We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Angela Legh. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Angela below.

Angela, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is The Bella Santini Chronicles. It’s not just a book series; it’s a mission born from the darkest time in my life. I had spent years in a marriage marked by emotional abuse, and when I finally stepped away from that environment, I was forced to face all the pain I had been carrying. But within that pain, I discovered something powerful: the ability to face difficult emotions and reclaim my inner light.

Bella Santini was born from that discovery. I realized that if I had grown up with emotional tools, ways to understand, process, and move through my feelings, I might have made different choices. I wanted to offer today’s children the emotional fluency I never had, wrapped in a magical, engaging story that made the learning seamless.

The story takes children on a journey through a magical realm, but beneath the fantasy is a deep undercurrent of emotional wisdom. Each book contains subtle teachings about emotional regulation, self-worth, compassion, and resilience. Bella’s growth mirrors what many children face: feeling different, being bullied, and questioning their value. Through her adventures, readers are gently shown that their emotions matter, that love is always available, and that they have more inner power than they realize.

What makes this project most meaningful is hearing from parents, teachers, and children who tell me how Bella helped them. Some children say the book gave them the courage to stand up to a bully. Some parents say it opened a dialogue with their kids that they never thought possible. In those moments, I know the pain I went through has been transformed into purpose. That’s the magic of this work, it’s healing for others and me.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I’m Angela Legh, and everything I do is rooted in a deep calling, to raise the emotional frequency of humanity, starting with our children. I’m the author of The Bella Santini Chronicles, a bestselling children’s fantasy series that blends magical adventure with emotional growth. I’m also the producer of Unfiltered Parenting, a heartfelt television show devoted to helping families thrive through conscious, connected living.

But this path didn’t begin with success. It began with a breakdown. After a wildfire swept the rug of life from under my feet, I left an emotionally abusive marriage with nothing but questions. The most haunting one was, “Why didn’t I choose my needs?” That question launched a journey of healing, self-discovery, and awakening. I came to understand that emotions, often labeled messy or inconvenient, are sacred messengers. When honored, they lead us home to ourselves.

That insight became the heartbeat of The Bella Santini Chronicles. On the outside, it’s a story about fairies and fantastical lands. But beneath the sparkle is something far more powerful: a guide for children to understand, feel, and navigate their emotions with courage and clarity. These stories quietly teach what schools often overlook: how to know yourself, how to love yourself, and how to stay centered in a confusing and noisy world.

Beyond the books, I create resources for parents, educators, and therapists; tools to help them nurture emotional safety and resilience in the young souls they guide. Through Unfiltered Parenting, I bring together experts and real-life stories that support families in growing deeper bonds and building emotionally intelligent homes.

What sets my work apart is that it’s infused with soul. I don’t teach from a pedestal; I teach from my own healing journey. Every page I write and every show I produce is offered with the intention to uplift, to heal, and to empower.

What am I most proud of? The ripple. The parent who sees their child open up. The teacher who finds new understanding. The child who feels safe to be themselves. That’s where the magic is.

If you’ve found your way to my work, you’re part of a greater movement—a wave of souls ready to create a kinder, more emotionally attuned world. You’re not alone. Together, we’re helping the next generation shine.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

Absolutely. My creative journey is guided by a soul mission: to help break the generational cycle of trauma caused by repressed emotions. For too long, feelings like sadness, anger, fear, even joy, have been quashed, silenced, or numbed, and those coping strategies have passed down silently from parent to child.

Through my work, I create safe, imaginative spaces where emotional expression is not only allowed but celebrated. The Bella Santini Chronicles is one such space, a fantasy series that gently teaches children how to recognize, honor, and process their emotions. My television show, Unfiltered Parenting, continues that mission by supporting adults in building deeper emotional connections with their children and themselves.

At the heart of it all, my work is about bringing emotional healing into the light. I believe that when we teach children to feel, we give them the freedom to become their most authentic, empowered selves. And when parents heal alongside them, the cycle finally breaks.

So yes, the mission is deep—but it’s also hopeful. And I do believe the world is ready. One open heart at a time, we’re moving toward a future where emotional awareness is the norm, not the exception.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

One of the most defining moments of my life, and perhaps the greatest testament to my resilience, was when I chose to walk away from everything I knew: my job, my marriage, my country. It wasn’t a single dramatic moment, but a series of soul-led decisions, each one demanding courage.

For years, I lived in a space that looked stable on the outside, but inside, I was shrinking. I was in an emotionally abusive marriage, feeling unseen and disconnected from my true self. I had a successful career, but it no longer felt aligned with who I was becoming. I could feel a quiet inner voice growing louder, telling me there was more; more freedom, more love, more truth.

It started with a wildfire that destroyed everything—my home, my possessions, the life I had built. I was left standing in the ashes, quite literally homeless. But there’s something strange and sacred about that liminal space, the in-between. When everything familiar is stripped away, you begin to see options that were always there but somehow invisible before.

So I made a choice. I left. I stepped away from my home, my identity, my work, my marriage—even my country—and moved to a city across the ocean, where I knew no one. It was one of the most terrifying and liberating decisions I’ve ever made.

There were days when doubt crept in. I wondered if I had made a mistake. But in that vast uncertainty, something unexpected emerged: my own strength. I wasn’t just rebuilding a life, I was rediscovering who I truly was.

From that raw, open space, The Bella Santini Chronicles was born. A series created not from strategy, but from soul. It’s a testament to what can grow when we choose healing over fear, and when we trust that even in the ashes, magic can rise.
