In this week\'s episode, I am excited to welcome Andrew Carruthers. Andrew\\u2019s journey started as an apprentice at a salon that instantly proved more to be had in the hair industry than could be seen from the outside. In the past 23 years, he has been a full-time hairdresser, salon owner, artistic director, education director, photographer, editorial stylist, educator, and coach both within and outside the hair world.

\\n

\\u201cBoth my paths as a teacher and a personal coach were spawned from a feeling of paying it forward.\\u201d

\\n

Andrew saw first-hand how skilled teachers and his life coach were able to shape a future more expansive than his eyes first envisioned. He wanted to do the same for others, so teaching and coaching became a major focus early in his career. As Artistic Director for Paul Mitchell Schools and Education Director for Sam Villa, Andrew\\u2019s passion turned towards building future teachers, coaches, and leaders. Again, all to offer those gifts that were given to him to the widest audience possible.

\\n

\\u201cEvery coaching client I work with and every class I teach returns inspiration for my own journey.\\u201d

\\n

In his life coaching practice, The Journeyist, Andrew draws on his certification as an mBit (Multiple Brain Integration Techniques) coach/trainer, an Oxygen Advantage Advanced Breathwork facilitator, and his education through Soul Salt Academy and Ultimate Coach University to support people in using their own intuition, compassion, and creativity to grow personally, spiritually, and professionally.

\\n

\\u201cI truly believe that our journeys are our best teachers\\u201d.

\\n

Motorcycle trips, outdoor adventures, meditation, music, and training in Aikido are all directly infused into Andrew\\u2019s vision of life and therefore find their way into every class, every presentation, and every coaching session.

\\n

\\u201cIf you are open to your own journey and ready to explore forward with joy and curiosity, my greatest hope is that I can offer some part of my training and experience to support you on your path.\\u201d

\\n

In this episode, Andrew shares how he lost his voice and realized he needed to speak his truth. Andrew walks us through his journey, and we discuss why it is important to speak our truth and identify opportunities when we need to ground ourselves.
