Cut the S**t: Becc Nelson on Reframing Your Life and Raising Your Vibration
Episode Overview
- Stop giving your power away by waiting for others to change before you allow yourself to be happy.
- Start with honest awareness of your own behaviours and a willingness to see your patterns clearly.
- Notice where emotions feel stuck in your body, and let them move rather than ignoring physical signs.
- Reframe situations by asking what opportunity for growth they offer instead of "Why is this happening to me?"
- Build joy and healthier relationships by loving yourself first, rather than relying on others for validation.
“Emotions are energy in motion. They are meant to be noticed and move through you.”
Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This chat between host Ellen Stewart and author–therapist Becc Nelson is made for anyone feeling drained by old patterns and hungry for change. Ellen introduces Becc as a "true pushy broad" with over 30 years’ experience helping people break free from self‑sabotage.
Becc’s book, "Cut the S**t: Reframe Your Thinking, Regain Your Life," grew out of her own history as an adult child of an alcoholic and the violent chaos of her childhood home. She talks openly about growing up with a father whose anger ruled the house and how those unspoken rules—"don’t talk, don’t feel"—followed her into adulthood.
The heart of the conversation is Becc’s no‑nonsense approach: stop giving your power away by waiting for other people to change so you can be happy. Instead, start with awareness and a willingness to be honest about your own patterns. She explains how emotions show up physically, saying, "Emotions are energy in motion. They are meant to be noticed and move through you," and warns that ignoring them can turn into physical pain and illness.
You’ll hear practical tools like journaling prompts, evening body scans, and mental reframing—shifting from "Why do these bad things keep happening to me?" to "What is the opportunity I have here for growth?" Becc also digs into the fear of change, the way people seek validation outside themselves, and why joy is "one of the highest expressions of love" that many are unconsciously blocking.
Her story about expecting her husband to fix old wounds shows how easily we hand other people the job of proving we’re lovable. The turning point? Asking, "Do you love you?" and building from there. If you’re tired of chasing other people’s approval and want a straight-talking route to reclaiming your energy, this episode might be the push you need. What small shift in thinking could you try today to raise your own vibration?
