“All of [the] loss and betrayal made me question everything - my body, my worth, my sense of who I was. But this horrible fire of destruction became the fertile ground for transformation. ”
Hello and welcome!
I am Andrea Sorum, a Life Coach and Singer-Songwriter dedicated to bringing out the best in others to live empowered lives. I have a background in music education and performance and occasionally perform and lead community singing alongside my practice.
I live with my two teenage boys and a playful dog in an artist community in Minneapolis. You can follow me on Instagram to see the day to day!
Besides the credentials and highlight reel, I think it’s important for you to know about the struggles I’ve walked through as well. I have learned how to sit with my own pain and discomfort, and I am comfortable sitting beside you in your pain and discomfort, too. This is what I bring to my work as a somatic life coach:
I've walked through divorce — the grief of losing time and connection with my kids, the terrifying, luminous freedom of starting over as a single mom. It taught me how to forgive myself and stay present to my kids and each moment in new ways.
I’ve lived with chronic illness that stripped away everything I loved about my life - my work, being outside in nature, even my ability to talk with loved ones. It taught me how to rebuild a life that gives in a way that energizes me, that feels spacious enough to linger, that centers my values and is sustainable.
I've faced financial fraud so devastating it dismantled all the security I had worked so hard to give myself and my family. It taught me that I have no control over all the variables and made me more generous.
I’ve experienced sexual assault. If you know this particular hardship, you know it is a lifelong teacher. I’ve learned to love myself fiercely each time I recognize those triggers.
All of this loss and betrayal made me question everything - my body, my worth, my sense of who I was. But this horrible fire of destruction became the fertile ground for transformation.
I have recovered, rebuilt and retooled. Not by pushing myself harder, but by slowing myself down and finally listening to my body, my intuition and designing a life that was sustainable.
I bring my whole self to this work: my experience, my hard-won wisdom, my training as a Sacred Depths coach, and my unshakeable conviction that we already have everything we need within us for our own liberation.
This work is for anyone who feels the call — whatever your gender, background, or path. If you are exhausted, unmoored, or standing at the edge of everything you thought you knew, I see you. I have been there. And I would be honored to walk beside you toward the life that is waiting for you.
