Becca, who once navigated the tumultuous waters of the sex industry and battled alcohol dependency, shares her incredible journey from exotic dancer to esteemed professor. It's a tale of transformation that will leave you pondering life's possibilities. Becca's story begins in her twenties, a time marked by her struggle with alcohol and her involvement in her mother's escort agency.
Despite the challenges, she was determined to break free and pursue higher education. Fast forward to today, Becca holds three degrees and has spent two decades teaching English and writing. Yet, beneath her academic success lay a secret battle with binge drinking that spanned years. In 2018, after an eight-day blackout, Becca decided enough was enough.
Her candid admission of her struggles marked the beginning of her recovery journey, with the help of a detox centre and an eight-week treatment programme. She emphasises the power of community and the dangers of isolation, highlighting how opening up and seeking support changed everything for her. Journaling played a pivotal role in Becca's healing process, eventually leading to the publication of her memoir, 'From Prostitute to Professor'.
Now, she channels her experiences into helping women over 40 through virtual retreats and coaching programmes. Her message is clear: reclaim your life, find your purpose, and embrace sobriety with pride. Becca's story is a testament to resilience and the human spirit's capacity for change. If you're looking for inspiration or guidance on your own journey, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about quitting alcohol; it's about finding yourself and living life to the fullest.
