Individuality, Diversity, And The Power of Potential

May 20, 2025 • Angela • Episode 5

“When I began to succeed, I found out quickly who was truly for me."

In this deeply personal episode of The Angela Rose Show, I sit down once again with my soul-friend and fellow survivor, Jessica Witmer of Wild Olive Branch Coaching. We’re not just talking about healing today, we’re talking about thriving. About reclaiming agency, success, and voice after a lifetime of compliance and oppression.

Coming from Amish and Mennonite cultures where entrepreneurship was “a man’s lane,” Jess and I open up about what it really means to launch a business as a woman from a high-control religious environment. This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s about health, ownership, and self respect. It's about choosing courage over what mind control had instilled in us.

🔍 We unpack:

The loneliness of stepping into your potential
How gender role expectations didn't work for us and why we broke those rules
The painful loss of relationships when we stopped struggling and started thriving
Writing as reclamation: turning our stories into strength
Why success as a survivor is revolutionary

If you’ve ever felt like your healing or ambition made others uncomfortable, this episode is for you.
