Rebecca Gibney is one of our most beloved and respected actors. While she’s been a permanent fixture on our big and small screens for over forty years, it's her warmth, authenticity and those sparkling eyes that really draw us in.

In this episode Rebecca shares her journey of overcoming insecurities and imposter syndrome stemming from a difficult childhood. She emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and letting go of pain and resentment. Rebecca also opens up to Jess about the significance of kindness, forgiveness, and living in the present moment, and also shares her experiences in Hollywood and an encounter with Tom Cruise she wasn't quite expecting.
