Rebecca is a really gifted integrative practitioner and she brings her wide ranging skill set to these deeply thoughtful, uplifting, and ever so timely and essential conversations. If you're looking to listen in on intelligent, open hearted leaders finding new possibilities for a better world - internal and out- this is your place.
My favorite part of the Unburdened Leader is Rebecca’s ability, not only to evoke deep wisdom from a range of leaders, but to distill such wisdom at the beginning and end of each episode, and to connect it with other insights. Wonderful podcast!
I discovered this podcast a few years ago and enjoy the thoughtful conversation around mental health, leadership, and everything in between.
I can always tell when a host has done their homework and crafted their interview with care and intention. Rebecca does this with each of her guests, and it shows in the quality of the questions she asks, and the depth to which the interviews can therefor go.
Love the host, the guests and the conversations!
