Angie Lieber, Leadership and Personal Coach

A shot not many get: Parents beaming at their kid playing their wedding march. One decade married, 15 years together. What a blessing this man and this family, have been to me. Love you

I’m grateful for winter walks on sunny days, and for being lucky enough to come home to warmth. A bath. A bed. A place to land.

That gratitude doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It lives right alongside an awareness of the people who don’t have those things. Who are choosing between heat and food. Who don’t have reliable shelter at all.

I can feel thankful for what I have without pretending it’s effortless, and without closing my eyes to the suffering happening at the same time.

Both are true.

Fire melts ice.

Spend time with older people.
They have perspective.
They know the truth: that your pain is real and your life is long, and you will grow into it.

When I met my mother-in-law Seena 15 years ago, she was just getting used to being hard of hearing. It infuriated her (which I completely understood). Now she reads lips like a pro, asks me to face her when I talk, and her hearing aids are connected to Bluetooth. She hears you clearly on the phone.

She’s had health scares. Every time, she rallies. Not without complaints or fear, but with a fierce devotion to the idea of “just one more day.”
And honestly? That might be one of life’s greatest lessons.

When we arrived on Friday, she was a little low. By the end of dinner, she was energized again.

There is still growth ahead.
We never stop doing it.

Seena has taught me that. 💛

Nineteen floors up in the city that raised me and still rearranges me.

The same New York that distracted me from homework now distracts me from panic, small thinking, and the fantasy that life is simple.

I love the many-ness of my NYC life: babies and elders, street preachers and silent meditators, synagogue in the morning, chanting with Buddhists at night.

Residential towers swallowing landmark churches. Developers developing. All of us praying that beauty persists.

I’m still learning to let it all be true at once.

Meet Brick and Maggie …siblings in spirit, bonded by fate, and committed to each other whether they like it or not.

They started life in the same cage at the pet store. We couldn’t take one without the other.
And somehow… that tells you everything you need to know.

Brick is an all-American ginger brute with a marshmallow heart.
Maggie is our Russian Blue princess — grace, adoration, and queen energy.

They are always there for each other.
They’re also always in each other’s business.

They fight like only siblings can —
dramatic, loud, and five minutes later… forgotten.
No grudges.
No ledgers.
Just back to being curled up like the world makes sense again.

They guard each other.
They irritate each other.
They need space.
They come back.

It’s not a fairytale kind of love.
It’s the kind where you don’t get a choice , and somehow that makes it stronger.

Sometimes I am struck by how simple we are as humans - but how experience, intergenerational burdens, culture, and our brain differences make it all so complicated!

On August 8 or (you choose!) September 19, I'm hosting "Befriend Your Protectors." It’s a 2-hour workshop where you’ll get to know your protective parts and why they feel like they ARE you, but are actually just parts of you that need your attention!

This course is based on Internal Family Systems, which is both very gentle and powerful beyond measure (like humans!) If you’re curious about IFS—and how it can radically improve your daily life—this is the course for you.

Together we will look at the different parts and get to know those subpersonalities, in all their oddity and miraculousness. In a quiet space without needing to share with others at all, we will learn what it feels like to cultivate compassion for your most difficult protectors. We’ll learn how they can stop making trouble and start making magic for us.

You won’t believe how much this simple modality can change your life.

This 2-hour live workshop is $79.

This weekend, as I celebrated my 58th birthday, I felt deeply proud of aging—and the life learning that comes with it. One unexpected gift was meeting Heddy, a brilliant psychotherapist a few decades older who, like my father, spent her early years in Belgium. She felt like a guiding-light sister. Her wisdom was immense, and she embraced my years as a coach and my late-in-life decision to approach mental health through the coaching pathway.

I’ve been in awe of how the psychotherapy community has welcomed me—recognizing that deep listening and compassion aren’t granted by a license alone, but cultivated through experience, reflection, and showing up for others again and again.

If you’re curious about my unconventional approach to growth, join me for Befriend Your Protectors—a 2-hour course introducing parts work and the first steps toward self-compassion.
🌀 August 8 or September 19
Let’s begin this journey together. 💫
