“When I began to succeed, I found out quickly who was truly for me."

In this deeply personal episode of The Angela Rose Show, I sit down once again with my soul-friend and fellow survivor, Jessica Witmer of Wild Olive Branch Coaching. We’re not just talking about healing today, we’re talking about thriving. About reclaiming agency, success, and voice after a lifetime of compliance and oppression.

Coming from Amish and Mennonite cultures where entrepreneurship was “a man’s lane,” Jess and I open up about what it really means to launch a business as a woman from a high-control religious environment. This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s about health, ownership, and self respect. It's about choosing courage over what mind control had instilled in us.

🔍 We unpack:

• The loneliness of stepping into your potential
• How gender role expectations didn't work for us and why we broke those rules
• The painful loss of relationships when we stopped struggling and started thriving
• Writing as reclamation: turning our stories into strength
• Why success as a survivor is revolutionary

If you’ve ever felt like your healing or ambition made others uncomfortable, this episode is for you.
