Breakthroughs & Believing Youβre Worth It πͺ
The Breakthrough Year: My Week at Impact Eleven
Last week, I attended a speaking convention called Impact Eleven. Walking into that room—a room full of the best speakers and leaders in the industry—was both thrilling and terrifying.
Here’s the truth: I had to believe I deserved to be there. That I’m worthy of sharing space with people who challenge me to grow.
This year, my word is BREAKTHROUGH. Last year was about healing, learning, and growth. I overcame heartbreak, built my team, and welcomed hundreds of women into our pull-up program. But this year? This year is about stepping into the version of me I’ve always envisioned—standing on big stages, making an impact, and living fully aligned with my vision.
And let’s be real: Breakthroughs often come from breakdowns. I had to move through the discomfort and do the inner work to prepare for what’s next. It’s not just about achieving the goal—it’s about becoming the person who can handle it.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
-
Growth happens outside of your comfort zone.
-
You have to act like the higher version of yourself NOW.
-
Taking care of your health, your space, and your mindset isn’t optional—it’s the requirement.
This is why the women in my pull-up program aren’t just getting stronger physically—they’re landing promotions, showing up more confidently for their families, and stepping into new areas of their lives. It all goes hand in hand. πͺ
Every week, I have a call with my Strong Feels Good Coaching Clients, and their insights never fail to inspire me. These moments of reflection and growth aren’t just theirs—they’re lessons that can help you too. Here are some of their powerful stories:
“I thought this was too expensive… but I realized I’m worth it.”
One of my clients, Patricia, shared a powerful mindset shift that changed everything for her. She told us:
“I used to think this program was ‘too expensive,’ but then I realized—what’s more valuable than me? I’m worth the investment.”
She went on to explain how this simple reframe helped her show up not only for her workouts but also for her life. Choosing to prioritize herself wasn’t just about fitness; it was about reclaiming her power and confidence.
Takeaway for You: Investing in yourself is never a cost; it’s a declaration of your worth. And trust me, you are worth it.
Showing Up Even When It’s Hard
Amrutha had a tough week. Between holiday stress, low energy, and a packed schedule, she felt like she was in a rut. But instead of giving up, she reframed her goals. Her focus shifted from "perfect workouts" to simply getting movement in each day. She said:
“I didn’t feel like doing anything, but I told myself to just stretch or do 15 minutes. It wasn’t perfect, but it helped me keep going.”
Takeaway for You: Progress isn’t about being perfect. It’s about staying consistent, even in small ways. Your future self will thank you for every step you take—no matter how small.
Releasing Pressure and Finding Joy
Lalita, one of our coaches, shared a key insight:
“Pressure is the biggest energy stealer. The moment you switch to playfulness and curiosity, things start to happen.”
She’s right. When we put too much pressure on ourselves to achieve, we often block our own progress. But when we approach our goals with curiosity and joy, everything shifts.
Takeaway for You: What if you let go of the pressure this week? What if you allowed yourself to enjoy the process? See how much lighter and more motivated you feel.
Small Wins Lead to Big Momentum
Whether it’s Patricia walking her grandchild and celebrating functional strength, Amruta finding energy in a quick stretch, or Lolita shifting her mindset to embrace joy, these stories remind us:
-
It’s not about being perfect.
-
It’s about showing up.
-
And it’s about trusting the process.
Living by Design, Not by Default
The biggest breakthroughs happen when we stop rushing and start building with intention. As I learned at Impact Eleven, being in the room with the best isn’t just about leveling up professionally—it’s about believing you belong there and embodying your next level self now.
This week, I challenge you to reflect on these questions:
-
Where am I holding back because I don’t feel "ready"?
-
What small action can I take today to step into my next level?
-
How can I reframe pressure into playfulness?
Let’s make this week about progress, not perfection. Hit reply and tell me your small win—I’d love to celebrate with you.

Will YOU be the next success story?!
Jocelyn was no stranger to fitness. She worked out consistently for years, built a strong foundation for herself and her family, and made fitness a priority. Yet, despite being healthy and strong, she still couldn’t achieve a single pull-up.
She wanted it badly, but it just wasn’t happening.
What Jocelyn didn’t realize is that the pull-up is a full-body movement—and there’s a specific pathway to achieve that goal for women.
That’s why I created the Pull-Up Revolution Method. As a 6x Ninja Warrior, I’ve worked with hundreds of women just like Jocelyn to crack the code. It’s not about size, age, or biology. It’s about a method that works.
Jocelyn decided to give it a shot, and not only did she get her first pull-up… she achieved 10 pull-ups. π
Now, as one of our Pull-Up Revolution Coaches, Jocelyn is helping women just like her achieve what once felt impossible.
This isn’t just about fitness—it’s about creating strength, confidence, and independence in your life.
“I really just wanted one proper unassisted pull-up but thought, why not aim for more? So, I set a goal of 5 by 50.
π 5 days before my milestone birthday, I got 6!!
The feeling of being strong and achieving a goal I thought was almost impossible was exhilarating and empowering. This didn’t happen quickly—it was a 2-year process for me as I had an existing shoulder issue.
The best part? I’m 15 lbs heavier now than in the first post two years ago, and I feel stronger and more confident than ever.
Huge gratitude to the Queen of Pull-ups @angela_gargano and her amazing programs @pulluprevolution and @strongfeelsgood_ for showing me what’s possible. I’m excited for the next chapter of my life! π₯³”
This is what it looks like when you combine consistency, a proven method, and a supportive community. πͺ Whether you’re starting from zero or working through setbacks, this is your sign that anything is possible.

What if, instead of fearing the worst, you envisioned the best? What could you accomplish if you embraced every challenge as an opportunity? How might your team grow if they learned to see setbacks as stepping stones? We all face obstacles, uncertainty, and pressure—but not everyone knows how to turn these experiences into fuel for success. That’s where Angela Gargano steps in.
As a 6x American Ninja Warrior, fitness coach, and resilience expert, Angela has seen both sides of the journey—triumphant wins and crushing defeats. She’s known the frustration of setbacks, from tearing her ACL on national television to battling her way back to peak performance. Through it all, she developed a powerful mindset that not only helped her return stronger but also allowed her to thrive. Angela shares this mindset with audiences worldwide, showing them how to embrace their struggles, shift their perspectives, and take control of their lives.
What If It All Goes Right? is based on Angela’s R.I.G.H.T Framework: a powerful 5-step process designed to equip individuals and teams with the tools to overcome challenges, embrace change, and achieve extraordinary results. This keynote isn’t just about surviving tough times; it’s about using those moments to unlock new levels of strength, confidence, and potential.
