Some patterns shape us. Others ask to be broken. In this episode, Angela Wimmer shares the defining moments that helped her understand the difference. Growing up in a home marked by instability, she learned early on how to think for herself – even when it meant standing alone. With the steady influence of her grandparents, she found curiosity, confidence, and the belief that her voice mattered, long before she had the words for it. Angela opens up about how those early experiences shaped the life she chose to build as an adult: a grounded marriage, intentional parenting, and a career spent helping others find clarity and direction across politics, higher education, and investing. Her story is a powerful reminder that breaking inherited patterns isn't a single decision – it's a series of choices to live differently than what you came from. If you've ever questioned the narratives you grew up with, or worked to build a life beyond them, this conversation will stay with you.
