We were 8 months pregnant and not a single person knew. We were entangled in a web of lies we had woven and in an instant, our lives came crashing down. It was June of 1999, it was the first time I ever laid my eyes on her. She was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. I remember thinking to myself, “Damn, the guy who gets that girl is the luckiest guy in the world.” For six long months though, I could only admire her from afar. Finally, the semester’s wrapping up and I realized my time was now or never, so I slipped her a note asking for her phone number. As I watched her scribble something back, my heart was literally just beating right out my chest. I could only think of the worst-case scenario. Instead, written there in beautiful handwriting was her phone number. We exchanged many calls that lasted all night through to the early morning, and with a little bit of magic, we began dating. And that was just the beginning of our journey together. One year later, Emily was eight months pregnant and not a single person knew. It was her best-kept secret but also the worst kind to have. Emily was small and wore big sweaters to cover up the bump. We were young, naive and clueless teenagers. We had some of the toughest conversations of our lives during this period. It didn’t get any easier from there though. We made the very difficult decision to put our unborn son up for adoption. We had several meetings with the local adoption agency, meetings where we sifted through, profiles of potential parents. A couple of strangers would be reaping the rewards of our unplanned pregnancy. They would be happy parents and we would not be parents. At 19, a part of me felt light, relieved from the pressures and responsibilities, but the other part of me felt very heavy. I was weighed down by these deep senses of guilt, shame, and regret. The day came for us to finally sign the adoption papers, but before doing so we met Emily’s doctor for her routine appointment, and what the doctor said next would forever change the course of our future. “Emily, your baby’s too small. You need to stay at the hospital until you give birth.” There is now no choice but to reveal our year-long secret. It was time to tell her parents. And they were not happy, to say the least. Her mom is very traditional East Asian and wanted a dowry in exchange for her daughter. She asked for two goats. Where I was supposed to find two goats? Ultimately, with the love and support of our families, we decided to keep our son. We would be happy parents after all. Sometimes what seems insurmountable at the moment may end up being one of life’s greatest blessings. I’m a testament to that. 17 years ago, I was scared, and I doubted myself every single day because I wasn’t sure if I had what it took to be a good father. And now, I’m so proud to be standing on this stage to be able to share my story with my son who is in attendance tonight. He has no idea how many times he’s pulled me out of the darkest moments of my life with his love and his laughter. I see a part of me in him, and I’m credibly proud of the man he is becoming. Better not be bringing home any baby just yet though. As for my high school sweetheart, there are simply no words for me to describe how much love I have for her. We’ve been together for almost 18 years and now have two more beautiful sons. And even though she’s the last person in the world who’d watch a horror movie with me, she’ll always be the first to laugh at my dad’s jokes. Definitely worth more than two goats. I’ve often heard that to make a relationship work, it needs to be 50/50 but I’ve learned that is absolutely not true. Because love is hard, love is stupid, love is messy, love is blind, love is painful, but in spite of all this, love is still so worth it. Love is when you give 100% and expect zero in return because if Emily and I haven’t given each other everything we had all of these years, those two young teenage parents would’ve never made it here today. Almost two decades ago, remember what I said? The guy who gets that girl is the luckiest man in the world. Who would have ever thought that it would be me?
We are taught sometimes to reject our self. When we act bitchy, as women can, we are told that is not okay. You have to learn to understand yourself to know why this inner something is coming out, this inner bitch, this inner bully, whatever that inner thing inside of you is, was something that you created to protect yourself. If you got angry at yourself for that inner thing, that protects you, then it’s going to be this war inside your head. We created everything that we use as a protective mechanism to protect our self. If we have our inner bully, inner bitch, inner child, an inner victim – these are things that we use to protect ourselves and we all have those. When we learn to love that little defensiveness, we tell our self, it’s okay. We have been taught to reject our self, and that part of our self we have created is to protect our self. What we are going to do is, you no longer need it, and say I love you and I am here for you and I got your back. Call on your inner Christ, Jesus left the comforter and he’s in you if you don’t believe in that, knowing a higher power out, trust in that instead of rejecting yourself for something you created to protect yourself. Because when we use love instead of rejection to dispute anything, love destroys anything that is not of you. When you get that little protective guard up, that want you to react and even if you do react, have it yourself, be light-hearted. Say hey little girl or little guy, I got your back, We all have that thing inside of us that comes out to protect us. If we only get a hammer, everything looks like a nail or bodies created reactive ways to respond to our world according to the ways we are raised. What we are going to do is we are going to reprogram our brain not to respond that way and you do not want it to do by rejecting yourself. You want to do it by owning yourself and laughing at that little child. When your children act in a way that you do not like, you kindly guide them to the way that you want them or you desire for them to be, but you do not reject them. Rejecting any part of yourself is never a good thing. It only leads to a war inside of your head. Learning to love yourself, love that inner self, she comes out to protect you, whatever that is. You are going to say, wait a minute, you are coming out right now and you can just be real. Hey, right now I am in real vulnerable state, do not push me too hard, this bitch is going to come out. Learning to love yourself, just learning to love every part of yourself, the good, the bad, the ugly, because when we can love our self, we can grow. But anything that we reject, comes back with a freaking vengeance. Be careful of this, for what you thought to hate, because it sucks. Hate is never good. You do not want to hate anything, you do not want to reject anything, you want to choose – have preferences and it is going to make your life so much easier. If this resents with you and if not, that’s okay. Just know that love every part of yourself. Love the bitch, love the inner child, love the bully, love all those little things you created in yourself to survive to this moment and you can lay the bully to rest, the inner bitch down and can choose to take the higher out. It feels better not to react to the world, and not to reject things and just to be and have preferences, instead of rejecting things in people, because nobody wants to be rejected. Rejection can cause a lot of pain in people and not just odd about that. It has been an amazing and forming new process. Just allow yourself to be present and witness yourself, witness all of those things that come out in you and see what serves you and what does not anymore and what does not just lay it to rest. It’s okay. It serves you to this point. Have a funeral part that you have to, but love you, God only made one of You and live to the fullest. Without letting yourself get pulled into energies of resistance and struggle and whole lot stuff, not just worth it, it’s not worth it. Be beautiful, be amazing, be powerful and be YOU.
