About the guest : 

Angela Gliatta's career in healthcare was inspired by her deep passion for animals, particularly dogs, which originally led her to aspire to become a veterinarian. At the age of 17, she shadowed a veterinarian to gain insight into the profession. However, witnessing a procedure on a small chihuahua left Angela emotionally shaken, as she found it difficult to handle the emotional aspects of veterinary care. Realizing that her sensitivities might better serve her in a different capacity, Angela chose to become a Physician Assistant. In this role, she channels her compassion and dedication to care by working with human patients, while still nurturing her love for dogs in her personal life.

Big welcome to our first guest on the BCE podcast! Alexa Darrin is a soul purpose coach and she works with the akashic records to help clients figure out what they are truly meant to do. 

She has a beautiful statement on her website that says, "I’ll help you align your energy, connect to your intuition, and discover who you are on the soul level so you can live with clarity, confidence, and purpose."

It was such a fun conversation. She also did a mini akashic record reading for me and it was absolutely fascinating.

Alexa is so interesting because not only does she have this business and gifts as a psychic medium, she is also a mom and wife just trying to figure it out like the rest of us!!

Unfortunately, I did have some tech issues with this episode as the sound quality is not the best on Alexa's end! I apologize about that and hope to improve this in the future! 

Here are links to her website and social media!! Check them out!! 

Life Purpose Coaching, Energetic Alignment, and Intuition Development

You can also do a free Soul Clarity Reset which is available for free on her website.
