The emPOWERed Half Hour
Most leadership training skips this part. Dysregulated people get dysregulated results. Regulated people get radiant lives.
I'm Becca Powers—strategic sales leader, nervous system leadership expert, and USA TODAY bestselling author. The emPOWERed Half Hour is the leadership conversation I needed while leading high-performance teams, raising 4 kids, and meeting impossible expectations. On the outside, I was crushing it. On the inside, I was crumbling.
What You'll Learn: This podcast explores what happens when life and leadership collide, and powering through stops working.
Through the lens of nervous system science and trauma-informed leadership, we tackle the hard stuff:
* Why high performers micromanage when they want to empower
* How constant pressure creates reactive leadership and burnout
* What sustainable high performance actually requires
* How to regulate your nervous system under pressure
* Building teams that perform without burning out
What to Expect: Solo episodes and conversations with leaders, experts, and authors bringing real insight and hard-earned wisdom. No generic advice. Real talk, practical strategies, and ideas that actually empower you to lead differently.
This Show Is For: Leaders, executives, individual contributors, and business owners who care about results AND people. If you want leadership conversations that change how you lead and live, you're in the right place.

Episode 20: Your Story Can Make a Big Impact with Tricia Brouk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Each of us has a story, filled with experiences, challenges, and triumphs that shape who we are.
When you have the courage to share your story, you create a powerful connection with those who resonate with your journey. Your words can provide hope, comfort, and reassurance — letting others know that they are not alone in their struggles. It helps them feel that they are not alone, that someone else has walked a similar path, and that there is a way forward.
Remember, your story matters, and has the power to change people’s lives. Don't hesitate to share it boldly and fearlessly, for you never know whose life you might touch and how your story might make a big impact.
In this episode, I’m joined by Tricia Brouk, Founder of The Big Talk Academy where she certifies speakers in the art of public speaking. She helps high-performing professionals transform into industry thought leaders through the power of authentic storytelling. With her experience as a seasoned and award-winning director, producer, and mentor to countless speakers, Tricia has put thousands of speakers onto big stages around the globe.
Tricia shares with us how the power of our stories can make a significant impact, and inspire positive change in ourselves and others. She empowers us to make a difference through our storytelling, whether it's on a stage, in a podcast, or on any other platform where our voices can be heard.
