Unbecoming With Phoebe Mroczek

On today’s episode, I'd planned to talk about resolutions, goal setting and plans for the new year. However, I received tough news that caused me to question everything, and made me toss out all of my plans for 2019. With this new perspective and recent contemplation, I knew I had a different message for this episode. It's intended to make us all reflect and hopefully think differently. We’re diving deep into the tough questions on the very first day of the new year. As entrepreneurs and thought leaders, it's important to consider who you are and who you want to be. The success you seek in your business is found in the clarity of your own identity.. because your business is only as strong as the personal foundation it’s built on. We get into it all on this episode. With this new insight, I’ve decided to open up a few new spaces for a mastermind starting this month, and it’s open to anyone that’s ready to stop pretending and surround herself or himself with others making big changes in their lives. To find out

18The holidays can be tricky to navigate. They’re often filled with unsolicited comments or insensitive questions, and a handful of judgments and expectations thrown in for good measure… the recipe for a less than ideal few days or weeks. So you may be wondering: What are some ways to preserve my sanity over the holidays? What’s the best way to respond to the SAME irritating questions I get asked every year? What is the ONE thing I can do everyday to keep this end of the year momentum moving through to the new year? Well, I’ve got you covered. It’s time to get real. Packed full of thought-provoking questions, this episode highlights 7 thoughts, tips and invitations to inspire you into action this holiday season. Happy Holidays! If you’re enjoying the show, please take a moment to leave an honest rating and review on iTunes, I’d really appreciate it, and I’m looking forward to you joining me in the new year for more episodes of the podcast!

When you don’t plan appropriately, you’re setting yourself and your business up for failure, hard lessons and results you’re not proud of. On the previous episode, we discussed one critical piece of the planning puzzle: The Annual Audit. In this episode, I take it one step further and shed light on the common planning mistakes entrepreneurs make, and how to avoid them. If you are someone who refuses to plan because it feels limiting, stressful or constricting, you are making one of the first mistakes and it’s not your fault. We’re taught that structure limits our freedom and that couldn’t be further from the truth. With tangible examples and a distinct pattern interrupt, you can rewire how you view your planning process. The second mistake is to start in the wrong place. Many of us are told to choose a financial figure out of the air, name it, claim it, raise our prices and we’ll be laughing our way to the bank. Yeah well, how’s that workin’ for ya? If you think there’s a better way, you’re right. If you don’

As 2018 comes to a close, most business owners become singularly focused on the year ahead, creating promises and expectations for their next best year. However, the piece of the puzzle that most entrepreneurs forget is a crucial element to a winning equation: The Annual Audit. You must slow down to speed up. You must reflect on what happened in the past to create new possibilities in the future. In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing my own proprietary audit process. As much as I’ve enjoyed sharing this with my clients, it’s a proven process that I use to reflect, track and plan my own business and life endeavors as well. The first step is to rate the 8 most important areas of your life. I’ll explain why scoring them in this way is so effective, what perspective it brings to your life and where to focus your attention in the future to increase your overall fulfillment. Next, there are 10 critical questions to consider at the end of every year. I share these in detail on the episode and in a FREE PDF guide avail

If you’re an entrepreneur struggling to balance your business, passions, hobbies or ideas, this episode is for you. If you’ve ever felt scatterbrained, unfocused or not taken seriously because you change direction so often, you’ll want to listen to this one.   As a multi passionate entrepreneur myself, I know how hard it can be to decide which passion is a business and which is a hobby. In this episode, I share 6 tips and resources to help you feel focused and confident in the decisions you’re making and projects you’re pursuing. If you’ve been seeking the solution to “work-life balance,” you’ll want to listen for insight #2. I walk you through a simple exercise to determine if you’re headed in the right direction. You’ll also understand what to do with the ideas or hobbies that aren’t designed to be standalone businesses. Don’t make the mistake of throwing these away or putting them on the back burner to be forgotten. Learn how to incorporate them in a way that feels aligned and strategic. If you are a multi

Just last week, I embarked on a new adventure that began with uprooting my life in San Francisco. As my plans crystallized, these six simple truths emerged as important opportunities for growth. I wanted to share these with you in hopes that they inspire a new conversation about how we’re choosing to live our lives. If you’re a people pleaser or someone who’s always quick to help others, you’ll want to listen to this episode. If you regularly second guess yourself, feel indecisive or worry that you’ll make the wrong decision, this episode is for you. If you feel bogged down, stuck or stifled in one area of your life or business, please tune into this episode. I’m excited to announce a new segment of the show that will allow us to connect in a deeper, more impactful way.

