Birthdays with Becky

Welcome back to the show! Today I’m reflecting on birthdays and the stories we have around them!

Some topics and themes that I explore on today's episode:

• sharing my early childhood experiences around birthdays and holidays with my family of origin
• highlighting my shift this year around my birthday, and choosing to start to rewrite my story
• touching on themes of self-love and self-compassion, along with the importance of knowing, allowing, and articulating our wants and needs (as opposed to expecting others to read our minds)

Resources Mentioned in this Episode

• Previous Episodes of Better with Becky
• Beckygram Post on "Walking Backwards Into the Future"
• Book Recommendation: Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

Curious Questions for Reflection from Today's Episode

• When was the last time you put your own needs or wants at the center of a special day?
• How might your celebrations change if you let self-compassion and curiosity guide you?
• What story from your past are you ready to rewrite, and what bold first step can you take?

How to keep in touch with me

• The current Build with Becky Program, Drive+Thrive is an open invitation to explore self-love actively: what could be more empowering than leaning into seeing just how strong you are, inside and out? This 5/3/1 Max Strength phase invites you to safely explore and test your strength in all major movement patterns: squat/hinge/push/pull, with plenty of alternatives and entry points for all levels and preferences!
