Hi, I'm Becca!
Over the past 3 years a lot of clarity has been created in my life. I’ve laughed and learned and lost; I’ve grieved and grown and gained. I’ve discovered who I am, who and what is important, and how I want to spend this limited time called life. Nobody has it all figured out, myself included, but the more I come to understand, the more I want to share that clarity with others.
I lost my mother, Clare, in June of 2014. Losing her, and eventually finding myself, has provided the most clarity in my life. The first few years after she passed were anything but clear. Life was cloudy, nothing made sense, questions were unanswered, and grief was everywhere and nowhere.
In 2018, I realized I was going through life, but not living it. I was saying yes to everyone and everything else, defining my happiness by my ability to create happiness for others. I have spent most of my life overweight and was at my all-time heaviest weight and lowest self-confidence.
While talking with my sister about my new years resolution around weight-loss, she gave me two pieces of advice that flipped a switch in my brain and literally changed my life.
Over the next 10.5 months (that’s right- this wasn’t a quick fix or overnight transformation), I lost 100 pounds and I gained SO much – confidence, self-worth, energy, positivity, motivation, emotional intelligence, discipline, and belief in myself that I can do anything I set my mind to. I literally saved my own life, discovered who I am, and fell in love with that amazing, creative, thoughtful woman looking back at me in the mirror. I was overcome with a sense of peace.
You may not have a sister like mine (you don’t – she’s one-of-a-kind), but I’m happy to be that person that cheers you on and reminds you what you’re capable of, shines a light on the value you bring to this world by showing up, and advocates for what brings you joy and peace.
Be kind to yourself, stay grateful and grounded, and know that you’re worth it.
