Angela Douglas is the Executive Director for Healthy New Albany which is an organization that promotes wellness in Ohio. They have toddler in nature programs, nourish cooking lessons, a food pantry, and five races throughout the year that help fund their programming. They also have a virtual kids marathon where you do 26 miles over an 8 week period. She started the food pantry in her garage when she was pregnant and had a 1.5 year old. It is really cool to hear how all of that evolved. She also served in the army for 4 years and in this episode she shares how that shaped how she views life everyday and feels a pull to make an impact in what she does.  In this episode, we get to hear about finding ways to give our kids perspective, kids in sports and athletics and the importance of moving our bodies.  Photo credit: James Decamp What we talked about: 3:10- Introduction to Angela 4:15- Her inspiration to join the army and how her experience inspired her to give back 9:40- Teaching your kids about having a perspective on their life 10:25- How she started the food pantry 15:45- How the food pantry process works 21:15- Her work with Healthy New Albany 24:30- Healthy New Albany race series 26:05- The kids marathon and encouraging kids to be active 29:15- Kids and sports 33:30- Encouraging people to exercise daily 44:35- Communicating with her kids about the importance of movement 49:10- End of podcast questions Show notes: The Piano Teacher Stone Soup Healthy New Albany Website Connect with Lindsey:  Lindsey on Instagram Lindsey on Twitter Lindsey on Facebook  Join the I’ll Have Another Facebook Group Support the I’ll Have Another Podcast on Patreon Follow SandyBoy Productions: Sandyboy Productions on Twitter Sandyboy Productions on Instagram SandyBoy Productions Shows:  Why is Everyone Yelling?
