INDECISIVE? STUCK?

Overthinking the bejaysus out of everything (Particularly at 1am)?

Can't help feeling envious of others' Insta lives?

SMUG, HANDSTANDING BASTARDS.

Tis you? 👀

  • You’re indecisive about your next steps. And whether or not you need a rescue dog or a holiday
  • Life isn't where you thought it would be by now
  • You find it difficult not to rush around doing all the things, all the time. 
  • Except all the other times, when you attempt to merge with the couch.
  • You find it hard to switch off.
  • You feel like something is missing, no matter what you achieve
  • You elbow yourself for not having enough willpower to stick to your goals. Who put those biscuits in my trolley?

Tis you? 👀

  • You’re indecisive about your next steps. And whether or not you need a rescue dog
  • Life isn't where you thought it would be by now
  • Your energy is a skerrick of what it used to be. You spend the day dreaming of your couch
  • Yet when you faceplant onto the couch, you can't switch off.
  • You feel like something is missing, no matter how many times you reach inbox zero
  • You elbow yourself for not having enough willpower to stick to your goals. Who put those biscuits in my trolley?
  • Motivation is a constant skirmish. A quick Insta break turns into an hour long scroll that only ends when you drop your phone on your face

G’day, I'm Andrea

Back in the dark ages of 2008, I was overthinking everything.

I'd recently quit architecture in a fit of "WTF-am-I-doing-with-my-life?!"

No clue what to do instead.

I'd lay awake trying to figure out my passions. But my mind (Neville) had other pressing matters to consider.

"Why hasn't Adam texted me back? WHY did I eat so much cheese?!"

Clarity wasn't forthcoming.

Project Self - Andrea Featherstone - Bloody Good Life - Mindfulness - decision making - Life Coaching - blog post

I muddled around for a few years, ever hopeful that clarity would strike.

Then I met Cliff, a boss who was kind to me even on the days I was 93% crocodile. He suggested I learn to "tame my mind."

I thought that sounded like nonsensical rubbish

But Cliff was one of the most content, successful & joyful people I'd ever met. I suspected he knew something I didn't.

So I ignored his advice for two years.

Eventually I came back around to the idea of "mind-taming" while vaccuming the mirrored ceiling of a Russian billionaire's superyacht.

It's a long story.  Let's see if I can sum it into 6 squares:

1.

My life changed dramatically as I started to learn to tame my mind. I became less moody. Less stuck in negativity, less overthinking.

Not long after I started practicing, my brother watched me react calmly to a person who used to trigger the shit out of me. He turned to me and said

"Wow, where did psycho Andrea go?"

2.

I was sold.

I set off on a worldwide mission to learn to tame my mind and figure out what I wanted to do with my life...

I met many unexpected teachers along the way, including a white guy called Black Jesus in Nicaragua, and a Danish electrical engineer who later got a tatoo of one of my drawings on her wrist! 🤷‍♀️

3.

As my mind-taming skills improved, my mind became less cluttered with worries and comparison. In turn, my direction became a trillion times clearer.

4.

As I started to follow the clarity, my confidence grew. I stopped freaking out in social situations quite so frequently, and started to find my way to work I bloody love.

Learning to tame my mind caused a u-turn in the overwhelm spiral of my life.

The sense of contentment and clarity I feel now is a far (high pitched) cry from my formerly insecure, pessimistic, very "stuck" self.

I’ve since turned what I learnt into the most practical, relatable, laugh-filled program... a program I wish I'd had back when I was struggling.

Bloody Good Life 1:1 Coaching

An unconventional, 4 month 1:1 coaching program designed to help indecisive overachievers get clear on your direction and confident in your decisions.

Work privately with me and tame your mind in the most practical, fun, and inspiring program ever to be called Bloody Good Life!

If you'd really quite like...

  • To get as clear as country air on your next steps
  • To feel confident you're on the right track for YOU (not Brenda from accounts)
  • The ability switch off so you can enjoy a wee snooze without leaping up to do 12 other things
  • The ability to *actually* follow through on your goals so that you feel that warm glow (hint - you don't need more willpower)
  • To dial down the overthinking so you can find joy in the little things again
  • To be so immersed in following your path that you’ve no room to compare your life to others

...The Bloody Good Life program was made for you

Andrea Featherstone laughing

I'm Andrea, an irreverent mind-tamer, and former cynical pessimist.

I train indecisive, practical people to tame their minds and get clear as country air on their direction. Without a single mention of chakras.

People I work with often describe me as

“Genuine, caring, honest, and no-bullshit”

I love having a laugh (mainly at my own expense), but behold, the professional spiel —

Andrea facilitates unconventional corporate and private mindfulness workshops across Australia, the UK, and NZ for organisations like Deloitte, Omega, BMW, and Tissot, and for the Faculty of Medicine at Monash University, run by Professor Craig Hassed (OAM), world renowned mindfulness expert.

