I’m Angela Rae, a spicy 6/2 Sacral Generator, stepmom, bio-mom, intuitive guide, and I've spent 5+ years building businesses.
I have a Medical Office Administration diploma and worked in healthcare before quitting to start my own journey of mind, body, and soul wellness and healing.
I'm a Certified Spiritual Life Coach, Intuitive Energy Healer, and trained in Hypnotherapy.
I use EFT, muscle testing, Emotion Code, and nervous system regulation as tools to help you access the strategy that's already inside you.
I created Soul & Strategy because I believe strategy isn't actually that complicated.
But self-trust seems to almost always be the missing piece.
When you trust yourself... You stop chasing. You start choosing. You stop asking everyone else what they think. You start listening to yourself. You stop trying to become someone else. And you become more of who you've been all along.
You are the strategy. Everything else is simply a tool.
Six years ago, I quit my job. I had the idea on a Thursday night impulse, and Friday morning, I handed in my resignation, with no plan, no savings, and no idea what came next.
I'd just been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and severe anxiety, COV!D was here, I was struggling personally, and I thought I was going to get fired anyway.
So I quit. And then I needed money.
I took a quick Social Media Marketing certificate, pitched myself to a local business, and landed my first client.

I first called myself Angela Rae Virtual Services and said yes to anyone who would pay me.

Then I pivoted to Colourful Connection Co. after getting certified in Colour Therapy. I thought life was better when we could connect with each other, and I wanted to help with that.
After my diagnosis, I launched into a self-discovery phase that changed everything.
I learned I had so much healing to do. I accepted that what had happened to me was abuse. I studied colour therapy, reiki, Human Design, astrology; anything that would help me understand myself.
And I started paying attention.
I noticed that bipolar disorder didn't quite fit. The trigger fit. The initial presentation fit. But the aftermath didn't.
And I needed strategies that actually worked for MY brain.
So I stopped trying to "manage" bipolar disorder and started practicing autism-related coping strategies.
And everything changed.
I stopped trying to force neurotypical systems. I stopped overriding my capacity. I started building something that worked WITH my brain, not against it.
And all of this—my healthcare background, years in business, coaching and intuitive training, and my own messy healing—taught me one thing: advice and tools only help when you can hear yourself inside them. Now I help women build a steadier relationship with themselves. We practice noticing what you feel, respecting your capacity, speaking to yourself with more kindness, and making choices from your own inner knowing. This work belongs to the whole of your life: relationships, family, work, creativity, and the everyday moments when you catch yourself asking everyone else what they think. That’s why I created The Raven’s Nest: a welcoming place to practice self-trust, one honest, real-life step at a time.
That is the magic of self-trust!
