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.

To all adoptees who have felt emptiness and to all those touched by a sense of rejection — Let us be greater.
Our broken circumstances and experiences of abandonment will never define our existence or worth. The sense of emptiness that haunts us is rooted in loss, but there's strength in embracing this truth without shame. By acknowledging our darkest moments, we reclaim our power and reunite with ourselves on the deepest level.
We have the voice to be greater by fully embracing and allowing our emotions to unfold completely. Through this embrace, we find the catalyst for healing, transforming adversity into strength. As we courageously navigate our emotional landscapes, we become the architects of our own growth, emerging as the greatest versions of ourselves.
In this episode, Michelle Madrid, a New World Library author of the book “Let Us Be Greater,” shares her empowering letter to the adoptee community and to all those who have felt rejected by their family or loved ones, making them feel unworthy and rejected. She reminds us that we are more than enough and empowers us to be greater!