Person 1: I was born with a genetic condition called Cystic Fibrosis. My parents were told that I wasn’t going to live past 12 years old.
Person 2: I went in for about 3 interviews and I was so confident this was the one. And I didn’t get it. That was really hard.
Person 3: For the longest time I also wanted to be a Dad and I’m gay so it’s not like it could be 16 & Pregnant in the backseat of a Chevy or something.
Person 4: Over 400 people came. I was 1 of 10 girls that got called back. He picked everybody in front of who he wanted and he didn’t pick me and I was like, wow. I’ve worked my butt off for this.
Person 5 and 6: So here we were newly married and I didn’t have a job , but it was a time when there wasn’t very much support in regards to women’s rights.
Person 7: I was playing mud football with a bunch of my friends. My kneecap got severely dislocated and I ended up having to have surgery and it was really a terrifying time for me.
Person 8: She read the script, I got it back. Every single page had notes on it. This is the rejection part – You should take writing classes. You’re not funny.
Person 9: I remember the x-ray technician saying to me, You need to be checked into the hospital immediately.
Person 10: Everything is supposed to be golden. It was a business school and I went to an Ivy League business school and I just was like devastated by not having anything happening and seeing all friends, things happen for them.
I know, it’s hard to understand right now, but every delay has a blessing. By the time we’re 30, we’re expected to have everything figured out. But when we’re still failing, getting rejected and push backs, we realize life doesn’t work like that. Often, what appears as a curse can be our biggest blessing. Every breakdown can be a breakthrough. Every failure can be a step forward.
This man played Severus Snape in Harry Potter. He studied Graphic Design before Drama, going back to school to follow his passion at the age of 26. That was in 1972. He got his first BBC role in 1978. His first film role? Not until 1988 when he was 42 years old. His name is Alan Rickman.
This person, prior to publishing the first entry in the series, this person was a single mother on welfare and almost suicidal. During this time, she wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
while looking into becoming a teacher. She was also dealing with an ex-husband and all the challenges of being a single mother. She, of course, is J.K Rowling.
Remember this, someone graduated at 21, but waited for 6 years to get a job. Someone has no education, but was a millionaire at 21. Someone got married at 20 and divorced 5 years later. Someone got married at 35, but found everlasting love.
It’s not being quick, instant or now. It’s about your timing. Something maybe delayed, it may even be denied, but it doesn’t die unless you let it. Every delay has a blessing. If you keep going.
Person 8: And then I think less than one year later I got an Emmy nomination for co-writing an episode of Seinfeld. That opened up my career.
Person 10: I then went on to run a production company for almost 20 years or so. We won an Emmy award
Person 5 & 6: I became the Cultural Coordinator and then the Production Manager if the Public Television Network of the state and then I was hired by a 4 Agency as a Vice President and then I opened my own agency.
Person 1 :There’s no statistic and there’s no number for someone’s desire to fight or someone’s fight inside of them.
Person 4: But maybe, I wasn’t the right person for that particular job but he remembered me for another job.
Person 7: A year later, I found myself at the starting line of a Sprint-Triathlon. And all told, I ended up doing over 50 races including 4 IronMan distance races.
Person 3 : And then, with my son and having a kid, I mean, I just didn’t think that was just not going to happen and it did
Person 1 : Empathy and gratitude is what makes me want to help other people because I know what they’re going through. You remember your dono and you honor them by helping others.
Person 9 : I believe that your mind definitely affects you, if you’re not in that mindset to stay positive. Especially when you’re challenged with an illness.
