What if every challenge you’ve faced was actually setting you up for something greater? In this episode of Let’s Lead Together, I sit down with the incredible Angela Gargano—six-time American Ninja Warrior, keynote speaker, and fierce advocate for women's strength and resilience.
Angela’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. From working as a biochemist to unexpectedly stepping onto the Ninja Warrior stage, to facing a devastating ACL tear that forced her to redefine success—she’s been through it all. Through every obstacle, she’s discovered what it truly means to build strength, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
We talk about the power of mindset, overcoming setbacks, and why resilience is the key to unlocking what’s truly possible. Angela has helped thousands of women achieve their first pull-ups, but beyond that, she’s teaching all of us how to believe in ourselves even when the odds feel stacked against us.
If you’re ready to embrace your journey, step into your power, and redefine what’s possible, this episode is for you. Let’s get after it!

It's time for a pep talk! In this solo episode, I dive into how we can reclaim our personal power and cultivate an audaciously hopeful mindset, even in the midst of chaos. I explore how we can shape our attitudes and perspectives, no matter what challenges come our way.
I’ll also share practical ways to take care of ourselves—physically, mentally, and spiritually—while building strong, supportive communities. Because here’s the truth: joy isn’t just a feeling; it’s an act of resistance. And in times like these, choosing hope, love, and connection is the most powerful thing we can do.
So, if you’re looking for a boost of inspiration, tools to navigate uncertainty, and a reminder that you do have control over your energy and mindset, this episode is for you. Let’s rise up together!
Join us for the upcoming Energy Exchange!

In this episode of the Marli Williams Podcast, I dive into the topic of breaking the habit of people-pleasing with change coach Robynne Weaver. We explore the costs and impacts of people-pleasing on well-being and relationships. Robynne shares practical tips for setting boundaries and overcoming the guilt that often comes with saying no. I also guide listeners on how to identify patterns of people-pleasing, establish personal and professional boundaries, and communicate effectively without over-explaining. Through self-love and authenticity, Robynne and I offer strategies for healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life. Tune in for actionable insights to transform your approach to people-pleasing.
