Have you ever felt like you were living your life for everyone else?

Maybe you've spent years trying to earn love, avoid disappointing people, or waiting for someone else to tell you you're enough. But what if everything you've been searching for has been inside you all along?

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with inner glow coach and author Angie Hawkins to explore what it really takes to stop people-pleasing, trust your intuition, and build a life that feels deeply aligned with who you are.

After surviving anxiety, burnout, Hashimoto's disease, and a suicide attempt, Angie shares how her darkest season became the beginning of a profound identity transformation.

Together we talk about healing childhood wounds, nervous system regulation, learning to listen to your body, and why your greatest purpose often begins after life falls apart.

In this episode, we explore:
✨ How people-pleasing disconnects you from yourself
✨ Why your body may be trying to get your attention
✨ The surprising connection between stress, purpose, and physical health
✨ How to rebuild self-worth from the inside out
✨ Simple daily practices to regulate your nervous system and create more joy
✨ Why following what lights you up is often the first step toward your purpose

If you've been craving more freedom, authenticity, and self-trust, this conversation will remind you that your body holds incredible wisdom—and that your next chapter may begin the moment you stop asking everyone else for permission.
