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.
Angel’s Journey: The Unseen Purpose Behind an Extraordinary Life
Episode 20 - The Barista and the Dirty Toilet
Angel, a long-term UK resident, reflects on cultural contrasts between Britain and Germany—the calmness on one hand, and the tendency to “sweep things under the carpet” on the other. She recounts two incidents: at a 50+ café, she raised concerns with management about a woman socially taking advantage of a vulnerable man; the woman later attacked her and was placed on police watch. In another case, at Café Nero, Angel confronted staff about poor hygiene, leading to an aggressive reaction from a barista working there. She speaks about the rise in hostility, a fraying system, and—at that stage—why she still looked to Copenhagen as a safer place to live.
