Hey everyone, it's me, Rebecca. I'm currently on maternity leave, and while I'm away, we picked out

some of our earlier episodes from the No Limits Vault so that you can get caught up and enjoy

while I'm off. And just so you know, I pre-recorded this, so I actually am spending time with my

baby right now. Bye.

I think you grow into a name over time. It's taken me quite some time, honestly. I'm in this position by luck. No other reason. I fell in love with Bill. He fell in love with me.

We decided to get married. Then you say, okay, if you're in this position, you have to do something

for the women that you've met. And I have met

women, so many women who feel that they are voiceless. They're voiceless in their communities,

sometimes in their families. They certainly are voiceless on the global stage. And so I just have

decided that at some point I would have to step into this name and into this role and give them

voice.

And so that's how I think about it and that's what I do, almost no matter what room I walk into these days.

From ABC, it's No Limits.

I'm Rebecca Jarvis, and each week we're talking to the most bold and influential women playing at the top of their game, trying to demystify success and what it really takes to get there.

And all the trade-offs, whether you're looking for answers or you just want to hear a good

story, you're in the right place.
