I Don't Just Think Big.
I help people make big things happen without burning out
About Me
I’m Andrea Liebross — keynote speaker, bestselling author, podcast host, and creator of She Thinks Big®.
I work with ambitious women whose businesses are already working — and who are now feeling the weight of what they’re carrying.
Revenue is real.
Opportunities are real.
Responsibility is real.
And the decisions matter more than they used to.
I don’t try to convince people to believe.
I help them stop carrying growth alone — so decisions feel steadier, leadership feels clearer, and what they’re building stops feeling fragile.
What I Know To Be True
If you’re here, chances are nothing is broken.
But things are heavier.
The decisions are bigger.
The consequences stretch further.
What used to feel exciting now feels complex — and harder to hold on your own.
You haven’t lost capability.
You’ve outgrown the way you’ve been carrying it.
That moment is familiar to me — because I’ve lived it.
Every Chapter Led Me Here
I didn’t start out as a coach.
I grew up outside Boston, a lifelong Red Sox fan, and headed north to Dartmouth in New Hampshire (Go Big Green). During college, I spent a semester abroad in Siena — and yes, being Italian made that matter.
After graduation, I followed my husband to New York while he was in medical school and landed at a big-box advertising agency in Manhattan. It was my first real exposure to high expectations, fast decisions, and environments where choices had consequences.
Residency took us to Houston, where I earned my master’s degree and learned how to build a life while everything else was still in motion.
Eventually, we landed in Indiana — where I worked in a corporate role recruiting, hiring, and training new business owners, and where we raised two kids who are now young adults.
Across cities, careers, and seasons of life, the pattern was always the same:
As responsibility grows, the way we think, decide, and lead has to evolve with it.
Most people don’t struggle because they lack drive or ambition.
They struggle because the weight keeps increasing — and no one teaches you how to hold it differently.
The Moment That Defined My Work
In the fall of 1990, I was a freshman at Dartmouth, running around the Homecoming bonfire on the Green.
It was massive — a towering structure of wood and heat, burning so bright you could feel it across campus.
Everyone saw the flames.
Everyone felt the heat.
But I couldn’t stop staring at the structure underneath it.
The scaffolding.
The geometry.
Every board measured, balanced, braced — so the fire could rise without collapsing.
And I remember thinking: Someone built that.
Someone understood that fire without structure burns out.
That bonfire became the metaphor for everything I do now.
Because vision is the fire.
Momentum is the spark.
But what determines whether growth lasts is what’s holding it.
Without structure, growth flares — and eventually collapses under its own weight.
You don’t have to build it alone.
My work is about building what holds the fire.
You don’t have to build it alone.
What I Mean By “Belief Infrastructure”
Belief, in my work, isn’t optimism or positive thinking.
It’s the internal structure that allows leaders to make decisions, commit to them, and move forward — even when certainty isn’t available.
When belief is supported:
decisions stop reopening emotionally
leadership steadies under pressure
growth stops feeling fragile
This isn’t motivation.
It’s structure.
What Drives My Work
Everything I do is shaped by lived experience — not theory.

Dartmouth Class of ’94 — where a bonfire taught me that fire needs structure
If you’re building something meaningful — and it’s starting to feel heavier than it should — you’re not behind.
You’re just ready for support that matches the level you’re operating at now.
