#268 Rebecca Sutherns: Building a Life That Flexes—Not Breaks — Part Two


Listen Later

In Part 2, the focus shifts to how Rebecca helps others through turning points—especially people who are accomplished, capable, and a little too comfortable. She challenges leaders to imagine the future before chasing it, unpacks how midlife isn’t a crisis but a creative window, and talks through what momentum really looks like when you’re not sure what to do next.

Draw the Future – “You can’t walk toward what you haven’t pictured.” Why strategy starts with sketching, not spreadsheets.

Elastic Leadership – A stretched mind stays strong. A stuck one snaps. How to find your own tension point—and work with it.

Rebecca's book: Elastic - Stretch without snapping or snapping back

Midlife Isn’t the End of the Book – It might be the best chapter. Rebecca reframes age as a lever, not a limitation.

Momentum Beats Motivation – Motivation is moody. Momentum is movement. Here’s how to find it again.

Parenting, Coaching & Boundaries – Why coaching your kids is a terrible idea—but letting them crash your book club isn’t.

This isn’t an episode about reinvention theory. It’s about what to do when you’ve stopped moving—and how to start again, without blowing everything up.
