Becky Allen
What's my purpose? How can I overcome adversity? Can I find joy in hardship? How can I become my best self? How do I win each day? What’s my perspective? What motivates me? What do I value?
Welcome to the Win the Day Productions Podcast where we will answer ALL of these questions and so much more! Your host, Becky Allen is on a mission to help others become the best version of themselves. Each week we'll discover how people are wired, how they process the world and how their strengths can be used to win each day.
Can you imagine how differently we would walk out our days if we understood our true value? Can you imagine the collective compound effect of living life this way?
Now that looks different for all of us but together we’ll learn how to live the life we’re called to.

I always hoped I would find love again but I started to doubt if I ever would. The desire in my heart grew in the waiting but so did my loneliness and frustration. Was God hearing my prayers? How much longer would I need to wait? Was I asking for too much? Did God have a plan for me to love someone?
And then one day Jesse walked into my life and the questions I had been asking started to get answered. God was making sense out of nonsense, no detail overlooked. God had been crafting and curating a love story, in His perfecting timing, and wait that now felt worth it.
In this episode Jesse and I talk about:
- A full surrender that lead to finding and falling in love
- Dating from a male’s perspective
- The evolution of dating from your teens to adulthood
- God’s refinement in the waiting
- What it's like dating a widow
- The benefits and challenges of long distance dating
- Dating with intentionality
Show notes.
33 and widowed.
Something I never thought would be part of my story. I found love at a young age and skipped over the whole dating scene. I never imagined I'd be in the dating pool in my mid 30s after my husband Daryn passed away.
I am absolutely, 100% the anti expert in dating but I hope that my experiences can provide the same survival guide of sorts that others have given me. Dating has been nothing like what I expected it to be. I remember feeling so clueless and awkwardly learning my way through the world of dating apps, first dates and meeting new people.
It's been hard (like really hard) but also a crash course in learning so much about myself, what I was really looking for and trusting God with the outcome (that last one has been real tricky if I'm being honest...).
In this (vulnerable) episode I talk about:
- What I learned from my marriage to Daryn and how it kept my heart open to love again
- Navigating dating apps and awkward first dates
- Overcoming heart ache when things aren't as they seem
- Lonely nights and feeling left behind
- Guarding your heart in the waiting
- The check list of what I finally learned to look for
- What 90 days of surrender taught me and led me to (hint...who it led me to ;) )
Show Notes.
I wondered if I would ever come to a resting spot. Life has been moving in warp speed but also slow motion, constant chaos and heaviness. But also so much growth and refinement. So much leaning into God and learning about the depths of me through the depth of my creator.
But then one day, ever so slowly the fog lifts. It’s so subtle and drawn out you don’t even notice it at first. The momentum slows and your world opens up again. The corners aren’t as jagged. The pain isn’t as drastic. The breaths aren’t as shallow.
I’m ok?!
I’m ok.
It’s been so long since I felt this feeling. I want to close my fists around it but I know the secret is keeping them open to it.
Tune in now as I share about moving into a new season, a new relationship and new roles as I reflect back on where I've been and where God's brought me now. Not because of anything I did or because I was deserving but because that’s what God does: He remakes. He renews. He rebuilds. He restores.
Show Notes.
A few years ago I was in one of my lowest moments. I was heartbroken and bitter and really, really angry. I felt like God had forgotten about me. I was in my quiet time and came across the question “When all I feel is darkness and everything in life feels hard, where are you?”.
I sat back, crossed my arms and thought to myself, “Yeah, seriously God! Where are you?!”.
The answer I found will not only surprise you but help you in the middle of your storm.
In this episode I share:
- The mantra I used to walk me through my hardest seasons
- Where God is in the middle of your storm
- How to find peace and reassurance when life feels anything but that
- Cultivating a 30,000 foot perspective
- How to move from a 'this' moment to a 'that' moment

