What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of time, talent, or opportunity, but the belief that you have to choose?
I sat down with Rebecca Powers to talk about what she calls the Power of And. It all started with a surprising confrontation at work over a side project creating yoga-inspired t-shirts. What looked like a small moment became a life-changing lesson. Rebecca realized she didn't have to choose between being a successful sales leader and a creative entrepreneur. She could be both.
Our conversation explores how that simple shift unlocked some of the best years of her life. We talk about holding seemingly opposite emotions at the same time, giving yourself permission to pursue more than one passion, and why forcing yourself into someone else's formula can pull you further away from who you really are. Rebecca also shares the heartbreaking loss of her brother during the launch of her book, Return to Radiance, and how embracing both grief and joy helped her move through one of the hardest seasons of her life. If you've ever felt trapped between two choices, this conversation offers a different path. One built on expansion, acceptance, and the courage to stop shrinking yourself.
Key Takeaways:
- Why high achievers often create false either-or choices that keep them stuck.
- How embracing conflicting emotions can create more freedom and peace.
- The surprising connection between joy, creativity, and professional success.
- What happens when you stop following someone else's formula and start trusting your own path.
- How small acts of self-expression can unlock major personal and business breakthroughs.

About Rebecca:
In 2008, I blew up my life in spectacular fashion. I left a cult, got divorced, and for a time, lost even the few people I had leaned on. I thought greener grasses awaited me. I was wrong. Despite building a wildly successful digital marketing business, remarrying and growing my family to four kids, I felt nothing but dread each morning.
Then came what I now call Epiphany Town. It was that electric moment when I stopped defining my life by what happened to me and began building on purpose. That phase lit me up in a way I had never felt. Now I devote every ounce of my energy to guiding others through their own version of Epiphany Town. I help them find the barriers that are actually holding them back, finally let go of self-sabotaging stories, and leap into a life that is meaningful and deeply fulfilling.
I believe each of us has a story to tell, a gift to offer, and a life worth waking up for. Whether your goal is to impact one person or a million, I am here to help you see your place, claim your voice, and live your life on your terms.
