Where's the Honey?

What happens when everything is going according to plan—and suddenly, it isn't?

A young man's college dreams in another country unexpectedly fall apart, leaving his family shocked and wondering what comes next. And I recount the story of one of the worst days of my own life—a day when I walked away from a job, terrified I'd made a terrible mistake.

Looking back, that decision swiftly led me toward a teaching career, meaningful relationships, and opportunities I never could have imagined at the time ...and is still having an  impact today.

But how do we recognize the possibilities when we're still standing in the middle of something we didn't want?

In this episode, we're talking about life's unexpected detours, the power of curiosity, and why a disappointing turn of events doesn't have to mean something has gone wrong.

Sometimes the Honey doesn't become clear until much later. We don't have to see it immediately. We just have to leave room for the possibility that there's more to the story.

Also in this episode: I share my Honey Reminder Digital Collection and invite listeners to send me a voicemail for a chance to receive the collection free. I'm also inviting listeners to join me for a conversation on a future episode!

What happens when one of life’s hardest moments becomes the beginning of something you never could have imagined?

When Angela Ricketts’ five-year-old son was diagnosed with choroideremia (CHM), a rare progressive eye disease, her family’s world changed.

What began with fear, uncertainty and questions about her son’s future eventually led Angela back to something she'd done as a little girl.

In this episode of Where’s the Honey?, Angela joins Rebecca to talk about her family’s experience with progressive vision loss, the community they found along the way, and the creation of a movement that is helping to fund CHM research.

It’s a beautiful example of something we talk about often here:

Finding the Honey doesn’t mean pretending the hard thing isn’t hard. 

The Honey is what grows from it.

Angela’s story is about motherhood, hope, community, perspective—and turning an experience she never wanted into something that is now helping other people.

What do you do when something you've worked hard on suddenly hits a closed door?

Rebecca spent hours creating a new Honey Reminder Digital Collection, upgrading her website, building the shop and getting everything ready—only to receive an unexpected message:

Access denied.

The payment processor rejected the application, the website upgrade couldn't simply be reversed, and for a while it looked like a lot of time, money and effort had gone in exactly the wrong direction.

It would have been easy to stay angry and decide the whole thing was a disaster.

Instead, Rebecca did something she's learned. She walked away.

In this episode of Where's the Honey?, Rebecca shares a real-life example of what can happen when we stop feeding the story of what's going wrong, give ourselves some space, and come back willing to see possibilities we couldn't see before.

What looked like a closed door turned out to be one small detour—and will ultimately lead to something even better.

It's a reminder that Finding the Honey doesn't mean pretending you like what's happening. It simply means leaving enough room for the possibility that you don't know the whole story yet.

Plus, Rebecca shares what's coming next for Where's the Honey?, including upcoming guests, the new Honey Reminder Digital Collection, Fan Mail and ways to support the show.

What if there's honey in war?

War is something most of us don't want, understand, or know how to change. So how can we possibly find anything useful or meaningful in it?

In this episode, Rebecca explores war through the lens of Honey in Everything—looking at contrast, perspective, trust, personal power, and the bigger picture we may not be able to initially see from our human vantage point.

Rather than focusing our energy on what we don't want, what happens when we begin imagining and giving our attention to what we do want?

Rebecca shares why she believes our true power is not in anger or fighting, but in trust, and why tending to our own "frequency" may be one of the most important ways we can contribute to the world.

Because even when we don't like what we're seeing...

there's still honey somewhere in it.

In this episode of Where's the Honey?, Rebecca shares her personal experiences as the grandmother of a child on the autism spectrum and offers a spiritual perspective on what these extraordinary children may be teaching all of us.

Rather than seeing autism only through the lens of difficulty, Rebecca explores the possibility that these souls are expanding our understanding of intelligence, communication, compassion, freedom, and what it truly means to be human.

Through heartfelt stories, practical examples, and hopeful insights, she asks an important question:

What if the honey isn't found by trying to make people fit our expectations—but by allowing them to show us a bigger picture?

This episode explores topics such as:

• Looking beyond labels
• The hidden strengths within autism
• Why freedom and understanding matter
• Learning to choose connection over control
• Discovering the honey in life's biggest challenges

This episode reflects Rebecca's personal spiritual perspective and experiences. Whether or not you share those beliefs, her hope is that you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for the uniqueness, value, and potential within every person.

Because there is honey in everyone.

Stay sweet.

What if the people who challenge us the most are actually helping us become who we came here to be? 

