Linda Andrews, the dynamic Founder of Lila Life, is a beacon of resilience and achievement. Her journey is marked by stellar academic and athletic accomplishments, including her status as an All-American and record-setter at Cardinal Newman High School and her exceptional performance as an NCAA collegiate scholarship swimmer at Rutgers University. Linda's commitment to personal growth is underscored by her triumph over Adverse Childhood Events and her advocacy for Title IX compliance during her time at Rutgers.

Transitioning from collegiate success, Linda embarked on a versatile career path. Beginning in the wellness sector, she excelled as a sales professional before making a significant impact in finance. At Morgan Stanley, Linda took on pivotal business development roles, managing growth initiatives for financial advisors and collaborating with industry leaders to oversee substantial assets. Her dedication to responsible and sustainable investing reflects her deep-seated commitment to financial empowerment and well-being education.

Over the past decade, Linda has honed her expertise across diverse disciplines, including yoga, meditation, mindset coaching, spiritual life coaching, business, marketing, health coaching, and plant-based culinary arts. She has engaged in prestigious programs such as the Accelerate Levan Center at NSU, HerIncubator, Luminary Fellow, Preseed Bootcamp, Milestones by NASDAQ, YC Startup School, and Founders University Intensive with Launch VC, gaining profound insights into startups and entrepreneurship.

In 2013, Linda ventured into entrepreneurship, founding successful wellness brands like Loca Fit Club, Vitamin Linda, Rise to Thrive, FoodSparkle, and ultimately Lila Life. Recognizing the potential in venture capital, she transitioned full-time in 2018 to support early-stage founders and high performers, leveraging her extensive experiences and insights.

Through her acclaimed podcast, "The Lila Life Show," and her consulting and speaking engagements on integrative advisory topics, Linda empowers emerging entrepreneurs by seamlessly integrating business architecture with well-being practices. Inspired by the concept of "lila," or divine play, Linda envisions a world where individuals unlock their full potential through the harmonization of business and well-being.

Linda is also working towards being a thoughtful leader, incorporating her concepts in the physical world through real estate, experiences, and regenerative agriculture. Beyond her professional endeavors, Linda is deeply committed to community support, mentorship, and collaboration with organizations such as Student Aces and 1909. Residing with her husband and pups in West Palm Beach, Florida, Linda finds joy in culinary arts, artistry, amateur farming, aspiring surfing, and dedicated meditation practice.
