But what I love about this conversation is that we don't just talk about all the things she's accomplished—we talk about everything that could have kept her from doing them. Angie’s talking about her life as a teacher, what it was like earning her doctorate in Developmental Psychology WHILE teaching full-time, and how she learned to keep saying yes even when people told her she couldn't hold both of her callings at once.
