158. Why You Don’t Need a Job Title to Be a Leader w/ Becky @beckyschmooke
Update: 2025-06-26
Description
You don’t have to be at the summit to start leading. In this episode, I sit down with author and leadership coach Becky Schmooke to talk about healing, self-leadership, and what it really means to take control of your life. Becky shares her 20+ year journey with an eating disorder and how her recovery—alongside her work in Stoic philosophy—inspired her to write Choose the Handle That Holds. We talk about redefining leadership (hint: it’s not a job title), communicating clearly with your team and loved ones, and choosing the harder, healthier path—especially when it's uncomfortable. Whether you’re managing a team, navigating recovery, or just trying to show up more fully in your life, this episode will leave you thinking deeply—and laughing just as much.
Tune in to hear:
- Becky's eating disorder journey and how it shaped her leadership work
- The Stoic philosophy that helped her finally recover during COVID
- How to choose the “handle that holds” when life feels out of control
- The leadership myths that keep entrepreneurs stuck
- Tools for communicating better with your team, your partner, and yourself
