From the outside, it looked as if I had it all…

A great marriage, successful career, and beautiful home life. However, on the inside, I felt alone, hopeless, and unfulfilled in my life. Each day I woke up, I constantly questioned whether I should stay because of the “memories" and “external things” that I had or listen to what my soul yearned for. After many attempts to fix myself and the relationship, I realized that it wasn’t in alignment with my beliefs and values, so I chose to leave my marriage and start my new journey.

 
 

After I made the decision to leave, it was my time to relearn who I was and what I wanted, for once in my life. The “people pleaser” in me had enough and was ready to put myself first. This was the start of me stepping into the power that I knew that was in me.

Through my journey, there were many different emotions that showed up and resurfaced which I had been suppressing for years.  Even though I felt at peace with my decision, my healing began we I started to heal my inner child and really became present with myself. Through my inner child work, I realized I had both mother and father wounds, which I didn’t know existed in me. My parents were great parents, but I recognized they were wounded children, raising their own children. By acknowledging my own feelings and interpretations as a child, this allowed me to forgive and release the patterns that were keeping me stuck in my life. This is when I started to feel less anxious, happiness, and joy in my life.

I look back now and I am so grateful that I decided to change my story. I realized that life is too short and we don’t have to feel like we are only existing. We are all deserving of happiness, love, and feeling valued in all aspects of our lives.

My favorite quote from Ram Dass…

“We are all just walking each other home.”

All about me…

  • I knew I wanted to be a nurse since I was in high school. I loved helping people and was fascinated by the human body. After high school, I went right into college to start my journey in becoming a nurse.

    My nursing career began in 2006 when I became a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). Then in 2008, I became a Registered Nurse (RN). My first job out of school was in a Wound Care Clinic in Orange County. Yes, I am a Southern California girl at heart. I later worked in other various units: Surgical, Cardiac, Emergency Department, Gastroenterology, and Interventional Radiology. My favorite department to work in is Interventional Radiology.

    The back story…I decided to move to Northern California in 2010 after my father was diagnosed with cancer, Peritoneal Mesothelioma. His battle with cancer ended, 4 years after he was diagnosed. The last 2 years of his life, I got to spend some precious moments with him which was very healing for our relationship. I can remember meeting my dad for breakfast after my 12-hour night shift. Even though I was exhausted from my crazy shift, in the Emergency Department (ED), I looked forward to drinking a cup of coffee and catching up with my dad. While my dad was battling cancer, my relationship with my mother was strained for 13 years and was non-existent. This is a very long story and someday I will share it. For now, I send my mom love and appreciate the strength and wisdom she gave me in my life.

    Two weeks after moving up to Fresno, I met my now, ex-husband. It was the fairytale story, we met in the ED, he was the Fireman bringing in the patient and I was the nurse who received the patient. I guess I can say, it was love at bedside report. I’m sure all the Grey’s Anatomy fans and medical people reading this, will get a good laugh reading that last sentence.

    After my dad’s passing, we moved to Livermore, bought a house, got married, and had 2 kids. Life was supposed to be picture perfect from the outside, but it wasn’t.

    When I had both of my children, I suffered from postpartum depression, which was very unsettling. It brought up many thoughts and feelings that I didn’t understand. I thought that since I was the oldest of 5 siblings that I knew everything how to raise a child. Lets just say, I was very wrong.

    I noticed that after I had my children, my wounded inner child really came forward. There were many smoke alarms that went off, but I didn’t understand where they were coming from. It wasn’t until I found an article about “Healing your Inner Child.” Every sentence I read connected the dots, as to why I felt the way I had been feeling for years. It was a major game changer to my healing journey after my divorce. So, I began to really create space for myself to be present and unconditionally love my little Angela that was in me. I realized that being the best parent to myself is the greatest gift that allowed me to heal.

    With all that being said, I knew I was made for something more than just being a nurse. It wasn’t until I saw a psychic who told me she saw me coaching people and there would be a career change for me in 2 years. Yes, it sounds crazy, but people who see psychics, usually have a gift as well. They are just reflecting what we already intuitively know. Our ego is what keeps us distracted to truly understanding what our gifts and purpose are. Well, it has been 2 years since that psychic session that changed my life and I’m finally stepping into my soul’s purpose.

    So, here I am, ready to serve and I’m so excited for this new journey.

    I believe in “I AM” statements

    I AM Intuitively Gifted

    I AM an Empath

    I AM a Nurse

    I AM a Momma of 2

    I AM a lover of nature and people

    I AM a Nurse Coach (NC-BC)

    I know that working with a Nurse Coach can transform your life. I want to extend my hand to anyone who is in need of support. I look forward to connecting and supporting you through your journey. Much love and many blessings. Angela
