In this powerful episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman welcomes Angie Manson, who shares her raw and redemptive journey from addiction and jail time to recovery, leadership, and deep spiritual awakening. Angie’s story is a living testimony of how surrender, faith, and trust in God’s timing can transform even the darkest seasons into a path of purpose.
From near-death experiences in the ocean to building a recovery community that incorporates fitness, meditation, and spiritual healing, Angie reveals how God has continually shown up in her life. Her story reminds us that true freedom comes not from control but from surrender.
💡 Lessons Learned
God’s grace often shows up disguised — sometimes the greatest gift looks like a consequence.
Surrender is not weakness — it’s the courage to admit you need help and trust God’s direction.
Gratitude is a doorway to love — when we ground ourselves in gratitude, we feel closest to God.
Your past doesn’t define you — every trial is training for your testimony.
Recovery requires a whole-person approach — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
Faith grows in layers — trust builds each time you reflect on God’s past faithfulness.
🎁 The Gift of the Episode
✨ No matter how far you’ve fallen or how lost you feel, God has always had your back — and surrendering to Him can open doors you never imagined.

WHO IS ANGIE MANSON?
From low-income housing to CEO of Elevate Addiction Services, Angie Manson started using drugs and alcohol at the tender age of 11 years old.
Growing up in the 24-hour town of Reno, Nevada, she had easy access to substances, which led her down the road of addiction. An intervention by her family on her 16th birthday landed her in jail again, followed by her first experience in a treatment center. Instead of getting clean and sober, Angie learned to manipulate the system. At 18 and with no one to hold her accountable or bail her out, her addiction and criminal behavior worsened until she was facing a 10-year term in prison.
Due to a compassionate judge that was himself in recovery, Angie was sentenced to treatment instead. A couple of months in, she started working and giving back. For the first time in her life, she developed a passion for giving back to others and realizing her true purpose. Even after completing the program, Angie continued to work in rehab, both to gain more sober time and to give back to society. After completing 3-years of probation and working full-time in treatment, that same Judge erased all of her criminal record and gave her a completely clean slate to start a new life.
Angie has found her true passion and purpose which is to help others who are struggling with addiction and she is grateful to be put on the path to live her true calling. She believes in doing the work every day to be successful, as this is how you continue to reap the rewards. Inspired by her grandparents, who always believed in her, and her mom, who believed in tough love, Angie learned the hard way how to take care of herself and others.
As the CEO of Elevate Addiction Services, the only drug rehab in the country to have a CrossFit gym, Angie is passionate about health and fitness. She is the host of The Going Rogue & the Elevate Experience 2.0 podcasts, and a recipient of the Forbes Riley Outstanding Humanitarian award. With Angie’s leadership, Elevate was nominated for and won the “Excellence In Treatment” GOLD Award from CONQUER ADDICTION. Angie has been featured in multiple articles such as; LA Weekly, Recovery Today, CrossFit and many more. She has 31 years in recovery and was a contributor to the international #1 best seller, 1 Habit for Entrepreneurial Success, and The Greatest Lessons I Learned from Being an Entrepreneur, Volume 3.
