About the author
Angel Aviles
8 books10 followersIn the early 90s, Angel Aviles boldly decided to pursue her dreams. She moved from NYC to LA to become an actress. Angel appeared in projects by Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Michael Patrick King, and many others. In 1993 she landed a starring role in the cult classic, Mi Vida Loca. Angel's portrayal of Sad Girl has become an iconic representation of both strength and vulnerability in the Chicano culture.
Since the 2000s, Angel has worked as a high profile digital producer and marketing expert. She came out as a winner from her battle with depression and anxiety, and today she's proud to say that she finally found herself (maybe).
These days, Angel is a transformational life coach, a motivational speaker, and a fighter for justice. She co-founded Living Firme, a lifestyle brand dedicated to spreading joy, destigmatizing poverty, and encouraging communication. Angel facilitates dynamic workshops across the US, where she helps hundreds of people connect with their inner chingona (badass).
At Living Firme, she and her team provide safe spaces for people of all walks of life to learn and share experiences that foster creativity, joy, and hope.
When she is not at work, she is a mom, a traveler, a volunteer, a tech evangelist, a divorcee, a homegirl from the Bronx, a soulmate, a seeker, and most of all, a genuine human.

Angel has an amazing way of using her voice and her experiences to not only reassure us that it is possible to live the life of your dreams but that even in the face of paralyzing anxiety, self-doubt, and sadness it is possible to be able to create it for ourselves.

What a good read. I can’t wait to put some of these skills and tips to use. This is my first ever self help book and I have to say glad I read it all the way through. Perfect timing during the pandemic to read I know we all feel a little depressed or anxious.

thank you
I enjoyed reading this book. I was stuck (at first) envisioning “sad girl” telling her story…the title brought me back to the movie.
Angel shares her story and has overcome and manages to battle her “demons” and shares tools and tricks to help others get a grip on theirs. Muchas gracias!!!

Way better than expect it.
I plan on reading it yearly, if not every 6 months.
