Performative Childhood in Church, Singing, Dance, & Shifting the Perception of Perfectionism into Mindfulness & Authenticity with CEO of Matters of the Mind (M.O.T.M.) Vaultage) Angela Harper

Hello and Welcome! On today's episode we have special guest Angela Harper (@mattersofthemindvaultage on Instagram), who shares her inspiring story of spiritual transformation through her experience growing up in the church environment as her parents, pastor dad and minister mom showed her the way forwards. She learned that she was taking on both the leading role and the servant role at a young age - the demand to perform, a call to action, and a people-pleasing persona were quickly expected. The journey of mindfulness into adulthood begins as you ask yourself - what is your relationship to change? Meet the driving force behind M.O.T.M. Vaultage®—Angela Harper. With a wealth of experience and an unyielding passion for mental wellness, Angela stands as a guiding light in the realm of transformative therapies. Her approach is characterized by unwavering compassion, deep empathy, and a resolute commitment to helping individuals unlock the untapped potential within their minds. Within our haven, individuals are encouraged to embark on a transformative journey—a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and continuous personal growth. We serve as a catalyst for positive change in the lives we touch. Ari is the host of the Growth, Grace, and Gratitude Podcast.
