How To Human Podcast

What if the dream that keeps tugging at your heart isn't random?

What if it's the reason you came here?

In this inspiring conversation, Angie sits down with entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and host of the Live Your Extraordinary Life podcast, Michelle Rios, to discuss what happens when you finally stop ignoring the call on your life and start listening to your soul.

After building a successful corporate career and climbing the executive ladder, Michelle found herself feeling increasingly disconnected from the life she had worked so hard to create. Then, during a life-changing trip to Greece, she heard a simple but powerful message:

"If not now, when?"

That moment became the catalyst for a completely different chapter.

Together, Angie and Michelle explore:

• Why so many people live on autopilot
• How to recognize the whispers of purpose
• The difference between success and fulfillment
• Why discomfort is often a sign of growth
• How limiting beliefs shape our reality
• The power of rewriting your personal story
• Why courage grows one step at a time
• How to trust yourself even when the path isn't clear

Michelle also shares the incredible story of Ernest Shackleton and the leadership lesson that changed her life: the power of believing in a future that doesn't yet exist.

If you've been feeling the pull toward something bigger, this conversation is your reminder that your dreams are not accidental.

The call keeps calling for a reason.

The question is: will you answer?

What if the very things you've been trying to avoid are actually your greatest strengths?

In this inspiring conversation, Angie sits down with psychologist, executive coach, bestselling author, speaker, and success expert Dr. Erin Oksol to explore what it truly means to embrace your humanity.

After experiencing postpartum depression and finding herself struggling with alcohol as a coping mechanism, Dr. Erin began a journey that completely transformed the way she understood emotions, confidence, success, and personal growth.

Together, Angie and Dr. Erin explore:

• Why your feelings are not a liability—they're a superpower
• The difference between self-improvement and self-acceptance
• How to build confidence through action, not positive thinking
• Why success requires learning to tolerate disappointment
• The connection between identity and lasting transformation
• How to stop trying to "fix" yourself
• What it means to become faithful to your dreams
• Why being human is not a problem to solve

If you've ever felt like you're too emotional, too sensitive, too afraid, or not enough, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder:

You are not broken.

You are human.

And learning to embrace that humanity may be the key to everything you've been searching for.

Because your feelings aren't standing in the way of your growth.

They are showing you the way.

What if the life you've been dreaming about is still possible no matter your age, your past, or how many times you've failed?

In this inspiring conversation, Angie sits down with coach, speaker, podcast host, and lifelong student of personal growth, Terry Yoffe, to discuss what it truly means to do the inner work and become the person you were always meant to be.

Terry shares her deeply personal journey from depression, self-doubt, and feeling disconnected from herself to building a thriving career, finding lasting love, launching a successful coaching practice, starting a top-ranked podcast at age 78, and continuing to learn and grow well into her 80s.

Together, Angie and Terry explore:

• Why personal transformation is always an inside job
• The patterns and conditioning that keep us stuck
• How fear disguises itself as safety
• Why awareness is the first step toward change
• The importance of doing the inner work
• How to stop letting old stories define your future
• Why it's never too late to pursue your dreams
• What it means to truly believe in yourself

This conversation is a powerful reminder that your age does not define your potential, your past does not determine your future, and your dreams do not come with an expiration date.

The question isn't whether it's possible.

The question is whether you're willing to do the work.
