Living BIG Mini-Sode: Rupture, Repair, and Being Human

What happens when Becca and Meredith start talking before they actually start recording the podcast? Apparently…you get the podcast. In this *Living BIG* mini-sode, Becca and Meredith turn an ADHD-fueled conversation about Audible speeds, timers, therapy, algorithms, and floor chips into a surprisingly honest discussion about personal growth, relationships, and what it means to be human. They talk about why growth doesn’t mean showing up perfectly, how healthy relationships survive rupture through repair, and why learning to have hard conversations sometimes means accepting that not everyone is going to like you. They also reflect on owning the moments when you weren’t your best self, circling back when you can, and choosing curiosity over judgment. And when the world feels overwhelming? Becca and Meredith talk about focusing on the corner of the world you *can* influence—building braver people, stronger relationships, and communities where people have room to grow. Because living BIG isn’t about becoming perfectly healed. It’s about becoming more self-aware, repairing when things break, and choosing how you want to show up next. **Living BIG is about creativity, courage, community, and becoming more fully yourself.
