Hi, I'm Angela.
Health Coach, Writer, and Mom of Two
I help moms escape their overwhelm and come back to themselves—not through hustle, hacks, or surface-level self care—but with an approach that gets to the real root causes of mom burnout.
Before I became a coach, I was a teacher and a lifelong writer. But the training that shaped me most came from lived experience—pushing through exhaustion, losing sight of myself—and slowly learning how to rebuild a life that leaves space for joy, rest, and remembering who I am.
This is the work I love most: helping other moms come home to themselves.

Why I Do This Work
There was a time when I thought I just needed to try harder.
My kids were small. I was working, caregiving for my mom after a traumatic brain injury, managing a household that always seemed to be on the edge of chaos—and trying to do it all with a smile. From the outside, I looked like I was holding it together, but inside, I was unraveling.
I woke up tired and went to bed wired. I snapped at my kids during the morning rush and zoned out during bedtime stories. I lived with a low hum of guilt—like I was failing at everything, no matter how hard I tried.
And it wasn’t just the exhaustion. It was that I'd lost a certain version of myself. I had always been a writer. Words were how I made sense of the world—how I stayed connected to meaning, to mystery, to me. But in those years, there was no room for the blank page. No silence in which to tell my story. Just a relentless mental to-do list and a voice in my head that never stopped asking, “Why can’t you keep up?”
I kept searching for the right routine. The right mindset. The right productivity system. I tried all the things—planners, apps, yoga, journaling at 5 a.m. But nothing stuck.
What finally changed things for me wasn’t more effort—it was learning how to work with my nervous system instead of pushing through. It was unlearning all the invisible rules I’d absorbed about what it means to be a “good mom.” And it was receiving the kind of support that didn’t pile on more expectations—but helped me create a way of living that actually worked for me.
That experience eventually led me to train as a health coach, specializing in stress management and burnout recovery. I created The Busy Mom Burnout Solution to offer the kind of care and clarity I wish I’d had back then—science-backed, shame-free, and grounded in real life. Now, I guide other overwhelmed moms toward something better—not perfection, but presence, peace, and energy that lasts.
If you’re wondering what this kind of support could look like in your life, I’d love to connect. You can schedule a free consultation call using the link below.
