About this listen

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.

    In this final episode of the year, I share my personal reflections on 2025 as a year of shedding, transformation, and recalibration, both personally and professionally. I open up about the evolution of my work, the growth of the podcast, hitting the global top ten percent, and the behind-the-scenes transformation of my leadership and training programs. Through this reflection, I explore why letting go of what no longer serves is often uncomfortable, yet necessary, for clarity, alignment, and expansion.


    Key Moments You Won't Want to Miss:

    • Why I believe there is gold in every experience, even the painful ones
    • How the theme of shedding shaped 2025 personally and professionally
    • What it took to evolve corporate facing leadership work into accessible programs for individuals
