Ever feel like you're drowning in the day-to-day chaos—juggling behaviors, bills, broken systems, and just trying to keep it together? In this heartfelt episode, Angie pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest lies we've internalized as parents: that struggle means we're doing something wrong.

But what if… the struggle is actually a signal?
What if you're not stuck, but standing at the edge of your old life, just afraid to step into something new?

💡 In this episode, Angie dives into:

• Why the discomfort you feel might mean you're outgrowing your current story

• How fear—not failure—is what keeps us in toxic patterns

• The tension between holding onto what's familiar and reaching for what's possible

• Real talk about parenting decisions, relationship dynamics, and choosing a new path

• How Human Design (especially strategy & authority) helps you cut through fear and move forward

• A gentle but direct challenge to name the fear behind your struggle—and do something about it

You'll walk away from this one with more clarity, more courage, and permission to stop "fixing" the struggle—and start following your truth instead.

In this episode, I share my perspective on the unexpected evlolution of a friend. I was asked to record an advanced Human Desing reding for my mentor's program, so I offered her a free Human Design reading.

It's not my first time doing a reading... it's part of my coaching practice, and I regularly share insights with others about what I see in there chart.

But this time was different. She was ready. She was on the cusp of outgrowing her old story, and perhaps terrified of the unknown of the next story. But she was ready.

I'd love your thoughts on this episode, and I'd love to help you too. When you're ready, I'm here.

In this raw and relatable episode, Angie dives into one of the sneakiest stressors in parenting: perfectionism. Whether it's trying to be the "calm parent" 24/7, handle every meltdown with grace, or meet invisible standards set by social media, perfectionism keeps so many of us stuck—and disconnected from our kids and ourselves.

Angie shares her own experience with perfectionism (hello, Line 5 pressure and culture gate 62) and how it showed up in both subtle and obvious ways. From the impossible expectations we place on ourselves to the shame spiral that follows when we "mess up," this conversation unpacks why perfectionism thrives in modern parenting—and how to begin breaking free.

• The hidden toll perfectionism takes on your nervous system and relationships

• Why perfectionism is the opposite of connection

• How the myth of "perfect parenting" hurts neurodivergent families especially

• The power of modeling repair over perfection

• How Angie uses Human Design to understand and release perfectionistic patterns

• A simple reminder to stop aiming for perfect, and start showing up real

If you've ever felt like you're not doing "enough," or like one wrong move will mess your kid up for life—this episode is for you.

So, you created the vision. You felt the pull of your future memory.
You even wrote the goal that felt big, bold… maybe even impossible.

Now what?

In this week's episode, I'm walking you through what actually bridges the gap between inspiration and real transformation—and spoiler: it's not more planning.

It's rewriting the narrative you're living inside.

• The sneaky stories that keep you looping in old patterns

• How to consciously choose a new story that matches your vision

• What Human Design can reveal about where you're still holding onto conditioning

• The power of becoming the version of you who already has the life you're dreaming of

This isn't about toxic positivity or faking it till you make it.
It's about telling the truth of your becoming—on purpose.

Holidays can be stressful for many of us - traveling, weather, cooking, in-laws, extended family, expectations, trauma, and so much more. For me, I let fear dictate my holidays for years... and it shifted how I showed up for my kids.

Gratitude is easy when life is flowing.
But what about when it's not?
When your kid is melting down (again).
When your co-parent drops the ball (again).
When your nervous system is fried, your coffee is cold, and you're questioning everything?

In this honest episode, Angie peels back the curtain on what it really looks like to find gratitude when things feel hard—without bypassing the mess, sugar-coating the struggle, or pretending everything is fine when it's not.

You'll learn how true gratitude isn't about ignoring pain—it's about holding it with perspective. And how using your Human Design authority (especially emotional authority!) can guide you back to center when your brain just wants to spiral.

This is an episode about:

• Why gratitude isn't toxic positivity (and how to spot the difference)

• How to find something real to be thankful for—even in the hard moments

• A personal story of finding gratitude in the midst of behavior struggles

• How Human Design authority can guide your emotional clarity and help you shift from reaction to presence

• What happens when we pause long enough to choose how we see things

Whether you're in a tough season or just had a tough morning, this episode will help you reframe, reconnect, and maybe even breathe a little deeper.

Sometimes, the loudest wounds come from what's not said. In this episode of Sometimes Love Isn't Enough, Angie shares a deeply personal reflection on her own go-to parenting pattern: silence.

If you grew up learning to keep the peace or "freeze out" conflict, you may recognize yourself here. Angie unpacks the energetic imprint of going silent on your child—not as punishment, but as self-protection. And she reveals how this well-worn path shaped her relationship with her son, despite her best intentions.

This isn't just about yelling vs. not yelling. It's about energetic withdrawal. Emotional disconnection. The unspoken message kids receive when we pull away instead of leaning in.

Drawing from her own journey, the 59/6 channel in Human Design, and the deeper roots of trauma responses, Angie opens a vulnerable and powerful conversation about:

• Why silence isn't always golden—especially in parenting

• How kids interpret emotional withdrawal

• The internal stories that fuel our need to shut down

• What it looked like to finally break the cycle and reconnect

• The path to safe expression, emotional repair, and conscious connection

If you've ever found yourself freezing up, going quiet, or emotionally checking out when things get hard—this episode will hit home in all the right ways.

Because the truth is: silence might feel safe to us... but to our kids, it often feels like abandonment.

✨ The healing starts with awareness. The reconnection starts with us.
