In the final part of my 3-part conversation with Angie Hawkins, author of Running in Slippers and creator of the Shine From the Inside program, we’re diving into the powerful connection between the mind, body, and stress—and how living outside our core values shows up in our physical and emotional health.

Angie shares her experience with autoimmune illness, the cost of chronic people-pleasing, and what it looks like to build a life rooted in integrity and self-trust. We explore reconnecting with our intuition, releasing others’ expectations, and discovering the small, daily ways to return to our authentic selves.

If you’ve ever felt burned out, disconnected, or like you’re living for everyone else, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe, pause, and come home to yourself.

If this conversation hit home, remember:

You are not broken, and you’re not alone.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you can call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
