Hello, I’m Angie! I’m a Transformational Life Coach, nature lover, adventure seeker, and avid runner. I live in Grand Junction, Colorado with my husband and two boys where we love to spend our time camping, mountain biking, skiing, and rafting together.
I have always had an innate desire to support others and am naturally curious and compassionate. This desire led to my 18-year career as a nurse, which allowed me to care for many children and families. I am grateful for the knowledge I gained and the opportunities I had to make a difference during my time as a nurse, but I often felt unsettled and anxious at work. I knew that the work I was doing was important and impactful, and it was a career that I had purposefully sought out, so why did I feel so miserable and unfulfilled?!
After devoting a lot of time and energy to my personal growth, I realized that working as a nurse was no longer in alignment with how I wanted to serve others. I felt a strong and persistent pull to realign my work to reflect my primary values of connection and emotional support, which seemed secondary to the medical focus in nursing. This clarity and realization led me to Life Coaching! I am here to support your discovery of more freedom, ease, and connection with your truth, empowering you to live your best life.
I have navigated profound darkness in my internal world. I suffered from symptoms of clinical depression and anxiety for much of my adult life. Despite wanting to be a mom for as long as I can remember and having a loving and supportive husband, I really struggled in the early years of having children. The episodes of depression I experienced became more intense and more frequent, and I often felt like I was stuck in perpetual survival mode. Despite my best efforts and seeking help from medical professionals in a variety of ways, nothing seemed to help. There were times when the darkness was all-consuming and it took every ounce of strength I had to keep moving forward. I eventually hit a breaking point and knew that if I wanted to see my kids grow up and have a chance to experience life in all of its fullness and possibility, it was time to make some big changes and seek out healing in new ways.
It has taken many years of doing deep and challenging internal work to learn how to interact with the depression I once thought would be a constant companion. I have found my way to a place where the light and the dark can co-exist, and believe that each has important lessons to share when I am able to inhabit these spaces with immense curiosity, courage, and self-compassion. It has been the greatest challenge of my life and it feels incredibly important to share what I have learned (and continue to learn) with others. I am committed to my own path of growth and healing and understand the courage and strength required to navigate the path to self-discovery and transformation.
