NEVER QUIT THROUGH GRIEF
This week’s episode of the Team Never Quit Podcast features an extraordinary woman whose life has been marked by unimaginable hardship, relentless perseverance, and a mission to bring hope to others. Angela Skudin shares her deeply personal journey through chronic illness, devastating loss, and ultimately, purpose.

After battling Lyme Disease and debilitating co-infections that left her bedridden for more than a year, Angela found herself searching for answers beyond traditional medicine. When conventional treatments failed to restore her health, she courageously pursued alternative healing modalities and psychedelic-assisted therapies. By 2022, Angela had reclaimed her life—fully restored, prescription-free, and thriving once again.

But just as healing had begun, tragedy struck.

While on a family vacation celebrating Father’s Day and her husband Casey’s upcoming birthday, a catastrophic accident changed everything. In a final act of courage and selflessness, Casey used his instincts and training to protect his family when a falling tree crushed their vehicle—sacrificing his own life to save theirs.

In the wake of overwhelming grief, Angela chose to honor Casey’s legacy in a remarkable way. She founded The Casey Skudin 343 Fund, an organization dedicated to helping First Responders access holistic and alternative treatments for trauma, PTSD, and mental health struggles born from frontline service.

This is a powerful conversation about resilience, healing, sacrifice, and discovering purpose through pain. Angela’s story is one of unwavering determination and a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, hope can still rise.
