Episode Summary:

Ever feel like your business path doesn’t make sense on paper — but you know deep down it’s exactly where you're meant to be?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Becky Nieves — also known as Becky the Cycle Breaker — a coach for high-achieving moms healing from narcissistic parenting. Becky shares her honest journey from a traditional career path and unexpected stay-at-home motherhood to entrepreneurship, burnout, and finally, a coaching business built with purpose and alignment.

This episode is especially for the woman who’s been doing all the “right” things but still feels stuck — in a business she doesn’t love, a role she didn’t choose, or a life that’s not lighting her up.

You’ll hear real talk about pivoting, people-pleasing, motherhood, and what it actually takes to build a life-first business when you’re holding space for everyone else.

Your life’s work should reflect you — not just what you’ve been through, but what you're building toward. Let’s grow and flourish together. 💛

What You’ll Learn

✅ How Becky turned a painful past into purposeful work
✅ What to do when your degree or past experience doesn’t align with your next move
✅ Why some women stay stuck in businesses that no longer serve them
✅ What it really looks like to heal while growing a business
✅ The difference between surviving entrepreneurship and truly thriving

Key Takeaway

“You can’t build a life-giving business on top of someone else’s expectations. When you trust your own voice — that’s when the shift happens.” — Becky Nieves

Action Step

Take 10 quiet minutes this week — no distractions, no noise — and ask yourself:
 “Is this the business I want to be building… or the one I thought I had to build?”

Let that truth lead your next step.
