The Great American Women series is now in its third season and has several amazing and inspiring women with great stories to tell.

Angela Parretta is the owner and founder of Drenched, a fitness studio in Orange County that offers classes, including hot pilates, that focus on mind, body and soul.

“The most important part of the work out, for me, is that people feel beautiful when they leave, from the inside and out.

” She has been in the fitness industry for 30 years and even had the opportunity to be a cheerleader with the Kansas City Chiefs for three years.

Talking about moving to Orange County and starting her own business she said, “It was scary…but, I think that you have to go in with plan A and plan A only. There is no plan B. This has to work, and you just keep fighting for it.

” As a business owner she has had failures, but she just keeps going because ultimate failure is not an option. She looks at little failures not to drag her down, but to boost her up.

She has some great advice for women who want to become entrepreneurs but might have a little anxiety or who are nervous about it. She says not to let fear stop you.

“Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams! If you really love it, go for it. Chase it. It’s out there waiting for you.”
