Angel’s Journey: The Unseen Purpose Behind an Extraordinary Life
If you’ve ever felt like you’re in this world but not from it,
you may find something of yourself here.
At 65—after four years of film school and a lifetime of spiritual searching—I’ve launched this podcast to share the daily challenges and revelations of a life shaped by destiny, artistry, and the echoes of past lives. Welcome to a life lived outside the ordinary.
Over the course of 75 facial surgeries—some experimental, some reconstructive—I used my body as a canvas and a tool to explore identity: individual, familial, urban, national, and global. It was never a luxury but a demanding artistic and spiritual path, a trial-and-error journey of resilience in service of a mission to uncover deeper truths about who we are.
My appearance alone often stops people in their tracks. I seem timeless, unplaceable… as if I’ve stepped in from another world.
My story spans lifetimes—from ancient Egypt to modern-day Brighton, through my concrete steps toward Copenhagen, and now to a new beginning in Utrecht. It’s not just about survival, but about purpose: making films that address inequality, exploring identity across incarnations, and sharing unfiltered truths from a path rarely walked.
This podcast is part of a larger film project now in distribution. Together, they form a living archive of a soul on a mission.

Episode 17 - PIP
Angel discusses her struggle with the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) due to impairments caused by trauma and a car accident. Despite being intelligent and capable, she faces difficulties complying with PIP's interview process due to trauma-induced distress and lack of support. Angel has made complaints about harassment due to being British-German and has had a productive conversation with a PIP manager about her case. She is fighting to regain PIP and is also applying for a job in Oxford, despite her panic attack disorder and being in her sixties. Angel plans to escalate her complaint to the tribunal and emphasizes the need for understanding and flexibility from PIP assessors.