Person 2: Everything that you’re going through right now, no matter how painful and how hard it is to get through, you’ll get through it and you’ll be stronger because of it.
Are you feeling something is missing in your life , there has to be more than this? Do you wake up with a sense of frustration, stress, and even dread or do you wake up inspired, excited, and ready for whatever comes your way? or do you just want a refresher on re-centering yourself with this calm knowing in all areas of your life?
Nobody can ALWAYS feel up and excited.
We all have our moments,
but if you are mostly NOT excited |
and enjoying your life or content
then you have not intentionally
designed a life you love!
I am living a life I love. It’s not perfect. I have my challenges and adversities. But in a normal day, I wake up excited. I often go to sleep imagining possibilities and opportunities, instead of rehashing the things I regret or fearing worse-case-scenarios.
Who I AM is what I do for a living. I am always seeking new ways to express the inner push of who I am, but overall, most days, I allow my life to be what it was meant to be.
I work with people who are willing and ready to dive in and uncover hidden thought habits and core beliefs that may cause them to be at the whim of there emotions or have fallen short of goals , not express their needs. or just want to realign with there core being by creating a safe place that they feel supported as we rip off the band-aid that has hindered growth!
If you are tired of being told who you are, I will empower you break free from such limitations in your life. discern and evaluate your boundaries as you shift into new ventures in your life!!
Over the years I have personally coached hundreds of people. Some have been through business ventures, i also am professional businesses consultant, where I trained teams and individuals to succeed in a demanding environment while maintaining a core value of living in a present state of being!! I teach learning to be while you do, instead of just doing things or chasing after things and happiness outside oneself.
I have been helping people who are seeking to unclog their lives of fears, judgments and limited beliefs wealth or worth blocks, the expectations and judgments of others, and false programming, thus allowing them to be who they truly are. open to receive what they learn to align to and work towards!
I incorporate mindfulness and meditations that allow you to center yourself in the eye of any storm you may face in life with a lot less stress and wasted energy!
I have had great success empowering many individuals, however there is limited time available for my one on one sessions, so this is why I decided to design this workshop!!!
I WANT TO HELP MORE PEOPLE!!!!!! Not everyone can afford this on a private level and this is why this year I have created this WORKSHOP.
I want to impart to you what is within me, and what, over the years, has shifted so many of my clients lives to a whole new level, this system I have learned really works well. for over all happiness while striving to grow and expand in this beautiful thing called LIFE!!
That is why I have put a team together
to work with me and scale my personal coaching formula
in such a way that I can help MANY MORE people like you

Who am I?
I am a successful business person, world traveler, an entrepreneur, investor, a businesses consultant , a professional recruiter, a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and a friend.
My entire life is dedicated to mastering the discipline of balance and harmonizing not only with who I am but with the people who love me and care for me.
My life is rich, not simply in dollars or wealth, but in love and acceptance, in fulfillment and happiness. Self love and acceptance to truly appreciate those in my life in a more loving way. I have leaned to observe and forgive appreciating others, as my life has not always been so joyous, it has taken a lot of work and a lot of personal investment!!
As I said, my life isn’t perfect. If you observe my life, you will see I am what I teach, I do what I impart, and I have been to a place where you want to be. I have the experience and the track record to facilitate and hold space for you as you allow yourself to align with your own truth and accomplish what you desire, it is a shift from forcing things to happen to aligning with things, a life you love, can and will come true for you.
Here are a few things other people say about me:
Angel is the real deal. If you are looking for someone who will tell you what you want to hear and stroke your ego, don’t ask her to coach you. If you want someone who will, if necessary, hold you by the hand and walk you to a place where YOU can grab the life you want, where you can be the person you want to be, then she is the real deal. She’s tough, smart, and tenacious. If you WANT IT, she will definitely help you find a way to get it! – Jacky, Minnesota
So I’m Angel’s brother. Let me tell you, I have met many “coaches” and “gurus” who may SEEM successful but whose real life is a three-ring circus. Angel brings her whole life into daily focus, she is consistent, and what you see is what you get. her family life reflects positively on her philosophy and approach to empowerment. -Bill Collier (Brother, Harrisburg PA
Through this course you will begin to identify the difference between a life DOING and a life of BEING
You start out with a great vision but life happens and a gap opens up between what you want to do and be, what is actually happening in your life because you haven’t internalized your ideal self or we have so many programs running in the back of our minds, am i enough? are people going to like me? can i do it? what if,, we haven’t learned how to shut down that inner dialog and just be,, listen to our inner essence ,quite the mind and learn how to just with with oneself, we haven’t learnt or we need to realign with who we really are,,
Helping people finding their truth their center their voice and purpose is what i LOVE to do,, it is like what i was BORN to do,, a vessel for healing.
Some call it a clearing, it clears out all that stuff that no longer serve you.
Who would you be without all that??
That has to be real to you. I am going to work with the participants in this course to narrow this gap between your dream/potential and your daily actions and reality!
