We were lucky to catch up with Angie Barnett recently and have shared our conversation below.
Angie , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
Hello, I am Angie Barnett aka Cocah AngieBe. I am a wellness coach and transformation life coach I help people rediscscover their power threw personal wellness. I got out of a high-control religion, by using fitness to rediscover my strength. My book is coming out later this year. My chapter is called
“my pussy saved my life’ this is a story about having sex before marriage got me kicked out of my family, friends, and the whole religion that I grew up in. I used fitness to take control take control of my mind, manifest the life that I want, and create a new family that loves and accepts me for who I am.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
While I didnt know it at the time, getting in to the fitness industry was the way that I began to take full control of my life by taking control of my body. Being raised in a high control religion, I had no control over my day to day life however I did have control over my body. I began personal training in 1999 and began to develop my tenique over the next few years. Over the past 20 years I have helped hundreds of people not only release weight but also rediscover their true power. In addition to this in 2015 I discovered the polite of people leaving high control religions and started to get my life coaching cert so I can help people leaving high control religions like me. Coach Angie Be offers wellness coaching, Personal training, aerobics and group training, and life coaching.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Being kicked out of a high-control religion where your whole social system has been removed because you made a decision, that was right for me however against the rules of the organization. I had to start off a new life without knowing anyone, moving to a new city, and being shunned by the family and friends that I knew over my whole life. Relearning life, in a way that does not allow me to self-defeat myself. Learning how to love myself where I am today and still grow to the future without blame, shame, and guilt.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
I had to relearn how to love myself and accept myself as who I am as a person. How not everything is not my fault, How not to accept blame for everything, How to stand up for myself, and that
I also had to learn that God still loved me even though I was no longer in the religion that was called “his true religion’ I discovered my power. I am powerful.