Andrea is the most genuine, caring, and open person it has been my pleasure to work with

One thing that struck me from the beginning is her integrity and also bravery at being honest that she is a human being and not a fictional persona created simply to sell a course.

It’s also very clear that Andrea is well read in her field and will signpost you to relevant articles and resources that provide you with the WHY and HOW.

Rachel, Business Consultant, UK

This truly has been a life changing experience for me and I'd recommend it to anyone!

I knew I was totally missing something. It didn’t matter how many things I ticked off my lists, I still wasn’t loving life. Nobody wants to hear their successful business owner mate who has everything complaining about how hard life is.

My sessions with Andrea were like having a really cool mate that knows heaps of shit about stuff no-one talks about! Everything that Andrea has shown me would be a benefit every person I know.

After BGL 1:1 I’m an improved version of myself, I’m a happier person!

Mark, CEO, Melbourne

BGL 1:1 totally changed my life, it is 100% the best decision I've ever made!

 Andrea is an incredible woman who is extremely relatable, insightful, genuine, and inspiring.

Before BGL1:1 I had been dealing with a painful sense of loneliness. Now, I no longer struggling with loneliness, I’m so much more calm and balanced in my moods and I can see how much more positive I am.

I really liked the fact that Andrea was able to convey complex things like ‘mindfulness’ in a very relatable way, she takes it in manageable steps which makes it much easier to understand.

Paula, Operations Analyst, NZ

Trial it out risk free...

It's really important to me that you love the Bloody Good Life program and get wonderful benefits out of it,

So I offer a 30 day refund guarantee.

Try out the program and if it doesn't feel right for you, just email us within 30 days and you'll get a full refund of all unused coaching sessions, no loop holes.

If it's not right for you, I'd much rather refund you so you can find something that's a better fit for you.

MODULE 1: How to focus on what matters

Do you ever think “I just need some time to think about what I want from my life” but then 5 years whiz by and you still haven’t quite found time?

In this module you’ll be finally making time for yourself to work out what you want from your life. We’ll take a good look at where you’re at with every area of your life and where you want to go.

I’ll give you a simple framework to help your wandering mind stay in the game, and we’ll work it out step by step.

MODULE 2: A closer look at the voice in your head

Ever wondered how that voice in your head got so narky? Ever wondered who that is, that little voice we call our mind? Is it you? And if not, who are you?

You’ll learn all about your mind, what it’s up to, why it can't be trusted, and the science behind it. In this module you’ll begin your mind-taming journey - this is where the magic happens.

After this module your life will literally never be the same.

MODULE 3: Triggers & the science of stressing less
Ever wondered how to stop snapping and how to feel more in control of your emotions? How not to go red and stuttery in meetings? How to manage your stress response? This module is gold.

You’ll learn all about what happens when we’re triggered, what your specific triggers are and where they came from, and what the devil to do when you find yourself flying off the handle because some guy cut you off in traffic. And how to switch off when you’re lying in bed seething at your neighbour for leaving their bins on your footpath.

MODULE 4: How to be confident you're on the right track

Learn the 3 languages of your gut instinct and how to train your brain to understand them again.

You'll get so clear on who you are and what really matters to you that you'll finally feel confident to make decisions that are right for you (a.k.a. not based on fear, people pleasing, or the opinion of Martha down the road.)

MODULE 5: Emotion ninja tricks

Ever been taken over by your emotions so rapidly that you lashed out accidentally, then kicked yourself for a week after? Ever wondered how you can stop freaking out and saying weird things in social situations, or how to manage jealousy, sadness, random biteyness and moods?

You’ll learn all about emotions, what they are, how your thoughts and your emotions work together, and what the bloody hell to do about it so you can become zen as a monk in the eye of a storm and feel like you’re finally one of those confident, calm and collected cucumbers.

MODULE 6: How to tame your mind. Also, that damn meditation thing...

Wondering how on earth you can stop your brain from thinking so that you can sit still for 30 seconds without jumping up to vacuum the house? Feel like meditation is for other folks? Not 100% sure how to feel buckets of joy anymore?

You’ll learn the ins and outs of meditation for practical people with busy minds that Just. Won’t. Stop. You’ll also learn how to get more joy out of daily life, and how to rein in your mind when it’s wandering to suspiciously unhelpful thoughts.

MODULE 7: The plastic brain & how to ditch negativity

Wondering how on earth you can stop your brain from thinking so that you can sit still for 30 seconds without jumping up to vacuum the house? Feel like meditation is for other folks? Not 100% sure how to feel buckets of joy anymore?

You’ll learn the ins and outs of meditation for practical people with busy minds that Just. Won’t. Stop. You’ll also learn how to get more joy out of daily life, and how to rein in your mind when it’s wandering to suspiciously unhelpful thoughts.

