In the second interview of International Women’s Month, JoAnne explores the inspiring story of Angela Jamieson, a multi-talented Canadian woman who has worked as an engineer, consultant, and transformational coach.
After a global career as a petroleum engineer, Angela returned to Canada to raise her children and seek personal growth. Angela explains how she went on a search to “inner engineer” herself. Now she teaches the inner engineering course for logical-minded individuals, emphasizing the importance of emotions and "Relaxed Productivity," integrating logical thinking with emotions. 
We also delve into Angela's publishing, her writing, and her upcoming book titled "Using Number Two To Get To Number One," where she draws life lessons from digestion analogies. Everybody eats, sleeps, and of course, eliminates. She reflects on her childhood and shares with humor how her experience with her mother influenced her affinity towards digestion and “# 2”. 
Angela advises women engineers to be true to themselves and not conform to the stereotype of being emotionless. She suggests finding a mentor and a community of like-minded individuals for support and accountability for women entrepreneurs. For working mothers, she advises prioritizing enduring joy over societal productivity pressures.
