    Jan 29 2026

    What if the only limits are the ones you accept?

    In this episode, I chat with Carlotta, a 20-year-old ultra cyclist who has completed the Triple Crown of mountain races — the Silk Road, Atlas, and Hellenic — and is currently cycling her way to Taiwan.

    Carlotta shares what it’s been like to ride to race start lines, race through remote mountain ranges, and immerse herself in new cultures along the way. We talk about navigating ultra cycling as a young woman, and how confidence is built through consistency and trusting that everything will work out.

    This conversation is about pushing limits without losing joy, embracing spontaneity, and believing in yourself even when the road ahead feels uncertain. Carlotta’s story is a reminder that adventure doesn’t require perfection — just the willingness to go.

  • 207: Feeling Lost in the New Year? A Softer Approach to Growth & Motivation
    Jan 8 2026

    The New Year often comes with pressure to reinvent yourself, set big goals, and have everything figured out, but what if you’re exhausted instead?

    In this episode, Becca chats about the emotional weight that can come with the New Year, sharing honest reflections on burnout, comparison, uncertainty, and mental health. She challenges the idea that January must come with clarity or motivation and reminds us that self-compassion matters more than productivity.

    This conversation explores why it’s okay to feel disconnected, why uncertainty isn’t weakness, and how personal growth doesn’t follow a calendar. Becca encourages listeners to honor their own timelines, release comparison, and take a softer, more intentional approach to goals whenever they’re ready.

    If you’re struggling with New Year pressure, goal anxiety, or feeling behind, this episode is a reminder that your journey is your own.
