Do you know you're meant for more but aren't quite sure what that looks like anymore?
Maybe you've been successful on paper, but something still feels off. You want work that feels meaningful, relationships that matter, and a life that reflects who you are and what matters most. You know you're capable of more, you just need the clarity and confidence to create it.
Welcome to The Intentional Mind Podcast, a show for purpose-driven women who want to intentionally design a life they're proud of.
I'm Angela Barnard (aka Ang), a keynote speaker, coach, and mom of two who believes that creating a fulfilling life starts with getting clear on your vision and taking intentional action toward it.
Each week, we have honest conversations about what's working, what's not, and what we're doing about it. You'll find practical tools, simple systems, mindset shifts, and encouraging conversations to help you move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to living with greater clarity, purpose, and intention. We'll laugh a lot, keep it real, and hopefully leave you feeling a little less alone and a lot more confident about your next step.
Together, we'll talk about:
• Clarifying your vision so you know what you're truly working toward
• Creating meaningful work that aligns with your strengths, values, and the season of life you're in
• Building practical habits, systems, and routines that help you follow through
• Faith, purpose, courage, and making decisions with greater clarity and confidence
If you're ready to stop living by default and start creating a life you're genuinely proud of, you're in the right place.
Let's build a life that aligns with who we are, what matters most, and the impact we're here to make.

235 – Have you ever hesitated to ask for what you really want—because you were too focused on what you might lose? Whether it’s upgrading your career, taking a bold step, or simply asking for something better, fear of loss can quietly hold you back from the opportunities you desire.
In this episode, I’m sharing a $2000 lesson we learned on a recent trip to Mexico—one that revealed how focusing on what you could lose can prevent you from gaining so much more. This mindset shift applies to your career, relationships, and life, and it just might be the key to unlocking new opportunities.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
🔹 How fear of loss shows up in your decisions—and keeps you from the opportunities you want
🔹 The power of curiosity and asking for what you desire (and how it can open doors you didn’t expect)
🔹 Where you might be letting fear hold you back in your career—and practical ways to shift your focus to what you can gain
🔹 Why embracing a "why not ask?" mindset leads to more possibilities in life and work
👉 Also—I’m interviewing people who feel unfulfilled in their careers and worry it's affecting how they show up at home. If that’s you, let’s talk.
💡 In exchange for your insights, I’ll share personalized advice to help you move closer to a career and life that feels aligned—nothing to sell, just a real conversation to help me intentionally design my next career alignment program.

234 – Have you ever felt torn between being a good wife and mom and pursuing the career you love? Or maybe your current job feels draining, leaving you with little energy for the people who matter most. If so, you’re not alone—and this episode is for you.
We’re diving into what it really means to be a good wife and mom—and how that includes showing up for your family and honoring the dreams that light you up. Because when your work feels fulfilling, it not only energizes you but also allows you to be more present and intentional at home.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
🔹 What it means to be a good wife and mom—and how pursuing your own goals actually helps you show up better for your loved ones
🔹 Why feeling unfulfilled in your career impacts your home life—and how to break free from that cycle
🔹 Practical ways to protect and restore your energy so you can pour into your work and your family without feeling drained
🔹 Small, intentional actions that create a positive, nurturing environment while balancing your personal ambitions
👉 Also— I’m interviewing people who feel unfulfilled in their careers and worry it's affecting how they show up at home. If that’s you, let’s talk.

233 – Do you wish you could wave a magic wand and have a career that feels good—one that aligns with who you want to be and helps you show up better for your family?
In this episode, we’re diving into the #1 thing you need to get right if you want to intentionally design a career that honors your values and makes you proud of the life you’re living.
It all comes down to getting your energy into alignment and having the courage to show up and create the life you want—rather than settling for what’s handed to you. We’ll explore why this shift is so powerful and how to start advocating for the career and lifestyle you deserve.
Also—I want to hear from YOU! I’m currently designing my next program and am looking to interview people considering a career switch or feeling misaligned in their work.