Tragedy struck 5 years ago when Kristin lost her son, Will, in a fatal car accident. You can imagine the pain and ache that stuck a mother’s heart, her world never the same.
In this episode Kristin shares the gift of Will’s short, yet full, life and pain that’s been left in his absence. A heavy handed cocktail of trauma and grief, and yet the hope of Heaven never so real and the presence of God so near.
Listen now to hear Kristin authentically share about:
- The comfort and peace she found in God
- How to care for a loved one who’s grieving
- Grief’s earned stripes
- Lessons learned in grief how it’s forever changed her

Mike’s faith has always played a role in his life but it wasn’t until he lost his mom to cancer in 2013 that his faith became a lifeline. Grief can bring clarity and alignment in ways nothing else can. With a new found depth of faith and purpose, Mike used life’s hard things to ask ‘what’ rather than ‘why’. After a series of events Mike, along with his brother in law, founded PATH apparel.
PATH aims to make a difference in the lives of those around us by sharing the good news about Jesus and helping to support those in need all around the world. It reminds us there is purpose in our story and what we go through. One day, on earth or in Heaven, we will look back and see how God was always weaving things together for His good.
Listen now to hear Mike and I’s conversation about finding purpose through pain and turning to our faith in life’s most difficult moments. Mike’s perspective, attitude and faith will help you see even though life isn’t easy we have a savior we can turn to for guidance, peace, strength and hope. Our relationship with Jesus provides the perseverance we need to overcome the hurdles we face in life.
Mike is the Owner and Co-Founder of PATH Apparel, Husband and Father of 3 girls. His purpose for launching PATH Apparel was to create a Christian lifestyle brand that sparks conversations and creates opportunities to share the good news about Jesus.

Unlovable by Morey Ostlund is memoir meets how-to guide. In her book and this podcast she shares her story of childhood abandonment, sexual abuse and growing up in the foster system.
This early childhood trauma led her down a path of self-sabotage and destruction, desperately seeking to fill the void in her heart with men, acceptance, status, and alcohol. At 40, Morey seemed to have it all by the world’s standards, but still felt empty. Facing a second divorce, she finally came to the end of herself.
When Morey quit searching for love in all the wrong places and took a chance on God, He was able to heal all her broken pieces.
Listen now to hear Morey candidly share her struggles, getting raw, real, and vulnerable about everything from sexual abuse to domestic violence and even adultery. This conversation is for anyone who knows there HAS to be a better way to do life but doesn’t know how to go about it.

Lainey was born with grit. My dad jokes she part bull dog. I knew from the moment she was born she wasn't to be messed with. Her ability to double down when things get hard and continue to push through is as uncommon as it is inspiring.

If that's you, then be sure to listen to this episode! Dawson's advice in this podcast will help you find a plan to connect to your faith for the first time or perhaps find a new way to connect with forgotten habits or elements of your faith journey.

- How to fight back with prayer and praise

I can feel it. It’s starting to bubble over. The momentum of this lie keeps growing much like a top spinning faster and faster. I didn’t even notice it at first but now it’s taking over. Where did it come from? How did it start? How did it get this out of control? And most importantly, how do I make it stop?
If you struggle with negative thinking like me than perhaps it's time for a thought life overhaul. I am not who I think I am or how others see me. I am who God says I am. If it's not God's truth about you than it's got to go.

Small steps, over time create change. Change doesn’t create itself in the snap of a finger or the wave of a magic wand. We can’t transform overnight. We have to engage with the process. And before we can even do that we have to decide to engage in the process. We have to choose to choose different.
But what does the process of transformation look like? How do we create actual lasting change and not a circular process that ‘starts again on Monday’?
Tune in now to hear Becky discuss the four steps to create meaningful change that lasts: decide, purpose, plan and engage.

