I’m Becky.

Mostly, though, I’m a meat-coated skeleton made of stardust – and I believe you are, too.

If there’s a question that stumps me, it’s: “What do you do for a living?” The answer was much easier in the old days when I worked in newspapers, political campaigns, and PR.

If you want an “elevator pitch,” I’ll tell you I’m an empowerment writer, teacher, and speaker, and founder of You Are Not Stuck®.

But that’s starting pretty far into the story. That’s the how I do what I do.

What lives beneath is the what, which is the way I describe my actual work: helping people identify and create the life that is calling to them.

In that way, I’m a soul whisperer. A dream doula. A change catalyst. I’m a guide into the questions for which only you have answers. Poet David Whyte refers to these inquiries as “questions that can make or unmake a life… questions that have no right to go away.” I see the divine badass in you, charm it out, and cheer it on.

The most important part of the story, though, is the why. Why is this work of empowerment what I’m called to do? The answer to that is simple:

I’ve lived a life that looked good on the outside but felt horrible on the inside.

I’ve lived a life that I didn’t feel authorized to change.

I’ve lived a life that I felt hopelessly stuck… and once I found freedom, I made it my mission to help others find it, too.

Please know this: You are not intended to spend this life squeezed and choked and squashed in a vise of Other People’s design, or values that aren’t your own, or an outdated world view; no, you were made for discernment, cultivation, and expansion.

Lines are not meant to be toed, they are meant to be moved and redrawn and colored in and erased until they suit you—and you can do that as many times as you like.

They’re your lines, after all.

A sporadic love letter from me to you with insights, happenings, homework, and the occasional kick in the pants.

For years I have followed the work of Octavia Raheem, the yoga teacher in Atlanta who's an incredible advocate for pausing and resting, particularly for women of color.

“Rest is as necessary as breath,” she writes in her first book, Gather. “Rest allows my heart to remember a slower rhythm. It retrains my cells, nervous system, blood, and muscles to trust that there can be rest for the weary. I practice restorative yoga for all of the woman within my lineage and within me who need to rest.

“Rest fuels intuition.

Rest fuels better choices.

Rest fuels breath.

Rest fuels clarity.

Rest fuels patience.

Rest fuels creativity.

Rest fuels intimacy.

Rest is an honest fuel for our real journey.”

An honest fuel for our real journey.

Yes.
