Pause for Unexpected Community

A Bonus Episode with the my Virtual Book Club Baddies

What happens when the community you never planned for becomes one that carries you?

In this special bonus episode of The Dynamic Pause® Podcast, Coach Angie is joined by four members of her virtual book club. Tranise Brown, Alecia Hector, Cheryl Brown and Terri Miller share a rich, honest, and deeply human conversation. What started as a shared love of books during the pandemic became something far more significant: a sisterhood rooted in faith, motherhood, leadership, healing, and authentic connection.

This conversation moves through it all. Forgiving what you cannot forget, navigating womanhood and leadership across generations, holding space for grief and growth, and discovering what it really means to be seen, loved, and supported in community.

In this episode you will discover:
✦ What genuine sisterhood looks like across different life stages and professional paths
✦ How forgiveness and healing exist on their own separate timelines

What happens when you finally stop chasing and start building from a place of peace instead?

In this episode of The Dynamic Pause® Podcast, Coach Angie sits down with Bryan Mesa and regenerative farmer, entrepreneur, and thw founder of De La Mesa Farms in Tacoma, Washington.

It is one of profound transformation, having rebuilt his life from the ground up after overcoming addiction and trauma.

This is a raw, grounded, and deeply honest conversation about what it truly means to pause the chase, reconnect to purpose, and lead from lived experience rather than theory.

In this episode you will discover:
✦ How a vision and a $100 gift card became a thriving regenerative farm
✦ What overcoming addiction and rebuilding from trauma taught Bryan about leadership
✦ Why reconnecting to land and culture is central to reconnecting to yourself
