Episode 184: Life Doesn't Just Happen to You with Angela Pugh

Take out a pen and piece of paper. Write down what you want.

Don't worry. Nobody's going to see it. Can't think of just one thing? Write it all – everything you want. The next step? Create this life where you get to have the things you want.

Today's guest, Angela Pugh, is a master life coach, speaker, entrepreneur, and host of the nationally-ranked Addiction Unlimited podcast. In this episode, she shares an important realization she had on her journey to sobriety: that she was not the victim of her life, and that she needed to play a more active role in creating the life she wanted.

Beautiful, you are not a side character, and your desires are not selfish. YOU are the star of your own life, and you have the power to create your own reality!

IN THIS EPISODE:

Angela's story of sobriety, from bartending in Hollywood to her life-changing event that motivated her to cut bad habits and become a better person
Progressive drinking – many people don't drink "too much" when they first start but drink more and more as they grow older
A realization Angela had while being a sober bartender – that people are most amazing when they're in their right mind
The idea of taking the life that's unfolding in front of you vs. creating the life you want and taking personal responsibility for the life you've created
Visualizing the person you want to be like when life gets difficult, from mothers to future selves to Oprah