There are many things people don’t tell you about podcasting, or growing a community in general. No one wants to burst your bubble of excitement, but it’s about time someone got honest about it. After 52 weeks of episodes, I’m opening up about my podcasting perils and ah-has. From pride to disappointment and flow to stagnation, this episode highlights it all. Not only that, but I want to invite you behind the scenes for some of the BIG changes coming to the Unbecoming community! Cheers to a successful year of Unbecoming. Here’s to another 52 weeks and beyond! Thank you for being such a significant part of this journey.

To celebrate our 1 year podcast-aversary, I’ve invited my good friend, Amy Porterfield, to the show to spill her guts on the successes and struggles of being an entrepreneur. However, this episode is not about strategy. It’s not about list building tools or sales tips. It’s a vulnerable conversation with one of my favorite, the most authentic business owners in the industry. So, if you’ve ever wondered what “successful people” REALLY look like behind the scenes… Or found yourself searching for a positive, down-to-earth role model, this episode is a must-listen! Amy Porterfield is an online marketing expert, educator and the host of the top-ranked podcast, Online Marketing Made Easy. She’s worked with mega brands like Harley Davidson and with Tony Robbins, where she oversaw the content development team and collaborated on groundbreaking online marketing campaigns. Through her popular marketing programs, thriving social media community and podcast, Amy inspires a grounded, tangible and self-affirming way of suc

If you’ve ever struggled to gain traction or grow your online presence, this episode is for you. If you constantly feel like your marketing efforts are falling short, you may be one slight shift away from massive exposure and an influx of new clients. The truth is there’s never been a better time to build an online business. However, your online brand can either be your strongest asset, or your greatest liability, and true branding is so much more than the colors and fonts on your website. When you’re able to tell your story in a compelling way that helps people, a personal brand is born. My intention for this episode is to radically change the way you think about your brand moving forward, because at the core, building a successful business can be boiled down to these two simple questions that I discuss on this episode. To take it one step further, I explain an exercise that I take my coaching clients through to help them uncover their deepest truths to these questions. The answers could be the catalyst you’

Recently, I had a GREAT idea for a new 2019 project and realized that not many people share their own creative process, so I thought it might be helpful. This episode is for you if you too have a great idea but don’t know how to action it or what to do next. If you’re still waiting for inspiration to strike, this one will get those juices flowing. On this episode, I walk you step-by-step through the exact 10-step process that I use to develop new ideas and projects, along with the critical conversations to have and questions to ask. You’ll understand how to capture and grow the idea and then get it into action by reverse-engineering the process, in the right order. You don’t need to memorize the steps - I’ve created a PDF that you can download for free here! If you like what we’re talking about on the podcast, please leave a review by clicking here.

If you’ve reached a plateau in your life or business and are ready to uncover (and take action on) what’s next, this episode is for you. Unbecoming was made for people like Kelsey Ramsden. She’s a woman on a mission with a powerful message and a level of mastery that is as equally impressive as it is inspiring. Kelsey Ramsden has twice been named Canada’s #1 female entrepreneur for her businesses in construction and real estate development, building roads, bridges, airports and communities. She is the author of The Success Hangover, hostess of The Futureproofing Podcast, and Internationally-recognized speaker. Forbes says Kelsey is a master builder of ideas, businesses and futures, but she says she is just a good, no BS mix of book and street smarts. Either way, the results speak for themselves, and Kelsey is all about results. You may be surprised to know that people are often intimidated by how “ultra-serious” Kelsey can be, but on this episode, you’ll get a deeper look into her hilarious attitude, incredib

I’m back on the mic for the first solo show in months - and I could not be more excited! I’ve got some BIG news for you today…. First, you’ll hear about my travel adventures since my last solo show in July - the VERY last minute adventure overseas, a meaningful trip to NYC, my celebrity status in Austin and a multi-state road trip with friends. Finally, you’ll hear how I’m “moving forward” and the real reason that I am calling this newest season of the podcast, Free Flow. I’m in the process of making some major life decisions, and I’d love your feedback on the ideas I have. I’m so grateful for everything this community stands for and feel incredibly lucky to share my life with you each week.

