Welcome back to the RU Strong Podcast, I’m your host, Jeff Durr, and today I have the privilege of introducing a guest whose story is both powerful and deeply moving.

My guest, Ang Teeple, has lived a journey of resilience, courage, and transformation. She began her professional path as a teacher and coach, but her life took a profound turn when she chose to confront and work through years ofgrief, trauma, and mental health struggles. Instead of being defined by adversity, Ang discovered her true purpose, turning her challenges into a mission to inspire others.

That mission is captured in the title of herbook, Rise Up, which reflects not only her own personal journey but also her commitment to helping othersovercome their battles. From those experiences, she’s gone on to become a transformational speaker, mental fitness coach, podcaster, author, and the founder of All In Athletes.

All In Athletes is more than an organization, it’sa movement dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive culture in athletics. Through mental fitness education, meaningful conversations, and powerful connections, Ang is building a platform that empowers athletes to embracevulnerability, prioritize their mental health, and ultimately live with purpose.

Her mission is crystal clear: to go all in, ignite change, and inspire lives. And that’s exactly what she’s been doing, whether on stage, on her podcast, or through the communities she serves.

On today’s episode, we’re going to dive intoAng’s story, what she’s overcome, what drives her, and how she’s using her platform to change the game for athletes everywhere. This is a conversation about resilience, courage, and the power of choosing to Rise Up, no matter what life throws your way.
