Media Rebel Unplugged
Welcome to Media Rebel Unplugged, the podcast for women entrepreneurs and leaders who are building with a stronger mindset, real confidence, and zero interest in pretending everything is fine. Here we talk business, leadership, women empowerment, and the behind-the-scenes truth of what it takes to grow, rebuild, and rise.
I’m Janice Becker, CEO, speaker, and author of Rebel Rising Within (releasing March 2026). This show is your backstage pass to real conversations about entrepreneurship, leadership mindset, motherhood, healing, mental health, and what it really looks like to lead when life has asked too much.
Each week, we feature honest conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and change makers navigating life and business, while building resilience, boundaries, and a business mindset that actually supports the woman behind the work.
Topics we cover:
Women in business and entrepreneurship
Women’s leadership and personal growth
Mental health, healing, and resilience for women
Motherhood, work life balance, and boundaries
Digital marketing, branding, and business strategy
