The Empowered Woman Podcast

Becca Pearce joins The Empowered Woman Podcast for a thoughtful conversation about identity, loss, and redefining success on more honest terms. A former CEO and executive coach, Becca reflects on her rise to becoming the nation’s first Health Benefit Exchange CEO—and the very public career loss that followed just two years later. What came next was an even deeper reckoning: a brain tumor diagnosis that forced her to slow down, heal, and confront who she was without titles, momentum, or achievement to rely on.

In this episode, Becca shares how recovery reshaped her priorities and clarified what matters most—presence, purpose, and living in alignment with her values. She discusses the four phases of her Pearce Change Model™ and how blending strategic thinking with emotional truth allows people to navigate transition without abandoning financial responsibility or personal integrity.

This conversation is for anyone questioning long-held definitions of success or standing at the edge of change. It offers a steady reminder that fulfillment doesn’t come from striving harder—but from living more fully as who you already are.
