Better with Becky

Birthdays with Becky

Listen Later

Welcome back to the show! Today I’m reflecting on birthdays and the stories we have around them!

Some topics and themes that I explore on today's episode:

  • sharing my early childhood experiences around birthdays and holidays with my family of origin
  • highlighting my shift this year around my birthday, and choosing to start to rewrite my story
  • touching on themes of self-love and self-compassion, along with the importance of knowing, allowing, and articulating our wants and needs (as opposed to expecting others to read our minds)
    • Resources Mentioned in this Episode
    • Previous Episodes of Better with Becky
    • Beckygram Post on "Walking Backwards Into the Future"
    • Book Recommendation: Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

      • Curious Questions for Reflection from Today's Episode

      • When was the last time you put your own needs or wants at the center of a special day?
      • How might your celebrations change if you let self-compassion and curiosity guide you?
      • What story from your past are you ready to rewrite, and what bold first step can you take?

        • How to keep in touch with me

        • The current Build with Becky Program, Drive+Thrive is an open invitation to explore self-love actively: what could be more empowering than leaning into seeing just how strong you are, inside and out? This 5/3/1 Max Strength phase invites you to safely explore and test your strength in all major movement patterns: squat/hinge/push/pull, with plenty of alternatives and entry points for all levels and preferences!
