Have you ever felt the pull toward something that makes absolutely no logical sense? Angela de la Agua’s story will remind you why following your heart is the most radical act of courage—and why it’s worth every uncomfortable moment.
From fashionista to desert mystic, Angela shares what happens when you finally stop ignoring the whisper and leap into the complete unknown. This conversation gets real about the messy middle of transformation: the relationships that shift, the identity crises that hit, and how to trust your inner knowing when everyone around you thinks you’ve lost it.
We explore the difference between mind wisdom and heart wisdom, what it takes to rebuild your life from scratch, and why the most aligned path often looks like the craziest one. Angela’s journey proves that sometimes the thing that terrifies you most is exactly what your soul is calling you toward.
If you’ve been sensing that your current life no longer fits, or you’re afraid of what might happen if you actually listen to that persistent inner nudge, this episode offers both inspiration and permission to trust the mystery.
Essential listening for anyone ready to discover what becomes possible when you choose alignment over approval.
