It's a tale we all know so well. Working hard and diligently building the life you think you're supposed to want—the career, a marriage, a carefully crafted plan. And then everything came crashing down. My guest this week, Becca Eve Young, knows all to well how this story goes. Because she lived it. Her marriage unraveled. She was laid off while alone in a foreign country as a global pandemic hit. Then, just when she thought it couldn't get worse, she gets the call that her father died. Stranded in rural Mexico, cracked open by grief, she experienced a supernatural encounter under the full moon that set her on a wild, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking journey. From car crashes and chaotic hookups, to silent meditation retreats, psychedelic revelations, robberies, and mystical moments—this is what happens when life blows up and a woman dares to say yes to becoming someone new.
On this guest episode, Becca and I have a lively conversation exploring the concepts and details of her story. I had the privilege to read her book and adored its vibrant tone and how her Soul came through the words on the page. Becca shares about her journey in a raw, hilarious, and deeply human way. She tells us about her experience of how what began as a freefall became a wild quest to untangle grief, rewrite old stories, and rediscover her own worth. Together we share stories and anecdotes of life on the spiritual path and offer insights and guidance for anyone who’s ever felt lost in their own life and is searching for more.
BIO:
Becca Eve Young is a former corporate strategist turned soulful storyteller and devoted to the art of becoming. After a plot twist (or five), she walked away from the societal shoulds to reclaim her voice. Her work lives at the raw intersections of growth, healing, and reinvention—delivered with humor, heart, and a spiritual spark. Her debut book, "It's Gonna Get Messy" is an unfiltered true story of heartbreak, healing and reinvention with a profound supernatural twist. The heart of her story is rooted in ditching the societal script and becoming your most soulful, authentic self. When she’s not guiding others through identity shifts in starting their entrepreneurial career or coaching them in finding meaning in the messiness of life, you’ll find her barefoot on a surfboard, writing in cozy cafes, and chasing the kind of freedom you can feel in your bones.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?
My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.
After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.
Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.
On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine
I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,
If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
