Growth Now Movement with Justin Schenck
Description
In this episode of The Growth Now Movement, I sit down with transformational coach Andrew L. Anderson to talk about something that holds so many high achievers back: unconscious self-sabotage.
Andrew works with successful entrepreneurs, leaders, and professionals who look like they have everything together on the outside but still feel stuck, unfulfilled, or like they keep hitting the same invisible ceiling.
His mission is simple but powerful. He wants to be the last coach someone ever needs.
Andrew explains how he helps people uncover the unconscious emotional root causes behind patterns like procrastination, fear of success, relationship struggles, and financial blocks. Through a powerful process called Mental and Emotional Release, a method developed by Dr. Matt James, Andrew guides clients through deep breakthrough sessions designed to identify and release emotional programming stored in the subconscious mind.
These sessions are intense, often lasting five to six hours, but they are designed to create massive shifts in a single day. Over the last seven and a half years, Andrew has facilitated more than 330 of these breakthrough sessions helping people finally move past the patterns that have kept them stuck for years.
But Andrew's journey into this work wasn't a straight line.
We talk about how his career began in education before navigating divorce, moving into real estate with Keller Williams, and eventually feeling called toward transformational coaching. Along the way, intuition, faith, and the support of key relationships helped him take the leap into the work he now feels deeply aligned with.
Andrew also shares his philosophy on relationships and why he intentionally curates a "Top 10" list of the people he surrounds himself with. We talk about the importance of pruning relationships that drain your energy and building a circle that supports growth, accountability, and purpose.
Beyond coaching, Andrew is a father of seven who prioritizes family dinners, gratitude journaling, prayer, and meditation as daily practices that keep him grounded.
When asked how he defines success, Andrew shares a perspective inspired by Viktor Frankl: success is the worthy pursuit of a fulfilling goal. It's not about chasing achievement for the sake of validation, but about living intentionally and choosing your attitude no matter the circumstances.
This conversation is about identity, purpose, and the inner work required to truly live a fulfilling life.
If you have ever felt like something beneath the surface is holding you back, this episode will open your eyes to what might really be going on.
