We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr Joan Hangarter/ Joan Of Angels and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr Joan Hangarter/ Joan of Angels, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success and the success of my brand has been staying true to a vision of empowerment, healing, and transformation for others. As my mother used to tell me, I am tenacious. When I conceptualize a dream or project, I take action.

Whether through my esoteric chiropractic work, soul essence portraits, or identity theft protection services, my mission is to support people in finding strength, peace, and a sense of purpose. My journey, which has included challenges and deep spiritual growth, has taught me the value of authenticity and service. My mission has always been to heal, inspire and uplift humanity, as I encourage others to believe in themselves and live their best life.

By prioritizing genuine connection, I can create experiences that not only heal but inspire clients to step into their fullest potential. This alignment with purpose and my commitment to being a guide through life’s complexities are what drive my brand forward.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My business, Joan of Angels, LLC, is a blend of practical protection and profound spiritual guidance. As a Legal and ID Shield Protection Advocate, I’m committed to empowering people to safeguard their identities and protect their personal information—a critical need in our increasingly digital world. Alongside this, I work as an Intuitive Guide and Soul Portrait Artist, where I help clients reconnect with their higher selves, discover their life purpose, and feel truly seen and empowered. This balance between the practical and the spiritual sets my work apart.

Getting to where I am today has been a journey of perseverance and deep learning. It hasn’t always been easy—especially in blending the esoteric with tangible services. Many people didn’t initially understand how identity protection relates to spiritual guidance, but I see it as a form of holistic care that addresses both our physical and metaphysical well-being. Challenges have taught me resilience and, most importantly, to listen closely to my intuition, which has been my guiding light in overcoming obstacles.

I’m proud of the transformational impact I see in my clients, whether it’s through helping them protect what matters or creating a soul portrait that reveals their true essence. My brand is about showing people that they can be empowered in every aspect of their lives, with a sense of safety and deeper purpose. I want the world to know that blending practical tools with spiritual insights is a powerful way to help us all live more

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
As a digital nomad recently relocated to Fort Lauderdale, I love exploring all the vibrant, scenic spots here! If my best friend came to visit, I’d start the week with a stroll down Las Olas Boulevard, the heart of Fort Lauderdale. We’d grab brunch at Louie Bossi’s Ristorante, known for its incredible Italian cuisine, before exploring local art galleries and boutique shops along the boulevard.

For beach time, Fort Lauderdale Beach is a must. We’d spend a day soaking up the sun and taking a leisurely walk along the palm-tree-lined promenade. To mix it up, we’d take a water taxi ride through the city’s famous canals for a “Venice of America” experience and some sightseeing from the water.

For something more adventurous, we’d plan a day trip to the Everglades National Park for an airboat ride and some alligator sightings!

I’d also take my friend to Bonnet House Museum & Gardens for a bit of history, and we’d enjoy the lush surroundings.

Fort Lauderdale has a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and culture—just right for a digital nomad lifestyle!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’m grateful to so many people and influences that have contributed to my journey. First, I’d like to recognize my spiritual mentors, whose wisdom and guidance helped me understand the true depths of healing and transformation. Their teachings continue to inspire my work and my life. I also owe so much to my family and close friends who have offered endless love and encouragement, even as I pursued unconventional paths.

Additionally, I want to acknowledge the incredible clients I’ve had over the years. They trust me to guide them on their healing and transformational journeys, and their courage and openness inspire me every day to continue refining my work. Lastly, I’d like to thank all the authors, healers, and thinkers whose books and teachings on spirituality, personal growth, and resilience have been invaluable to my evolution and the success of my brand.
