In this "Get to Know Becca" episode, the tables are turned as Becca steps out of the host's chair and into the guest's spotlight! Joined by her friend and fellow adventurer Julia Richter, Becca opens up about her journey.

It wasn’t until I landed in a place that felt like home that it became clear that a new path was unfolding —

Recently I hit a year mark of staying in one place, after years of bouncing around. I am struck that I was able to do it. Now, surrounded by people I love & the energy that stability has given me, I see clearly the comfort I have allowed myself to feel. 

I used to think to think that comfort was a bad thing. I used to think that if I wasn’t meeting new people & experiencing new things all the time I wasn’t living. I realize now, that was just a different type of living. As I become more conscious of this thought I still struggle with the urge to disrupt. disrupt. disrupt. There’s so much to be said about the need to create chaos when life feels good — especially when you live in constant chaos for so long. 

When I think of why I feel this way I see the profound impact that discomfort has left in my life. In discomfort, I have seen, done & experienced. But maybe choosing comfort over the urge to disrupt is the uncomfortable choice here. Choosing to sit in the beauty of everyday life with familiar faces & places — making it easier to stay grounded in my goals & visions. 

But recently, I haven’t felt the most connected to myself. I feel distant from the parts of myself that have shown up during times I have been elated by the world. Is it possible that even more parts of myself will be revealed? Parts that couldn’t come out during constant periods of stress & chaos?

I don’t know the answer. But if I know I have a consent impulse to feel alive. I am learning the art of intentionality over impulse & challenging myself to ask “why?” -- to be curious every time I feel the urge to disrupt. disrupt. disrupt. 

More on this to come, but for now I leave you with a podcast about the urge to disrupt. 

In this episode, Becca sits down with Sarah Edwards, also known as Eddie. As a passionate mountain biker, she opens up about the challenges of getting into the sport, from overcoming barriers to entry to finding mentorship in bike mechanics. Together, Sarah and Becca dive into the importance of creating supportive and inclusive spaces for women in the male-dominated cycling world. From learning curves to biking mishaps, they discuss how asking questions, building a strong support system, and following your passions can lead to confidence and growth, both on and off the bike.

In this episode, I sit down with Khai Bhagwandin, an acupuncturist, passionate snowboarder, and dedicated activist. As a woman of color in the snowboarding world, Khai candidly discusses the challenges of representation, tokenism, and navigating white-dominated spaces. She opens up about her involvement in the Change Collective, a grassroots organization supporting athletes of color, and highlights the importance of building inclusive communities in the outdoors. 

I’ve been thinking about the concept of leaving, but also analyzing what makes us stay in situations that don’t make us feel…

Maybe it’s shame? guilt? fear? comfort?
Im not sure. But I still do this & it doesn’t make me feel good or aligned with who I am. So this week’s episode is a reminder that we are grown adults & we have the ability to leave situations that don’t make us feel…
