Growing Small Towns, Growing Big Souls with Rebecca Undem

I reconnected with Rebecca Undem after more than a decade, and it was immediately clear we were finally ready for this conversation. I invited her in because when I think about true community leadership—women who hold moral courage, love for humanity, and a deep respect for curiosity—Rebecca is it. We went straight into the real stuff: how self-honesty becomes the doorway to self-trust, why “safe space” has to start inside our own bodies, and how answering a calling isn’t glamorous—it’s gut-level obedience to God/source, followed by work. Rebecca shared the last five years of her evolution, including the lonely parts, the therapy, and the pattern-breaking that’s reshaped her leadership and motherhood.

We dismantled the myth that you need certainty before you move. You don’t. You root yourself (sure-footed), take the next step, and let confidence be built after the leap. We talked marriages riding the shockwaves of a woman’s awakening, the sacred slog of middle seasons, and the radical freedom of soul-to-soul friendships with nothing in between. Rebecca’s “lighthouse” moments came through people and places (including her nonprofit, Growing Small Towns), revealing her conditioning—and her capacity. Her whisper to every woman leading something big and feeling unseen: you can trust yourself. Turn down the noise, listen for God’s voice, and remember—you’ve already walked through hard things. You’ll walk through this, too.

About Rebecca: Rebecca Undem has always been passionate about two things: people and talking to people. As an inspirational speaker, community advocate, and host of the podcast The Growing Small Towns Show, she’s put her gift of gab to good use.

As Founder and Executive Director of Growing Small Towns, a regional non-profit organization,

Rebecca helps the communities in southeast North Dakota be places people love to call home through programs that grow their human, social, and cultural capital.

Not one to let people down, Rebecca still lives up to her childhood label of drama queen. She binges on Netflix shows, coffee, and anything that makes her feel verklempt—her self-declared favorite feeling. Rebecca went against her youthful declarations and married a farmer, Jeremiah, and together, they have three amazing kids: Andrew, Carter, and Brynlee. They love their small town and the crazy-good life they get to live there.
