Angela Talent: Turning Pain into Purpose on Relatively Damaged
Sharing your story and making other people realize it's okay to not be okay, it's okay to go through all this stuff and you can actually come out the other side and make such a difference.
Angela Talent, a mother of two, faced a life-altering diagnosis at 35. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) took away the use of her hands and limited her mobility. But Angela didn't let that stop her. She channeled her struggles into something beautiful and started her podcast, Relatively Damaged. In this episode of 'The Now What Society', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy dive into Angela's journey of resilience and transformation.

She opens up about the challenges of living with CRPS, the importance of gratitude, and how sharing our stories can connect and empower us all. Angela also discusses her hopes to drive policy changes for disabled individuals in the United States, shedding light on the often overlooked struggles they face.
