Scenic Route

What if embracing community could radically transform your mental health and personal growth?
Join me as I sit down with Becky Mollenkamp, an accountability coach and intersectional feminist, to unravel her inspiring journey from a childhood devoid of community to discovering its immense value after becoming a parent. Becky opens up about the often overwhelming challenges of motherhood and how finding supportive communities can alleviate self-judgment and societal pressures. Her insights shine a light on the pivotal role of community in nurturing our well-being and fostering meaningful connections.

• Inclusive Communities: The emotional labour involved and the risks Becky took to create welcoming spaces.