The last two years of this podcast have been an autobiography of sorts, sharing intimate parts of my journal pages and opening my heart up with what’s really going on. The goal of each episode is to give you a behind the scenes look at my biggest struggles and greatest fears. My proudest moments and grandest adventures. It’s been a collection of my favorite stories and people.
A memoir if you will. An evolution of what this beautiful, messy, complicated, brilliant, broken life can look like if you get back up after you fall. Sometimes it takes a few counts, but I promise you life is better off the mat and in the fight.
Tune in now as I look back and share the top three life lessons I've learned since this podcast began:
- Just start!
- It's ok to change.
- Don't overthink it.

The world of technology, cell phones and social media is quick evolving and fast moving. And addicting. It's far different from the world I grew up in, and more than likely yours too.

Growth doesn't show or add up overnight, it's a process. And then one day it happens. You'll see or feel cumulative growth added up over time and you won't fit where you used to.

If we’re not careful expectations can breed a conditional love. I don’t want to be on the giving or receiving end of a conditional love because it’s exhausting, restricting and insecure.
What would it look like to mirror the love that God so freely gives? What if the love offered built roots and substance not fleeting feelings?What if we reflected God’s love that offers rest, grace and freedom to come as you are?
If we really accept the fullness of life and depth of love God offers, it will change the way we live out our life.

How? Because I’ve been there.
You felt the weight of it today. I can see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice. Every step you took, every thought you had, it was hard to escape. Breathing became a conscious decision. Each moment of today felt like it moved in slow motion.
BUT.

If we turn up the volume on silence what will it reveal? What if silence speaks of our hurts and lonely spaces? What if silence offers clarity or healing? What if silence speaks of grace and God’s love? What if silence offers exactly what we are lacking? When silence speaks I want to fight back with distractions. My day finally offers me rest but I can’t take it up on the offer. It’s like a friend who offers a sincere compliment only for me to quickly dismiss it. Why are we so scared of what silence has to say?

I don't recognize the woman I was a year ago. It's true. And I'm so proud to say that. But it didn't come without it's fair share of lessons and hard things. But you know what? God walked me through to the other side every time. Every high, every low all building toward this version of me.

- Listen to your gut
- You need people
- God wants you to know the things

Dear Future Self, I know you're tired of waiting (still) and losing hope (again). I know it doesn't look like how you thought it would and isn't coming as fast as you'd like it to. But God.
If God said it and he is faithful to see it through. It's coming! Your wait will end!
This podcast is a note to my future self when I am growing weary in the waiting. I'm not new to the waiting game and I know you’re not either.

BUT...the truth is you are not alone! There are people waiting to connect with you, know you and to hear your story. We are who we surround ourselves with but that also requires us to put ourselves in a place to be seen. We are wired for relationships!

My word for 2022 found me loud and clear a few months ago: NEW.
In order to make room for new, we have to completely empty ourselves of our old stories, expectations, attitudes and behaviors that don't serve us moving forward. Because if any part of my capacity is filled with old I have less room to receive the fullness of God's new and best plan for me.
It's scary to let go of what you know and what's grown comfortable but once I did I had peace but also an excitement. Excitement because I knew I was stepping into a new season where I was finally walking out the story I was always meant for.
Tune in to hear how I'm starting this NEW season God showed me with all past hurt, chaos, stress and distractions eliminated so I can now walk in a NEW way.
It’s a NEW season. It’s a NEW day and I can’t wait to see what God is going to do with this new seed.
Who is ready to step into a NEW season with me?

Vulnerability. That was my word for 2021.
I cringed when God brought this word up in me a year ago. Emotional exposure? No thanks. Hard pass. But every time I shut down the word it only got louder and louder, making it ever so obvious this was exactly what I needed to work on.
I've spent my entire life protecting myself from the very word. I shut others out. I built a wall around my heart and a safe around my emotions. I tucked away my most inner thoughts and desires and ignored their very existence. But this year that all changed.
Listen now to hear how vulnerability lead me to my biggest year of growth, transformation and breakthrough.

