Angela's career took a dramatic turn when she tore her ACL live on American Ninja Warrior while ranking among the top female competitors. The injury forced her to rebuild her body and identity from the ground up, transforming a personal crisis into the backbone of her work on adaptability, momentum, and emotional resilience. That journey also sparked the creation of the Pull-Up Revolution, a global program that has helped thousands of women ages 30 to 70 achieve their first pull up, redefining what strength looks like at every stage of life. Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Women’s Health, and Oxygen Magazine, and she hosts the What If It All Goes Right podcast.
Angela teaches audiences how to stop freezing in moments of change and start building momentum through her RIGHT Framework—a system for navigating setbacks, reframing failure, and creating sustainable progress. She works with executives, teams, and organizations facing disruption, helping them shift from hesitation to high performance. Her approach blends behavioral science with real-world lessons from competition and coaching, giving people practical tools to adapt under pressure.
Audiences walk away with a blueprint for moving through fear and uncertainty, tools to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth, and strategies to build courage and discipline that outlast motivation. They learn to focus on what they can control, take action without waiting for perfection, and create momentum through small, intentional steps.
Angela shows you how to stop asking "What if I fail?" and start leading with "What if it all goes right?"
