What are your superpowers? Rebecca Saunders joined the greatness podcast to discuss her work in creating a global network of women business owners to feel connected and supported. Rebecca's personal experience as someone with alopecia who spent years covering this up versus owning herself inspires her work. She is bald and beautiful! As she says, "Be you, don't overthink it"! Most of us bow to societal pressures to conform in some way. Living the authentic versions of ourselves, "unleashing ourselves into the world", that is the magic.

Episode 100! I can’t quite believe it, but here we are, two years, 100 episodes, some incredible chats with some beautiful business women, all proud to stand in their definition of success, all with an interesting startup story and all prepared to offer you, my amazing listeners, their sage advice.

Get in touch with Rebecca via Instagram or on the website.

Magdaleen Kelly  - aka Mags is a trusted friend and truly one of the good humans. Mags has an incredible bookkeeping and compliance business specialising in Xero solutions for small business; she’s one of those tech, puzzle solving gurus we all need on our team. Need a Xero health check, Aquavantage is the place to go.
