A lawyer and self-care — you’ve probably never put these two concepts together but they are the exact two concepts that we are bringing together today in my conversation with Andrea Henry!
Andrea Henry is a lawyer and an entrepreneur who leads her own firm. Andrea is approachable, knowledgeable, and someone I have often turned to for years and send my clients to consistently.
In this episode, Andrea shares her own story; from what drove her to really create her own path as it pertains to how she’s going to build a career in the legal system, to how she’s going to build a small business on her own, and the type of impact she wants to have for small business owners. We also talk about how to scale your business and make more money with less time, as well as all of the biggest mistakes that we see small business owners make and what they can do to avoid these major mistakes that lead to heartache and stress down the road. If you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner this is a not-to-miss conversation full of invaluable advice and key insights!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
