-ABOUT ANDREW-
Like You, I've Always Wanted an Extraordinary Life.
When I was young, I had an amazing childhood with a lot of friends and a loving Italian-American family. I was privileged and blessed. I look back at that time with a sense of gratitude and nostalgia. I grew up in Michigan with a twin brother named David and an older brother named Gimmy... yes with a G. It's an Italian thing, I guess?
In 2007, when I was 11 years old, my dad lost his job, then about two months later, our house due to the housing bubble. It was really the first time in my life where I didn’t have immediate access to everything I wanted. My whole view of the world shifted during this time from a sense of security to fear and anxiety for the future. The next couple years were really hard for me, but taught me so much.
When My Drama Began (2007-2010)
The next 3 years threw me a lot more than I was ready for...
I was forced to move away from my friends and the home I loved.
My grandma had a massive stroke and needed 24/7 in-home care.
My family moved into my grandparents house, where my uncle was already living, making 10 people living under one roof to care for my grandma.
My lesbian aunt passed away suddenly.
The main focus of my family/life shifted from growth and excitement to scarcity ,fear, and worry for the future.
I was beginning to realize I was gay and had zero tools to help me deal with my emotions around it.
So, I started eating…. and eating… and eating.
By the time I was 14 years old, I weighed 190 lbs and was told by my doctor that I was morbidly obese (these are the biggest pics I could find, but I was a lot bigger at my max). My mom enrolled me into Medicaid therapy where I would spend an hour each week in complete discomfort talking to a 45 year old man about my poor relationship with my family and my eating. I hated it. It always made me feel like there was something wrong with me.
By the time I was 16, I was using other substances to escape my life. I smoked as much weed and drank as much alcohol as I could get my hands on. I even picked up smoking and I would buy Cheyanne cigars from a liquor store that was known for not checking IDs.
At 18 years old, I got pulled over and went to jail for driving high. I got sentenced with a DUI and decided to take a long-hard look at my life. Something had to change.
The Shift
In 2013, I decided to come out of the closet and began my hunt for purpose. I spent the next 6 years going to community college and testing out just about every single entry-level job I could, looking for something that felt like a truly meaningful source of income.
I tried:
Politics
Childcare
Retail
Restaurants
Construction
Sales
Marketing
Event planning
Health & Wellness
In 2019, after spending 2 years in car sales, I quit my job, sold my things, and bought a 1-way ticket to Barcelona, Spain. I spent the whole year in Spain learning Spanish, teaching English and contemplating my life. I just knew I was meant for something special.
At the end of 2019, my Visa was expiring so I returned to my home town in Michigan. At 24, I was broke, brokenhearted after leaving a relationship in Spain, and lost. I fell into a dark clinical depression.
Out of necessity, I began studying psychology and I decided to work at a psychiatric hospital to help people going through the same thing. I completed my Bachelors in psychology and was on track to become a licensed therapist, but deep in my heart, I knew this was not the path for me.
In November 2021, I stumbled upon a woman named Brooke Castillo who changed my life forever. She taught me about this exciting career called life coaching and athought I was skeptical at first, eventually I just had to sign up for her certification on how to do it. Over the next 6 months, I brought life coaching into the psychiatric hospital and was able to help people in a deeper and more impactful way than any of my co-workers. No, seriously… It was CRAZY how much coaching helped my lovely psych patients. A wave of deep knowing hit me.
AT LAST… I had found what I had always been looking for. Since going all-in on coaching in 2022, my entire life has changed. Below is a short list of how coaching has dramatically improved my life.
How Life Coaching Has Transformed My Life (the short list)
I no longer feel out of control of my emotional eating.
I can actually name and process my emotions without feeling out of control to them.
I am no longer addicted to nicotine after a 9 year battle with addiction
I love myself more, no seriously I actually think I’m pretty cool and that is NOT the narrative I grew up with.
I don’t care if other people agree with my life anymore. This allows me to go after my dreams and create my own special mark.
I set boundaries… and I actually follow through with them.
I no longer say “yes” to make other people happy.
I own a business… that makes real adult money!
I have helped about 100,000 people change their relationship with nicotine.
I have coached about 300 people and have signed about 50 of them into my personal practice.
I'm dating now. I didn't date because I legitimately hated my body.
I am no longer anxiously attached to my boyfriend when I do date.
I have a rockin 'body (not because I needed one to to be happy, but simply because I wanted one!)
I am totally aligned with the person I want to be in the world
I do not compare myself to others nearly as much as I used to
I feel positive emotion about 80% of the time and when I don’t feel positive emotion, I allow myself space to process it without food, porn, drugs or alcohol)
And the list could just keek going…
Today, I am in full belief that life coaching is the best thing since sliced bread, and I can say with certainty that it is my calling. As of April 17, 2024, I am 29 years old and I truy could not be happier with where my life is. A lot people my age dread the dirty 30, but I’m looking forward to it and my future with awe and excitement.
Not only do I want this for you, I know you can have it, too. All you have to do is learn how to manage your thoughts and your emotions around your life and you can’t help but create an incredible and exciting life for yourself.
