85. Finding Your Way Back to Yourself Featuring Angel Willard

from Derive Insights Hosted by Etu Daniel

What does it take to find your way back to yourself after life changes you in ways you never expected? In this episode of Derive Insights, I sit down with Angel Willard, author of Fighting to Come Home, for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, survival, motherhood, accountability, healing, and the courage to begin again. Angel opens up about the experiences that shaped her journey, including loss, chronic pain, incarceration, motherhood, and the difficult work of rebuilding her life. We explore what it means to take responsibility for your past without allowing it to define your future, break generational cycles, find your voice, and rebuild a sense of self after devastating experiences. This is more than a story about surviving. It's a conversation about coming home to yourself—and finding the courage to become who you're meant to be.
