31: Andrea Kingsley Miller

Today’s episode is with my closest friend Andrea Kingsley Miller. We recorded this episode at Andrea’s home during the weekend of my birthday weekend and it was easily one of the BEST birthdays I’ve ever celebrated. Having Andrea as a friend has honestly been the gift I didn’t know I needed. She is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I’ve ever met and I am so glad that we both took a chance at getting to know each other and being intentional about growing our Instagram conversations into an actual friendship. On this episode we discuss the following:   Why I’ll never be anyone’s token Black friend The importance of safe friendship Being your full self in relationships The grief experienced when relationships end   Andrea Miller is a Jesus follower and justice seeker on a journey of discovering what it actually means to pursue both. She’s a fellow sojourner and wilderness wanderer exploring life at the intersection of evolving faith and being fully who God created her to be while making space for others to do the same. With a degree in Communication/PR, she’s worked in church ministry and in the non- profit arena but currently is a full- time mom raising two daughters- Grace (18) and Mary (12). Andrea is also the host of the HerStory Speaks Podcast which she created as a platform for brave women to share their stories over vulnerable conversations. Andrea believes nothing has the power to both break and heal like our stories. The power of collective story telling is central to her passion for lifting up the voices of women on the margins. After living in the Bible Belt for the last 6yrs, Andrea now resides with her family in the Kansas City area. As a recovering people pleaser and enneagram 5, you can usually find her outside connecting with nature or settled on her porch with a good book.   Amanda Seales Podcast Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0JPIy5uSOhAkqikR2LKTfy?si=rPQ4Fg-jRLO8vLZRbr6Krw&dl_branch=1 Follow me on Instagram Check out my website Listen to Andrea’s Podcast  Visit Andrea’s Website Connect with Andrea on Instagram
