    Become Her First: The Mindset Behind Lasting Change with Valene Stone

    What if the biggest transformation in your life didn't begin with a workout... but with your identity? In this energizing conversation, Angie sits down with author, fitness coach, entrepreneur, and children's book author Valene Stone to explore how lasting change starts long before you see results—it begins with the way you think, the way you see yourself, and the story you believe about who you are. Inspired by the teachings of Bob Proctor, Joseph Murphy, and decades of personal growth, Valene shares how mindset, subconscious programming, and identity shape every area of our lives—from our health and confidence to our relationships and dreams. Together, Angie and Valene discuss: ✨ Why true transformation starts in the mind, not the mirror  ✨ How your subconscious programming influences your daily choices  ✨ The difference between trying to change and becoming a new version of yourself  ✨ Why self-image matters more than willpower  ✨ The role of visualization, imagination, and intuition in creating your future  ✨ How to stop waiting for the "perfect time" to take care of yourself  ✨ Why small daily choices create extraordinary results over time  ✨ How to become fit, fabulous, and fully you—inside and out Whether your goal is better health, greater confidence, stronger relationships, or simply feeling more like yourself again, this conversation is a reminder that lasting transformation doesn't come from punishment or perfection. It comes from choosing, every day, to become the person you were created to be. Because when your identity changes, your life begins to change with it.  🌐 Website: www.valenestone.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/valenestone/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/valene.stone  Send us Fan Mail How to Human is a movement dedicated to helping people navigate life with greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, resilience, and purpose.

    Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You Something with Jen Acosta

    What if the answers you've been searching for aren't in your mind—but in your body? In this insightful conversation, Angie sits down with somatic energy practitioner, coach, and trainer Jen Acosta to explore why lasting transformation requires more than positive thinking. While mindset is important, Jen explains why true healing begins when we learn to listen to the wisdom stored within our bodies. Drawing from her own journey through family trauma, personal healing, and more than two decades of coaching, Jen shares how unresolved emotions shape our beliefs, relationships, and even our ability to receive the life we desire. Together, Angie and Jen explore: ✨ Why mindset alone isn't enough for lasting change  ✨ What somatic healing really is—and why it matters  ✨ How unresolved emotions become stored in the body  ✨ The connection between nervous system regulation and personal transformation  ✨ Why we often resist the very emotions that can set us free  ✨ A simple practice to begin listening to your body's wisdom  ✨ How identity shapes the reality we create  ✨ Why healing isn't about fixing yourself—it's about coming home to who you truly are Jen also explains why emotions aren't obstacles to overcome—they're messages waiting to be heard. By learning to safely feel instead of suppress, we create space for greater peace, deeper relationships, and a life that feels more aligned. If you've ever wondered why affirmations, mindset work, or personal development haven't created the lasting change you hoped for, this conversation may reveal the missing piece. Because your body isn't working against you. It's been trying to guide you all along.  🌐 Website: JenniferAcosta.com 📸 Instagram: Instagram.com/thejennacosta_ Send us Fan Mail How to Human is a movement dedicated to helping people navigate life with greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, resilience, and purpose.

    What if the life you've been waiting for is still waiting for you? In this uplifting conversation, Angie sits down with bestselling author, viral content creator, and "Liquid Sunshine" herself, Candas Barnes, to explore what happens when you finally trust your heart and say yes to the life you were created to live.

    What if the life you're searching for isn't something you have to build... What if it's something you simply have to remember? In this powerful conversation, Angie sits down with quantum leadership mentor, speaker, and co-founder of the Elevated Human Experience, Yun Rhee, to explore what it means to live from frequency instead of force.

    If Not Now, When? Answering the Call on Your Life with Michelle Rios

    What if the dream that keeps tugging at your heart isn't random? What if it's the reason you came here? In this inspiring conversation, Angie sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and host of the Live Your Extraordinary Life podcast, Michelle Rios, to discuss what happens when you finally stop ignoring the call on your life and start listening to your soul. After building a successful corporate career and climbing the executive ladder, Michelle found herself feeling increasingly disconnected from the life she had worked so hard to create.
