Stream of Consciousness #45 - Angie Hawkins

In this episode, I sit down with Angie Hawkins — Inner Glow Coach, speaker, and author of Running in Slippers — for one of the most honest and grounded conversations I’ve had on this show. Angie opens up about the moments that shaped her, including the night she nearly lost her life, and the long, courageous path that followed. She also reads a passage from her book that captures her voice, her grit, and her truth in a way only she can.
This conversation is real. It’s human. It’s full of the kind of clarity and presence that only comes from someone who has done the work to rebuild themselves from the inside out.
Content note: This episode includes discussion of a suicide attempt and contains brief strong language during a book reading.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or a trained professional. You’re not alone.
