Andrea Vitz

Before Andrea Vitz taught emotional sobriety, she had to develop it herself. She describes her former self as defensive, childish, and dishonest. Her determination to become better for her daughter and her relationships became the foundation of her life’s work.

Today, Andrea is a bestselling author, TEDx speaker, Doctor of Chiropractic, and creator of Emotional Sobriety Training™ (EMSO). Her books, The You You’ve Never Met and The Composure Challenge, offer a structured path to examining the beliefs and emotional patterns behind habitual reactions—and developing the maturity, poise, and self-command to live differently. Her work centers on emotional sobriety: freedom from the negative emotions that can turn you into a version of yourself you did not consciously choose.

She is co-founder and president of Lifted Academy, named Best Personal Development Program in California for 2025. Through its advanced personal development curriculum, Andrea teaches high achievers, professionals, dedicated seekers, couples, and families to turn insight into demonstrable change. At the heart of her mission is a conviction: the patterns you have lived with do not have to define the person you become.

A mother and national champion powerlifter, Andrea lives in Northern California, where she continues to teach, write, and train.
