Episode 65 — Becoming Less Attached to the Outcomes In Life — with Bekah Puccia

All the noise and opinions surrounding any given person in this world can become so loud to the point where extreme overwhelm and mental paralysis can occur. “Do this. Take this route. Go to this college. Take this course. Stay on this path.” Before you know it, you don’t even know what you’re passionate about, what you love to do—who you really are. You might even start to lose sight of a sense of purpose for yourself.Bekah Puccia, the youngest of four in her family, was the first to drift away from the main career path the majority of her family took, leaving her with a stressful weight on her shoulders. She was able to acquire a bachelor's degree in writing from the University of New York, which she now uses purely as a hobby. She began to find her true path when she decided to get away from her hometown to be a wilderness guide in a young adult program, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Her personal experiences and many roles in programs over the years ultimately formed her vision for the Ember Lodge Recovery Community For Women. She now owns and operates Ember Lodge along with its sister program, the Cairn Outpatient Program, and is a drug and alcohol counselor herself. Happily married, with a beautiful family, and doing all she loves, Bekah finds herself in one of the most enjoyable times of her life, thus far.On this episode of Success is Subjective, Bekah joins Joanna to share her story of her challenging journey through college and how she managed to finally find her true purpose, that she finds sincere passion and fulfillment in.
