Ciao, I’m Angela Parker
I’m a deep-feeling founder + entrepreneur who, in 2018, sold my thriving fitness business in Los Angeles and moved to a tiny village in the Italian Alps.
[Yes. I’m that girl who had the giant outdoor fitness boot camp and was on that MTV weight loss show.]
I got off the ride, restored my nervous system, courageously brought my sh*t into the light, redesigned my entire life based on my values, then transformed the way I create meaningful work.
Now I help other leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives do the same.
MY TOP 3 VALUES
Balance
Courageous Communication
Radical Honesty
Everything I give my time to is rooted in my values.
Because for a long time, I lost sight of my values.
At 23, I founded Body Inspired Fitness which I grew to be the largest, longest continuously running outdoor fitness boot camp in Santa Monica, California.
The business was prolific, but living in the spotlight surrounded by a toxic diet & hustle culture left me with chronic anxiety and exhaustion.
Eventually, I realized that professional success was both unfulfilling and unhealthy because I wasn’t leading with my values.
I successfully sold my baby and moved to a tiny village in the Italian Alps to enjoy a beautiful and well-deserved sabbatical.
Beautiful, it was not. Because I’d destroyed my nervous system and had no sense of identity outside of the business, I became so ill I nearly lost my life.
This was my moment to commit to radical self-care, forgive myself for losing sight of my values, and allow the whisper of my truth to become loud enough that I could actually hear it.
I started journaling, and it was in my own words I found healing and growth.
I fully transformed when I stopped looking outside of myself for the answers, allowed my creativity to lead, and made every f*cking decision based on my values.
