ANGEL ON MY SIDE

Staff

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2007 American Community Survey, Women between the ages of 40 and 65 years of age make up 21.9 percent of the American population. Of this number, 32.8 percent have never been married, are divorced or widowed. Additionally, 12 percent are single parents.

Widowed at the age of 44, diagnosed with breast cancer the following year (now a 4-year survivor), a single parent and laid off from a six-figure job of nine years in 2007 as a corporate executive, Angel Uddin has first hand experience as to the impact of these challenges. Nonetheless, she has survived and risen above it all. It has been through a positive attitude, perseverance, faith and well thought out strategies that she has been able to overcome life's obstacles.

In November of 2006 Angel opened a specialty shop focusing on the sensuality issues of middle aged women and their partners. She sought to eliminate the stigmas of sex with her target audience and help them find more fruitful relationships as well as their voices. After two and a half years her dream became part of the sobering statistic of the economic downturn. At the end of this February the doors closed on her business.

Instead of being discouraged, Angel decided to "reinvent" herself and her business. As a Certified Relationship and Life Coach, she decided to channel her gifts and energies towards those who needed her guidance the most.

On the second Wednesday of each month women from across the Twin Cities gather to share and support each other through the ups and downs of midlife experiences. This is a relaxing, casual social event to meet new friends and for women to realize they are not alone in their journey. Angel is the founder and facilitator of this group known as The St. Paul Women in Transition.

Her topics include:

Navigating life after divorce
Life after Loosing Your Partner
Confidence to Step Outside Your comfort Zone
Dating after 40
Single Parenting of Teen Girls
The Emotional Affects of Peri-menopause and Menopause
Whether to Stay or Leave the Marriage
Sensuality in Mid-Life, Frisky after 50
Rekindling the Passion
Career Transition in the Second Half of Life
Charting Your Journey From Here

Through the use of technology, Angel extends open access to not only women in the Twin Cities to such vital information, but she reaches women all over the globe. This is important work and Angel is passionate about the help she is bringing and the difference she is making in the lives of so many women.
