Listen "Episode 45: Angie Simmons @growthdevelopmentfoundation"
Episode Synopsis
Come and join the conversation as I chat to the amazing Angie Simmons, founder of the incredible Growth Development Foundation.
Built following a series of traumatic events that happened to Angie throughout her life, she drew her strength and turned her "mental mess into her message".
Taking me back through her life, Angie is open and incredibly honest about the pain she has endured and the impact it had on her mental health.
One day changed her life completely. Angie bravely tells me of the day she learned of the passing of her beloved brother Tony. Not only her sibling, Tony was her best friend, his loss sent her on a downward spiral and the pain she was experiencing was too much to bear. Angie tells me the details surrounding that time, dealing with feelings of guilt that she carried, blaming herself for her brother's passing and fighting these feelings led her into despair.
Battling with thoughts of not wanting to continue and just wanting to be reunited with her brother, Angie is frank and explains the feelings she was experiencing at that time.
In 2014, Angie was introduced to personal development. Just a simple CD she was given to listen to in her car, she tells me that she wasn't engaging with its content to begin with and had no clue how it was going to help her, however unbeknown to her at that time, this was the first step towards the rest of her life and her recovery.
Unbelievably, tragedy was to strike Angie's life once more when she suddenly lost her Mum. The practical aspect proving difficult to navigate, having a strict time frame to clear out her Mum's personal items and plan her funeral whilst also dealing with the overwhelming grief weighed heavily on her.
It was one quiet moment when sorting through her Mum's possessions that she came across a journal, citing it as "the missing piece of her jigsaw", starting her on the incredible journey towards The Growth Development Foundation that you see today.
We chat about the Marjala Method, that Angie teaches , helping people to gain clarity in thei lives, and the importance of making connections with our inner selves. We also talk about a fascinating part of her business that is incorporated into her very own journal, Moonology, moon cycles and the interesting correlation that we as women need to learn about!
Such an emotional episode and Angie is such an open and honest lady, using her pain and suffering to help others makes you like her even more! An inspiration to so many she has some EXCITING plans for the future!
I cannot wait to watch the next stage of her journey, and see what's coming up for the Growth Development Foundation, thankyou beautiful lady for such an insightful and inspiring conversation!
