How many times have you told yourself, “I can figure it out on my own”? If you’re anything like me, you’ve worn independence like a badge of honor—only to end up stuck, burnt out, and disappointed. In this episode of Reauthenticated with Angie Marie, I’m sharing the story of how I learned the power of investing in myself—from failing at my first fitness goal to hiring a coach who changed everything.

You’ll hear how I went from making excuses… to stepping on stage with a six-pack of abs. More importantly, I’ll show you the bigger lesson: why investing in yourself always pays off—in confidence, growth, healing, and freedom.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels, trying to heal, fix, or grow on your own, this episode will inspire you to stop DIY-ing your life and start giving yourself the gift of accountability and guidance.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why “doing it on your own” often keeps you stuck in survival mode
• The truth about setting goals without support (and why they rarely last)
• My personal story: from failing at my “abs by 30” goal to competing on stage
• How hiring a coach and trusting the process changed my life forever
• Why investing in yourself always leads to growth—physically, emotionally, and spiritually
• How my 12-week coaching process can help you create lasting transformation

Ever notice how letting go of toxic people, draining jobs, or even “stuff” feels harder than it should? You know it’s weighing you down, but fear, guilt, or comfort keeps you stuck.

In this episode of Reauthenticated, Angie Marie gets real about her own journey of shedding—walking away from 25 years behind the chair, selling her shares of her salons, leaving unhealthy environments, and even relocating across the country (and now, out of the country!) to protect her peace.

This conversation blends raw personal storytelling with empowering truths you can apply to your own life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, drained, or afraid of the unknown—this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The definition of toxic and why it often feels “normal” when you’re in it
• Red flags to spot in people, jobs, and environments (before they drain you dry)
• Why your brain craves familiarity—even when it’s painful
• The power of shedding and what happens when you finally release the weight
• How to start rebuilding with intention and choosing peace over obligation

Reflection Questions for Your Journal:

1. What’s one relationship, habit, or thing in your life that drains your energy?
2. If you released it, how would your life look different?
3. What red flags have you been ignoring?
4. What would it look like to choose peace over obligation this week?

Who you surround yourself with will either lift you higher… or quietly hold you back.
In this episode of Reauthenticated, I’m sharing my personal journey of going from a co-dependent little girl in survival mode — desperate for love and approval — to a woman who intentionally built two powerful tribes that changed my life.

This episode will help you reflect on your own community, recognize who’s truly in your corner, and start seeking out the people who will support and inspire you as you step into your most authentic self.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How childhood patterns shaped the way I viewed friendship and connection
• The painful betrayals that forced me to build boundaries instead of walls
• Why many of our circles feel small and surface-level — and what to do about it
• How I found not just one, but two tribes that feed my soul in different ways
• Why your community has the power to either accelerate your growth or drain it
• Practical steps for reevaluating your relationships and finding your people

Reflection Questions for You:

1. Who are the five people you spend the most time with? How do you feel after being around them?
2. Do they challenge you to grow and encourage your boundaries, or keep you in old patterns?
3. Who celebrates your wins wholeheartedly — and who minimizes them?
4. Are there relationships you continue out of guilt or obligation?
5. If you became more like the people around you today, would you be proud of who you’re becoming?
