Angela Shupe

I am a full-time college student and wellness warrior, discussing chronic & invisible illness, plus self-care coping techniques. The battle is real as I wander through the unknown with many medical questions and only a few answers, including: 😭 Depression 😨 Anxiety 🤯 Chronic Migraines 😎 Photophobia 🎧 Auditory Sensitivity 💊 Thyroid Disease 🤕 Chronic Pain 🐮 Lipo-Lymphedema (Lymphedema secondary to Lipedema) 🩸 Venous Insufficiency I cope with my struggles by using various self-care techniques. These include: 🧶 Crochet ✍🏻 Blogging 🖋️ Poetry 🎨 Line Art/Mandala Art 🖍️ Publishing Coloring Pages 🎓 Pursuing Educational Goals at UOPx With an Associate's focused on Business Fundamentals (May 2024), and continuing education toward a Bachelor's in Business (May 2026)—I'm armed with business knowledge and experience! I've earned my certificate in Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship (May 2025), further strengthening my foundational knowledge of business concepts. I'm a Dean's List recipient for January-June 2025 at UOPx, also winning the grand prize in their contest outlining why this achievement means so much to me. Lastly, I am an inducted member of The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), too. It is an honor to be a part of such a large network of leaders around the country! If you learn anything from my bio, it should be that I put my all into everything I do. Sketchual Healing and Angela J Shupe: I'm Probably Overthinking This... are more than fruits of my labor. They promote community and mindful self-care for all—while also feeding my need for purpose despite the hurdles I face.
