PODCAST: Regaining joy in life

Angela Peake’s journey into coaching is rooted in lived experience, resilience and a deep understanding of the pressures within healthcare.

In this candid conversation, she reflects on an early diagnosis of kidney disease that reshaped her ambitions, leading her into a nursing career she “loved from day one”.

PODCAST: 45 minutes

Angela shares frontline insights from years in medical wards and research, highlighting both the rewards of patient care and the growing strain caused by systemic pressures. A turning point came when her own health challenges intensified – dialysis, two transplants, and raising a premature son – forcing her to step back and reassess her path.

The pandemic became a catalyst for change. While shielding as clinically vulnerable, Angela discovered coaching and began retraining, eventually founding AMP Coaching & Consulting Ltd. Her work now focuses on supporting healthcare professionals and individuals living with long-term conditions, with an emphasis on preventing burnout and recognising early warning signs such as frustration, emotional exhaustion and loss of focus.

She speaks openly about “losing joy” as a common thread among clients, and explains how her approach – grounded in trust, confidentiality and self-awareness – helps people reconnect with what matters. From small daily gratitudes to deeper behavioural change, Angela’s work bridges personal transformation and wider systems thinking.

Ultimately, success for Angela is about impact: helping others rediscover purpose, improve relationships and realise that change is possible – at any stage of life.
