PHOENIX RISING: ANGELA LEGH’S PATH TO EMOTIONAL LIBERATION
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 Legh suffered from the tyrrany 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.
I’m thrilled to have Angela as tomorrow’s guest on #takingthehelm!
💥 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?

💥 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.
