Angela Tiedemann

Angela Tiedemann has over a decade long career in the health and wellness industry. She uses her education in exercise physiology and experience in wellness to encourage others to lead a healthy lifestyle. Angela realized she did not always take her own healthy living advice which began to take a toll on her mental health. Afraid that would carry over to her home and even her work life, she looked internally to her wealth of wellness knowledge in order to find ways to make her mind and body whole again. Angela typically turns to exercise and running for her mind and body, but found she needed more at this stage in her life to fight the impact of her stress. One way to escape for Angela is by dreaming of another portal where witches exist. Actually, she often reads witch novels from her treadmill to escape the sometimes harsh realities of this earth! When searching for a way to relieve her own stress and improve her mental health, Angela discovered that writing witch poetry was just what she needed. Crafting poems became a fun way to focus her mind elsewhere to provide a brief escape. She loves reading her own witch themed poems to her toddlers because they are her biggest fans. Her husband, who is not obsessed with witches, was also surprisingly impressed (because Angela was not previously known for crafting poems). Thanks to her family’s amazement, Angela now shares her poems in books. For Angela, a stand out line in The Extraordinary Witch is, "The witch is on watch, cautious and ready. Prepared for a storm, but keeps herself steady." As a mom we never want a storm to hit, yet we know they are inevitable, we feel a need to stay strong for our kids. As an employee, Angela also wanted to showcase only her best work, but sometimes we have stormy moments to learn and grow from. Angela found herself masking her own emotions, which eventually surfaced all at once in a less than healthy way. To keep that from happening, we must all find ways to tend to our emotions and recognize that it is ok to not be ok. And now Angela wants you to discover what makes you happy in body and mind. Is it exercise, reading, connecting with others, gaming, or even poetry (whether that's reading witch poetry or writing your own!)?
