Hi friend! Welcome back to Coach BFF Show! This was not an easy conversation for this mama heart, because I could see the pain of losing a child in Angies's eyes the entire time.

Angie has been in the technology solution space her entire career which typically is not abundant with female leadership. So, as you might have guessed, she is very passionate about lifting women up! Angie also has an extreme love of traveling and exploring new places especially cute little towns. But her favorite thing is watching her kids live their best life and supporting them in all of their passions.A year ago, Angie and Aric started a podcast called “Blended, Blessed and Always a Mess” to create a sense of community for the families going through the blended struggles. Aric and Angie are raw and real about the highs and lows of blending a family. Unfortunately, on Nov 27th, 2022, Angie and her family’s lives changed forever when her oldest, Hallie, was tragically shot and passed away peacefully on November 29th. Grabbing onto their faith and hope, they are focused on shining Hallie’s light in the midst of the darkness.

What would you do?



Your children are part of your soul.


It’s true. You want to protect them.


But sometimes you can’t, because they don’t let you in.


They don’t share the bad things going on in their romantic lives, because they don’t want you to see the worst in their partner.


You get glimpses, and you try to talk yourself out of your negative thoughts.


They love them and want your approval, so they hide the truth.


You want everything to be great for your child.


They want it to be great too, but it’s not, and they don’t know how to escape.


Their partner is manipulative and guides them to be completely dependent.


You have been

BLOCKED OUT.


Educate early before it’s too late. Teach your kids what a toxic relationship looks like and why it’s unhealthy.
