The Down and Dirty Truth of Transformation with Rachel Burr | Ep 111

The Social Chameleon Show

How to Harness Self Discipline, Humor, and Reflection for Legendary Change

Welcome to another episode of the Social Chameleon Show, where we dive into personal growth, transformation, and what it takes to live a legendary life. In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Burr—an executive coach, leadership consultant, and self-proclaimed people expert with over two decades of experience helping leaders and teams thrive.

Rachel shares her unique journey from studying clinical psychology to guiding top leaders through some of their most challenging transitions, blending sharp insight, real-world strategies, and just the right dose of humor. Together, Rachel and I explore the messy, gooey truth of personal and professional transformation: how to face fear, get unstuck, and break free from the limiting scripts we all carry in our heads.

This conversation peels back the curtain on topics such as impostor syndrome, authentic leadership, cultivating habits of self-reflection, and the vital roles of honesty and humor in personal growth. Rachel also reveals memorable stories from her path and offers actionable exercises from her new book, "Butterfly Goo: The Down and Dirty Truth of Transformation."

If you’re ready for a lively discussion full of wisdom, laughter, and practical tips for unleashing your potential—both at work and in life—this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Let's dive in!
