She knows what it means to succeed — and still feel the pull toward more.

A career ended, a calling began.

Angela Howell knows what it means to succeed—and still feel misaligned. She constantly felt the quiet pull toward something more. More meaning. More purpose. More life.

When her award-winning, twelve-year career in corporate sales was unexpectedly ended by a devastating injury, Angela faced a season of unraveling that ultimately became a reinvention. What began as burnout and physical limitation became an invitation to rebuild her life with intention rather than achievement as the measure of success.

For the first time, passion became non-negotiable.

Through years of inner work, recovery, creative exploration, and spiritual growth, she began choosing passion over performance and alignment over approval. The result was not just a new career, but a new way of living.

Today, Angela is a best-selling author whose work spans original abstract art, transformational coaching, keynote speaking, and women's retreats—all in service of one mission: helping women exchange comfort for courage.

Angela lives near Nashville, Tennessee with her husband of over thirty years and their rescued cats. She believes reinvention is always available, and that great is possible and far more satisfying than good enough.

My abstract art evolves like life.

It starts out messy and chaotic. I focus on the next right step and trust that everything will eventually work together for good. Intuitively, I layer with color, texture, and expressive marks. For a while, individual facets may not necessarily relate. Then all of a sudden, magic happens and clarity begins to surface.

In life and art, my perfectionist seldom tells me that I'm good enough, or that a piece is “done,” but I've learned to ignore her deception. I'm merely Finding the Gift each day, stopping at interesting places and letting my creativity flow.
