Welcome to The Power to Flourish—a podcast for gifted, sensitive, and creative women ready to rise beyond cycles of overgiving, emotional overwhelm, and constant striving into a life of beauty, purpose, and deep well-being.
Hosted by positive psychologist and coach Dr. Andrea Lein, this show blends the science of well-being, spiritual wisdom, and the inner artistry of intentional living to help you create a life that feels as good as it looks—radiant, rooted, and real.
Through solo episodes and powerful conversations, we'll explore:
• Emotional well-being, nervous system healing & personal growth
• Positive psychology & the science of flourishing
• Holistic mental health, creativity & intentional living
• Self-leadership, purpose & emotional sovereignty
• Faith, spirituality & the power of inner alignment
Whether you’ve always felt “too much,” struggled to fit in, or sensed you were meant for something more—this space is here to affirm, equip, and empower you.
With over 25 years of experience in psychology, personal transformation, and the psychology of giftedness, Dr. Lein offers a rare blend of clinical insight, spiritual wisdom, and deeply lived experience.
This isn’t just self-help—it’s a sanctuary for transformation.
Grounded in science. Rooted in truth. Devoted to your flourishing.
Because true well-being isn’t about performance.
It’s about coming home—to your brilliance, your presence, and your God-given power to live well and love deeply.
If you’re a woman who feels deeply, thinks intensely, and longs for a more beautiful, meaningful life—you’re in the right place.

The Power to Flourish: Empowering Gifted Women to Heal, Grow & Live Beautifully
Why Happiness Is Overrated (And Why Joy Matters So Much More)
Have you ever felt like joy is just out of reach?
You’re doing the inner work. You’ve built a meaningful life. You’ve even felt deep gratitude… but the lightness? The delight? The joy?
Still missing.
In this episode, I’m sharing why joy can feel elusive for deep-feeling, gifted women—and how we’ve been taught to confuse it with something far more fragile: happiness.
We’ll explore a beautiful, research-backed path to reclaim joy—not as a fleeting mood, but as a steady, spiritually grounded way of being. I’ll introduce you to the concept of eudaimonia—the deeper kind of well-being that grows through alignment, presence, and psychological richness—and the tiny “micro moments” that can begin to bring it back online.
This conversation is full of gentle re-frames, science-meets-soul insights, and tangible ways to access joy in your everyday life, even (especially) during full or emotionally complex seasons.
If you’re ready to stop chasing emotional highs and start anchoring into something deeper… this one’s for you.
Inside the Episode, We Explore:
- Why happiness is fragile—but joy is foundational
- What psychology gets right (and wrong) about joy
- The difference between hedonic happiness and eudaimonic well-being
- Why gifted women often struggle to feel joy (even when life looks “good”)
- The link between micro-joy and a psychologically rich life
- Four gentle practices to help you access more joy, presence, and emotional depth
