The Erica Glessing Show Podcast #753 Feat. Angela Legh "Unleashing Supressed Expression with Inspirational Fairy Tales"

Author Angela Legh (pronounced Lee) shares how a devastating fire that took everything ended up inspiring a series of fairy tales designed to awaken expression and emotional healing!

In this heartwarming episode of The Erica Glessing Show, host Erica Glessing welcomes inspirational children's author Angela Legh to discuss her magical Bella Santini Chronicles. With captivating sincerity, Angela shares her remarkable transformative journey that began after surviving a devastating wildfire in Northern California—a life-changing event that empowered her to end a 32-year marriage, leave her government job behind, and embark on an exciting new chapter writing fairy tales in the enchanting forests of England.

With genuine passion, Angela reveals how her personal healing journey infused her writing with wisdom, weaving emotional intelligence lessons into stories that not only entertain children but offer powerful insights for parents too. She beautifully articulates the importance of allowing children to express their emotions freely rather than suppressing them, explaining that unexpressed feelings don't simply disappear—they accumulate and eventually surface as emotional outbursts.

Angela shares her creative process, finding inspiration in nature and trusting her intuition rather than forcing herself to write on a schedule. She offers aspiring writers encouragement to follow their creative instincts regardless of publication goals.

The interview concludes with Angela providing a practical emotional regulation tool called "focused attention," explaining that emotions naturally last only 90 seconds in the body when we allow ourselves to feel them fully without prolonging them through repetitive thoughts.
