Angie became fascinated by human behavior after observing people’s behaviors in the Operating Room when she worked as a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST). She was fascinated by how the leadership in this environment (surgeons) affected the entire team and ultimately affected patient outcomes both positively and negatively. As she worked through her career as an educator of CST’s at Boise State University and College of Western Idaho, she began studying human behaviors and she received her Master’s in Human Resource Development. She is certified in DISC, Driving Forces, and Emotional Intelligence by TTI Success Insights.

Angie has held several board of director positions, including the United Way of Southeast Idaho, Women United, and Business Women of Pocatello. With her authentic and nurturing approach, Angie’s contributions include board effectiveness, board development, and executive board leadership.

Angie is a student of life that loves the continuous process of learning and growing. As a woman business owner she feels compelled to share her experiences with other women, including a number of minority business owners through the Idaho Women’s Business Center.

She loves to help others find their purpose and ignite their passion to help them reveal their own potential. Her WHY is to “leave others better than she found them”. She believes everyone has a gem inside of them that needs to be discovered, shined, and polished just as others have provided for her over the years. It is her interest to give back by helping others to create a life they love and work in a job that fuels their human spirit.

In your twenties, quitting or cutting back on alcohol can feel challenging, but it’s a choice more people are making for their health, clarity, and well-being. The key is knowing your reasons, setting achievable goals, finding support, and replacing drinking with activities that bring you joy. Handling social situations with confidence, understanding your triggers, and celebrating your progress are all part of the journey. Remember, it's not about perfection—it's about progress and feeling your best, both mentally and physically.

Thriving in life requires more than just focusing on one area; it’s about balancing physical, spiritual, and professional communities. Physical fitness boosts mental and emotional health through endorphin release and social connections, while spiritual practices like meditation reduce stress and foster emotional resilience. Professional networks provide purpose, mentorship, and fulfillment, contributing to overall happiness. Research shows that engaging in these three types of communities not only enhances well-being but can also lead to longer, more satisfying lives. By building supportive networks in all aspects of life, you create a solid foundation for thriving.

If you're an IIN coach, you've read the phrase, "if you don't make time for your wellness, you'll be forced to make time for your illness." This could not be more true and I dive deeper into this phrase, as well as the introduction to intuitive eating.

Intuitive eating offers a holistic and empowering approach to nourishing both body and mind. By rejecting diet culture, cultivating a positive relationship with food, and honoring their body's innate wisdom, individuals can embrace food freedom and enjoy a more fulfilling and balanced life. Whether you're looking to break free from restrictive eating patterns or simply improve your relationship with food, intuitive eating provides a guiding philosophy that encourages self-discovery and self-care.
