In this transformational keynote, Angela Gargano shares the powerful story of how one split-second ACL tear on national television forced her to redefine her identity, rebuild her strength, and reimagine her purpose. What began as a devastating moment turned into the foundation of her signature RIGHT™ Framework—a step-by-step method that has helped thousands of people rise from burnout, overwhelm, and setback. Through raw storytelling and vulnerability, Angela brings the audience into the moment when everything she worked for was ripped away—and how that moment, rather than breaking her, became the catalyst for everything that came next.
Designed for leaders, high achievers, and everyday people navigating wellness, leadership positions and personal growth, this keynote challenges the idea that success comes from massive leaps or perfect plans. Instead, Angela reveals that real transformation comes from the little things: choosing to check in with yourself, moving your body for just 30 minutes, reframing a failure, or taking a single step before you feel ready. With humor, heart, and science-backed insight, she bridges the gap between inspiration and implementation, offering tangible tools that can be used immediately—at home, in business, or in leadership.
Angela closes by asking a bold question: What if the thing you think is breaking you… is actually building you? Through her RIGHT™ Framework, she invites audiences to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start creating momentum with small, intentional actions. This isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about breaking through.
