Jana Polidori (Hagglund)

Jana Polidori (Hagglund) is the founder of Inspired Angels, established in 2004. It would take an enormously positive person to conceive the ‘11:59®, Never Give Up’ concept. Jana combines that can-do attitude with a commitment to share her message, enabling people to make real changes that improve their lives.
An individual to the core, Jana has embraced many life experiences. Today she lives in Ontario, Canada, but her adventures have run the gamut, from traversing North America with a Californian spiritual theatre company, hiking to the tops of glaciers, living in the desert, and driving across North America from coast to coast. Along the way, Jana continues to encounter people whose life lessons she observes and absorbs.

If you ask Jana what 11:59® means to her, she is passionate.

“I’ve had many of my own 11:59® experiences. Sometimes the struggle makes it so tough to hang on for the reward to follow. My personal trainer gets me through workouts with the challenge, “How bad do you want it?” It’s the same for me with any challenge: the effort invested determines the outcome.

“I do consider myself to be blessed, but not just because of what I’ve been given, but for how I approach every day. Because I have learned to implement the ‘Never Give Up’ philosophy into my life, I have achieved my greatest successes: I finished college, traveled, married an incredible man and had two remarkable girls, and now operate a thriving young business that reflects my deeply held beliefs.

“My infinite gratitude goes to my parents, whose unfailing belief in me allowed me to flourish.”

Christine Muschalla

Christine Muschalla joined Inspired Angels shortly after its inception, when it became evident that a friendship and shared ideals with founder Jana Polidori could develop into a meaningful business partnership. Christine is passionate, sincere and insightful, so her interest in the ‘11:59® Never Give Up’ concept came naturally.

Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, she has lived in half a dozen cities in adulthood, including three years in Spain, where the second of her two daughters was born. Still an avid traveler, Christine is always planning that next ‘trip of a lifetime’.

Christine’s own standard of excellence was a strong match with her extensive background in industries that embraced high ideals of product quality. Her approach to 11:59® is straightforward.

“I used to give up. If things didn’t happen quickly for me, I moved on. I began learning to ‘Never Give Up’ when I worked for a company that demanded patience be practiced and held in high regard. They told me that good things would come to me if I could master patience."

"They were right. Patience--taking one step at a time--has enabled me to reach my goals, including finishing my business degree. That took me ten years and two kids to achieve, but I did it. And it has led me to my new venture, Inspired Angels."

"I am thrilled to be part of a business that provides inspiration to people ready to make changes in their lives. The ’11:59® Never Give Up’ philosophy is all-consuming and can be applied to all aspects of our daily lives. I believe in our message; it is the foundation for building a successful business and living my life."
