Summary
As we move into 2020, I'm sharing some very personal self-reflections about the course my life has taken over the past 10 years, and new insights I've had about who I am and what I need in order to thrive.
A few of the things I touch on in this stream-of-consciousness episode:
- Learning to set boundaries
- Becoming a "people person"
- Why I chose the direction I did for my business
- What marriage looks like for me now
- Why we don't have kids
- What I've learned about my creative process
I wrap up by sharing the personal development work I want to focus on as the new decade begins.
I would love to hear your self-reflections and what you've learned about YOURSELF over the past decade! You can share with me and other Truth for Teachers listeners in our private Facebook community here:

Happy New Year! I'll be back with the next "official" episode on Jan 26th.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there friends, it's Angela. I just had a spur of the moment inspiration to do a |
| 0:06.4 | podcast episode which tends to happen when I take a break between seasons. That's |
| 0:11.4 | why I take a break between seasons because I always come back feeling |
| 0:15.9 | so much more inspired. I just have tons of ideas and things I want to share with you and this was something |
| 0:20.5 | that I just sort of thought about this morning. I was reflecting back |
| 0:24.3 | over the last decade and I wanted to share some reflections and some insights and |
| 0:30.9 | things that I've learned about myself. |
| 0:33.3 | If you're new to the podcast, |
| 0:34.4 | and this is the first time you're listening, |
| 0:35.8 | so you don't know me yet and you don't like me yet, |
| 0:38.9 | this will probably not be that interesting to you. |
| 0:41.6 | This is for the folks who have been following my journey for a while. be that |
| 0:45.0 | be interesting to you. This is for the folks who have been following my journey for a while. And hopefully some of the things that I've learned will be interesting for you to listen to. |
| 0:50.0 | And I'm just going to share it because I feel like sharing it and yeah so here I am. |
| 0:55.8 | I don't normally do stuff like this but I'm trying to do it more so here I am. |
| 1:02.2 | One of the things that I've learned about myself this decade is that I actually |
| 1:06.3 | am a people person. I think for years I've been telling myself this story that people just |
| 1:11.2 | sort of like wear me out or I don't like people or I like cats |
| 1:14.6 | better than I like people. But what I realized is I actually do like people. I just |
| 1:21.6 | didn't have good boundaries. When I have appropriate boundaries |
| 1:26.1 | with people they really aren't that draining because I don't allow them to be. |
