In this episode of Coffee and Conversations, host Jana Angel welcomes her mother, Jan Nieuwstraten Angel, for a personal talk about family, faith and the choices that shaped Jan’s independent path. From free-range childhood adventures in Savannah to a spur-of-the-moment move to Asheville, Jan reflects on responsibility, reinvention and the power of steady composure. She also recounts navigating male-dominated workplaces, demanding fair pay and leading with hospitality, empathy and grit.
