Season 2
Is success really just about the numbers? Or is it something deeper? In this episode, Andrea and her co-host, Brenda Stroud, peel back the layers of what success really looks like. Andrea shares her journey of chasing financial milestones like 100K months—only to realize that the truest success comes from the ripple effect of saying yes to helping others break through. Impact, not income, is what lasts. Brenda brings her perspective on investing in heart-led projects in Tuskegee, Alabama, and how serving her community is success at its foundation. Together, they remind us that while financial goals matter, the lives you touch and the legacy you leave are the ultimate measure of success. — CONNECT WITH BRENDA STROUD Learn more about how Brenda helps women real estate investors on her website: https://brendastroud.com/ — CONNECT WITH ANDREA ENGSTROM If you want support on your journey to grow your business, grab your spot in Andrea’s FREE workshop for Women Entrepreneurs: https://andreaengstrom.com/ If you’re a woman entrepreneur, join Andrea’s FREE Facebook group: Bold Women in Business Sisterhood where she shares strategies every week to help you gain Clarity, Confidence and Powerful Connections so you can build the business and the life you deserve.

From BMWs to Olive Trees: Angie’s Leap of Faith in Tuscany What happens when you let go of the “golden handcuffs” and step into the unknown? In this episode, Andrea Engstrom sits down with her dear friend Angie, who traded the fast-paced life of Fort Worth, Texas for a slower, richer life in Tuscany, Italy. Angie’s story is one of courage, surrender, and God’s faithfulness—selling her possessions, leaving behind success as the world defines it, and stepping into a dream God planted in her heart long before she could see it. From divine “God-winks” to building community in a small Italian village, Angie shares how simplifying her life opened her up to peace, purpose, and the joy of living fully present. This is a conversation about faith, freedom, and the beauty of letting go so you can step into the life God has waiting for you.

Today Brenda and I dive into some real girl talk—how your wardrobe, mindset, and habits all connect to your personal brand. We laugh about “comfort is queen” (hello jammie pants on the bottom, professional on top for Zoom life!) and share practical tips for looking put-together without breaking the bank. From TJ Maxx accessories to Ross, Marshalls, and Macy’s “Last Call” clearance racks, there are always budget-friendly ways to style yourself with confidence. If you want to try StitchFix along with Andrea - you can try it out with Andrea's link: https://www.stitchfix.com/invite/szq73vtb3n?utm_campaign=InviteReferral&sod=w&som=c&g=w Andrea shares her own journey of style, from leaning on black as an easy go-to, to embracing color (as a deep autumn, she loves her greens). We talk about mindset blocks around “treating yourself” and how old programming sometimes keeps us from investing in ourselves. Other gems we cover: Why color elevates your brand (and your confidence). The beauty of mixing casual and professional—like blazers with tees and necklaces. Why I’m spending money on stylized brand photos (hint: Bold Confidence is coming!). How changing your look can help you break out of a rut and create fresh energy. The mindset shift of viewing your wardrobe as your personal “uniform.” At the heart of it all: When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you show up bolder—for yourself, your business, and your brand.

Welcome to The Andrea Engstrom Show: For Bold Women in Business. We’re here to help you take bold action, grow your income, and build a life that feels aligned and full of purpose. In today’s episode, I’m joined by my co-host Brenda Stroud and our inspiring guest Caprice Webb—a real estate investor, travel blogger, a hair and makeup artist, and creator of the Wild & Wonderful Silos, a stunning AirB&B experience born from vision, faith, and action. Caprice didn’t wait for the perfect moment. She followed her inspiration—starting with traveling to unique stays across the country, dreaming of bringing something like that to her own backyard. When her community asked for something “cool and close,” Caprice made it happen. What started as a wild idea became a Boho-inspired tiny home AirB&B space that now brings in up to $6,000/month. We talk about how travel can spark creativity, how God led her to the perfect piece of land, and how trusting her instincts (and taking bold risks) helped her build a life she truly loves. From flipping houses to building a tiny home empire, Caprice is proof that your dream can be both wild and possible. Bold Action Challenge: Book a solo AirB&B stay this month. Go somewhere that gives you peace, inspiration, and space to think. Get quiet, get clear—and let God speak to you about what’s next. Want to build a business around your bold vision?

Welcome to The Andrea Engstrom Show: For Bold Women in Business. I’m joined by my brilliant co-host Brenda Stroud, and today we’re diving into a powerful question: Is it time to recalibrate? Whether you’re feeling stuck in comfort, coasting in routine, or sensing a quiet nudge from God—it’s always a good time to pause and reevaluate where you are mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. In this episode, we talk about how to: Do a personal internal audit Discern when it’s time to pivot Know if your current responsibilities support the future you want Recognize when comfort is actually costing you growth Sometimes we’re not stuck—we’re being prepared. And sometimes God is using a season of stillness to lay the foundation for something much bigger. We also explore the power of mentorship, how to identify someone in a more successful season, and why old habits must go to make room for reinvention. Take BOLD Action Challenge: Time to recalibrate. This week, carve out intentional time to pause, reflect, and examine everything—your habits, your mindset, your responsibilities, and your relationships. Ask yourself: “Are these serving the future I want to create?” Then, invest in wise counsel. Talk to someone who’s a few steps ahead—someone in a more successful season—who can offer clarity, perspective, and truth. Growth doesn’t happen alone. It happens when you slow down, listen deeply, and get support for your next bold move. 🎯 Want to build your business with purpose and clarity?

I’m your host, Andrea Engstrom, and I’m joined by my incredible co-host, Brenda Stroud—hey Brenda!

We’re talking about structure, boundaries, 90-day planning, and how to prioritize your personal well-being while building a business that actually fits your vision for life. We even open up about the challenges of perimenopause, mental health, spiritual self-care, and what it means to be a human being—not just a human doing.

From legacy and leadership to naps and non-negotiables, this episode will challenge and inspire you to slow down, get intentional, and build a business you can run—without losing yourself in the process.
