Angie Jean Speaks

Let's talk about YOU. No really, YOU. And how it's okay to NOT be defined by someone else, or something else - including your childhood trauma. Angie gets real with her childhood again, but focuses on how she drew that line in the sand to heal, become herself, and not be defined by her past or the roof she lived under for 18 years of her life. YOU DO YOU, BOO BOO! And shine with zero Fs. :)

Have your insecurities formed a false reality in your world, YOU HAVE BEEN BELIEVING your entire life? I have been aiming to please this nonexistent group of judgmental assholes, MY WHOLE LIFE! Say what?!!!!! ---> PROVING TO THEM... that I can do more, and RISE from the shit-storm that was handed to me. I always felt the need to go above and beyond, IN EVERY LITTLE THING to prove MY WORTH. To prove I was NOT my mom. To prove that I am SMART. and TALENTED. THE BEST MOM. And beautiful inside and out. But when do we stop reaching for more "success" and just KNOW.... enough actually is enough? Who we are in this moment, right now..... is enough.

She shares a few childhood memories and how her mother's manipulation has transformed her way of thinking, and her life decisions.
