How DO we navigate an ending?
...the end of a marriage,
...a career,
...a home,
...an identity,
...a life?
When we arrive at some seemingly impossible juncture in our lives,
when the familiar paths have vanished, and our compass spins unpredictably, it can feel agonizing.
Life-changing questions often are.
You may prefer to keep your head down and get on with your day.
You’re not alone!
Acknowledging change is so difficult for most of us.
We’re often called to shift our thinking (and actions) after enduring a time of hardship. Life always has other plans for us. We surrender an old self to something larger. Or we don’t.
If you’re curious about how long-term travel can support midlife transitions, I’m here to help.

Thank you, dear Becky, for your attentiveness and insights during out conversation. You are such a wise woman.

An absolutely fantastic presentation by Becky Livingston about the loss of her daughter, and how traveling with her daughter’s ashes helped her heal from devastating loss

As a single mom of three teenagers who works full time, I was starting to feel the physical and emotional toll of putting myself last on a long to-do list. When I connected with Becky for coaching, I was looking for a way to prioritize my own well-being as I worried that continuing along my current path would cause further harm to my health. Becky was able to understand my current state of being through active listening and insightful questions. I appreciated her great empathy and felt comfor… Read more

As a man moving out of a rewarding career and a great job into another phase of life I was very uneasy about what the future might hold. I had the good fortune to be introduced to Becky and to work with her as my coach. Becky was wonderful to engage with – insightful, intelligent, respectful, and committed to the process. In some of the later meetings she would remind me of something I had said when we started working together which connected numerous dots and really demonstrated the level of at… Read more

You know that brilliant advice you give to all your friends and loved ones…the voice that seems to have wisdom and experience all under the belt? I was, like many others, unable to hear it for myself. Through coaching with Becky, I learned to locate that voice and now, it is louder and clearer than ever before and I am finally listening to myself. The difference this has made in my life is massive to say the least. Becky came to every session prepared, dedicated and with an open ear. Becky lis… Read more

Becky’s coaching was a beacon of light across the water. Her evocative questioning kindled a long buried goal of mine, and her encouragement to pursue this goal when it surfaced has led to delight at the possibilities that are unfolding. I highly recommend her style of coaching to help you find the path you have long sought and then follow it.

When I first started working with Becky, I’d been dreaming about taking a road trip across Canada but wasn’t confident I could actually do it on my own. Becky helped me sort through what was holding me back and to identify the strengths I could rely on. She encouraged me to look at how I respond to challenges with negative self-talk and to question my limited mindset around aging – I’m 71. I left each of our five coaching sessions with something practical to work on. Together, we came to … Read more
