Episode Summary:
Ever feel like your business path doesn’t make sense on paper — but you know deep down it’s exactly where you're meant to be?
In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Becky Nieves — also known as Becky the Cycle Breaker — a coach for high-achieving moms healing from narcissistic parenting. Becky shares her honest journey from a traditional career path and unexpected stay-at-home motherhood to entrepreneurship, burnout, and finally, a coaching business built with purpose and alignment.
This episode is especially for the woman who’s been doing all the “right” things but still feels stuck — in a business she doesn’t love, a role she didn’t choose, or a life that’s not lighting her up.
You’ll hear real talk about pivoting, people-pleasing, motherhood, and what it actually takes to build a life-first business when you’re holding space for everyone else.
Your life’s work should reflect you — not just what you’ve been through, but what you're building toward. Let’s grow and flourish together. 💛

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
