Trailblazing Growth

Rebekah Zimmermanwww.trailblazersgrowth.com
Attorney turned executive life and leadership coach, Rebekah Zimmerman, brings you a mix of solo episodes and conversations with fellow trailblazers on leadership, personal growth, innovation, going after what you want rather than waiting for it to arrive, and forging your own foggy path in the face of fear and doubt. This is for you if you’re a top performer, a visionary, a leader, or someone seeking transformational personal development and wants to move past their status quo from who they’re currently being and who they can be. This is about prevailing. This is about building mindset. This is about being a mold breaker. This is about change-makers who built something from nothing. And, this is about having a blast with life while living in your greatness. Together, we’ll have daring dialogue that empowers you to show up as your whole-hearted, authentic self and step-by-step let go of the rules that you were given and instead create the life you want. This podcast will NOT give you change—as that requires daily practice that you self-initiate. Rather, this podcast will open the doors to a newfound awareness in yourself, showcase what it looks like to foster courage and bravery, and empower you to remove your (metaphoric) mask and step into your power, living a fulfilling, shame-free life. You’ll see Rebekah’s essence of innovation, magnetism, depth, brilliance, and warmth shine bright as she speaks to limits to limitless, society’s boundaries to boundless opportunities, grit, throwing the rule book out, being courageously vulnerable, and being authentically you.

Are You Abandoning Yourself So They Feel Peace?

“If I express myself fully, then it’ll likely cause my loved one to feel [embarrassed/anger/etc.] . . . so I better not say or do that thing. I better be a good girl/boy.” How familiar. How bizarre. What this creates? Performing your way through life instead of being yourself as a confident, empowered, self-assured person. It’s unfortunately very common for folks to feel good only if their spouse/child/business partner/employee behaves “appropriately.” If this other person is not behaving under ...

The Devastation To Self-Worth After Taking Things Personal

In this episode, I dive into how interpretations can crumble your self-worth—which then devastates your self-confidence and manifests into tangible things like not taking risks, keeping yourself small, controlling how your kid behaves, etc. I invite areas to start noticing where you’re taking things personal and how to practice detaching your self-worth from these things.

Blurriness of Boundaries

Boundaries—something we often hear about and “know” we “should” have them. But what is a boundary, really? Are you really creating a boundary—or are you merely being suggestive? How do you know if you “need” a boundary? What’s holding your back from stating your true desires? Why do you feel like crap when trying to stand for a boundary? Boundaries take practice, and in this episode, I invite you to dive inward to discover where and what boundary building blocks to construct. To register for my ...

Rocking the Boat

Rocking the boat . . . just a clever way of saying “Hey, don’t do that thing you want to do because you might upset some people.” What if what you really desire has a potentional to upset some other people. What do you choose? Do you shift your commitment away from your wants/needs and towards avoiding conflict, making “them” happy, protecting against the unknown (or some would claim, the foreseeable)? What would you get to experience if you let go of the shoulds and fear of judgment and intenti...

Using Your Fear As A Tool For Others & Your Own Imposter Syndrome

Fear. There are so many. . . Fear of looking dumb. Fear of looking afraid. Fear that others will conclude you shouldn’t be here. Fear of being insignificant or powerless.

Addressing the Elephant in the Room

In this episode, I dive into what the elephant looks and feels like, what happens if it doesn’t get addressed, and how to practice addressing what you see. Addressing what’s in the space . . it’s risky as you don’t know what mess will ensue, how others will react, if you’ll be heard, “will they stop liking me after this?” and a whole list of other unknowns bouncing around in your head before choosing into the uncomfortable, bold thing. Addressing the elephant is intentionally causing a potential...

Reframing Hypocrisy & Rejection with Coach Kelly Shaw

In this episode, I share a conversation I had with my colleague and former global casino technology executive from Las Vegas, Kelly Shaw, on rejection, hypocrisy, fear of “what will they think?”, reinvention, and the practice of reframing paradigms. The conversation is raw. It’s unvarnished. It’s vulnerable. We share about our experiences of opening the doors of things we’ve been avoiding in our own leadership and how that has allowed us to shed off armor, judgments, and has opened up our abilit...

Being Attached To How Things “Should” Go

This episode dives into who you are while you handle mistakes in a post-COVID world full of inevitable delays and mishaps.

I explore what it looks like when you’re swinging on the pendulum between being attached to how others “should behave” to swinging to being resigned as a doormat. I speak to what happens when you’re attached to a “righ...

Removing Your Mask & Being Authentic

Through life, the world has trained you to disown your uncomfortable qualities such as control, sensitivity, or laziness because when you innocently showcased them in your past, you’ve experienced judgment causing you to feel like you’re not enough or you’re too much. To avoid that awful feeling of being too much or not enough, you mask more and more of your human qualities so you can be likeable, be valued, be seen as successful, or to mask whatever qualities you label as “bad.” From all the sh...
