Still Becoming

In this episode of Still Becoming, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the growth that can be easy to overlook when we’re so focused on everything we still want to change. From becoming more honest with ourselves to recognizing what drains us, setting boundaries, and learning to make room for our own needs, we’ll explore what it means to grow without expecting ourselves to have everything figured out.

How do we take accountability, show compassion, and honor others’ feelings without abandoning ourselves? Let’s talk about giving grace to others—and learning to give some to ourselves, too.

In this episode, Ricki discusses finding joy in unexpected places.

Ricki has a conversation with Emma Bader about being your most authentic self in your 20s vs. your 30s.

Growth doesn’t mean we have everything figured out. Sometimes growth looks like learning, unlearning, and discovering who we are becoming. In this episode of Still Becoming, we reflect on the lessons we’re still learning — choosing peace, setting boundaries, trusting joy, caring for ourselves, and remembering that our worth was never something we had to earn.

This summer, I thought I was looking for adventure—but I ended up finding something much more meaningful: myself. In this episode of Still Becoming, I reflect on the little moments that made this summer special, from slow mornings and time with my animals to creativity, whimsy, and learning to enjoy my own time. Maybe the best adventures aren’t the ones that take us somewhere new, but the ones that help us feel more present in the life we already have.

Gratitude doesn’t mean everything is perfect. Sometimes, it simply means noticing the beautiful things that exist alongside the hard ones. In this episode of Still Becoming, I’m reflecting on three things I’m especially grateful for this summer: the people who make me feel loved and connected, the animals who make my life fuller, and the opportunity to keep growing, healing, and becoming. Because even in difficult seasons, there are still moments worth noticing—and being grateful for.

Three playful goals for the rest of summer that have nothing to do with productivity. From collecting tiny joys to making memories with our pets and rediscovering who we are, this episode is an invitation to slow down, have a little fun, and remember that we don’t have to accomplish everything to make a season meaningful.

In this episode of Still Becoming, we’re exploring the little moments that bring us joy, laughter, and a sense of who we truly are. From the people we love and the animals who make us smile, to quiet rituals, creativity, and everyday moments of magic, we’ll reflect on how joy often lives in the simplest places.

Because becoming ourselves isn’t about finding a perfect version of who we’re supposed to be — it’s about remembering what makes us feel alive.

You’re still becoming… and that is enough.

What if you’re not lost… you’re just still becoming?

In this episode of Still Becoming, we’re talking about how to discover what lights you up when you feel unsure of what comes next. We’ll explore why finding your passion isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about curiosity, taking chances, and learning to trust yourself again.

I’m sharing my own journey of following unexpected paths, from becoming a teacher in ways I never imagined, to starting a blog and podcast, to realizing that sometimes the things we try (and the things we leave behind) are all part of discovering who we’re meant to be.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your direction, or wondered what you’re supposed to do next, this episode is for you.
