It's Gonna Get Messy- Becca Eve Young on Intuition, Grief, and the Courage to Stop Performing

Most of us are really good at looking like we've got it together. Becca Eve Young decided to stop pretending.

She's a coach, author, and former corporate climber who did all the things — MBA, corner office, company going public — and watched it all collapse in the same year her dad died, stranded alone in rural Mexico during a global pandemic. What came out the other side was a book called It's Gonna Get Messy.

She helps people stop performing their lives and start actually living them.

We talk about the societal scripts we never agreed to, the inner knowing we keep ignoring, what it really costs to keep the mess hidden, and why the connections we're all looking for are on the other side of being honest about the hard stuff.

If you've ever had the nagging feeling that the life you've built doesn't quite fit, this one's going to hit.
