Lessons on Survival and Living from my Kidnapping

This week’s episode of the Badass Leaders Podcast is unlike any before. Normally, Angela sits down with extraordinary guests to talk leadership, resilience, and growth. But today, it’s just her—because this week marks two milestones she never thought she’d see:

1. Her 50th birthday

2. The 5-year anniversary of escaping a kidnapping

In this deeply personal and raw conversation, Angela shares her story for the first time in full. She opens up about the trauma that nearly ended her life, the hard road of recovery, and the lessons she’s learned about leading and living on the other side of survival.
