Ronei Harden Releases Emotional Responsibility

This week I get to bring you another graduation call with my client and dear friend, Ronei Harden-Moroney. Ronei is a writer, educator, and editor. We met in 2013 in a Facebook group started by author Jon Acuff, and she has become like a sister to me.  So when I saw her struggling to return to her badass self following some significant medical battles, I had to say something and offer my services.  I can hardly wait for you to hear Ronei's story!

Becky Feels Something in 2021

I've come up with a new way to set New Year's Resolutions that feels much more supportive to me.

Isabel Hundt Helps Us Get Emotionally Healthy (a rerun from 2018)

Thank you for indulging me this week, as I've come down with laryngitis--not a great sound for a podcaster, but here we are. So I combed through the archives and unearthed this interview with Isabel Hundt from March of 2018. Isabel is a sociologist, speaker, certified transformation coach, emotions clearing practitioner and visionary who lives in a world of endless possibilities. I figured we could all use a little Isabel right about now, as we slide on toward the end of the most globally ...

Becky Takes Out The Trash

Over the past few weeks the subject of "taking out the trash" has sort of taken over my inbox. It is hands down the most effective tool I use in my coaching practice when I first start working with a client. So I'm turning "Taking Out The Trash" into a course for anyone who doesn't have the time yet to devote to working with me one-on-one. This week's podcast episode is a preview of the course and an overview of how we take out the trash to make way for what is coming in for us.  If you'...

Cha Barefield Gets Pre-emptively Comfortable

This week on the podcast I have the privilege of sharing another graduation call with one of my clients, Cha Barefield.   But before I pull back the curtain on Cha's transformation, I want to remind you that as we near the end of 2020, the time is right to clear out the energetic trash from this year and set intentions for the new. Using the mantra of the labyrinth as a guide (release, receive, return), I work with clients one-on-one to release the habits, thought patterns, and relations...

Rerun: Unintentional Mentors with Chef Travis Milton

Because I've been away on a personal retreat, I've decided to rerun an episode from earlier this year. This week on the podcast chef Travis Milton and I talk about unintentional mentors -- you know, those people who are motivational for NONE of the reasons they think they are!   Travis Milton is the executive chef at Taste, a restaurant at Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards. Whether he’s waxing poetic about bean varieties, quoting The Golden Girls, or putting the finishing touches on the dry-ag...

From Seed to Sale with Cannabis Entrepreneur Shanna Berry

It's been a long road for realtor Shanna Berry to open Dharma Pharmaceuticals, the first medical cannabis dispensary in Virginia. This week we talk about how she got here, you get to hear my dorky ignorance on full display, and Shanna gets to the heart of what it means to react, adapt, and persevere.  Links: Dharma Pharmaceuticals website: https://www.dharmacann.com/   Application to work with me: https://forms.gle/7FcFxCFBQE6cpDVg8 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com...

Time for Cosmic Releasing

This week's episode is inspired by an oracle card pull I did in the middle of the night on Halloween during the height of the full moon. The cards inspired me to talk about five things that might be helpful for our community to release this week, so that we can make room for what will truly serve us.  If you like this episode, drop me a comment or message me on Instagram, and I'll do more of them.  And if you're releasing one of these things, let me know how it goes for you!  Applicati...

How Putting Yourself First Helps You Better Serve Others

This week on the podcast, we get to hear snippets from a recent client graduation call. One of the biggest lessons that my client, Liz, learned was that when she made sure she had everything she needed, she was better able to serve her own clients, her family, and her community.  I am so proud of the work we did together and of how far Liz has come. My hope in sharing this with you is that you will be able to see what coaching can do for you--whether you work with me or not.  The great...

This week improviser, teacher, and corporate trainer Joe Bill steps into the Labyrinth. We have a wonderfully rambling conversation about the shitty buddhists, our mutual oxytocin deficit, and the neurobiology of improvisation.  Listen to a couple of improv nerds discuss the global existential crisis (and how we're all gonna be OK).

Storytime: 24 Hours With a Wild Blue Jay

A couple of months ago something extraordinary happened to me. Like, Disney Princess extraordinary.

Dewey is an entrepreneur and a barnstorming pilot. Dewey caught my attention recently when he posted a series of YouTube videos about his experience having COVID-19.

Summer Rerun: Lessons from 20 Years of Festival Producing

On March 15, 2019 I celebrated my 20 year anniversary in festival producing. This year's March 15th was spent in quarantine, and all festivals have been basically canceled for the rest of 2020.    This week would have been the opening of the 72nd annual Virginia Highlands Festival, where I serve as the Executive Director. It's bittersweet.    I thought this would be an appropriate week to rerun last year's episode of the lessons I've learned along the way, so that when we finally can...

Dennis Gillan on Loneliness and Suicide Prevention

I was obsessed earlier this year with Malcolm Gladwell's book, "Talking to Strangers." In processing through the information I started to think about loneliness and mental health--especially for those of us working in nonprofit and mission-driven leadership. This provided the context for an interview with Dennis Gillan. Dennis and I were speakers at TEDx Hickory in November 2019, and his talk on suicide prevention presented the topic with gentle humor and warmth. I've been wanting to share h...

Summer Rerun: Inclusion and Belonging with Jonathan Pitts

If you're a business owner and you don't have a stated position on diversity, equity, and inclusion, you are behind the times. This week's summer rerun is an interview with Jonathan Pitts, former executive director of Chicago Improv Productions, who has spent the last couple of years on a global improv "walkabout," which has been derailed due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and so many live events canceling this year. We put a definition to the word inclusion, Jonathan shared a mistake he ...
