I’m Becky.

Advocate for empowerment, choice, mental health and wellbeing; longtime yoga student and teacher; proud corporate dropout; sober mama raising four teenagers.

I’m a pet lover, book hoarder, plant tender, change seeker, curator of things that smell good. Enneagram 8, anti-small talk, pro-hygge, big hugger. Midwest-born and raised. Mediocre cook, terrible (but enthusiastic!) tap dancer,
50 years old and forever figuring life out.

Mostly, though, I’m a meat-coated skeleton made of stardust – and I believe you are, too.

If there’s a question that stumps me, it’s: “What do you do for a living?” The answer was much easier in the old days when I worked in newspapers, political campaigns, and PR.

If you want an “elevator pitch,” I’ll tell you I’m an empowerment writer, teacher, and speaker, and founder of You Are Not Stuck®.

But that’s starting pretty far into the story. That’s the how I do what I do.

What lives beneath is the what, which is the way I describe my actual work: helping people identify and create the life that is calling to them.

In that way, I’m a soul whisperer. A dream doula. A change catalyst. I’m a guide into the questions for which only you have answers. Poet David Whyte refers to these inquiries as “questions that can make or unmake a life… questions that have no right to go away.” I see the divine badass in you, charm it out, and cheer it on.

The most important part of the story, though, is the why. Why is this work of empowerment what I’m called to do? The answer to that is simple:

I’ve lived a life that looked good on the outside but felt horrible on the inside.

I’ve lived a life that I didn’t feel authorized to change.

I’ve lived a life that I felt hopelessly stuck… and once I found freedom, I made it my mission to help others find it, too.

Please know this: You are not intended to spend this life squeezed and choked and squashed in a vise of Other People’s design, or values that aren’t your own, or an outdated world view; no, you were made for discernment, cultivation, and expansion.

Lines are not meant to be toed, they are meant to be moved and redrawn and colored in and erased until they suit you—and you can do that as many times as you like.

They’re your lines, after all.

Becky is no-bullshit real. She’s got an energy and warmth that’s born from her unique and relentless optimism. Yes, she’s a cheerleader. She’s a whip-cracker, too.
