emPOWERed Half Hour
I believe successful women are sitting on decades of intellectual capital they haven’t fully recognized as their own.
I know because I was one of them.
I spent decades building a Fortune 500 career while becoming an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and eventually building a million-dollar business alongside it.
I stopped believing I had to choose between the career and the dream.
Now I’m exploring a bigger question:
What becomes possible when you stop proving who you are and start owning what you know?
The emPOWERed Half Hour explores Portable Authority, identity-based business, thought leadership, personal branding, and the body of work hiding inside your experience.
I’ll share what I’m seeing, learning, and building—and what I believe is changing for executive women who want more, but don’t necessarily want out.
Because I don’t think you need to reinvent yourself.
I think you need to recognize what you’ve already built.
Your company may own the deck. You own the thinking.
Your résumé describes what you’ve done. It doesn’t define what you can create.
This is the Career AND the Dream.
Ambition AND alignment.
Income AND impact.
Strategy AND soul.
I’m Becca Powers.
I’m building my AND's right alongside you.
Let’s see what becomes possible, together.

Episode 14: How Finding a Way is Totally Possible with Siri Lindley
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“I was at that point in my life where I had finally found my freedom. Freedom from my disempowering stories. Freedom from my anxiety. Freedom from all the pains that every single human being on this planet has.” - Siri Lindley
True transformation involves more than adopting surface-level practices; it requires a profound shift from within. By cultivating a mindset of joy and gratitude, developing self-awareness, and embracing our passions, we can genuinely transform ourselves and radiate contagious positivity.
In this episode, I’m honored to be joined by Siri Lindley, former #1-ranked triathlete in the world, a two-time world champion, and winner of twelve ITU World Cup races. Listening to Siri has opened my eyes to so many valuable lessons, such as vulnerability and willingness to share your stories of struggles, focusing on everything that's right versus everything that's wrong, and understanding that the pain and discomfort of leaning into something that doesn't feel true to you are so much less than the pain of staying where you are.
Siri could not have stated it better when she dropped this gem: Every moment, every breath is this miracle, this gift. And oftentimes I could be in the midst of a stressful day, but all I have to do is put my hand on my heart and get present at the moment and think, “Wow, I'm alive! I get to live this life.” It’s a mindblowing mental shift that we all need to take to enjoy the possibilities and beauty that life has to offer.
As we own this transformative journey, we become living embodiments of joy and gratitude, inspiring others and creating a life filled with authentic fulfillment.
Listen to this episode and explore the power of embracing imperfection, finding connection through shared struggles, and discovering the beauty of limitless possibilities in our unique paths.
