With poise, presence, and purpose, she redefines what strength looks like and who gets to wear the crown. 🎧 Listen in as Angel shares: What it was like deploying to Bosnia in the early days of her service How the military shaped her voice and identity Her journey from camouflage to crowns—and why both matter How she continues to advocate for veterans and build confidence in others If you’ve ever been underestimated, reinvented yourself, or held your head high when no one else believed in you—this episode is for you.