Happy Thanksgiving friends!
Can I be honest? I didn't want to make this podcast...gratitude was feeling more like a forced smile. But I knew that was the very reason I needed make it.
I’m not naive to hard things. My passport has the stamps to prove it, just like yours probably does. I know the weight of hardship and all consuming hurt. Holidays can bring out the tender places and resurface our stories with twisted endings. Perhaps this year being thankful is the last thing you feel like subscribing to. Maybe being surrounded by family and friends with different stories than you feels cruel. Or maybe loneliness feels like it’s taking you out at the knees. Friend, I see you and I hear you. We can’t run from our stories and we can’t erase our feelings.
It's not one or the other, it's both/and.

So many of us have stories with unresolved endings. The desires of our heart have gone unfulfilled to this point. No baby to hold, broken relationships, unhealed sickness, loneliness, lack of financial provision…it’s just not the hand of life we wanted dealt to us.
We can get stuck in the 'whys'....Why is my story different than I thought it would be? Why is this happening to me? Why won’t others move towards me?
It's challenged me to think, where is my source of joy? Have I placed it in circumstances instead of something dependable, reliable, consistent? Listen in and join the conversation with me as we talk about if it's all stripped away can it still be good?

I don’t fit in. I’m always overlooked. I feel so alone. No one sees me. I wish I had someone I could talk to that gets it. I don’t belong anywhere. Nobody understands me.
I feel out of sorts, invisible even. Every part of my story that’s led me here now points to my not belonging here. I wonder if it’s as obvious to me as it is to everyone else? I try to bury the thought but the emptiness has got my head twisted. It follows me around like a shadow. The lonely, sinking feeling always lurking over my shoulder to remind me that my pieces don’t fit like everyone else’s do.

I’m so behind. Everyone else has it figured out. What will other people think? How many likes and reactions will this post get? Everyone expects me to have it all figured out. What does everyone else think I should do?
I fell victim to an invisible belief system years ago.
The lie that ‘everyone’s watching’ speaks to the disease of people pleasing. We don’t just want people to watch, we want them to approve. We want applause and affirmation. We want to win others over with our highlight reel and hope they don’t notice the filters, editing and camera angles it took to produce the false product.

Consuming, isn’t it? To be caught on a loop that plays your mistakes over and over, frozen in a former world that hurts every time you touch it.

Does your mindset need a reset?
An unchecked thought life can be an incredibly destructive weapon. A lie is so sneaky. It starts small and grows slowly over time. We get used to hearing and believe these lies that they become comfortable, normal almost. We form mindsets around them and start to claim these lies as truth when really the lie is keeping us from our actual truth, God's truth.
What lies have you grown to believe? What are your most dominate thoughts? Who in your life can help you speak to the lies when you can't trust your mindset? What does God say about who you are?
Join me and 'self proclaimed' mindset expert Jason Pannell and we learn how to detect a lie, administer truth and build a different mindset.

Have you ever experienced an ‘emotional check point’? A déjà vu moment of sorts that totally catches you off guard? Something triggers a memory from your past and it all comes flooding back?
I was traveling home recently and I had an emotional check point hit me like a brick wall. The old feelings, stress, anxiety, heaviness and weight of life in that season came flooding back. It took everything I had to breathe and pray through the moment.
Moments later I was in the sky looking out my window with tears streaming down my cheeks. I let myself feel that moment but there was more. I couldn’t help but see the growth and the woman I’ve become over the last 3 years since that day. I couldn’t help but wonder what my 30,000 foot view of my life looked like?

That dream that no matter the doing, distractions and best efforts to ignore, it remains, buried but still alive?

We can’t know the sand that’s left in our hourglass. We don’t know what tomorrow holds or how the rest of our days will unfold. So let's allow joy, build in room for adventure, leave space for spontaneity. Don’t let your ‘someday’ never arrive.
We can ‘someday’ our entire life away. Our busyness can keep us from the fullness of really living. We can delay promises to ourselves and those we care about and soon enough time has slipped and ‘someday’ never comes.

