Finding freedom and healing - Becca shares how her "safe space" was making her sick, the emotional burden of letting go of all of her contaminated belongings and start from scratch, and how it gave her the strength to find freedom.

After battling mysterious health issues, I discovered mold in my living space, and the heartbreaking news that followed: nearly everything I owned was contaminated.

But what seemed like a devastating loss… turned into a profound gift. Letting go of my belongings taught me how to find safety within myself, to embrace impermanence, and to trust that what’s next can be even better.

In this episode, I share:

• ​How nervous system regulation played a key role in my healing
• ​Why losing everything led to a deeper connection to everything that matters
• ​What “freedom” means to me now
• ​And the exciting new beginnings I’m stepping into