Whatever that is.

You’ll also learn the Tea Pot Trick for making decisions with ease, and get all the answers on how to piece together what we’ve learnt to answer the big questions in life. You’ll see how it all fits together like one giant puzzle of bloody goodness, and how you can use everything you’ve learnt to keep changing your life and the lives of those around you forever after.

BONUS #1: Sex & Mindfulness

You’ll learn:

  • How to reduce stress, anxiety, and snappy-trout syndrome with special exercises that I use on an almost daily basis - these work like a charm
  • Comfort zone leaping techniques that will turn the discomfort that holds you back in life into excitement that will propel you to where you want to be

After doing BGL 1:1 I am like a completely different person!

When I stop and look at how far I have come, it really amazes me.

I have gone from a sometimes irrational, snappy bitch who would pretty much lose it at the slightest thing; to a much more positive, confident and calm person. I have started looking at life differently.

Andrea is a BLOODY legend and an incredible person with a talent for what she does. I am SO glad that I made the decision to do BGL 1:1! Andrea has helped me to completely change my life for the better!

Kristin, Real Estate Agent, NZ

BGL 1:1 totally turned my life around. It was the best investment I've ever made in myself and my life

Before BGL 1:1, I was overwhelmed with the feeling that my life was a struggle – work, home, relationships and within myself.

Now my life has done a complete 180 degree turn! I have a completely different outlook and there is so much more ease and joy in my life.

Andrea is inspiring! She’s easy to talk to, honest, and calls things how she sees it. No bullshit!

BGL 1:1 will change your life for the better in so many ways (that you might not have even thought of!)

Michelle, Doctor, Brisbane

My boyfriend says I am now happier and smiley-er

I was living a great life from the outside. But I was exhausted, never energised, stressed, going from task to task. I had a mind that never stopped and I just wasn’t happy.

Every session has been so valuable and I always came away so energised. Since BGL 1:1, I am visibly less stressed, much calmer & have learnt to appreciate so many more things in life.

Don’t wait to get in touch with Andrea, she’ll honestly change your life!

Fi, Marketing Manager, UK

Sign up for a Bloody Good Life

In Heather's words - "Run, don’t walk, to the nearest computer/ phone/ carrier pigeon NOW!"

Thanks to BGL 1:1, my life has completely U-turned in 6 months!

I had completely lost my way in life, I was frustrated, negative and pessimistic.

Working with Andrea I didn’t feel judged for one second. In fact the complete opposite, I felt supported for the first time in a very long time. Forever grateful! It helped me open up.

I now think I am quite a likeable fella again and someone who can achieve his dreams. I believe in myself.

My whole world has changed! Be prepared to take your life to a new level!

Darren, Enterprise Architect, NZ

Since BGL 1:1 my life has changed dramatically.

Before the program I was unable to socialise freely, always feeling like I needed to be someone else.

Andrea is open, caring, knowledgeable, and on point.  BGL is life changing!

My attitude to life is a lot more accepting and open to the good and the bad. I’m able to enjoy more of the small things in life. My decision making ability has improved and I’m able to chose the people I spend time with and the activities I do.

BGL 1:1 is definitely the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

Tennille, Project Manager, UK

BGL 1:1 is amazing, life changing and something everyone should do!

I have always struggled to believe in myself and my abilities. I felt like a hamster on a wheel. I wanted to feel alive again.

Andrea made me so comfortable on that first phone call and along with her honest blog posts I knew she was someone I could work with. Andrea is honest, real, someone I could relate to, easy to talk to and completely non–judgmental.

Now, I don’t get stressed out by a long to-do list, I don’t have as much negative chatter from my mind and when I do I can deal with it, it’s no longer a barrier to my success and happiness.

How is BGL different from all the other mindfulness stuff out there?

BGL is an unconventional mind-taming program developed specifically for practical, indecisive, busy people, using a blend of science, storytelling, humour, and relatable personal examples. It’s fun, and easy-to-implement.

“Working with another mindfulness teacher highlighted to me what a gem your course was!  There are SO MANY PEOPLE in the space teaching mind-transformation and you truly brought the perfect mixture of humility, research, pragmatism and level-headedness to this.” – Dalit, Lawyer

There are many mindfulness courses out there, but they can often be:

  1. Floaty and impractical (= tough to implement)
  2. Very dry (snoozefest!)
  3. Taught by confused folks who see themselves as a wise guru and you as the inferior student (such bollocks!)
  4. Taught by spiritual masters who talk in high-level concepts that are not particularly relatable (not your jam at all, right?)

BGL is the opposite — practical, fun, REAL, down-to-earth and super relatable!

Can I complete the program at my own pace?

