Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Patricia Baronowski-Schneider, on air from January 23rd
My story is one of resilience and a stark warning about the hidden dangers lurking beyond our borders. I share my harrowing journey not to dwell on the past, but to illuminate the present and shape a safer future for others. After a near-fatal accident and a battle with brain injury, my life took an unexpected turn when I was ensnared in an international scam that led to wrongful imprisonment abroad. The experience, though harrowing, has imparted crucial lessons about the vulnerability of even the most astute among us to sophisticated deceptions and the shocking realities of our justice system’s limitations overseas. My tale is one of survival, a testament to the human spirit’s indomitability, and a call to action for greater awareness and support for those wrongfully accused. This narrative is more than a cautionary tale; it’s a lifeline to those navigating similar ordeals and an eye-opener for the uninformed, ensuring that no one else has to endure such an ordeal alone or uninformed.
My professional arc spans over three decades, beginning in the dynamic world of Investor Relations, Public Relations, and Marketing where I built a formidable career shaping narratives for businesses across the spectrum. A near-fatal skydiving accident in 2015 marked a personal and professional turning point, leading to a traumatic brain injury that fundamentally altered my life’s trajectory. In the challenging years that followed, my resilience was tested by a sequence of manipulative scams that preyed on my compromised state, culminating in a wrongful arrest abroad and a four-year fight for justice in a foreign land.
This crucible of adversity did not define me but rather refined my purpose. Today, as an author and speaker, I’m driven to share my story — a vivid testament to survival, the importance of awareness against international scams, and the need for systemic change. My mission now extends beyond business success to advocating for the unseen victims of injustice and guiding others through the labyrinth of recovery and self-rediscovery.

Building your Businesswith Sara Troy and her guest Natasha Samson. On air from January 16th
I am at a place where I have had success in my business and have recently been feeling the “winter” or “going inward” of resting, cleansing, focusing on what self-care means for me “at this time” (which is good food, sleep & rest, exercise & financial stability) and it looks different than the self-care at other times. Taking a pause. Reassessing what I want to keep and let go of with my business, what direction I want to take it.
Being “in” that inevitable entrepreneurial dark night of the soul and what it is like, how to navigate that. Knowing when you need to accept rest and accept not knowing the answers and only knowing you need to follow your joy and see where that leads you.
As you have said this journey is about the person and being an entrepreneur helps you grow, uncover, and become the person that is meant to help others.
“I Want More from Life!” is the backdrop of my offering. I offer counselling, host retreats, speak and teach on shifting mindset. Pulling from how food affects our emotions, daily habits & rhythms that help the body run efficiently, psychology (limited beliefs & blocks) to yoga, breathing & meditation. All this with a spiritual undertone. Mind, Body & Soul healing.
I also am an engineer part-time putting a serious dent in GHG reduction on the daily from existing building.

Building Your Businesswith Sara Troy and her guest Angelic Williams, on air from January 9th
I’ve always struggled with my why. I thought I was destined for one path but it took so many twists and turns that I wonder now if it’s all luck or truly pre-determined to have unfolded this way. I’ve always been a bit of an odd duck. Marching to the beat of my own drum. Through my experiences and loss, I’ve realized that the sound of my drum is for the dreamers that want to make their visions a reality and how to guide them on a path to success.
Angelic (Angie) Williams, creative Swiss Army knife, business consultant, business credit builder, recovering perfectionist, and amateur comedian.
With a diverse background spanning architecture, real estate, and entrepreneurship, she’s built affordable housing, started numerous startups, worked with other startups and small businesses to build their business, exhibited at the Forbes Under 30 conference and was in ESSENCE Magazine. Currently she works to help business owners build their business credit in order to make their dreams a reality without suffocating under personal debt.
She’s most happy when she’s exploring new places, culture or food.
Angelic (pronounced as an-juh-leek) is an author, entrepreneur, startup ecosystem builder and changemaker passionate about elevating BIPOC and queer voices. Her career spans several realms, including startups, writing and architecture.
Startups | Entrepreneurship | Tech
In 2018 she founded, MyUmbrella: an online platform that serves as a creative outlet for LGBTQ+ community members. Unlike other platforms, MyUmbrella invites community members who want to share their stories the opportunity to do so by joining our Writers Cohort. Their published work reminds us that we’re not as alone as we think we may be. Angelic was honored in the May/June 2022 issue of Essence Magazine, spotlighting queer leaders.
Most recently, she was the Senior Program Manager at StartOut, a national nonprofit that supports the LGBTQ+ entrepreneurial community by providing the resources entrepreneurs need to succeed, promoting the successes of our community, and researching the economic impacts of LGBTQ+ discrimination. During her tenure, she oversaw a 200% program and expansion and facilitated hundreds of introductions and exposure opportunities to LGBTQ+ founders in the US and overseas.
Having wrestled with burnout on her own ambitious journey, she harnessed personal experiences and a vast network cultivated within the tech community. The outcome? “Toxic Ambition” – a transformative course engineered to combat burnout. Tailored for ambitious professionals, entrepreneurs, and students alike, this course delves deep into the reasons behind goal-induced burnout, the silent surrender, and the shadows of depression or anxiety. It’s more than a course – it’s your toolkit for orchestrating a life where ambition thrives in harmony.
Additionally, she was the founding lead of the Black Women Talk Tech San Francisco Chapter and was selected to exhibit at the Forbes Under 30 conference in 2018.
Writing
Angelic’s debut novel, Immersive Love, showcases her prolific and engaging writing style through a queer love story that will make you laugh, cry and keep you guessing until the end.
From 2020 – 2023 she was a founding Advisory Council member for the Cureve Foundation, an organization whose mission is to empower lesbians, queer women, trans people, and non-binary people to share our culture and stories, connect with each other, and raise visibility.
