In this conversation, Olivia and I dive into what it really means to find your why. We start with the idea of purpose — why we do what we do — and then Olivia shares her own vulnerable story about the end of her softball season.

She talks about the sting of a national tournament loss, how it left her career feeling unfinished, and the mixed emotions that followed. Together, we explore what it looks like to face disappointment, to ask hard questions about continuing or letting go, and to find a sense of completion — whether by taking another step forward or reframing the story entirely.

This is a heartfelt, honest episode about wrestling with purpose, trusting God with our choices, and learning to abide in the Father — even in moments that feel unresolved.

“Life is beautiful, messy, and sometimes a little unfiltered — and so is 287 West. You may hear the occasional strong word, always in context and never careless, because we believe in telling the whole story just as it is.”

Welcome to the very first episode of 287 West! In thisopening conversation, Beck shares the deeply personal story that inspired the name of the podcast — a moment of emotional awakening and divine guidance that pointedher west and became an anchor for her life.

Joined by her daughter and cohost Olivia, they talk about what it means to create a “sacred container” for transformation, to abide in the Father (the finished work), and to live as women who are awake, whole, and fully present.

This episode sets the tone for everything to come: honest storytelling, Biblical and alchemical wisdom, and encouragement to take up the journey of sovereignty — becoming the queen of your own inner kingdom. You’ll laugh alittle, maybe cry a little, and walk away with the sense that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be.Next up in Episode 2: we explore 'The Why' — uncovering your deeper purpose, finding the direction God is pointing you, and learning to align with His plan for your life.
