Angie Hawkins is an Inner Glow Coach who transforms high-achieving women so they stop dimming their light and learn how to be loved. This allows them to love themselves so deeply that the world can’t help but reflect it back. She is also the author of Running in Slippers, a raw and vulnerable memoir about finding resilience after emotional rock bottom. She’s since jumped from a helicopter into the ocean, Navy SEAL-style, and she’s sky-dived, bungee jumped, and cliff jumped. And even though she’s still terrified every time she allow herself to be seen, she never lets that fear stop her from living a full life.
