Angela Howell

We live in a world where so much has changed. Lamenting over how things used to be prevents
us from seeing all the new gifts unfolding today. Some of us may be able to embrace change
more easily than others, but to some degree, we are all comparing life today with how it was in
the past. And unfortunately, it’s likely that we are remembering what was good about yesterday,
compared to what is challenging about today. Our ability to go with the flow, personally and
professional, affects our work and the impact we have on our relationships (co-workers, family,
friends, etcetera).

Be encouraged and inspired as Angela shares with refreshing authenticity about the life lessons
that put her on the path of personal healing and growth. Feel renewed as your eyes are opened to
discovering what is already wonderful inside us and around us. Angela’s journey resulted in
Finding the Gift: Daily Meditations for Mindfulness, her handbook for life. Using metaphors
from the most unlikely places, Angela will challenge your group to transition from merely
surviving, to thriving!

Delivered with humor and vulnerability, Angela uses stories from her past as a model and eating
disorder survivor to reveal the secrets of true beauty—within ourselves and our ability to
appreciate beauty in others. You will learn how to nurture your own inner beauty, while
balancing societal pressures to focus more on the external wrappings rather than the gift itself.
Using an on-stage wardrobe change, Angela demonstrates our innate tendency to size other
women up by their external appearance and implores us to stop being our own worst enemies.
Ideal audience is women in any of the following settings: women’s events, corporate wellness,
entrepreneurs, recovery/disability, life transition (job loss, divorce, grief)

When a work injury ended her career as an award-winning, six-figure corporate sales rep, Angela
Howell had to re-create the rest of her life. Starting with a list of skills and a few coincidences,
Angela became a successful entrepreneur as a professional photographer and network marketer
and now, author, speaker, and coach. Even before her injury, she felt trapped in her career, but
afraid to do anything about it. Learn how to rise above societal norms and the pesky mental
chatter that persuades you to stay in your predictable comfy box. What? Don’t know what your
dreams even are? Not to worry, they may be buried, but you will learn how to excavate them.
You can re-create your life too. It’s never too late to explore new ways to be fulfilled and to find
the courage to birth new dreams!

Yes, there really is more to life than this! But your best thinking got you here, so if you want
something different, you’ve got to do something different. For starters, your mental software
may be seriously outdated, requiring an immediate upgrade!
Using her ten-module coaching curriculum, Angela Howell will customize a keynote speech,
workshop or weekend conference using her guided exercises to reveal specific steps toward
creating A Life Worth Having. Session(s) can be tailored for various time constraints, from one
hour to several days.

Presenteeism—I’m here, but I’m not all here—is a powerful foe in the workplace. How are you
helping your employees find daily fulfillment and balance? Investing in your number one asset
creates a win-win situation for everyone. Less stress, illness and mental fatigue (i.e. burnout
prevention), boosts in memory and cognitive flexibility, and increased creativity and problem-
solving all have a favorable impact on overall company success.
In your session, Angela will use real life situations, with a proper dose of humor, to reveal the
need to become more mindful. She will teach simple, daily steps for developing a mindfulness
practice anyone can implement immediately. Despite her success in corporate sales, Angela
experienced major burnout as a result of not incorporating more balance and mindfulness into
each day. She will help your employees “find the gift” again at work and in life.

Angela Howell has long been on the road to personal freedom. She survived an early life of
chaos, which led to a lengthy battle with anorexia and bulimia, including a total of twenty-four
weeks inpatient over seven years and three separate hospitalizations. Angela credits a team of
healthcare professionals plus twelve-step recovery for saving her life, not just physically, but
emotionally and spiritually as well. She will share her compelling story of triumph with your
group to spread a message of hope, because she still remembers what it was like to have none.
Angela will also provide eating disorder awareness education and prevention strategies.
Attendees will leave the session changed, after an up close and personal view into a life seriously
impacted by an eating disorder. They will be equipped with the knowledge of how to spot the
signs and symptoms of ED in themselves, or someone they care about. If they are in a
relationship with someone struggling with ED, they will have a better understanding of what is
helpful and what is not.

“Suffering is ordinary!” That’s a hard pill to swallow for most people, especially those in
recovery and others who have faced adversity. But it’s a necessary one if we want to transition
away from an identity of dis-ease, dys-function, dis-ability and dis-order. During her session,
Angela challenges her participants to become grateful for their pasts, to explore why they’re still
here, and to “find the gift” in everything, even when life is gift-wrapped in obstacles. Angela will
share these truths using stories from her personal experiences from being disabled from her
successful sales career to her more than twenty years in recovery from anorexia and bulimia. She
will leave your audience full of joy and hope!

Have you given up on God? Have you been hurt by church and well-meaning Christians? Do you
consider spirituality and religion to mean the same thing, with both to be avoided at all costs?
Angela Howell will share her extraordinary journey inside Christianity—from her early life as
part of a radical, traveling ministry, caravanning from state to state, to many other extreme
religious experiences, to becoming a God-hater, to finally finding spiritual peace and coming
home. Angela will help encourage you in your own faith journey, while helping you redefine
what spirituality means to you. She will guide you to understanding the importance of nurturing
your spirit—the God-given spark He put inside you that makes you unique and sets you apart
from everyone else. Renew your passion to be in God’s presence, just you and Him, leaving all
the junk from the past behind. Angela found a bridge home that worked for her and she will help
you come home too.
