Why What We Listen To Matters

Why What We Listen To Matters

by Angela J Herrington MA, LSCC | Blog, Feminine Wisdom, Healthy Healer

A Personal Moment with Sound I was folding laundry—half-distracted, half-daydreaming—when a song came on that stopped me in my tracks. I didn’t recognize it at first, but the lyrics pierced right through my busy thoughts and hit a tender spot I hadn’t been ready to...

How to be a Good Ancestor

by Angela J Herrington MA, LSCC | Ancestors, Anti-Racism, Blog

For a long time, I thought ancestors were people from my family tree—biological relatives who came before me and passed something down. But I’ve come to understand ancestry differently. An ancestor isn’t just someone who has children. An ancestor is someone whose...

Daily Embodiment Practices

by Angela J Herrington MA, LSCC | Blog, Embodiment, Healthy Healer

Remember that scene in Moana when she stands at the edge of the ocean, unsure whether to trust the water, but somehow knows it’s part of her? That’s what embodiment feels like. It’s a quiet, steady return to your body, even when it feels unfamiliar or unsafe. It’s a...

Connect With Your Body

by Angela J Herrington MA, LSCC | Blog, Feminine Wisdom, Healthy Healer

There was a time when I didn’t feel safe in my own skin.After years of spiritual trauma, harmful theology, and learned disconnection, my body felt more like a battleground than a home. I knew I wanted to heal, but I didn’t know how to begin. Most of what I’d been...

Creating Sacred Spaces for courageous conversations about #deconstruction, recovering from #religoustrauma, & learning to trust yourself again.

I know I did it wrong, but here’s why… I was “supp I know I did it wrong, but here’s why…
I was “supposed to” make sure I took pics with everyone I hung out with, tag them so we can cross pollinate our platforms, tag the ‘big speakers’ so they’ll notice me, post I was going to be there, post everyday while I was there, and then post a HUGE recap after it ended.
But here’s the thing, I wasn’t there for platforming…I was there because I needed to be with my people and make more writer friends who understand how crazy this progressive/exvangelical space actually is. 
I barely took selfies, met a few speakers, and only attended half the sessions.
BUT I chose that so I could sit and talk with friends during the other half, have deep conversations with a few select speakers and exhibitors that I felt alignment with, and brainstorm future projects with Lisa and Keely.
This event felt like putting a pin in a map that says “I am here.” 
You see, the last time I was in this building, I didn’t have an agent, book, or even a book proposal. I was seriously fangirling over people who are exactly where I am now.
So, will I gain a bunch of followers? Probably not. But my heart is full, my cheeks still hurt from laughing, and I am owning my place in the world.
Might not be what the @ccfwgr had in mind, but I am grateful.
And to those who shared a hug, laugh, or even sarcastic eye roll (I’m looking mostly at @liz_boltz_ranfeld ) I adore us and want to do this again soon. 
For those I didn’t connect with, I’m sorry we missed each other. Let’s meet up soon.
