  • Finding Rhythm Through Life Transitions: Angela Lewis on Remote Work, Community, and Resilience
    2025/01/09

    In this week’s episode of Poncha Talk, I sit down with Angela Lewis—former professional athlete, PR coach, and remote work enthusiast—to explore her inspiring journey of navigating life transitions and finding her rhythm. 🌍✨

    Angela shares how she transitioned from a hectic life in the U.S. to embracing the remote work lifestyle in Medellín, Colombia, where she lived for two and a half years. We discuss how immersing herself in the local culture and creating meaningful routines helped her find balance and resilience. Now back in Dallas, Angela continues to work remotely, applying the lessons she learned abroad to ease her current transition.

    Here’s what we cover in this episode:

    • Angela’s journey from professional athletics to PR coaching and helping people find their voices.
    • The importance of community and resilience in navigating life’s ups and downs.
    • Her experiences living and working remotely in Colombia and embracing a slower, more intentional lifestyle.
    • Tips for bringing routines and lessons learned from abroad into new life chapters.

    🎧 Whether you're a remote worker, digital nomad, or someone navigating your own life transitions, this episode is full of inspiration and actionable insights.
