Rebecca Kordecki is a life and relationship coach, breathwork facilitator, and motivational speaker who has spent more than 30 years helping people transform their lives — first from the outside in, and now from the inside out.

A former celebrity fitness trainer and wellness expert, Rebecca built a successful career training Hollywood A-listers, professional athletes, and high performers, helping them build physical strength and mental resilience. But over time, she realized that true transformation doesn’t begin in the body — it begins in the heart.

Today, through her signature SOAR Method and transformational programs like Reclaim Your Heart and Boss of Your Happy Bootcamp, Rebecca helps people heal heartbreak, regulate their emotions, and reclaim their self-worth. She’s been featured in Forbes, Shape, Women’s Health, and The Today Show, and is known for her bold, no-BS coaching style grounded in deep compassion and authenticity.

On this episode of Breaking Through, Rebecca shares how heartbreak became her greatest teacher, why emotional freedom is the new success, and what it truly means to age like a boss and live unapologetically free.

This weeks guest is someone you’ve quite literally grown up watching — actor, host, husband, and father — Jerry O’Connell.

From his unforgettable breakout role in Stand by Me to starring in hit shows like Sliders and Crossing Jordan, Jerry has spent decades in Hollywood mastering the art of reinvention. Most recently, he co-hosted The Talk on CBS, bringing humor, honesty, and heart to daytime television.

But beyond the spotlight, Jerry is a devoted husband to actress Rebecca Romijn and a proud father of twin daughters. His journey is one of evolution — from child actor to thoughtful, grounded family man — and a reminder that true success isn’t about fame, but about growth, gratitude, and staying real in a world that often isn’t.

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Regine Muradian to talk about the real challenges families face as kids head back to school. From managing anxiety and supporting children with big emotions, to handling sibling comparisons and learning the right ways to praise, Dr. Muradian offers practical guidance every parent can use.

We also dive into deeper conversations around co-parenting after divorce, navigating different parenting styles, and understanding the warning signs of depression and suicide in adolescents. Plus, we explore how to set healthy boundaries with extracurricular activities and why moms often feel so burned out in the process.

This conversation is honest, compassionate, and packed with tools to help parents and caregivers raise resilient, emotionally healthy kids—while also taking care of themselves.
