EP 100: Celebrating 100 Episodes: Behind...

Rebecca Ching, LMFT
About this episode

Have you ever done something steadily, week in and week out, for a period of time?


What did you learn about yourself and the world around you in the process? Was there anything that came up that surprised you?


Putting in consistent reps and hundreds of hours towards something inevitably shapes and changes you, and producing this show has been no different for me.


Today I’m celebrating the 100th episode of The Unburdened Leader by sharing some behind-the-scenes stories, learnings, and reflections from starting a podcast in a pandemic to the pillars and themes of the show that have stood out over time.


Listen to the full episode to hear:

  • How unburdened leaders shape healing and growth through vulnerability and a willingness to be uncomfortable
  • How wrestling with perfectionism in the beginning has eased into taking actual pleasure in the process of working on the show
  • The positive impact of finding certainty anchors in the rhythms of production
  • How good questions beget good questions, and how that guides who I want to have on the show
