What a fun episode to produce! You submitted your questions, and I'm answering them. In this Ask Becky Anything episode,I answer questions you have about thought work and life coaching, I share some of my personal challenges and areas I'm growing in as a working mom, and I share some of my favorite podcasts to listen to.

How do you feel when you think about your future? What's ahead in your life? Do you daydream about what's possible, do you dread what could be, or do you not think about it at all? In this episode, we're talking all about the possibility that comes from living with a future focus and how we can create a future that looks different from our past (and our present). If you're wanting to make change,...

Do you ever feel like you wake up, go through all the motions, do ALL the things, go to bed, wake up and do it all over again? Rinse and repeat? Sometimes, we create overwhelm, confusion and lack of focus for ourselves simply because we never stop. We never press pause. Take a beat. And a breath. So today, in this Friday Five Bonus episode we're talking about exactly that - hitting the pause butto...

What comes up when you think about what's next in your life? What are you anticipating? In this episode, we talk about how we can see the tremendous power of our thoughts and what they can create through our ability to anticipate - to create feelings in advance. We also discuss how the way you feel in your life right now, in the present, has a lot to do with what you're anticipating happening in t...

Our thoughts have tremendous power in our lives. Because our thoughts create every feeling we have, they influence our entire life experience. Choosing to believe new thoughts that serve us well can be life-changing. In this episode of Beyond Happy, I'm sharing some of my favorite thoughts that have impacted my life in significant ways. I share what these thoughts are and how I've applied them. 

So many women tell me how they're grateful for so much in their lives - how they have so many blessings to count - and yet, if they're really honest - something is missing. They don't feel like they want to feel most of the time. They just want to feel better. And I get it. Today we're talking about what many of us are missing in this mission to feel better and one of the most powerful first steps...

Do you feel like there's never enough time in your days? Are you always on the go with a to-do list that never ends? When people ask, "How are you?" is your response always "Busy!"? Busy has become the new normal. But why? In this episode of Beyond Happy, we talk about why we all seem to be SO busy, what it's really creating in our lives, and how we can stop.

What does your morning routine look like? Is it setting you up for success or sending you into a downward spiral, just minutes after waking up? Mornings matter. On this episode of Beyond Happy, we're talking about the impact of our morning rituals and how they influence our entire day - starting with the snooze button. Tune in to learn a few simple changes to your morning routine that could turn y...

We put a lot of time, energy and thought into attempting to avoid failure in our lives. Doing the "wrong" thing. Making a mistake. But what if failure - being willing to try without having all the answers, being willing to do whatever it takes to reach a goal or create a result you want in your life - is KEY to your making it happen? In this episode, we talk about what failure is and what it isn't...

In my coaching practice, the idea of time causing stress and upset is one that I hear quite a bit. We believe we don't have enough time, or that the timing of events in our lives happen at the wrong time - too early, too soon, too late. We try to manage time, but is time something we can really control or manage? In this bonus episode of Beyond Happy we're talking about how the way we think about...

What is the purpose of your life? It's a question that many spend their lives searching to answer. But what if you didn't need to "find" your purpose? What if I told you you could stop looking for purpose because you were created with it inside you? In this episode, we're talking all about your real purpose (and mine) and how you can start living it out right now. 

Feeling "bad" - feeling angry, upset, sad, depressed, irritated, guilty or disappointed, for example - is a normal, healthy part of our life experience. We were meant to experience a full range of emotions. But what happens when we live in a world that tells us we should be happy, and yet we don't feel happy all the time? We feel bad ABOUT feeling bad. And it makes us feel worse. We feel guilty ab...

Fear shows up in our lives in many different ways, and it often keeps us in our comfort zones. We get stuck, not wanting to move forward and reach for the hard or scary dream or challenge on our heart, because we don't know how it's going to play out. But the big God dreams on your heart? There are people out there, just like you, going for it. They're doing it anyway, and they're doing it scared....

Many of us have something in our life that we'd love to do differently. Maybe it's a goal we'd like to achieve, a dream we'd love to pursue or a problem we'd like to resolve. But we don't. Why? What holds us back? Many of us think the reason we don't is due to other people, life events and circumstances out of our control. But when we take a closer look, we find that has nothing to do with other p...

Do you find yourself saying yes in life, even when you really want to say no? Fear of rejection is a powerful thing, and it's often what drives us to say yes. We care what others think. We want to be liked and included, and we believe others will like us if we say yes. What happens is, when you say yes to avoid others' disappointment and judgment, when you say yes from a place of guilt, you end up...

We're wired to form judgments about the world around us. These thoughts have purpose, informing our decisions and keeping us safe. But not all judgments serve us well. Sometimes our critical thoughts about ourselves and other people create unnecessary suffering. If you find yourself struggling with judgmental thoughts, there's good news. There's an antidote to judgment, and its name is curiosity....

Are you living your life in pursuit of happiness? Many of us are. The world tells us that "happy" should be our goal. But what if life isn't about being happy all the time? What if life is beyond happy... and is about you living a rich and meaningful experience that includes a range of positive and negative emotions? What if chasing happiness is not only impossible, but is making you miserable by...

Do you ever feel like there are cobwebs in your brain? Or like it's heavy - weighing you down - because you're carrying too much around? We spring clean our homes to declutter, organize and free up space - letting go of the old and making room for the new. We can do the same thing by decluttering our minds in a few easy steps that you can do right now. The result is a refreshed, refocused, more en...

The human brain is amazing. It keeps us safe, it keeps us alive and it allows us to think, feel and learn. But the capability of the brain is so much more than that. It's the most powerful tool we've been given in life. When we start to understand the brain and how it works, we begin to understand why we do the things we do in our lives. If you've ever felt like life is happening to you, like you'...

What does laundry have to do with life? Well, it turns out, laundry has quite a few things to teach us. In this episode I'm sharing 3 lessons I've learned from laundry, and how it's impacted my perspective when it comes to productivity, time management, feeling stuck and feeling trapped (in the lint trap?!) by comparison. You'll never see laundry (or life) quite the same way after listening to thi...

There's a famous John Lennon quote that says, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." I've had a lot of life happen to me, can you relate? How do you respond when life hands you something unexpected, something other than what you had planned? In this episode, we talk about how our responses to circumstances beyond our control have a major impact on our lives. I also share 5 thi...

Change can feel scary and overwhelming, and it's avoiding those very feelings that keeps us from committing - even to those changes we know would be great for us to make in our lives. But what if you could create massive results in your life, just by making some small, micro changes? You absolutely can. Listen in to learn how.

In a very ME-focused world, the role of personal growth as it relates to faith and spirituality can be fuzzy. For those fueled by faith, we can be uncertain of where the line is between growing and evolving into our best, healthiest selves, and becoming completely self-centered. In this episode, we talk about the deep connection between personal growth and spiritual growth, and how we're each call...

What makes something truth vs. a lie? And what happens when we assume everything we believe is true? In this episode, we're talking about the power of questioning our beliefs, three of the common lies we believe, and how believing them is keeping us from living our best life. If you struggle with hurt feelings, people pleasing, searching for happiness or struggling with money, this one's for you.
