Andrea Urquhart

Hey there! I'm Andrea Urquhart - host of Strengthen Live.

I like dog walks and deep conversations, science based wellbeing insight and carrot cake, good books and people who lead with integrity.

I dislike toxicity in all its forms - especially when people take the power tool of positive psychology and misuse it. I don't like fakery either.

So if you're looking for a corner of the internet where we talk about growing emotional strength and understanding in a healthy way, you've found the right podcast community for you here!

I'm trained professionally in Coaching Psychology and Applied Positive Psychology and I've also lived a life and a half in my 50something years! A cancer and divorce survivor, I enjoy my children and grandchildren and having deep conversations about living a full and personally fulfilling life.

You're so welcome here! I hope you enjoy the Strengthen Live podcast.

Welcome to my Strengthen world!
