology graduate, cat mom, and founder of Mind Over Chatter.

But before any of that, I was a woman who lived completely in her head.

I spent years battling an inner critic that always had the final say. I was the queen of overthinking — analyzing everything, replaying conversations, and second-guessing every move I made.

I looked “fine” on the outside. But inside? I was overwhelmed, disconnected, and tired of not feeling like myself.

Eventually, I reached a breaking point — the kind where you know something has to change. So I did the work. The real work.

I started peeling back the layers of self-doubt and old conditioning, and I began hearing a new voice — one that was calm, wise, and finally my own.

But my work doesn’t stop there.

As someone currently earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology — graduating Spring 2026 — I also support students as an academic success coach. I know what it’s like to juggle deadlines, manage mental health, and try to stay focused through it all.

That’s why I offer support for students who want structure, motivation, and a reliable partner in their academic journey — someone who gets it and can help you stay aligned with your goals without burning out.

Mind Over Chatter is where personal growth meets real-world support — whether you’re navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or the pressure of school.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me curled up on the couch with my husband and our five (yes, five) cats, enjoying the magic of being in our new home. Other days, I’m at the gym outrunning my own overthinking, or in full student mode — messy bun, snack wrappers all around, and my laptop open with way too many tabs. It’s a balance, and I’m figuring it out just like you.

If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving — whether in life, school, or both — I’m here. I would be honored to walk beside you.
