Aligned & Abundant: Align Your Soul, Manifest Your Dreams, Love Your Life.

Calligraphy, Courage & Coming Home to Yourself with Angie Bailey | Aligned & Abundant Ep. 16

Season 1 Episode 16

In this heartwarming and deeply inspiring conversation, Christine Marcario sits down with Angie Bailey — a retired trauma nurse turned creative mentor — who discovered the healing magic of calligraphy during a season of complete burnout. Angie shares how years in a high-stress medical environment and an eventual Hashimoto's diagnosis led her to rediscover a childhood passion that would change her life — and now, the lives of others.

From navigating autoimmune challenges to embracing creativity as a form of self-care and meditation, Angie reveals how she transitioned from caring for others in an OR to nurturing the hearts and minds of women through calming calligraphy.

💡 In This Episode, We Explore:

  • Angie’s 32-year journey as a registered nurse — and what finally caused her to hit the wall
  • How ignoring burnout signs nearly cost her her health (and how she healed from Hashimoto’s)
  • Why a functional medicine doctor prescribed calligraphy — and how it reignited her soul
  • How creativity became her daily meditation and opened unexpected doors
  • The energetic difference between burnout and soul-aligned work
  • Her powerful manifestation story of being featured on the cover of Calligraphy Crush Magazine
  • The creation of World Calligraphy as Meditation Day and how it's changing lives
  • Tips for following your whispers (even if you're in your 50s and starting over)

🌿 Key Takeaways:

  • It's never too late to reinvent yourself or return to the things that once lit you up
  • Creativity is not just art — it's a form of medicine, grounding, and transformation
  • You don’t have to give up your identity when you pivot — you get to expand it
  • Your body will whisper until it screams — learn to listen earlier
  • Dreams manifest faster when you're in alignment and open to receive
