When Your Stomach Stops Working: Healing Gastroparesis, Faith, and Finding Sisterhood
In this soul-stirring episode, Angela shares her courageous journey from being dismissed by doctors to finding healing from gastroparesis—an all-too-common side effect of popular weight loss injections. Living in a remote area of Hawaii, she felt isolated, sick, and hopeless—until faith, functional wellness, and a powerful community transformed her life.
We talk about messy Christianity, how God uses imperfect people to do His work, and the importance of showing up authentically—even when you’re still healing. Angela opens up about becoming a coach, why investing in herself changed everything, and how sisterhood gave her the strength to lead others. If you’ve ever felt unworthy of healing or ministry, this episode is your reminder that you were made for more.
