The New Year often comes with pressure to reinvent yourself, set big goals, and have everything figured out, but what if you’re exhausted instead?
In this episode, Becca chats about the emotional weight that can come with the New Year, sharing honest reflections on burnout, comparison, uncertainty, and mental health. She challenges the idea that January must come with clarity or motivation and reminds us that self-compassion matters more than productivity.
This conversation explores why it’s okay to feel disconnected, why uncertainty isn’t weakness, and how personal growth doesn’t follow a calendar. Becca encourages listeners to honor their own timelines, release comparison, and take a softer, more intentional approach to goals whenever they’re ready.
If you’re struggling with New Year pressure, goal anxiety, or feeling behind, this episode is a reminder that your journey is your own.
What if one bold decision could define your entire year?

Kevin’s Rule and the power of mini adventures
Building sustainable habits without burnout
Balancing structure with spontaneity

I have a big dream of hosting a full weekend-long run retreat — mountain views, movement, connection, the whole thing. But this year? I didn’t have the means, the time, or the space to make it happen.
I almost let that stop me… until I asked myself: What if I just started smaller?
In this episode, I’m sharing how I turned that big dream into something bite-sized — a simple morning in the mountains with running, yoga, coffee, and homemade pastries. It wasn’t fancy, but it was real, and it reminded me what can happen when you stop waiting for perfect conditions and just begin.
If you’ve ever felt like your dream is too big, too far away, or too “not yet” — this one’s for you.

Dreams… I have dreams.. & this episode is all about dreams. How to dream big in a world that tells us to dream small. I’ve done a lot of experimenting in my 20s— I’ve traveled, became a barista, tried acting, worked on a farm, started ultra running…and the list goes on. Recently I’ve been thinking about how many dreams I still have — to run across America, live in Europe again, own a business… and the list goes on. But sometimes it feels like the world isn’t built for dreams. I think everyone should dream. I think everyone should be passionate & excited & take risks & try new things.
So… how do we keep our dreams alive in a world that tells us to be “realistic”?
That’s what I’m diving into this week.
