Welcome back to Let’s Try This Again—I’m your host, B Simone, and this episode is extra special because we’re coming to you straight from beautiful, healing Bali! I sit down with Angelica, co-owner of Hotel Sages, the first Black woman-owned hotel in Bali, and together we get real about the journeys that brought us both here. We dive into what it means to find and create sanctuary—spaces for women to heal, connect, and thrive—whether it’s through my LTTA Connect retreats or Angelica’s journey from California and DC to Bali, building a business, navigating family relationships, and even embracing unexpected love.
We talk openly about childhood, step-family dynamics, divorce, pressure to fulfill others’ expectations, and the boldness it takes to live for yourself instead of just for those around you. Angelica shares how she and her partner came to Bali only to have their investor disappear—and how faith, community, and family support brought their dream alive anyway. I open up about using my pain, public scrutiny, and sisterhood to fuel resilience, and how creating real connection—both at home and especially in international healing spaces—has become my calling. This episode is full of laugh-out-loud moments, deep healing talk, business gems, and practical wisdom for anyone learning to let go of people-pleasing, stop asking for permission, and go where their spirit calls. If you’re craving space to just be—messy, healing, bold, and beautifully yourself—this one is for you.
