About this listen

Most high-achievers are winning on paper but losing themselves. If you feel productive yet disconnected, you’re operating on a system that wasn’t built for this level of complexity.

Welcome to One Spark Away. I’m Andreea Andrei, a Certified Systemic Agile Coach.

I help leaders and professionals move from Default to Design. We bridge the gap between organizational agility and personal emotional depth.

What we touch here:

Self-Leadership: Breaking patterns of overthinking and burnout.

Systemic Awareness: Navigating the "Emotional Recession" with EQ.

Intentional Presence: Leading with authority without losing your empathy.

Your choices don’t stop with you. How you lead yourself shapes the teams you build and the cultures you transform. Stop the autopilot. Reclaim your clarity. If you are ready to reclaim your life, lead with clarity, and build a career that feels as good as it looks, subscribe and turn on the Spark.

    I’m Not a Pro Yet: 15 Minutes on Why I’m Choosing Courage Over Comfort
    Feb 12 2026

    Most leaders don’t struggle because they lack answers, they struggle because they’re disconnected from the emotional patterns shaping their decisions.

    One Spark Away is a global podcast exploring emotional intelligence, leadership and the small inner shifts that quietly change how we lead, decide, and relate to ourselves.

    In a time many researchers describe as an emotional recession, this conversation opens space for a different kind of leadership. Not louder voices. Not faster solutions. But deeper awareness of what’s already at play beneath our habits, reactions and choices.

    For the very first episode, I’m joined by my sister Sorana and we co-create this opening conversation together, from a place that shaped both of us in who we are today: Timișoara, Romania, our hometown.

    Filmed in the beautiful studio @vivoproduction.ro, this episode is both a beginning and a return home.

    As you listen, notice what resonates and what doesn’t.

    Your spark often appears in that awareness.

    In this episode, we explore:

    -Why this podcast matters now

    -Honest emotional intelligence exercises that help name, notice and relate differently to our emotions

    -What the “spark” in One Spark Away truly stands for, and the long-term vision behind this space

    -How transformation often begins through lived experience, including moments from the founder’s own journey

    -Why quieter voices, inner work and presence deserve space in a world that rewards visibility over depth
