Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered what happened to the person you used to be before you started "adjusting" for everyone else? In this solo episode, Becca dives deep into the art of reclaiming the parts of ourselves lost to people-pleasing, relationships, and the "fear casting" of others.

In episode 222, Becca chats with Caroline Himbert, a PhD and mountain athlete who has traversed thousands of miles across the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), and the John Muir Trail (JMT). Caroline also made headlines in the endurance world by setting an unsupported JMT Fastest Known Time (FKT)—covering 220 miles in just 4 days, 4 hours, and 58 minutes.

Fresh off a top-50 female finish at the iconic UTMB 2024 in Chamonix, Caroline joins me to discuss her core philosophy: all things will fall into place, but you have to commit and start before you’re ready.

In this episode, I’m stepping onto the other side of the mic as a guest on the Collective Creations Podcast with Halley Sherwood. This conversation originally aired on her show, and I’m so excited to share it here with you.

Halley and I dive into my journey as a writer, podcaster, and outdoor enthusiast—from solo traveling across Europe and New Zealand to building a life rooted in creativity, community, and the outdoors. We talk about taking risks, embracing uncertainty, and what it really looks like to pursue a bold, meaningful life.

I also share how my experiences abroad led me to create The Blue Rose Podcast, connect with women in athletics and the outdoors, and eventually build a home base in Utah through the ski industry, running community events, and hosting retreats.

This was such a fun, full-circle conversation, and I’m grateful to Halley for having me on her show.

If you’re craving inspiration to take a leap, trust yourself, and create a life that feels aligned—this one’s for you.

Growth isn't always a smooth upward curve; it’s a series of momentum shifts that can feel as unsettling as they are exhilarating. In this episode, we explore the "friction" that occurs when your progress starts to challenge the status quo of your environment. We discuss how to distinguish between helpful feedback and external noise, the necessity of guarding your energy like a finite resource, and why the most important conversation you’ll ever have is the one where you decide to trust your own intuition over someone else’s opinion.

In this episode of The Blue Rose Podcast, I chat with Corina Montero, a cyclist and adventurer whose journey from Venezuela to Italy transformed her life through two wheels and a willingness to embrace the unknown.

Corina shares how stepping into cycling with no expectations — and a bit of “ignorance” — became her greatest advantage. What started as curiosity evolved into bikepacking adventures, solo travel, and a deeper exploration of what her body and mind are capable of.

We dive into:

• Why taking risks (even when you feel unprepared) can lead to incredible experiences
• Practical tips for solo bikepacking and getting started in outdoor sports
• The realities of fear, safety, and mental resilience on long solo journeys
• The power of community — especially for women in cycling
• What it means to build confidence one small step at a time

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. Start small, stay curious, and let the journey shape you.

If you don't know it exists, you don't know if it excites you.

We spend so much of our 20s feeling "unhappy" or "off-track," looking for answers in our phones or in the people we see every single day. But here’s the truth I’ve realized: You can’t think your way into a new life. You have to experience your way into one.

In this episode, I’m sharing how a "book funk" and a season of feeling like I was just "floating" led me to a massive realization: our worlds only grow as large as the things we expose ourselves to. If you’re reading the same books, talking to the same people, and staying in the same "echo chamber," you are literally blind to the thousands of other paths available to you.

We’re breaking down:

• The Power of Exposure: Why you have to put yourself in rooms, countries, and conversations that feel "not like you" just to see what sticks.

• Sifting vs. Floating: Why being "unhappy" in a situation is actually a gift—it’s data telling you exactly what you don’t want so you can find what you do.

• The Device Trap: Why looking for answers on a screen will never give you the perspective shift that a real-world experience can.

Stop waiting for "confidence" to try something new. Use your curiosity to get exposed. Let’s broaden the horizon.

Amy has learned to trust the quiet feeling that tells you when you’re no longer on the right path—and to follow where curiosity leads instead.

In this episode, Amy, co-founder of Red Desert Trail Camps and Lift & Sprint, shares how listening to her intuition led her toward a life filled with adventure, entrepreneurship, and purpose. We talk about what it looks like to pivot when life takes you in a different direction, building businesses around what you genuinely love, and why women should train for adventure—not to shrink themselves.

If you’ve ever felt pulled toward something different but weren’t sure whether to trust that feeling, this conversation is for you.

Making friends as an adult can feel surprisingly hard. In this episode we talk about how trying new things, following curiosity, and embracing a little whimsy can lead to unexpected joy, community, and new experiences. From sunrise splitboarding to a random coffee shop conversation that led to a run club, this episode explores why small acts of curiosity can change the direction of your life.

In this episode, I chat with Bri Sullivan, to explore what it really means to tinker with identity, motivation, and the many moving parts of life as an endurance athlete.

Bri opens up about the highs and lows of performance culture, the pressure to constantly improve, and the ever-present challenge of burnout.

But this isn’t just a story about running.

It is about stepping back, picking up a piece of clay, and learning how to reshape your self-worth outside of metrics, pace, and finish lines.

Bri shares how creative hobbies like pottery became essential in rediscovering joy, and why self-compassion, community, and celebrating small wins matter more than we think.

Whether you are a seasoned ultra runner or simply navigating your own path through passion and pressure, this conversation is a reminder that growth does not always look like grinding.

The Blue Rose Podcast is evolving. For a long time, I thought you were here because I was "getting after it." I realize now you’re here because we’re all trying to figure out how to live a life that actually feels like our own.

In this episode, we’re discussing the "Not Enough" gremlin that haunts high-achievers and why I’m finally letting go of the need to show off.

If you’re tired of the highlight reel and ready for the real thing, let’s dig into the seeds of my week and find out what happens when we stop proving our worth and start choosing ourselves first.
