Recovering perfectionist Andrea Matthes is a Writer, Inspirational Speaker, and Entrepreneur who has helped millions of women around the world let go of perfection in order to love themselves more, care for their bodies better and create sustainable habits for a happy, healthy lifestyle. Best known for her viral blog post "10+ Reasons I Love My Ugly Body," Andrea spent 20+ years trapped in a mindset and body that prevented her from loving herself and living the life she dreamed about. In 2011 she found herself weighing 328 pounds, hating herself and her body, going to bed every night feeling like a "failure" because she hadn't perfectly executed her diet and exercise goals...again. She'd lie in bed beating herself up, promising tomorrow would be better-- only to repeat the cycle the next day. In 2012 she had an ah-ha moment and realized that by expecting perfection she was creating her own failure. That's when everything shifted. Andrea changed the way she thought about food, fitness, her body, and the labels others had given her such as: unmotivated, lazy, flakey, and destined to be fat. With the help of weight loss surgery followed by keto, paleo, and counting calories, plus near-daily CrossFit and a complete lifestyle overhaul, Andrea lost 164lbs over the following two years, which was a feat in itself. She went from being sedentary to becoming a triathlete, from struggling with infertility for 18 years to becoming a mom at 38, from feeling hopeless and helpless to empowered and powerful, and most importantly she has gone from being at war with herself and her body to falling madly in love with both. These days Andrea uses her "12 Rules for Living a Happy, Healthy I'mperfect Life" and her "Six Step Approach to Weight Loss" to help women create their own inside-out transformations. Andrea is the founder of I'mperfect Life LLC, the I'mperfect Life Podcast, and I'mperfect Life EVOLve, a membership for women who are serious about letting go of perfection to live their ideal happy, healthy I'mperfect Life(R). Let go of perfection to live your best happy, healthy I'mperfect Life. Learn more at ImperfectLife.com.
