In this episode of In My Experience, I'm joined by filmmaker, author, survivor advocate, and Holy Hot Mom creator Angela Shelton for a conversation that goes just about everywhere. Angela has spent decades advocating for survivors of childhood sexual abuse and challenging systems she believes perpetuate exploitation and silence. What I love about her approach is the humor, creativity, and joy she brings to conversations many people avoid. We explore parasites, archons, spiritual entities, the Nag Hammadi scriptures, and our personal experiences with perceived energetic interference. Angela shares an encounter that shifted her perspective on parasites, inspired her Holy Hot Mom creations, and influenced her spiritual journey. We also discuss her upcoming science-fiction project, A Rare Human. I share experiences from my spiritual awakening and navigating the family court system, including how our reactions can sometimes take away our power. Angela opens up about childhood trauma, abusive relationships, survivor guilt, and recognizing how shame and self-criticism can make us our own worst abusers. Together, we explore forgiveness, breaking cycles, establishing boundaries, choosing our responses, and stepping away from chaos. And, of course, joy. Through Sacred Circus, Angela brings people together through profound play, creativity, and community to reclaim their lives after trauma. Her message? You deserve joy, regardless of what you've experienced. Content Advisory: This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse, trauma, and other sensitive topics. Listener discretion advised.
