Walk into Healing With Angelica Glass

In this week’s episode of Live Happy Now, Paula Felps sits down with author Angelica Glass to explore her remarkable book, Scavenging Beauty: A Memoir in Walks, which chronicles her decision to walk every street in Santa Cruz County. What began as a stress‑relief habit unfolded into a profound journey of awe, healing, forgiveness, and rediscovery. Angelica shares how intentionally seeking beauty — one photograph, one street, one quiet moment at a time — opened the door to long‑buried memories, deeper self‑understanding, and renewed connection with her siblings. Through nature, silence, and curiosity, she learned to reframe her past with tenderness and compassion, ultimately transforming her internal landscape and her relationships. In this episode, you’ll learn: How awe, silence, and slow travel can unlock emotional healing and neuroplasticity. Why seeking beauty — even in life’s “wreckage” — reshapes how we see ourselves and our past. How sharing personal stories with loved ones can strengthen connection, change perspectives, and open new conversations.
