Finding ways forward.
We help change agents empower their communities, businesses and lifestyles one solution at a time.
Andréa founded Better We, Inc. a non-profit corporation to help individuals and organizations with common issues that face all teams, families, and companies. The supporters and audience of Better We, Inc. grew to include The Xstream Network Live (TXNL), with an experienced team of leaders (TXNLExecs) providing training, mentoring, opportunities, information, tips, resources and consulting for almost any need.
Founded in 2007 as Better Me, Inc., our organization was an early pioneer in the collective community, business, and lifestyle development space. As similarly named companies later entered the marketplace, Better Me evolved into Better We, Inc. to better reflect our long-standing community-centered mission and reduce confusion, while maintaining continuity of leadership, vision, and service.
ARY has spoken before 60k people and trained teams of 5-50. It doesn't matter how large or small the audience, Andréa committed to seeing people own their power and be the change in their particular situation.
Andréa believes everyone has a superhero inside them and she's passionate about helping those who want to find their undiscovered talents and gifts.
Born in 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 We, Inc. and The Xstream Network Live (TXNL).
ARY is committed to promoting inclusiveness and collaboration. Her background in various roles (military, social entrepreneur, manager, speaker), as well as her extensive network and influence highlight the unique benefits of engaging with #LivingSugarFree, such as access to resources, training, and networking opportunities, or group coaching for mental and emotional well-being.
