About the Author
Andrea Mathews
Psychotherapist, author, speaker and radio host, Andrea Mathews promotes authenticity and the authentic self in every endeavor. Andrea believes, as the old Buddhist saying goes, that "The seeker is that which is being sought." What we don't know, have forgotten or repressed, is the fact that the seeker is the soul and the finder is also the soul--or the authentic Self.
