I am Beccy
granddaughter, daughter, Mother
A wild Woman,
A lover of cacao,
a gatherer of people,
a woman still becoming
Come sit with me a while.
Bring your cup, bring your stories,
bring the parts of you the world asked you to hide.
Here, we remember how to be together.
And in being together, we remember ourselves.
About Beccy
I have been walking this path for over 20 years. Although for the first five of those I had no idea what was happening to me.
I was descending — deep into the darkness, the unknown, falling fast, grasping for anything that would bring back a sense of control. Nothing worked. I was living in a heightened state. Nothing felt safe. I had completely disconnected from my body.
It was Kali who shook me to the core, and she didn't let go until I began to listen to the wisdom within.
I was awakening to truth.
I was no longer able to hold in the trauma, the stories, and the ways that society said I should be. I had always felt like I didn't fit, but I masked and tried to be who others wanted me to be. And my body, heart and soul had had enough.
It was then I felt the pull of the wild. I sensed a flame begin to ignite within my heart and heard the ancient song of the grandmothers. I knew there was so much more.
A whisper returned: you are the medicine.
Wild Ways Woman was born…
From that darkness, I emerged — drawn by a deep calling to help other women step into their own truth. Over time, the women came. We sat together, crying and laughing, sharing cacao and stories. We tied ribbons around the talking stick, a mark of witnessing, of honouring each voice. From these gatherings, a community was woven. A community we continue to be.
But things have changed and I have crossed a threshold into something deeper that I can’t quite describe.
My meeting with Cacao
The first time someone spoke the word cacao, my whole body responded. I hadn’t even tasted her yet. It wasn’t curiosity, it was recognition. A calling.
When I finally sat with her, it felt like coming home.
Cacao didn’t fix me. That’s not what she does. She softened me. She helped me open, gently, to myself and to other people, at a time when I’d forgotten how.
And she is still a constant within my life. Guiding me as a navigate menopause, filling me with her goodness and sharing her with you.
Wild Ways Woman is changing…..
It’s less about me guiding anyone anywhere, and more about simply coming together. Sharing a cup. Listening to each other. Remembering that we were never meant to do this alone.
I believe that when we connect with each other, and with our own hearts, we become more fully ourselves. And cacao is a beautiful companion for that.
And I am being asked to slow down, to stop carrying, and simply to belong.
To be present for my family, to make things with my hands again, and to stop trying to carry everything on my own.
And I’m learning that this is part of the journey too. The not-knowing. The unknown. I don’t have to have it all figured out. I’m trusting that it will reveal itself in its own time.
While I walk this part of the path, I’m doing what fills me up. That’s sharing cacao at Cacao Connection, and creating meditations you can listen to whenever you need them.
Simple things, made with love. And that feels like enough for now.
I don’t know where this path leads, But I trust the Ground beneath My feet.
