Hi Reader,

A few years ago, I was in a job that looked impressive from the outside—but felt completely wrong from the inside.

After a big reorg at Nike, I’d been moved into a role that made no sense for my experience, my values, or frankly, who I was as a person.

I felt invisible. Underutilized. Like I was slowly fading into someone else’s idea of “successful.”

I also often felt physically sick.

And yet… I stayed.

Because it was Nike.
Because it seemed secure.
Because I was afraid to walk away without a clear next step.

Then one weekend, I went to the Oregon Coast. And during a walk along the water—chilly wind, crashing waves, sand in my shoes—I heard something I hadn’t let myself hear in months:

“You can’t keep doing this.”

"I am ready to leave now."

That voice was quiet, but it was mine.
And I finally trusted it.

That moment is why I’m hosting this:

🎤 Trust Yourself Table Talk​
🗓️ July 16 at 4:00 pm PT
📍Virtual | Free | Small group format

This session is part mini-workshop, part real conversation.

We’ll explore:

• How to stop outsourcing your confidence to job titles and expectations
• How to give yourself permission to leave what’s misaligned
• How to listen when your inner voice says, “Something’s got to change”

Then we’ll shift into a round table—where we get honest about what’s really getting in the way of clarity and self-trust.

If you're in a season of “I should stay…” but your body says otherwise—this is for you.

Because sometimes the biggest shift starts with the smallest act of self-authority.

Like showing up.

Warmly,

Becky
