Rebecca Pecchia is a multimedia journalist, speaker, podcast host of The Unapologetically Audacious Podcast, and the driving force behind the Aspire to Inspire movement. Fueled by fierce creativity, wellness advocacy, and the transformative power of genuine human connection, Rebecca ignites audiences to recognize their worth, unleash their potential, and live unapologetically on purpose.

Rebecca’s mission is simple: to help people see their strength, recognize their inherent value, and live lives filled with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment—simply because they exist. Serving others is not just her passion; it’s her calling and the fuel behind everything she does.

As a seasoned journalist and former anchor and reporter with CTV News, podcasts, and more, Rebecca has built a respected media career covering major events and interviewing influential figures across entertainment, sports, philanthropy, and business. 

Her diverse and impactful interviews include conversations with Mena Massoud, Disney’s breakout star from Aladdin; legendary astronaut Colonel Chris Hadfield; the iconic Harlem Globetrotters; mental health champion Mary Deacon, Chair of Bell Let’s Talk; visionary Paris Fashion Week designer Amanda Garrett; country music sensations Johnny Reid, High Valley, and Aaron Pritchett; renowned acts such as The Arkells, film critic Richard Crouse, and explorer Adam Shoalts; conservation hero Brock Cahill of Sharkwater Extinction; as well as Shark Week’s programming director and visionary entrepreneurs and CEOs who are redefining leadership and brand legacy.

Rebecca’s impact goes beyond interviews—she’s covered major national events that shape culture and community, including the World Women’s Curling Championship, Cinefest Film Festival, Stars & Thunder music festival, and the beloved CTV Lions Christmas Telethon. Her unique ability to craft authentic, soul stirring narratives empowers listeners and viewers to take inspired action.

Off camera, Rebecca is an advocate and speaker who energizes schools and communities with messages of kindness, generosity, and collective power. She believes everyone has the power to create meaningful change, no matter their age.

In 2025, Rebecca celebrates a milestone—the 10th annual Christmas Care Drive through Aspire to Inspire. What started with 100 care packages in 2016 has grown into a movement that touches lives across the GTA, Northern Ontario, and beyond. With features on CTV and “Kindness Parties” hosted by schools, families, and businesses, Aspire to Inspire continues to ignite compassion, one person, one animal, and one act of kindness at a time.

This year, Aspire to Inspire sets its sights on becoming a registered non-profit, allowing its impact to expand even further and change even more lives.

Rebecca is also launching her Inaugural Unapologetically Audacious LIVE this September 14, 2025—her inaugural live event inspired by her podcast. This transformative experience is designed for those who are ready to step into their truth, embrace their purpose, and build lives and businesses that align with their deepest values. Unapologetically Audacious LIVE is where authenticity, impact, and boldness collide. She has partnered with power house brands and speakers including Miss Universe 2023, trailblazer Rakhee Dhingra, Canadian Actress  Milcania Diaz-Rojas, and more.
