So excited!

I love Becca’s content and working with her as a coach. She is relatable, honest, and encouraging. I’m eager to get the most out of her content, because I’m always learning something new about being a mom and creating a new career that fits within that most important role.

Lindsay Mahoney ,

Finally! A podcast I’ve needed for so long!

I am so excited to listen to this podcast. I myself struggle with my own identity crisis, being ‘mom’ and losing my sense of self and what I want to do “when I grow up”. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked myself what the heck I should be doing with my life. I feel this podcast will help me uncover just that, and help me on the path to who I really am as a person, not just a mom. I feel it will help me to find my ultimate career / career goals as well, whatever that might be. Thank you for making this podcast!
