You've read the books, done the affirmations, maybe even booked the retreat—so why does the way you handle money, ask for what you're worth, and let yourself be seen still feel stuck? In this warm, honest conversation, Desiree Stanley sits down with Angie Hawkins, The Inner Glow Coach, who helps successful-on-paper women rewrite the subconscious money stories that have been quietly running the show since childhood.
Angie explains how the beliefs we form as kids were intelligent survival strategies at the time, but they don't stop running just because we grow up. Instead, they show up in adulthood as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chasing external validation. The encouraging part: as adults, we finally get to choose whether to keep those old stories, and that choice is where everything shifts.
One of the most powerful reframes in the episode is Angie's take on confidence. So many women believe if they were just more confident, they'd ask for the raise or set the boundary. Angie flips it: confidence isn't the starting point; self-trust is. Self-trust is built through action, and confidence naturally follows. She also names a trap she calls "insight addiction"—that feel-good hit of finally understanding why we do what we do—and reminds us awareness is only step one. Real change happens when we act.
Angie also breaks down the money archetypes she sees most often, from the Good Girl who over-gives to the Prover who hustles to earn her place, and shows how these patterns shape not just our wallets but our voice, visibility, and relationships. Whether you're ready to rewrite an old story or simply curious why "how you do one thing is how you do everything," this conversation offers both compassion and a genuine path forward.
Bio:
Angie Hawkins is The Inner Glow Coach who helps successful-on-paper women rewrite the money stories that have been limiting their voice, visibility, and earning potential—so they can show up as the woman who knows exactly what she's worth and finally create a life that feels as good as it looks.
Through her signature GLOW Method, Angie helps women rewrite the subconscious stories shaping their money, voice, visibility, and decisions so they can confidently earn, keep, and grow inner and outer wealth.
She is the author of Running in Slippers, the funny yet vulnerable memoir that's 346 pages of, "There's absolutely no way this gets worse..." and then somehow it does. Angie has moved from Chicago to Hawaii on her own, jumped out of a helicopter Navy SEAL-style, bungee jumped, skydived, and cliff jumped—yet is still terrified about allowing herself to be seen.
