Empowering Women to Rise with Elegance, Clarity, and Impact.
I’m JoAnn Andrews — founder of Graceful Empowerment. I guide high-achieving women to reclaim their clarity, command their lives with grace, and rise into the next chapter with elegance, purpose, and unstoppable power.
​
After two decades of helping leaders and public health systems navigate complexity and change, I turned my life's greatest heartbreaks into a calling: to support women through their own transitions—divorce, caregiving, reinvention, and rebirth.
​
​​A Woman Who’s Walked the Fire — and Risen in Grace
At 39, I was a global executive, a new mother… and suddenly, a widow.
Two weeks after burying the love of my life, I gave birth to our son. Our daughter was just three. I went from jet-setting across Europe to building a business in rural Northwest Florida — with no life insurance and two babies.
​
That was the beginning of my first rebirth.
I founded Ascendant Healthcare Partners by reading all 2,000+ pages of the Affordable Care Act — twice — identifying the hidden opportunities in federal compliance and translating them into a thriving, nationwide consulting firm.
But I wasn’t done transforming.

From Survival to Sovereignty
For years, I carried the weight of every role—mother, leader, caregiver—without ever pausing to ask what I truly needed. Like many women, I survived by staying strong. But surviving isn’t the same as living.
​
Graceful Empowerment was born from that truth. This is not about hustle or performance. It’s about creating space where women like you can release what’s heavy, realign with what matters, and rise into a life that feels sovereign, sacred, and true.
“JoAnn doesn’t just inspire—she equips. I left every session with clarity, structure, and the confidence to live my life differently. It wasn’t hype. It was transformation I could feel.”
— Susan, Elementary School Teacher - Client, Graceful Empowerment
​
​​
“For the first time in years, I feel aligned with myself again. The space JoAnn created was both sacred and practical. This work changed me.”
— Phyllis, Store Manager- Client, Graceful Empowerment​
​
“Graceful Empowerment gave me permission to stop performing and start living. It was the reset I didn’t know I needed.”
— Laura, New Empty Nester- Client, Graceful Empowerment
