A breath of fresh air to listen to Rebecca’s honesty in pursuit of life’s truths.
Rebecca Rusch’s documentary randomly came into my life not too long ago, 3 Women, 300 Miles, which lead me to look up more things about all of them and led me down a path to discover more about Rebecca and all she’s been up to. What an inspiration and lovely happy accident to stumble upon such an amazing human. Thank you for all you do Rebecca!

Found this after reading Melissa Arnot Reid’s memoir, Enough (... more
I’ve been a fan and follower of Rebecca for over a decade now, so it was a foregone conclusion that I would listen to her podcast. But why should somebody else listen?

It’s about getting smart, capable, interesting people in a room and having an intimate conversation with them. How have they struggled? How have they persevered? What were the little victo... more
