    Originally from the UK, now travelling remotely as “The Wandering Coach”.

    ✅ Who is Katy: Katy Andrews has been travelling the world since 2022, living out her own goals whilst helping others live out theirs. Katy is an INFJ personality and therefore works very well with empaths, spiritualists and advocate-type personalities as well as introverted personalities.

    ✅ Her Experience: Katy has had to deal with many challenges in her life such as toxic environments, adversity, difficult relationships, confidence, being overworked, self-esteem, procrastination and more. Katy’s background is in HR and Coaching and spent around a decade working in the Corporate industry and therefore understands a lot of business challenges in this industry. Katy has Coached employees and individuals through issues such as redundancies and other HR employment issues and has experience in stress management, procrastination, confidence building action taking and goal setting.

    Katy has dealt with procrastination for around two decades. The most recent episode was after a controlling relationship where Katy lost her voice, confidence and overall self-esteem. Taking imperfect action on her travel goals has allowed Katy to gain much more control over her procrastination and her life and it’s her life mission to help as many people as possible gain confidence, increase belief in themselves and take action towards goals.
