Andréa Raquel - The Sugar Free Coach

Finding ways forward.

I show change agents how to improve their communities, businesses and lifestyles one solution at a time.

In 2007 I founded Better Me, Inc. a not for profit corporation to help individuals and organizations with common issues that face all teams, families, and companies. The supporters and audience of Better Me, Inc. has grown to become The Xstream Network Live (TXNL), with an experienced team of leaders (TXNLExecs) providing information, tips, resources and coaching for almost any need. Together we are the solution.

I've spoken before 60k people and trained teams of 5-50. It doesn't matter how large or small the audience, I'm committed to seeing people own their power and be the change in their particular situation.

I believe everyone has a superhero inside them and I am passionate about helping those who want to find their undiscovered talents and gifts.

Born in Stuttgart, Germany, to military parents, Andréa's life began with a lesson in resilience and adaptability - a foundation that would later become the cornerstone of her work as a Social Entrepreneur and Founder of Better Me, Inc. and The Xstream Network Live (TXNL).

Better Me, Inc. celebrates fifteen years as a registered business on January 1, 2023. Since its inception on August 15, 2007, it has experienced a steady incline in Internet traffic and web buzz.

We have been partners and affiliate member of various trusted names in business. TheXStreamNetworkLive which is a community for socially responsible entrepreneurs has grown since May 2008 and currently receives over 3000 page views per month. For over eight years we have provided free coaching lines, web sites, promotional opportunities, start up advice, donations, sponsorship and life sustaining support for small businesses and entrepreneurs locally and around the world.

A few ways we have improved our community, businesses and lifestyles are through Kiva.com loans; making public service announcements from Ready.gov; donating idol computer space through BOINC and World Community Grid; offering discount and free services such as domain names, consulting and classes; a worldwide interactive talk radio show and a conference series to help small business owners find solutions to challenging issues such as legal support, education and technology.

The Sugar Free Approach To Coaching, evolved into Andrea In The Morning or #AITM, has grown from a weekly 30 minute talk show on Blog Talk Radio to an independent podcast with over 2000 weekly downloads. I hosted Andrea In The Morning a weekly morning show on TXNL Radio. In 2011 the show aired from a new studio in Atlanta live and uncut covering the real issues that affect entrepreneurs and business owners. It has since aired in partnership and from various studios. Now a YouTube Channel, and another podcast evolution called The #LivingSugarFree Lifestyle Show #AITM, continuing to provide information and solutions to help you improve your community, business and lifestyle one solution at a time.

In 2017 we became a certified 'Veteran Ready partner of PsychArmor and are available to provide support and training to veteran facing organizations.

#LivingSugarFree Revealed was published in January of 2019 and is now available worldwide on Amazon in paperback and eBook versions.
