    Apr 10 2024
    Have you asked yourself, Where did that come from after a situation where you over reacted or blew up? Emotional triggers happen to all of us but why? How do we change patterns of behaviour that are harmful to us and others? Angela suffered from the tyranny of an alcoholic father, entered a toxic marriage and in a time of crisis after a wild fire, listened to the angels whispering in her ear to take her first act of self-love. Angela now gives children and their parents tools and techniques for emotional balance. She has done everything from writing the series, The Bella Santini Chronicles to speaking to high school students about emotional intelligence, to cohosting a television show on Thriving Women Network. Key takeaways and questions we discuss: What is emotional repression and how does it hurt ourselves and others? How do we feel and express our emotions to heal, without harming others? When we shift our responsibility through the game game, we become a victim rather than putting ourselves in control. How can we combine a high level of nurturing with a high level of boundaries and rules for children? What does emotional well-being mean? Angela shares countless resources including her up-coming TV show, blog post, website resources, speaking and writing engagements as well as her book series.
