I’m Andreea Funieru,

The TIME Change Strategist

People stare at me in disbelief when I say I know what it’s like to feel suffocated by endless demands, meetings, tasks, and projects that suck the joy out of life. 

They’d never guess that just a few years ago, I was also working around the clock, sending emails during evenings when I should have been enjoying time with my kids.

Multi-tasking frantically with the tiny hope that one day I’ll be able to rest, as I stepped down the hamster wheel.

And we all know,  it’s never easy to “just say no”.

Not for high-achievers like you and me, who take pride in what they do & how good they are at it. 

The thing is, I used to think better planning, more coffee, a more strategic approach would get me out of the hamster wheel. Hoping that it would secure work-free evenings to spend with my little ones who grow up so fast. 

I used to think that it was me who wasn’t good enough at managing everything life threw at me.

I was wrong. 

No matter how hard I was trying to keep all the balls in the air, the problem wasn’t my skill at juggling.

It was having too many balls in the air.

Then, one day, 40 and collapsed on the couch in burnout after putting out yet another office fire, I had to face it..

My daughter, 5 at the time, was playing right next to me. And I couldn’t focus to talk to my own child. I wanted to. But my vision was blurry.

And there, on the couch, in that fog, I had to see.

I had to see that my daughter would never be 5 again, funnily messing up complex words when she got so excited about bugs and snails…

We’ll never have this summer again, and I was missing out already on it, by not being really there.

I don’t even remember what high-stakes project had bled me dry of energy. But I do remember me, looking at the contours of my daughter playing, as if out of reach.

There is a time when we need to see that enough is enough.

And something has to change.

I used to think a life lived outside the fast-lane was an option for artists, hipsters, rich people… other people. Not me.

I was wrong again.

Now, I am a firm believer that there is always time for what matters.

And what matters is something you decide.

YOU DECIDE how you spend your life:

On autopilot, going through the motions of each day, exhausted, overwhelmed, joyless, hurried, wondering if that’s really all there is, in your life.

Or not. 

Too busy to pay attention to anything that’s not urgent, like kids stories, walks in the park, goofing up at dinner time, talking in funny voices and laughing your heart out.

Or not.

Strangled by guilt about everything you’re missing out, each time you’re snapping because you’re just too stressed, each vacation where you worry about what isn’t getting done while you’re away from work, or what imminent disaster will await when you get back.

Or not.

Waiting for someday, when all your ducks will be in a row. Or not.

Because that day isn’t coming.

The ducks will never line up in neat, perfectly aligned rows.

And the truth is, they don’t have to be 😉

What it takes for you to have time for what matters is actually quite different.

And it’s my job and privilege to figure it out with you!

That’s why I became a Change Strategist.

To support people like you. Especially when life is messy and you’re seriously considering escaping to the mountains & never coming back. 

I can help you be time rich in three months or less:

✅ Time for what matters…

✅ Time for secret wishes that were otherwise going to die…

That yoga studio.
That part-time bakery.
That side-gig that makes your heart sing…

✅ Time for more sunsets and less Netflix…

Too good to be true?

I’ve worked with 50+ busy corporates and star moms and helped them see (and grab)
what they wished for.
Simpler, faster, smoother… than what they tried before. 

“When I got back to work after maternity leave, I put a lot of pressure on me to be the same person again, to deliver very fast results – but soon I was struggling,
and I didn’t know what I needed, to be back on track.

We are all different, so what triggers the change is
different for each of us.

For me, change started with a coaching call.

Andreea is a good listener, she has the questions, the perspective, she can unlock minds.

I had forgotten how strong I am, how much I loved my work and being with my friends and family…
and Andreea just helped me
see all this again.

What seemed “Impossible” started to become “I’m possible”…
and you need to get in a place of possibility,
to make change happen.

Many things became possible after that, in my life and career –

and I encourage everyone to try coaching and see
what could become possible.

Worth trying?

You tell me - when you’re done reading yet-another-article
on better time management, or on how to say no…
that doesn't bring any significant change in your life.

The article may be great.

It’s just that if all it took was reading an article, you’d already have it.

And if the best articles and books out there can’t bring you the change you want…

maybe it’s time to try something else.

I’ll have my tweezers ready to pick out the blind spots,
the time thieves and the joy-murderers roaming free
in your calendar and beyond.

Because your days are too precious to grit through
while waiting for the holiday.
