Welcome friends! I am so excited and humbled that you are here.

My name is Angela and I am a working mom to two adorable kiddos.  Somewhere between working full time, being a wife, being a mom and trying to balance all of the chaos that comes with life in general – I started to feel like I was drowning in a life that was living me, rather than me living it.  I felt lost, uninspired, depleted and frankly in today’s world…not enough.

So, in true self-help junkie fashion, I cracked open all the personal development books, enrolled in all the better yourself workshops, followed all the inspiring and empowering women and even invested my time and money in certifying as a Life Coach with one of the best and most reputable international training academies so that I could help myself and hopefully other women who were finding themselves stuck in a rut and struggling with the juggle of life.

But, here’s the reality.  I have a ton of tools, a lot of resources, and a heaping pile of great information and exercises to help me and anyone else “work through the rut”… but I’m scared.  I struggle with depression and anxiety and a lot of “not enoughness”.   Doubts and fear creep into my head like the lyrics to a boy band song that you can recite at the drop of a hat despite claiming to have never been a fan.

So, how exactly am I going to be able to help other women feel uplifted, inspired, capable, and enough in this very noisy world, when I, myself, struggle with feelings of inadequacy?

Well, I realized something. An “Ah Ha Moment” if you will.  Rather than hiding away my dream of helping other women because I am worried about everything I am not (not thin enough, outgoing enough, confident enough, smart enough, successful enough, blah, blah, blah, etc.), why not find a different vantage point? Why not embrace exactly who I am – a flawed, imperfect, struggling student of life (who, by the way, is traveling on the Hot Mess Express through Choas-town on the daily) and show up to help others by actually practicing all that I have learned and being open to sharing my journey – including the falling and rising and all of the in-betweens that come with life?

So, this is my journey of “walking the walk”.  If I want to encourage women to celebrate who they are and embrace all that makes them unique so that they can create more balance, fun, acceptance, and fulfillment  – then I bes’ be taking a dose of my own medicine don’t ya think?

Here’s to the practice of living authentically on this journey to more joy. Here’s to the rise and the fall and the rise again.  Here’s to the mess…the madness…the beauty…and the breathtaking.  Here’s to it all.

XOXO!
