Certified Professional Coach

You've built a life that looks successful. So why doesn't it feel like yours?

Maybe you’ve spent years being the capable one. The one who figures things out, shows up, takes care of business, and gets things done.

You’ve read the books. Attended the workshops. Done the inner work. You know a lot about personal growth.

And yet, somewhere along the way, you may have started wondering: When did I get so good at living the life I was supposed to want that I stopped asking what I actually want?

If that question hits a little too close to home, you’re in the right place.

A different way forward

I’m Becki Salzman, a Certified Professional Life Coach, Energy Leadership Index Master, and former higher education executive. I’ve spent much of my life leading, achieving, solving problems, and figuring things out.

I also know what it’s like to wrestle with self-doubt and discover that knowing what you should do doesn’t automatically make it easier to hear yourself, trust yourself, or make a different choice.

Over time, I came to see something that changed how I think about personal growth: sometimes, the answer isn't another strategy for becoming a better version of yourself.

Sometimes, it's letting go of the expectations, old rules, and well-practiced roles that have made it harder to recognize the person you already are.

That realization is at the heart of Radical Unbecoming.

Nothing to fix.

Something to remember.

Radical Unbecoming is a practice and community for accomplished midlife women who are ready to question what no longer fits and reconnect with themselves—not by becoming someone new, but by returning to what they know, value, and want.

Here, we make room for awareness without judgment, self-compassion without excuses, and self-trust without needing everyone else's approval. We practice finding our authentic voice, taking aligned action, and bringing more of who we really are into how we live.

Not as another self-improvement project. Not as a demand to have everything figured out.

As a way of living with more honesty, choice, and connection to yourself.

You don't have to figure it all out alone.

Radical Unbecoming brings women together to reflect, question old assumptions, share experiences, and practice a different relationship with themselves. You can begin with a small moment of recognition and take it from there.

If you want personal support, I also offer coaching. But whether you start with a reflection, a conversation, or deeper one-on-one work, the invitation is the same:

Stop working so hard to become the woman you think you should be. Make room for the woman you already are.