The 1:1 coaching sessions are fortnightly for 4 months, so you’ll have 2 weeks to complete each BGL module. If you’re going on holiday, no worries, we’re happy to be flexible when booking in your coaching sessions.

Additionally, you have lifetime access to the BGL modules, so you can come back and review the program anytime.

Many participants report that they keep coming back to the modules months and years after the first time they completed the program and learn something new every time!

How much time do I need to set aside each week?

1.5 hours per week

  • 20 minutes per week to watch the video modules
  • 30 mins per week to fill in the workbooks & practice the techniques
  • 1 hr every second week for our 1:1 Zoom coaching session

We’ve had busy mums, hectic entrepreneurs and CEOs complete the BGL 1:1 coaching program and they’ve all been able to make time and get massive benefits.

Is BGL relevant for men and non-binary people, or just women?

For sure, we welcome and love working with people of all genders, orientations, ages, and races. This is a safe, non-judgemental and inclusive environment in which to learn to tame your mind.

While 80% of BGL participants identify as women, many men have also completed the BGL 1:1 program and loved it – I’ve worked with 21yo school leavers to 75yo old grandfathers.

When does the program start?

The BGL 1:1 program kicks off as soon as you sign up – you’ll receive the intro module straight away, and you get to choose which dates to book in your 1:1 coaching sessions with Andrea. 

Please note there is sometimes a waitlist of 1-2 months from the date you sign up til the date Andrea’s first coaching sessions become available.

The modules are then released and emailed to you the week before each of your coaching sessions.

I already know about mindfulness & I meditate with an app. Is this program still for me?

Mindfulness and meditation are not the same thing… so if you’ve been using an app like Headspace or Calm, you’ve dipped your toe in (nice one!).

We’ve had many BGL participants who were already mindfulness and/or yoga teachers and/or had completed an MBSR course, and they all rave about the BGL program and say it helped them understand how to tame their mind on a more relatable, personal level so that they could finally experience lasting changes.

I’ve coached hundreds of people through the Bloody Good Life program over the past decade, and I practice what I preach, daily! I was unhappy, cynical, unclear, and stuck before I learnt the skills in the BGL program. I’m a living, breathing example of how radically these skills can change your life (which is why I quit my career in architecture to become a mindfulness coach!)

I’m no bullshit, I don’t take myself too seriously, and you’ll find that we laugh and have a lot of fun in our coaching sessions.

I’ve trained with Professor Craig Hassed (OAM), world renowned mindfulness teacher and medical doctor, and completed additional training with Eckhart Tolle, Dan Siegel, and Jack Kornfield.

I also run corporate mindfulness & wellbeing workshops for Smiling Mind, one of the top mindfulness educators in the world, and I work with Dr Craig Hassed, teaching mindfulness to our future doctors at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia

My mind is so busy - I tried meditation & I sucked. Is this program still for me?

Absolutely, almost everyone who does the BGL program has this perception before we start! The busier your mind, the more life chancing you’ll find mindfulness. You’ll learn a new way of practicing that will make it a lot easier.

The BGL program is NOT focussed on meditation, we primarily explore the life-changing daily mind-taming and emotion regulation techniques that I learnt years before I ever learnt to meditate.

What if it doesn't work for me? Can I trial the program?

If you’re not happy, I’m not happy.

Give it a shot risk free, and if the program doesn’t feel like a good fit for you, you have 30 days from the date you sign up to email us for a full refund of your unused coaching sessions. You can check out our refund policy & satisfaction guarantee here.

Should I sign up for BGL 1:1??!

Wellllll yes, but I’m biased! Only you can decide if the program feels like a good fit for you.

You’re welcome to book a free chat with me by clicking here to discuss whether the BGL 1:1 program is right for you. (No pressure to sign up after our chat, it’s not a sales pitch, just a relaxed conversation to make sure we’re a good fit for working together.)

If you’re unsure, listen to your gut instinct, it always knows best. If you feel excited but nervous – you’re on the right track! If you’re unsure how to tune into your gut instinct, that’s one of the many things you’ll learn in the BGL program.

Unsure if Bloody Good Life is right for you?

It can be tough to decide on a program when you’re an indecisive badger...

If you’re fed up with feeling stuck, and keen to see yourself:

  • Clearing out some of that overthinking and self doubt so you can get clear as country air on your next steps...
  • Feeling confident that you're on the right track (no more overthinking the bejaysus out of every decision)...
  • Managing challenging emotions like a pro so you can *actually* take action on things that matter to you...
  • Feeling that warm glowing feeling that comes from living a life that is authentic to YOU (not Karen from accounts)

I wholeheartedly believe that the skills you'll learn in Bloody Good Life are essential life skills that will help you achieve all of the above.

Go with your gut. If you feel excited & nervous at the same time, it's often a sign that you’re on the right track.
