How to Build Thriving Communities: Championing Reciprocity and Equity with Becky Mollenkamp

Scenic Route, Social Change and Mental Health Conversations for Perfectionists

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.
