You may get a sense for what the phrase, 'addiction to failure' means. When I hear that I immediately think of all the negative self talk that runs through my mind, when I'm not paying attention.

It is possible and she gives us some simple steps to achieve it in this interview. Don't miss the end of the interview when Angela explains how many in the spiritual community try to "bribe" the universe into getting what they want, and how and why that doesn't work. She gives a great example from her own life and explains the missing piece to manifesting that many of us miss. From an early age, Angela has been gifted with an ability to perceive people’s energy and thoughts. That gift, along with her natural curiosity led her on a decades-long journey of spiritual and personal development that has borne incredibly powerful tools that yield results for anyone who uses them, within a remarkably short time.
