Joining Yuliana today is Rebecca Babcock, CPC, ELI-MP, CLDS. A career and executive leadership coach, Rebecca has an advanced degree in Human and Organizational Development and Group Dynamics from Vanderbilt University and over 20 years experience as a Sales and Marketing Executive at global blue chip companies and tech startups including Conde Nast (VOGUE, GQ, LUCKY and Glamour), eBay, Taboola and Shutterstock. Her phoenix tale, which she shares here today, revolves around her battle with an autoimmune disease from her teenage years on, and how she has persevered and thrived despite the significant impact this illness has had upon her life and career.
Rebecca begins by sharing the event that redirected the course of her life - her diagnosis with ulcerative colitis. She shares how she refused to let the illness define her and decided to face the illness head-on. Rebecca goes on to discuss how the illness impacted her life, the surgeries she had to undergo, the emotional toll her illness has taken, and how she quit her corporate job and launched a new career. As you will hear, Rebecca’s story is truly one of immense courage and bravery. The episode comes to a close as Rebecca shares the one song that best describes her life - 'Dancing In The Moonlight', because “life gets 'lifey', so sometimes you just need to dance.”

“Until you face adversity, you're not quite sure how you'll respond. And that's the gift of being diagnosed at 16. I had adversity just in my back pocket when I woke up in the morning.”
“The last thing I felt like really was sort of breaking my spirit completely was accepting the fact that I, I'm probably not going to have children.”
