Angela Fletcher's life unfolds like a weathered map of danger, risk and resilience. From a turbulent childhood and the crushing spiral of addiction, to high-powered corporate success and the dizzying burnout that followed, Angela’s story is an unflinching look at what it takes to walk away and start again. In this episode, she traces the moment-by-moment choices that led her from streets and hotels to backpacks and homesteads—ultimately finding purpose in the healing dirt of her gardens.

Listen as Angela describes near-ruin and redemption: the overdose that became a turning point, a groundbreaking role in a marketing company that fed both pride and emptiness, and a bold decision to sell everything and live with less. Through vivid details—dumpsters and clicker data, mountain trails and hummingbirds—her narrative reveals how survival, curiosity and quiet spiritual awakenings can replant a life. By episode’s end, you’ll feel the pull of her gardens: small ecosystems that teach patience, nourishment, and how to build a life worth living without the weight of “stuff.”
