32. (S1E32) Life Will Bring You to Your Knees. Get Up. With Angela Loughridge

FINE is a 4-Letter Word

Angela was raised to be stronger than life. You’re going to face challenges, and you have to be stronger then they are. That belief served her and also made her hard and angry and tired. We talk about how she found her way to role models who gave her a more positive outlook and the idea of being content and accepting while still striving to become better. She shares her experiences in some male-dominated industries and what happened when she continued to push through her time of FINE. Yes, this includes another bad boss model. You’ll hear where she feels most at home. Then stay through because she’s got a public service announcement of sorts that affects a majority of you listening.

An entrepreneur with a background in the airline, computer science, telecommunications, and banking and investment industries, Angela saw the future needs diversity of thought. Based on her belief that the generation of young women coming up after her require skills and positive direction to thrive in a society that would benefit from their strengths, she founded the non-profit organization Response. Ability. And through that organization, she is developing young women into future leaders and empowering them to understand they have the ability to choose their responses.

Angela’s hype song is Storms in Africa by Enya. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XADqpiLCsM
