The Magic of Trees & Spooning: A Glimpse into Ordinary Talks with Extraordinary Women, with Andreea Grad

Have you ever wondered about the hidden stories within a simple wooden spoon? Andreea Grad, a fascinating artisan and former accountant and coach, who will make you see these everyday objects in a whole new light.

  • From Pillow to Power Tools: Andreea's creative journey began with soft meditation pillows and a surprising moment of recognition. That spark led her down an unexpected path, where an online video about tiny homes inspired her passion for carving.

  • Tree Whisperer: When a devastating storm hit her city, Andreea felt called to honor the fallen trees. Despite no prior experience, she offered to transform people's lost branches into cherished spoons. Her process is a magical dialogue: "I often find myself talking to the wood," she says.

  • Transformation & Empowerment: Andreea weaves her background in coaching and personal growth into her art. "Woodworking teaches me self-reflection and flexibility," she explains. She believes in the transformative power of creativity and is building an empowering program to help women connect with their own creative potential.
