Dr. Angela Butts Chester: A Global Catalyst for Women’s Empowerment and Purpose-Driven Transformation. As part of the Morning Lazziness series about empowering women who encourage and do incredible things with their ideas in society, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Angela Butts Chester.   Dr. Angela Butts Chester is a dynamic force in the realm of women’s empowerment, due to her dedication to igniting purpose-driven transformations globally. 

 Hi Dr. Angela, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I was born and raised in Virginia, by two loving parents who set the foundation for my faith and values. My parents were married until my father’s passing, and their partnership showed me the power of love, stability, and faith in action. That upbringing has deeply influenced how I approach both my personal life and my work. They instilled an understanding, we are blessed with so much – be a blessing to others. 

Dr. Angela, looking forward to hearing all your stories today. We'd love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those tings have impacted your career and life.

A) My parents did more than raise me—they poured powerful values into the foundation of who I am today. My father instilled in me an unwavering belief in myself, teaching me that confidence is my birthright. He showed me the importance of honoring others and contributing positively to the community, while also reminding me always to uplift those around me. Legacy is not just built, it’s passed down.

Dr. Angela Butts Chester: Host of Daily Spark: Enlighten, Inspire, and Empower You! 

FWM: “Enlighten, Inspire, and empower you.” Explain.

Gladly!  I believe we all have been called to a purpose in life; something we must do that brings fuller meaning.   When we enlighten, we give someone greater knowledge and understanding about a subject or situation.    When we inspire, we fill someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially something creative.  When we empower, we make someone stronger and more confident in life.

Both dining and family room areas are important to families, Dr. Angela Butts Chester of New Life Pastoral Counseling in Long Beach, California, said. Even families who can’t get schedules together to sit down for a meal can meet in the family room during different points in the day.

The rooms offer the same resources: "love, time, closeness and a sense of comfort,” she said. “One room simply allows you to lounge while the other does not. No matter if you are sitting up or lying down, eating or watching a movie together, you will always carry the emotions and stories associated with the bond you made with family.”

 “As we look at the politicians of our time, many, not all, show signs of grandiosity and narcissism, said Dr. Angela Chester, a pastoral counselor at New Life Pastoral in Long Beach, California.  “They believe that they are larger than life. They are no longer an elected official, but a king of the land in which they rule. The power and authority they seek to gain does not fill the void that they have been trying to fill. Yet, they continue to become more and more obsessed with status, manipulating those around them for their own selfish gain.”

Dr. Angela Butts Chester!
What more can I say, she is simply a phenomenal human being. Dr. Angela coached me several years ago and we've worked together a couple of times since then on one of her radio shows and another event. She is so gentle, kind, and professional. She didn't know she was teaching me at the time; however, I learned so much from her and soon became a coach not long after working with her. She's so proficient in so many things I know whatever she puts her hands to will prosper! 

Some people are just gifted with the spirit of encouragement. You my beautiful sister are a Docor of Encouragement. Whenever I spend one moment with you, I am filled and inspired by your loving kindness.
