About Angie
Angie is a single mom of three kiddos from Salt Lake City, Utah and the owner and creator of Deriveretreats. She discovered her passion for travel when she decided to try and discover her true self. She knew she wanted to become free of the mindset of having self-limiting beliefs. Leaving the societal norm of needing a 9-5 job where you trade your time for money behind. She craved more, and through traveling she discovered that she could create a business through her true passion of travel. Today she discusses the mindset of turning passion into a career and how you can achieve it.
Her Mission
The journey to self-discovery was what made her realize that she could do anything she set her mind to, and she wanted to help others on their paths of finding their true selves. Through her business she has been able to do just that. By experiencing new cultures and places, it makes people begin to create a new perspective on life. Traveling forces people to look inwards rather than keeping their minds filled with worries that we create living in our society. She specifically chooses traveling overseas, because she believes it is the best way to get people outside of their “bubble” that they create.
Her business focusses on creating self-discovery trips rather than a mere vacation. She goes off the beaten path and exposes people to experiences that are moving and eye opening, such as giving back to the local kids. Meditation, journaling, helping the locals, and trekking are just some of the many things people experience through these trips. People tend to forget how important it is to connect with themselves, we are always so busy, but when you are in a new place it forces you to connect with your childlike wonder of being worry free and finding happiness in simple things. Peru, Bali, Croatia, The Philippines, and Mexico are just a few of the places she has traveled to with her retreats she created.
“We spend half of our life learning how to become an adult, and we spend the second half learning to become a kid again”
The Importance of Mindset
Mindset with business is everything. If you don’t have a positive mindset then you won’t be able to succeed. A lot of times we have these limiting beliefs when it comes to our potentials, but we can make anything we want to happen. It’s all in the mindset. If you fail, try try again. Do not see it as a failure, see it as a lesson, adapt and try again. You won’t ever be able to have deep connections with others if you haven’t connected with yourself first. You must always believe in yourself. By working through your thoughts and challenging your doubts it helps you discover your confidence and when you believe in something with confidence then other people will believe in it too.
I remember telling myself: I want other people to really feel the feeling of being free, and when I really focused on looking inwards, I started to realize, I can do anything I set my mind to. People tend to always overthink things which is mostly caused by having self-doubts that holds you back from taking action.
The sky is the limit.
