    Tim Church is a well-known and respected personal trainer, and he’s also the person I talked to right before I left my career in television news. He asked me one question that helped me take the leap of faith that changed my life. Tim really listens to his clients. He also believes movement is medicine. It's critical to our physical, mental and emotional health. It helps us think clearly, be creative, make decisions, and show up fully for our lives.

Key takeaways: • Exercise changes your neurochemistry to boost creativity, mental clarity, and emotional resilience • It's possible to find a personalized approach to fitness that actually fits your life, your body, and where you are right now • Taking small, consistent baby steps is the best starting point, especially when you’re burned out, in pain, or in the middle of a transition • Committing to exercise isn’t about changing how you look—it’s about who you become when you show up for yourself consistently Links and Resources: Contact Tim Church:  website: definingmomentfitness.com  call/text: 843-303-3488 Send us Fan Mail Get Angie's Book: Girl in the Spotlight — available in print and audio  Subscribe to Angie's weekly letter Hello Friday Instagram: @angiemizzell

    E32: How to Spring Clean Your Life

    In this episode, I’m sharing a lesson I stumbled onto while watching my husband clean out his closet in 15 minutes flat, and how it became the framework I use for everything from what stays on my calendar to what I’m actually saying yes to in this season of life. If you’re craving clarity about what deserves your full attention right now, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: • What causes decision fatigue (hint: it’s the maybe’s and the almost yeses) • The problem with the “if it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no” rule • How to tell the difference between a maybe, a not yet, and a not right now (and what to do with those things) • Why it’s important to sort your yeses first • Deciding to save something for later isn’t the same as putting it off Send us Fan Mail Get Angie's Book: Girl in the Spotlight — available in print and audio  Subscribe to Angie's weekly letter Hello Friday Instagram: @angiemizzell

    E30: The Soundtrack of Your Life

    When writing a eulogy feels impossible, songs can be a way in. That's what I discovered after losing my mom eight months after my memoir, "Girl in the Spotlight" was published, a book that weaves our mother-daughter story all the way through.  I'm sharing her eulogy today—and the soundtrack of her life—because music has the power to connect us to our own stories. Which songs would be on your soundtrack?

    E29: The Memoir Was the Beginning—Here's What Came After

    You can do the inner work. You can read the books, see the therapist, write the memoir. And then you become a parent — and the work starts all over again, just with smaller people watching. This episode is a conversation with James Moffitt of the Parenting Adult Children podcast, and it's for anyone who thought healing was something you finished — and then discovered it's actually something you practice, relationship by relationship, season by season. What We Talk About In This Episode Why leaving a rising career in TV news turned out to be the beginning of the real work, not the end of itExternal validation: how the need to be seen can quietly become the thing running your lifeWhat Angie noticed the moment she became a parent, and how quickly her own unfinished healing showed upThe idea of "emptying out" — why your kids (and your partner) can't really hear you until they feel heard firstHow Angie's oldest son shifted when she told him the truth: I've never been the parent of someone your age before. I'm figuring this out too.The tightrope of launching adult children—being a safe place without becoming a safety netWhat losing her mom taught Angie about what she had needed from that relationship all along—and what she's trying to do differently with her own kids Guest Links ABCs of Parenting Adult Children podcast with James Moffitt: Website: https://www.parentingadultchildren.org/ Instagram: @parentingadultchildren125 Send us Fan Mail Get Angie's Book: Girl in the Spotlight — available in print and audio  Subscribe to Angie's weekly letter Hello Friday Instagram: @angiemizzell
