Andrea Gharritt, MPH, RDN, CLC
Founder of The Bold Life Design
Throughout my coaching career over the past 15 years, I have successfully supported thousands of individuals from all walks of life – executives, surgeons, lawyers, non-profit leaders, managers, creatives, individual contributors & entrepreneurs – in seasons of BIG courage.
Whether it’s making a career pivot, starting or growing a business, leveling up your leadership skills, cultivating an unforgettable professional brand, creating healthy routines, or simply designing for more level-10 joy at home & work, I am honored to be your co-pilot, supporting you in moving through life’s moments of uncertainty with courage & confidence.
My coaching philosophy is rooted in the unwavering belief that all humans deserve & desire security, dignity & belonging. At the core of what I do is support people to belong to themselves (& their bodies), create an insatiable appetite for their lives, design in the direction of what brings them true joy, and go out and have the courage to move whatever mountains they desire to move.
My background as a Registered Dietitian, my work in healthcare in both public & private sectors, and my years of coaching leaders & founders in almost every industry has given me the foundational understanding of what humans need to create meaningful & sustainable change. And as a business owner for the past 9 years, I deeply understand the intricacies of leading a team and wearing many hats at the same time.
Being a human is weird. We are not meant to go at it alone. I look forward to being in your corner in this next season of courage.

The word “coaching” gets thrown around quite a bit these days, making it hard to understand what coaching actually is and what to look for in an excellent coach. (Check out this video to learn a little bit more.)
Here’s the thing, I don’t want you to invest in anything less than extraordinary, especially when it comes to coaching. That is why I have spent the last 13 years honing my talents & building my skillset with education, training, research & reading. I have worked with thousands of individuals from all sorts of backgrounds in all sorts of industries. I continue to prioritize my own growth, development & wellbeing every day so I can show up in the highest service of you every, single session.
I care deeply about this work and believe in it’s power to transform.
And like you, I strive for excellence. I do everything with my full ass.

I am going to be really real with you.
I am NOT the right coach for you if:
You are looking for more serious & less fun.
You desire more achievement for achievements sake.
You want to keep on the armor and masks and be “corporate” & buttoned-up all the time.
You are only interested in work achievement and not in creating space for pleasure, peace & play.
You believe color, art & being bold is unprofessional.
You are looking for a coach who is going to focus on only one very specific part of your life.
I AM the right coach for you if:
You desire achievement that is deeply tied to your purpose.
You have a sense of humor.
You want more space for fun, creativity & play in your life – at work & home.
You want to lead with courage & compassion.
You believe that all humans deserve security, dignity & belonging.
You recognize that being professional & being human can co-exist at the same time.
You welcome the disco ball sparkling in the background of our calls.
Coaching is a vessel for this amazing, intimate, high-energy, high-action relationship between humans. It’s a space for vulnerability and your whole, gritty humanity. And often this relationship is over an extended period of time. So it’s REALLY important that you find a coach with a style, vibe, and energy that fits you.
And in the highest service of YOU, I am going to be super upfront about who I am and who I want to work with.
After working with thousands of high-achievers, here’s what a I know in my bones…
97-year-old You is going to be deeply proud when they look back and take stock of all your purpose-driven accomplishments, the meaningful connections & relationships you fostered, the memories you made, the fun you had, the stepping out of your comfort zone, the trying new things, the standing up for others, but most importantly…
The courage you had to be & live exactly as your Highest Wisdom Self intended for you.
That’s the vision I want to help you bring to life & hold you accountable to. I am so honored and deeply grateful to help you build this life. To find the intersection of your purpose, pleasure & peace. To cultivate some big, move mountains, level 10, resilient JOY.
“I lived a joyful life. MY life. And it wasn’t without it’s challenges, but damn, it was beautiful. I experienced BIG joy. I savored it. I shared it. And I freed others with it. My joy is woven into my legacy.”
- 97-year-old You
