"I don't know how else to explain it except to say that it WILL be fun."

"I know, it's hard to believe... 'Let's embark on a 6-week exploration of your resistance –it'll be fun!' I don't know how else to explain it except to say that it WILL be fun. You WILL come away with a deeper understanding of what makes you tick but also, more importantly, you'll come away with a deep sense of compassion for yourself that will see you through a great deal. All that AND you'll have picked up a handy lil' habit! What are you waiting for?"

"One of the best things I've ever done for myself."

"Honestly, working with Andrea Engstrom to establish a new Lil' Habit is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Not only did I develop a lifelong practice with inestimable positive effects, but the tools and techniques are mine forever! Andrea is smart, insightful, and empathetic, not to mention hilarious! I'm so very grateful for the work we did together."

"Lil Habit has been hugely helpful in getting me headed in the right direction. The lil' habit I started with was bite size and manageable and not transformative on its face, but it helped me to shift my focus and commit, and it set off a domino effect of behaviors and decisions that propelled me toward my larger goal. Andrea was a great support and guide through the process - asking questions, checking in and keeping me honest. Start Lil and you can achieve big things!"

-DON, Media Executive

"I needed help getting started - taking the first step. I wanted to gain a clearer view of the endgame and not fear the unknown. Andrea provided logical solutions and made the goal seem very obtainable and fun. I gained insights into the pathways to achieve the completion of my project and the confidence in knowing the project is possible to do – I can do it."

– JACEN, Composer & Musician

"Quite frankly, I didn’t realize how empowering it would be to personify my Resistance with a face, a personality, and a voice. But after completing the Resistance exercises, I started seeing how often my Resistance crops up in my thinking patterns, and how my Resistance tries to keep me from following my bliss. I’m now learning the techniques I can use to shift and re-frame that internal dialogue from “No” and “Don’t bother” and “What’s the point?” to “Yes!” and “Don’t give up!” and “It’s worth it!” Then, after literally seeing my Resistance come to life with a beautiful customized illustration? Amazing! Mind-blowing! I now have an incredible new tool in my journey of personal growth."

– RYAN, Educator & Podcaster

"The process of being introduced to the concept of my Resistance and writing up a description of him has been extremely eye-opening. I think I was always conscious of his voice in my head but giving him a form and an active rather than passive voice has completely changed the way I’m thinking and behaving each day, more and more. I now hear his voice and see his subtle sabotage with a new perspective and I’m settling into my lil’ habit of writing with greater joy and ease."

– RW, Artist & Business Owner

"I needed help just starting, pushed over the hump. Andrea really boiled it down to a type of simplicity that I had never thought of. She peeled away layers I hadn’t noticed were there. Got to the nitty gritty. I feel more in control. I have a night time routine which includes choosing in advance, which app and guided meditation I will use the next morning. I’m much more organized."

– TRYSTAN, Office Manager

Checking in a year later...

"I'd abandoned my personal priorities and dropped any level of personal care that I used to have."

"The main problem I was having was a kind of mental fatigue, a creative slump."

"I was feeling more and more distant with the end goal and there was a growing void in my mind and body."

"I was feeling blocked, paralyzed, unable to create. Feeling frustrated, uninspired and overwhelmed."

"I had an aversion to going outside, extreme anxiety (especially around large groups of people), digestive issues and sleeping issues."

"I was putting off moving my body to do other things I was telling myself were more important."

YVETTE, CEO

"You have blown my mind. Where have you been???!!! I am a lifelong consumer of self help, spiritual literature, and am always searching for a plan or tool that will help me do the HARD WORK for the BIG results. I see pieces of the best of all I've studied in the Lil’ Habit workbook. The practices, wisdom and science will be familiar to seekers. The concise and fresh presentation IS AMAZING AND YOU WILL BELIEVE, "Hell, I can do this little workbook." And be excited to do it because what Andrea has really done is freed you from the HARD work for BIG results."

MARGO, Author

"As someone with 20+ years as a professional creative, I know burnout is always an email away. It's important to acquire the tools you need to take care of yourself through the ups and downs of creative work. Andrea has the perfect combination of approachability, insightfulness and a direct manner. She'll not only make a difference in your day-to-day routine, she'll also help you reconnect with your "big picture" creative journey. Andrea understands that self-care is more than a buzzword, it's a powerful tool that takes time, practice and FUN to master. Just contact her, already!"

NATASHA, Healthcare Recruiter

"Tooooo many good things to say about this amazing lady and her amazing work!! I can honestly say her advice, course, and conversations is spot on and beyond helpful. I have learned so much about myself and my relationships. I have personally recommended Andrea to two friends already and I am going to continue to work with her as long as I can. I appreciate Andrea and her energy, and feel lighter after we talk. The emails and material is engaging and fun to explore. Highly highly recommend!! Ten stars"

REBECCA, Activist & Filmmaker

"I overthink everything. So, getting into the habit of moving my body thoughtfully has been a lifelong struggle. Over the years, I had turned what should have been a small and reasonable commitment, into a mountain to climb. But Andrea helped me find a new perspective that inspired me to remold my resistance into a functional, effortless habit. Andrea helped me turn my mountain of inactivity into a lil’ molehill of yoga, dancing, stretching, walking! "

MARK, Business Owner & Extreme Athlete

"I wanted to stop feeling overwhelmed by all of my ambitions. I needed a solution to be more consistent with reaching goals and find a healthier balance and way of living for myself. Now I have less stress and more joy! Dealing with chronic stress, it's a big deal to feel like life can finally flow freely and I can move forward."

PAMELA, Tech Recruiter

"I enjoyed working with Andrea immensely and our sessions were time well spent. Andrea took the time to really listen and understand me and my perspective which resulted in perfectly personalized advice and actionable ideas. Andrea was also good at helping me get out of a negative mindset when something didn't go as planned and when I got stuck which is having a lasting impression and impact on me. I highly recommend the Lil' Habit program!!"
