From The Depths of Despair to Freedom & Liberation


My name is Angeline Mitchell, I currently live in Saratoga Springs, NY, and I am proud and honored to be able to share my story with you.

My background is sales and marketing in the advertising/direct mail industry.  When I was very young in my 20's, I thought I met the love of my life, a very successful businessman who owned his own advertising/direct mail business.  We married and I soon became very successful, working in his business selling advertising/direct mail to businesses/restaurants in NYC, earning a six-figure income.

In September of 2001, The World Trade Center collapsed. Business income fell 90% that year. While my husband chose to seek early retirement, I set out to work in corporate America and proudly made a name for myself.  Sadly, my husband’s face did not exude similar pride, but rather only jealousy and resentment.  I soon became the victim of Physical and Verbal Assault and Abuse which continued for the next seven years.  In May of 2010, realizing that I had to make a change, I filed for divorce.

We all have choices. What a beautiful thing.  I soon grew empowered to not only seek refuge and healing by surrounding myself among positive, outgoing and caring people, but also to inspire and support others to do the same.  Relocating to Saratoga has captured this essence for me.

In October of 2010, Coni Constantine, my upline sponsor coach, contacted me about being a Team Beachbody Coach in the New York region. Realizing that I have a passion for health and fitness and the desire to inspire others achieve their health and wellness goals, I decided to join Team Beachbody as a Coach.

My newfound spirit has enabled me to focus on a very liberating goal; financial freedom . The day I signed my divorce papers, I achieved Emerald Coach status. I joined wholeheartedly, confident to reawaken my entrepreneurial spirit and begin this exciting and liberating chapter in life.  My passion is based in the Health and Wellness Industry and now I am honored to be a part of  Team Beachbody through which I can inspire and motivate people to live happier, healthier, and more fulfilled lives.

One of my favorite quotes is from Michael Jordan: "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."  When obstacles arise, embrace the challenge and celebrate the opportunity for change. I am a firm believer that by doing so, you first empower yourself so that you can then empower others.  

My biggest strength is building and earning the trust of my clients. Life is a journey, and we are all on this journey together.  Do not be afraid to make that leap. Believe in yourself and know you are worth it!!  Go for it!! You can do it!!   And Never, Ever Give Up!!

You can’t change where you have been ,but you can change where you are GOING!!

I am living and loving my new Chapter in my life. Join me and let’s Celebrate!
