Angie Smith
Faith-forward life coaching

You built the life everyone said you should want.
Now what?

I left a 24-year career to do this. I'm not going to waste your twelve weeks.

How I work with people

Three ways in.
One direction.

Whether you need someone in your corner every week, a book to sit with, or a room changed by a single talk — I meet you where you are.

12-Week Program

UnBreakable Life

This isn't a course. It's twelve weeks of someone in your corner — someone who has sat in your seat and made the hard call. We meet weekly. You do the work. Things change.

Public Speaking

I bring 24 years of corporate leadership and the honesty of someone who walked away from it. I speak to corporate teams, retreats, and women's conferences on transition, identity, and what success actually costs.

About Angie

After 24 years, I stopped climbing someone else's mountain.

I spent more than two decades in corporate America — leading teams, hitting targets, checking the boxes that were supposed to add up to something. They did. And then I had to decide what to do with that.

What I built on the other side is Summit Consulting. A faith-forward coaching practice for high-functioning women who are quietly recalibrating, even when everything on the outside looks fine. Especially then.

I am a super-connector and an underdog advocate. I have never met a transition I couldn't sit with. I have never met a woman I couldn't find something to believe in.

The Books That Shaped Me

Books are like teachers. They arrive in our lives at exactly the right moment — when the pupil is ready.

This podcast is a place for leaders to share their stories: the books that shaped them, the moments and mentors that contributed to who they are. Our stories can be keys that unlock the future of others who have walked similar roads. Someone is waiting to hear yours.

UnBreakable Life

You don't need another plan.
You need the one you already know
to stop being optional.

Twelve weeks. Weekly sessions, one-on-one. A program built around your actual transition, not a template. Spots are limited because the work demands it.

Not sure it's right for you? Send me a note. I'd rather tell you honestly than have you start before you're ready.

Speaking & Retreats

I speak from the road I actually walked.

I bring 24 years of boardrooms, and the honesty of someone who walked away from them. No keynote I give is a performance. It's a permission slip — for the woman in the third row who needed someone to say it out loud.

I speak at corporate offsites, women's leadership retreats, faith-based conferences, and podcast events. If you're building a room for women in transition, I'd like to be there.

Inquire about speaking
  • Navigating personal and professional transition on your own terms
  • Identity, success, and what it costs to define them for yourself
  • Faith as a foundation, not a formula — for teams and individuals
  • The super-connector's approach to building without burning

Corporate & Leadership

24 years in corporate America, leading teams through change, restructure, and growth. I know the room you're speaking to.

Faith-Forward

I hold faith as the bedrock, not the topic. I speak into rooms of all kinds — and I meet people exactly where they are.

The Underdog Advocate

I root for the woman in the room who thinks the seat isn't hers. It usually is. My job is to help her see that.

The Super Connector

My networks run deep and I use them generously. Speaking engagements with me often lead somewhere unexpected — in the best way.
