In this powerful conversation, Becky sits down with Marine Corps veteran and relational health coach Becca Spahr to explore an often overlooked pillar of leadership and well-being: social wellness.

After 20 years leading Marines in combat, Becca now teaches veterans, professionals, and leaders how to build belonging, strengthen friendships, and cultivate meaningful connection. Together, Becky and Becca unpack why connection is not optional for sustainable leadership and how neglecting it can quietly erode both personal fulfillment and professional longevity.

You’ll hear a deep dive into:

• What social wellness actually means and why research now places it alongside physical and mental health as a core pillar of overall well-being 
• The “friendship dip” many women experience from their late 20s into midlife and how it affects senior leaders
• How loneliness and isolation can show up subtly in high-achieving women
• Why connection is a leadership skill that directly impacts retention, performance, and sustainability 
• The difference between being interested and taking an interest in someone
• Practical strategies for building meaningful connection, even if you consider yourself introverted
• How to maintain professional boundaries while still creating relational trust at work
• The role of social media and virtual relationships in today’s connection landscape

If you are a woman leading a team, managing competing priorities, or navigating senior leadership in a male-dominated space, this episode offers practical tools and grounded insight to help you cultivate connection without compromising professionalism.

Because sustainable leadership depends on more than strategy. It depends on belonging.
