So Many Things Can Change Your Life (If You Let Them)
The truth about why you’re stuck—and how one 'yes' can transform your life.

Hi Friends,
I know it’s been a while, but thanks for giving me space as I worked through a few things.
I’m excited to be back with you — Here’s something I’ve been thinking about this week:
So many things can change your life—if you let them.
Not if you hear about them.
Not if you read the book.
Not if you meet the person.
If you let them.
Most of us are not stuck because we lack opportunities.
We’re stuck because we’re unwilling to be changed by them.
The Real Reason You’re Still Stuck
I want to be real with you:
The greatest threat to your future is your commitment to staying the same.
We love the idea of transformation. But in practice?
We cling to our routines. We defend our identities.
We stay in environments that feel safe—even when they’re slowly killing our potential.
Why?
Because comfort is addictive.
And change is scary.
Even good change.
I know this because I’ve lived it.
Personal Story: The Job I Almost Didn’t Take
A few years ago, I got offered a job that, on paper, was something I had prayed for.
It was everything I said I wanted—more responsibility, more creativity and autonomy over my work, and a team I admired.
But instead of being excited, I froze.
My first thought wasn’t “Yes!”
It was: “Am I even good enough for this?”
I almost turned it down—not because I didn’t want it, but because I didn’t feel worthy of it.
I told myself stories like:
“I’m not ready yet.”
“They probably picked the wrong person.”
“What if I get in and fail?”
Looking back, I realize I wasn’t just afraid of failing.
I was afraid of becoming someone who no longer had the excuse of playing small.
Eventually, after some serious self-talk (and a helpful push from my dad who wouldn’t let me sabotage it), I said yes.
And that job changed my entire life.
It opened new doors. It built my confidence. It led to things I couldn’t have imagined at the time.
But none of that would’ve happened if I hadn’t let it.
What Are You Resisting?
This is my gentle challenge to you this week:
What are you resisting, that’s actually meant to change you?
Is it a person who stretches your thinking, but you keep them at arm’s length?
A job you’re afraid to apply for because you don’t feel “ready”?
A hard conversation you avoid, even though it could finally set you free?
A morning routine you know would help, but haven’t committed to?
A move to a new city you need to make, but don’t feel “ready” for?
Stop looking for signs. You already know.
The question isn’t whether your life can change.
The question is: Will you let it?
Final Thought
Letting your life change doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it’s saying yes when you usually say no.
Sometimes it’s staying when you usually run.
Or leaving when you usually settle.
But one thing is true every time:
You don’t get transformation without surrender.
Surrender to the discomfort.
Surrender to the unknown.
Surrender to the version of you that’s waiting on the other side.
Change is coming.
With you in the Journey,
Rebecca

Then I discovered RUKR. They’re on a mission to make rucking accessible to everyone, and their weighted vest is designed specifically for women—so it actually fits well and feels comfortable.
