What if the waiting is the becoming with Angie Thompson

from My Happy Ass Life · host Karen Smith

What if the waiting is the becoming? This week, I sit down with my lifelong friend Angie Thompson for a talk about grief, growth, faith, and friendship. Angie shares the story of losing her beloved partner, leaving a high-powered career, and stepping into something completely new…owning a media company all guided by grace and the wisdom found in When the Heart Waits by Sue Monk Kidd.We also talk about the power of long-standing friendships, the beauty of taking the “long way,” and the discipline of morning reflection. This is a heart talk about walking through pain with purpose and embracing your next chapter, no matter your age.Angie reminds us: if you can’t be still and wait, you can’t become what God created you to be.Episode Highlights:[2:00] Growing Up in Enterprise and Lifelong Friendship[10:15] Angie’s Career in TV Production and the Leap into Entrepreneurship[18:30] Losing Her Partner and Facing Uncertainty During the Pandemic[25:40] The Life-Changing Message of When the Heart Waits[31:50] Trusting God’s Timing and Active Waiting[39:15] Spiritual Disciplines and Morning Time with God[45:00] Loving Ourselves at Every Age[51:00] Church Hurt and Finding Faith Again[56:20] Loving Each Other as God’s Expression[1:01:30] The Gift of Showing Up for Friends in GriefSpecial Thanks to Our Sponsors Bay TaxSave big with cost segregation & ERC benefits📧 [email protected]📞 (720) 310-0084The Final Touch DesignTransforming spaces with excellence and faith📞 (850) 588-6142Resources MentionedWhen the Heart Waits by Sue Monk KiddThe Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk KiddLet’s Stay ConnectedFollow along on social media @MyHappyAssLife, and don’t forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube so you never miss an episode.Be sweet, y’all.
