July 28, 2025 How do I approach time and money seasonally? A conversation on adaptability with Lauren Gerber-Fleury #102
In this episode, I’m joined by Lauren Gerber-Fleury, financial coach, longtime hospitality worker, and Holistic Time Practitioner who shares what it’s meant to approach both money and time through the lens of seasonal self-trust.

July 16, 2025 What time management exercises should we stop giving our clients? #098
In this episode, Becca breaks down why mainstream time hacks aren’t neutral, and often do more harm than good.

From time blocking to the Pomodoro method, these tools were born in systems of colonization, industrial control, and enslavement. And while they may seem harmless or helpful, they teach us to override our bodies, punish our rhythms, and measure our worth by output.

This is an invitation to become more conscious of the tools we pass on so we stop replicating the very systems our clients are trying to heal from.

We can do better. We can hold time differently.
