"Impossible is Nothing" and how that relates to her story. Importance of always failing forward.
In this conversation Angela shares her incredible story and ancestry:
Her investigation and connection with the female ancestors of her family; from Spain, Colombia, Texas and all the way to Japan
Being raised in a family of 11 brothers and sisters by adventuring parents in rural Japan - YES THAT'S RIGHT ELEVEN!
Connecting BACK to her Mother after seeing her as fully human and how that changed her life
How she recovered from an eating disorder and let it teach her not only how to cope and survive but fully recover and thrive
Ancestry - the next generation - the shame and difficulty of becoming a Mum at 19 and how she solo parented, built a life and raised a fierce young woman (who just turned 18!) and raised herself at the same time
Being educated differently and how THAT influenced her life
BEING BOLD and unorthodox - Ange was not raised with normal societal expectations - this means she hasn't been socialised to have the same limits and hang ups as those of us who have been through usual educational and societal routs - learn from this
Remembering that just because someone tells you to do something clearly doesn't mean they are right
She introduces us to the 8 principles in her book 'Place to Grow' giving insight on each one.
