About Becca
The Porcelain Throne Moment
One of the most life-changing moments I ever had happened on the toilet. Pants around my ankles, hiding away from the world, when my phone rang. It was a C-Suite full of executives wanting to discuss my proposal. I answered anyway, muted while I got my life together, and nailed that call.
That moment taught me something crucial: if you can handle business with your pants literally down, you can handle anything. I realized I was wildly capable, even in the most vulnerable situations. But I also realized I hated my corporate job, even though it paid well.
That porcelain throne moment was the beginning of understanding that authenticity and competence aren’t opposites - they’re the foundation of building something meaningful.
For years, I thought success meant fitting a template. Look this way, follow these steps, be like someone famous, and then people will like you. I spent 16+ years in healthcare (seven years in sterile processing, eight years in medical sales) building expertise while trying to fit the corporate mold.
But something shifted when I started sharing my real story online. Not the polished version, but the messy, honest, sometimes inappropriate truth about what it’s like to be human while building a career. That authenticity led to podcast invitations, medical publication features, meeting my husband, and ultimately the client base that allowed me to step out of corporate America.
I wear my tattoos like body armor now, with pride. They’re for me, and they perfectly express my “Beccaness.” I used to think they made me less professional. Now I know they make me more authentic.
The Plot Twist
Life has a way of throwing curveballs, even during positive choices. I decided to get a breast augmentation since we weren’t having more kids.
The surgeon required a mammogram, which found cancer. What started as a cosmetic choice became a four-surgery journey that forced me to slow down and reevaluate everything.
I’ve had to pull up my big girl panties repeatedly, when my parents died unexpectedly, when cancer knocked me sideways, when clients fired me, and when I second-guessed leaving corporate security. Each hard experience became ammunition to fuel my passions rather than reasons to quit.
These experiences, combined with my business lessons, have developed a unique confidence.
Not the kind that comes from having it all figured out, but the kind that comes from knowing you can figure it out as you go.
What I’m Building Now
I’m writing a book called ‘How to Be Corporate with Your Pants Down’ - about building authentic business without losing your humanity. I’m documenting the whole messy process through my Corporate Exit Diaries because I believe showing the work matters more than pretending to have perfect answers.
I work with a few healthcare companies to help them tell their stories authentically (because bills still need paying while I build toward what’s next). But my real focus is finishing this book and showing other competent-but-unfulfilled professionals that you don’t have to blow up your life to start building something meaningful.
The Truth About This Journey
I’m still figuring it all out. Some days business ownership feels worth it, other days I want to clock in and clock out like a normal person. I’m learning to set boundaries, building resilience, and discovering what it means to transition from profitable work to purposeful work without losing my mind or my mortgage.
The difference between where I am now and where I was on that porcelain throne isn’t that I have all the answers. It’s that I’ve learned to trust my ability to find them, pants down or not.
If you’re tired of being really good at work that doesn’t light you up, if you’re competent but unfulfilled, if you know you’re meant for something more but don’t know what that looks like - you’re in the right place.
I’m not here to sell you a perfect system. I’m here to show you what the actual process looks like and prove that you can build something meaningful without becoming someone you hate. Ready to figure it out together?
