Coaching can feel like a solo sport, but it doesn’t have to!


Join Becky Mollenkamp and Taina Brown for a free live workshop on October 30th at 2 p.m. ET where we’ll explore what it really takes to grow as a coach rooted in liberation, not just business.


🌟 In this session, you’ll learn:

  • What liberation can look like for you and your clients
  • The 3 essentials every coach needs for a sustainable, liberatory practice
  • How community can fuel your growth with fresh ideas, accountability, and support

This isn’t just another workshop—it’s a doorway into deeper connection with coaches who share your values.


👉 Reserve your free spot today: https://evt.to/eodmahasw

(If you can’t make it live, sign up anyway—replay will be available!)

Becky’s sick, Taina’s tired, and somehow that makes for the best kind of messy conversation. From writing smut to why summer feels like winter, this grab bag episode runs the gamut of sex, TV, astrology, and systemic injustice.

Discussed in this episode:

  • What it’s really like to write sex scenes (and why it’s more about logistics than lust)
  • Becky’s prudish confessions about watching intimacy on screen
  • Love Is Blind: Brazil – Over 50 and why watching older women date is surprisingly joyful
  • British comfort TV vs. American sensory-overload reality shows
  • Astrology, natal charts, and why New Year’s actually starts in Scorpio or Virgo season
  • Why summer feels like winter and autumn brings the most creativity
  • Becky’s son’s “welcome to capitalism” moment with a half-empty bag of chips
  • Activism that disrupts power at the table, not just in the streets
  • The parallels between Baltimore and St. Louis: segregation, schools, and systemic inequities
  • Infrastructure failures, unsafe water, and the privilege required to access safety