In this episode of Where's the Honey?, Rebecca shares the surprising lessons she learned from years of navigating a difficult relationship with her former mother-in-law. Through honest stories, humor, and spiritual insight, she explores why life's "button pushers" may be some of our greatest teachers.

Instead of asking, "Why is this person in my life?" Rebecca asks a different question:

Where's the honey?

You'll discover how difficult relationships can strengthen your boundaries, soften your heart, and reveal hidden wisdom you may never have found otherwise. Whether you're dealing with a challenging family member, coworker, friend, or anyone who regularly tests your patience, this episode offers a fresh perspective that can bring more peace—and maybe even appreciation—to those relationships.

You'll learn:
• Why difficult people often reveal our greatest opportunities for growth
• To stop giving others access to your emotional buttons
• Why everyone's behavior has a deeper story behind it
• How changing your expectations before an interaction can change the outcome
• How to find the "honey" hidden inside life's most challenging relationships

Because even difficult people may have something sweet to teach us.

Stay sweet.

The passing of someone you love changes you.

Whether the passing is recent or years old, grief has a way of raising questions that don't always have easy answers. It can leave us searching for comfort, meaning, and a way to keep moving forward while honoring the love we still carry.

In this episode of Where's the Honey?, we explore one of life's most tender experiences. Together, we'll look beyond the pain—not to invalidate it, but to gently look for the honey that every experience holds, even grief. 

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Finding comfort without rushing the grieving process
• Seeing love as something that continues beyond physical presence
• How asking, "Where's the honey?" can help bring moments of peace during life's biggest changes

If you've experienced the passing of a person or pet dear to you, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone—and that even in grief, there can be moments of light worth noticing.

Do you sometimes feel like hard stuff keeps showing up in your life?

Different situations. Different people.
But somehow… that same feeling.

After a while, it starts to feel personal. Like life is working against you. Like no matter what you do, you just can't catch a break.

But what if these repeating experiences aren’t punishment?

What if they’re part of life's feedback?

In this episode of Where’s the Honey?, we explore how recurring challenges may actually be trying to show you something important—something you haven’t fully seen, understood, or healed yet.

Inside this episode:

• Why painful patterns tend to repeat
• The hidden purpose behind recurring life challenges
• How to shift from frustration to curiosity
• A gentler, more empowering way to understand what keeps happening

The hardest things in life are not there to break you.

They’re there to wake you up to something deeper.

And interestingly… the honey is hidden inside the pattern itself.

So instead of asking, “Why does this keep happening to me?”

Try asking:

“What might this be trying to show me?”

The honey isn’t in avoiding hard things.

It’s in finally understanding them.

🍯 When Nothing Feels Good

What do you do when nothing feels good?

Not even necessarily terrible or bad.
Just… heavy. Flat. Numb. Disconnected.

The kind of feeling that’s hard to explain—and seems even harder to move through.

In this episode of Where’s the Honey?, we explore those quiet emotional seasons where joy feels distant, motivation disappears, and even the things that are supposed to help don’t seem to reach you.

Instead of forcing positivity or trying to “fix” yourself, this episode offers a gentler perspective:
What if this feeling isn’t meaningless? Or bad?

What if there’s honey here too?

Inside this episode:

• Why emotional numbness becomes a thing
• The hidden value behind feeling “nothing”
• How to stop fighting yourself in times that feel hard
• A softer way to begin feeling relief again

You don’t have to feel great right away.

You don’t even need all the answers.

Sometimes the honey is simply finding one small moment that feels a little less heavy than the one before.

That’s enough to begin. Here's how.

What if the question you’ve been asking is the very thing keeping you stuck?

When life feels confusing, painful, disappointing, or overwhelming, most of us instinctively ask:
“Why is this happening?”

But what if there’s a better question?

In this episode of Where’s the Honey?, we explore the meaning behind the phrase that inspired this entire podcast—and how learning to look for “the honey” can completely shift the way you experience your life.

Because this isn’t about pretending hard things are easy.

It’s the hidden insight.
The unexpected growth.
The truth, clarity, healing, or perspective that may exist beneath the surface of what feels difficult right now.

Inside this episode:

• Why we naturally focus on what’s wrong
• How we drown out inner guidance
• The difference between arguing to get what you want & inviting it
• How you can 'fog up' your journey forward

You don’t need to have everything figured out.

Sometimes finding even one small drop of honey is enough to begin.

So… where’s the honey in this for you?
