The Weight of Success is a “warts and all” documentary that chronicles the life and work of Dr. Angela Lauria, one of the fastest rising stars in the self-help and life coaching industries. While this film profiles one life coach, her struggles, and success, I believe it will force the audience to decide for themselves, if life coaching is a scam or not? So what do you think about Life Coaches? Are they modern Prophets or only concerned with Profits? You Decide.

When I first heard about Dr. Angela Lauria, her astronomical business ascent and the controversial nature of the life coaching industry, I was hooked. She seemed to have it all: her own fan base, her own lead singer swagger, and there were a lot of skeptics (including in her own family). As the audience will see, the film’s story is told through the lens of one of the fastest rising stars in the self-help world. Along the way we meet a slew of her aspiring mentees that she leads through her self-help book seminars, who believe that they are “making a difference” in the world with their books, and their businesses. - M.