Michael and Tasha have felt called to adopt for 5 years but the expectations of their calling have played out much differently than they could have ever known. Busted plans, broken hearts, failed connections, emotional wounds and even giving back a baby that was laid in their arms and brought into their home.
But even still they have hoped for more. That their story isn't over. And in the waiting and in the grey space God continues to shape and mold their hearts to be more like his.
We can fall into a perception that sadness is weak and emotions aren't safe. We have these stories in our head that need to be undone. We have to let go of our unnecessary 'emotional rules’.
Michael and Tasha remind us through their story that no matter the outcome, known or not, it's not a mistake to love. Even when love ends in a broken heart it's not a mistake to love because God uses experiences like this to expand our heart.
Tune in now to hear how Michael and Tasha share can surrender our exceptions and hold on to hope even in the dark.

I know I have and I can't be the only one. It's human nature to look for reasons and answers to questions that we may never know this side of Heaven. Growth, joy, grit, character, grace, empty are all available to us in the suck. The suck grows us, it builds us. But before we can step into the fullness of those offerings, we must first embrace the suck.

Do things feel heavy right now? Are you overwhelmed and feeling lost? Do you remember what used to bring your joy? What is fueling your energy levels right now?
It’s easy to notice the hard things right now, especially when it feels like there’s many options to choose from. However now more than ever, I believe we need to be incredibly selective on what we are focusing on. We can’t do it all. In fact, if you’re like me, you need to do less. Feel like you’re not doing anything well? (Raises hand) Take that as a sign to sift and simplify.

Brandon LaRue of Well Built Humans is a man of passion and integrity. He is passionate about health and fitness but his interests have spilled over into many other areas including coaching, mentorship of young athletes and most recently an author.
Well Built Humans is Brandon’s outlet for his passions where they can be blended and used to help others reach their full potential. He aims to help others be ‘well built’ in their faith, as a person, partner, leader, community member.
Brandon and his wife Jenny have 3 children: Brooks, Livia and Bradie. Their second child, Livia, was born with a mutated gene that disrupts the potassium distribution in her body leaving her with low muscle tone and delayed cognitive development.
Ever since Livia was born, Brandon noticed her ways of communicating were special and the lessons she wanted to share were plentiful and profound so he started writing about them. As he shared Livia’s lessons with others, people were moved and kept promoting Brandon to write a book…and he did.
Special Strength: Lessons from Livia is a collection of 20 different lessons that will challenge you, soften you and stir something in you to look at the world in a new way.
Livia has taught Brandon, and soon many others, the power of surrendering the outcome and living in the moment. When you release control you are free to take the moments as they come and excuse yourself from the anticipate of anxious moments and unknown obstacles.
Through Livia’s life and a grounding faith that covers all circumstances, hope continues to fuel Brandon & Jenny’s family and perspective. Hope continues to move and inspire their gaze towards eternity.

There is absolutely nothing about living through grief that is enjoyable. Living in grief feels like trudging through molasses, everything feels heavy and life moves in slow motion. I’m no stranger to living through events with unknown details, constantly reshuffled plans and a what feels like a roulette of outcomes. Maybe you’ve been there before too? Nothing is familiar. It’s maddening, isn’t it? What was once a sense of security now feels like a ghost haunting you about what may never be again. The rollercoaster of emotions can feel much like a boxing match, absorbing blow after blow until you start to become unconscious to it all.
Our world is in a state of grieving right now. School, work and church are happening online, at home. Social calendars have been cleared. Jobs in jeopardy, relationships strained, finances stretched. Our routines and schedules have been stripped and nothing feels familiar. We feel the weight of it all, don’t we? It’s hard. Really, really hard.
I’m the farthest from an expert on grief, but I have been in the ring with it when I lost my husband and became a widow at 33 years old. From the little that I know and all that I’ve done wrong, I want my mistakes to be a lesson to you. I want to encourage you as best I can in this season.
