In this episode of The Impact Room, host Michelle Ansell, Managing Partner at Douglas Jackson, welcomes Becca Meadows — ex-Sandhurst Leadership Instructor, British Army Officer, and founder of She Thrives, a women’s health and leadership consultancy.

Becca reveals why so many leaders get resilience wrong, unpacking the harsh lessons from her time as a senior officer and principal advisor for UK Defence and NATO. She explains why true resilient leadership demands more than self-sacrifice and how ignoring wellbeing quietly erodes performance at the top.

Becca’s unique blend of military leadership, coaching expertise, and passion for nutrition and lifestyle medicine offers powerful, practical takeaways for any leader wanting to perform at their peak without burning out.

Key quote:

“Resilience isn’t a badge you’re born with — it’s a muscle you train, and if you neglect it, it will weaken.”

This is essential listening for forward-thinking employers, CEOs, HR Directors and aspiring resilient leaders across sectors.
