“Fear is just a choice — fear of what other people think or fear of whether you can do it or not — it’s a choice.” ~Andrea Newberry
How can we “have it all” in life and business and what can we do when things get rough?
Fashion designer Andrea Newberry of Leche Libre is re-designing the power suit with her innovative line of urban chic breastfeeding apparel.
In this episode, we talk about:
*Why she started Leche Libre as a new mom even though she had NEVER designed clothing before!
*What it means to “have it all” as a woman who is a mom and a business owner
*What to do when things get tough
*How Andrea defines success in a way that may not be typical
*Why “just trying to get through” the challenges of life isn’t enough
*The importance of self-care, therapy, journaling and cycling
*How workaholism is an addictive behavior that it actually praised in our society, especially in entrepreneurial circles and what the alternative mentality might be
*How to respond to the impostor voice that says, “You’re not doing enough — you need to work harder!”

“If you had told me five years ago that I’d be doing fashion, I’d have laughed in your face. I have no background in fashion!” ~Andrea Newberry

“Everyone should look inside themselves and try to get in touch with their own inner strength and power, which when we zero in on that, it all of a sudden opens up choice.” ~Andrea Newberry
About Andrea
I’m Andrea, designer and founder of Leche Libre. I’m the mom of two awesome kiddos, Thora and Otto. When I had kids, I didn’t want to change my whole life around. I believe it’s possible and important to integrate our children into our interesting lifestyles. I’m starting Leche Libre to help breastfeeding women represent their own personal style.
