A Lighter Soul
Creating a Simpler & More Fulfilling Life.
One Woman’s Journey to a Simpler Life
Like most women today, I am tired. Tired of feeling stressed and overwhelmed all the time. I am exhausted from trying to keep up with “it all” and not even knowing what “it all” actually is. I am bone weary of wondering when the good life will be here to stay.
2020 was all about surviving. 2021 is about thriving. It’s about removing the things in life that are weighing me down and simplifying my life without apology or concession. This is my journey as I navigate the twists and turns of prioritizing, discovering, embracing and disconnecting. I hope that my journey will serve as a roadmap for other women, or at least alert them to pitfalls that they can potentially avoid on their own paths.

Stuff I Work On
I am all about sharing my life’s journey with other women as a source of inspiration, direction and comfort. Here are some of the different areas I am passionate about when it comes to working with women on changing and improving their beautiful lives.
Work / Life Harmony
Most women feel pressured to “achieve” work / life balance. But work / life balance is a myth. It doesn’t exist. It only keeps you on the hamster wheel, making you feel guilty that you don’t have it all figured out yet. I teach women how to get away from the idea of work / life balance and, instead, work toward Work / Life Harmony.
Anxiety
In 2012, I was formally diagnosed with anxiety disorder, even though I had been living with it my entire life. I finally had a name for all the crazy feelings and unexplainable urges to run away from a normal, every day situation. Over the years, I have paid a lot of attention to what makes me anxious and how I can overcome it. It’s not something you “just have to deal with.”
Resources & Free Support for Widows
I have a very tender spot in my heart for widows. In 2011, I was widowed and felt completely lost and alone. It was only through connecting with other widows and helping them find their voice and purpose that I was able to make peace with my own situation. That’s why I offer a lot of services to widows, many free of charge.
Angela Moore, Founder
Hi, I’m Angela. And I believe in you and your dream. I don’t care what it is or how unrealistic it seems, you have your dream for a reason. And perhaps it is that dream that has led you to this site. Or maybe it was an accident. Either way, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a single mom, business owner, feminist, and an example of what can happen if you never, ever give up. I’ve survived trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety and more.
Every now and then, even powerful women need a little help.

A Lighter Soul: The Blog
I am, at heart, a writer. I always have been. So it was only natural for me to start a blog back in 2007 when it was just starting to take off. My blog has gone through many iterations and versions over the years and it has been a fun experiment for me to see how things have changed. But now, I use my blog to share what I’m learning about myself and life with other women. We all need help. We all need support. This is my way of offering some assistance to those who need it.
“A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.”
