EP 115: Living A Life That Reflects Your True Desires With Becky Mollenkamp
Description
We had a great time sitting down with Becky to talk about the messy, beautiful process of becoming who you really are — and why there’s no quick three-step solution to “figuring life out.”
In this candid episode (ok, for real, they are all pretty candid), Becky shares her personal journey from burnout to contentment, the importance of shedding “shoulds,” and how vulnerability has become one of her greatest strengths. We explore why joy is a choice, how to be more present (even when life feels like a dumpster fire), and why embracing imperfection actually builds deeper trust with your audience and community.
Topics we cover in this episode:
- Letting go of societal “shoulds” and embracing what actually feels good
- The myth of finally “arriving” — and why life is all about the journey
- Choosing joy and contentment even in the middle of chaos
- The power of vulnerability and showing your full self online
- Why laughing at yourself is one of the most freeing things you can do
- Building resilience and giving yourself grace through the hard seasons
Becky also shares about her new podcast Assigned Reading (launching now!) and the Feminist Podcasters Collective — a supportive space for creators amplifying women's voices.
💡 Quote of the Episode: "When the world gives you a dumpster fire, make s’mores."