How often do you feel the pressure to do more in your life and business? And if you knew exactly what to do or how to do it, you’d be first in line or have done it already? Today’s guest, Melinda Wittstock, is proof that you can have big goals without needing to know how to accomplish them. The problem is not that we can’t achieve what we set out to do, it’s that we play it safe on naming and claiming our big goals.

The host of the daily WINGS of Inspired Business, Melinda’s moonshot goal is to invest $10M+ in the next 10 years in evolved impact businesses run by women and catalyze an ecosystem where women invest in each other.

A lot of people talk about spontaneity and flow, yet only a few people actually live it. Jackie Knechtel is one of those people, and someone I’m really proud to have on the show. In this episode, you’ll hear why Jackie is passionate about travel, loves connecting with new people and has never stopped learning or growing, through even the darkest times. She is an adventurer, super-connector, and pioneer in the area of flow.  She is the co-founder of the Flow Consciousness Institute which offers cutting edge training programs, workshops and retreats, and delivers transformational experiences worldwide.

If you’re a multi-passionate person looking to step into a new project, a new role, a new relationship or a new business venture, you’ll love this episode with my good friend, Berit Coleman. In this episode, Berit and I discuss evolving identity, intentional parenting, deep relationships, business pivots and more. Berit co-founded a web development firm in the late 1990’s, and shortly after co-founded Affinity Lab, the first and longest operating co-working space in the world. After selling the business in late 2015, she focused on being a full-time mom to her two young sons. When she’s not watching her boys and spending time with her husband Joey, Berit is a freelance editor of both fiction and non-fiction books, as well as working on new projects of her own. In this episode, Berit shares where her entrepreneurial journey began, and how she now uses similar systems to project manage her family which, contrary to popular belief, actually gives them more freedom. You’ll learn about her family’s worldly adventu

This week, I’m discussing important topics like community, parenting, adventure and identity with my good friend, Kandis Gaignard. Kandis Gaignard is the co-founder and Chief High-Touch of MMT, an invite-only event for high-level entrepreneurs. She also has an editing business and a real passion for helping people get their message out into the world. In this episode, Kandis opens up about how she has learned to embrace the journey and celebrate where she is now. Like most entrepreneurs, she dives into her struggles with identity and desire to fit in. Kandis shares how her ability to connect with herself has impacted other important relationships in her life and business. She explains how she prioritizes her non-negotiables as a mother, the morning routines that have changed her life and the importance of supporting herself daily. Kandis is a great example of what Unbecoming is all about. You can follow Kandis on Instagram for keep up with all that she has going on, and learn more about MMT at their website a

Today’s episode with my good friend Emily Nolan was one of the most honest, hilarious and entertaining conversations I’ve had on the show. As UNCW graduates and collegiate athletes, Emily and I connect over much more than just the surface stuff. In fact, we dive right in from the start and her story encourages me to publicly share something I never have before. Her first book, Pretty Brave, will be released soon and you’re going to learn what this whole concept is really about (you can pre-order Emily’s book by clicking here)! In this episode she reveals the behind-the-scenes of her modelling career, including why she stopped and the extreme measures she took to further her career, as well as the four different seasons of her life. Emily also talks about why she felt like such a fraud, and what she did to release the shame she has felt in the past. She shares why radical self-acceptance is so important now that she is a soon-to-be mom, and how she moves her body, or as she calls it, her “Earth Suit”, differs

The world needs more people like Chelsea Dinsmore. In this episode, we’re diving deep into some of my favorite topics: adventure and play, challenging your beliefs and finding a deeper connection with yourself and others. Chelsea is the Owner and Chief Inspiration Officer of Live Your Legend, a community whose mission is to help people align who they are with what they do, so they can live more meaningful lives. What I find so admirable is how Chelsea always challenges her fears, stretches her comfort zones and breaks the rules on what life “should” look like. As someone who has been through some tough events, Chelsea has a unique ability to smile through it and see the bright side of life. She explores where that originates and why the victim state hurts us more than we know. Is happiness is a choice? Is it a realistic goal? Find out what she thinks. One of the best, most impactful segments is her special message at the end of the episode that will challenge your beliefs, as well as her powerful answer to wh
