    Episode 32: What the TEDx Stage Taught Me: Lessons in Midlife, Resilience & Reinvention

    In this episode of Harmony in the Hustle, Angela Vassallo shares the behind-the-scenes journey of delivering her TEDx talk in Tampa, Florida: The Midlife Advantage; Why Your Greatest Success Can Come After 40. From sleepless nights and self-doubt to standing confidently on the red circle, Angela opens up about what the TEDx stage taught her about preparation, resilience, and pushing through fear. She also dives into why midlife is the prime time for reinvention, how to protect your energy like it’s armor, and why sharing the messy middle is just as important as celebrating the wins. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “ready” to take on something big or felt the pull to pivot in midlife, this episode will inspire you to commit, prepare, and take bold action anyway. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why preparation is everything and why you can’t “wing” a TEDx talk. The power of declaring your goals publicly (and why accountability matters). How to overcome the fear of failure and self-doubt when the stakes are high. Why energy is your currency and how to protect it before big moments. The importance of bringing people along on your journey (and sharing the messy middle). Why midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s your greatest advantage. How menopause can be reframed as a metamorphosis and a launchpad for growth. The #1 lesson Angela took away: you can do hard things. Key Quotes from This Episode “You can’t half-ass a TEDx talk. Preparation is everything.” “Fear of failure, especially failing publicly is what holds most people back.” “Energy is your currency. Protect it like armor.” “Midlife isn’t a crisis, it’s your launchpad to success.” “You’ll never feel ready. Don’t wait. Do it anyway.” Resources & Links Follow Angela on Instagram: @iamangelavassallo

    Episode 26: Leadership is Everywhere: Lessons from Ted Lasso

    I’m back on Harmony in the Hustle after a whirlwind few weeks—traveling, recording interviews, spending Easter with family, and stepping into something huge…💥 My very first big keynote stage. In this episode, I’m sharing the real, raw behind-the-scenes of speaking at the Business Blueprint Conference on the Celebrity Edge cruise ship (yes, dream come true 🚢) and what it took to deliver a keynote I’m incredibly proud of. The topic Dale Beaumont gave me?“How to lead people who don’t want to be led.”I laughed—because honestly? That’s been the theme of my life. I open up about: Why leadership isn’t just for the boardroom—it’s in our homes, our families, and every interaction How I pulled from my own story—athletics, building Vasco’s, parenting Dylan through ADHD and ODD, and leading in industries I had no experience in The Ted Lasso effect—why humility, asking great questions, and leading with culture matter more than a résumé Why confidence is built by doing scary things, not waiting to feel ready The power of preparation and why I no longer "wing it" One of the biggest things I learned? People don’t want perfection—they want honesty. The messy middle. The stuff we usually hide. This keynote taught me so much, not just about leadership, but about who I’ve become. And I want this episode to remind you that: ➡️ You’re not too old.➡️ You’re not behind.➡️ You’re not starting from scratch—you’re starting from experience. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take the leap… this is it. 💥 My Key Reminders for You: Do the scary thing—it’s where the growth is. Confidence = trust. And you build trust by showing up. You don’t need to be perfect, you just need to be willing. Let go of what others think. Let them judge. Do it anyway. 🎧 Press play and come with me on this journey—from nerves and self-doubt to clarity and conviction. And if you’re dreaming of your own next chapter, I’ve got something to help…
