Uncommon Courage is as practical, funny, and grounded in optimism as Andrea herself, and it's your toolkit for a deep-dive journey towards joy, purpose, and the kind of inner transformation that will make a real difference in the world we all share.

In this book, you will discover 108 interlinking strategies to shift your thinking, improve your mood, and lighten your heart.
