    <title>What Future Are You Willing To Wake Up To?</title>
    <description>What Future Are You Willing To Wake Up To? is a podcast for anyone who knows there is more available and is ready to stop waiting for life to change.

Hosted by author, speaker, entrepreneur, and creator Becky Vannes, this show explores the questions, choices, stories, and daily practices that help you create your life with more awareness, possibility, energy, receiving, and ease.

Each episode invites you to look at what you are choosing, what old patterns may be running your life, and what future you are willing to begin creating now. Through solo reflections, guest conversations, personal stories, and practical questions, Becky brings you back to your own knowing, your own power, and your own capacity to choose again.

This is not about getting life perfect.
It is not about fixing yourself.
It is about becoming aware, choosing differently, and creating a future that feels more like you.

So take a breath, stay curious, and ask yourself:

What future are you willing to wake up to?</description>

      <title>What If Your Future Self Is Already Calling You?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3><strong>What If Your Future Self Is Already Calling You?</strong></h3>
<p>Have you ever felt a future calling you before you had any idea how to create it?</p>
<p>Maybe it arrived as a desire you couldn't dismiss. Maybe it felt like restlessness. Maybe it was simply a question that kept returning, even when you didn't yet know the answer.</p>
<p>In this episode, Becky explores one of the most powerful discoveries she has made: your future doesn't always begin with certainty. More often, it begins with awareness.</p>
<p>Together, you'll explore what it means to recognize those quiet invitations, why waiting for complete clarity can keep us standing still, and how one simple choice today can begin creating a different tomorrow.</p>
<h3>In this episode, you'll discover:</h3>
<p>• Why your future rarely begins with a complete plan.<br>
 • How to recognize the quiet invitations that are already showing up in your life.<br>
 • The difference between waiting for certainty and choosing from awareness.<br>
 • How one choice today can begin creating the future you're asking for.</p>
<h3>Reflection Question</h3>
<p><strong>What keeps returning that you haven't yet been willing to acknowledge?</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps your future isn't waiting for you to have all the answers.</p>
<p>Perhaps it's simply asking you to notice what's already calling.</p>

      <itunes:summary>Today&apos;s Discovery

Your future doesn&apos;t always begin with certainty. More often, it begins with a quiet awareness that invites you to choose something different. In this episode, Becky explores how recognizing that invitation—and acting on one simple choice—can begin creating the future you&apos;re asking for.

That small change would be very &quot;Becky.&quot; It subtly reinforces your signature language of discovery every time someone visits an episode page, helping listeners associate your podcast with curiosity, awareness, and possibility. I think it&apos;s one of those little branding details that becomes powerful over time.</itunes:summary>

      <title>What If It’s Not Too Much?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><i><strong>What if it’s not too much?</strong></i></p>
<p>What if the fear, the power, the receiving, the expansion, and the future you are asking for are not actually too much?</p>
<p>What if you are simply learning to hold more?</p>
<p>In this episode, Becky Vannes shares a raw and personal reflection from her journey with Fred, her off-the-track Thoroughbred horse, and the moments where fear, presence, and trust meet in real time.</p>
<p>Through her experience with Fred, Becky explores what happens when the body says, “This is too much,” and how those moments may actually be invitations into deeper awareness, more presence, and a greater capacity to receive.</p>
<p>This conversation is about the places where we judge ourselves, shrink back, or decide something is too big before asking a different question.</p>
<p>Is this really danger?<br>
 Or is this expansion?<br>
 Is this wrong?<br>
 Or is this more energy than I am used to holding?</p>
<p>Becky also shares how the tools from her books, What Future Are You Willing To Wake Up To?™ and Begin Before You Feel Ready, have become part of her real-life practice — not as concepts, but as daily choices she applies in the moments when fear, growth, and becoming feel raw and uncomfortable.</p>
<p>In this episode, you are invited to ask:</p>
<p>What am I aware of right now?<br>
 Can I be present for one more breath?<br>
 What choice is available to me right now?<br>
 What else is possible here?<br>
 What future am I willing to wake up to today?</p>
<p>This episode is for the moments when something in your life feels too intense, too powerful, too emotional, too visible, or too much.</p>
<p>Maybe it’s not too much.</p>
<p>Maybe you are not too much.</p>
<p>Maybe the future you are asking for is simply inviting more of you to show up.</p>

      <title>What If You Had Nothing To Prove? Riding, Fear, and Learning to Trust Yourself</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><i><strong>What if you had nothing to prove?</strong></i></p>
<p>In this episode of <i><strong>What Future Are You Willing To Wake Up To?</strong></i>, Becky Vannes shares a deeply personal realization that began in the saddle and opened into something much bigger.</p>
<p>After noticing how often she judged her riding, her seat, her form, and whether she was “doing it right,” Becky began to see the deeper pattern underneath the perfectionism. It was not really about riding. It was about approval, validation, safety, childhood fear, and the younger part of her that wanted to know, “Am I okay? Am I safe? Do I belong here?”</p>
<p>Becky reflects on growing up around unpredictability, how that shaped her nervous system, and why riding horses can bring up old patterns around control, safety, and trust.</p>
<p>Through her relationship with Fred and Mr. Nova, she explores what horses can teach us about presence, leadership, connection, and learning to trust ourselves in the unknown.</p>
<p>This episode also connects back to the heart of Becky’s work, including her 100-day workbook, <i><strong>What Future Are You Willing To Wake Up To?</strong></i> and the companion book, <i><strong>Begin Before You Feel Ready</strong></i>. The book is the conversation. The workbook is the practice. And this episode is one of those real-life moments where the practice becomes lived awareness.</p>
<p>In this episode, Becky explores why perfectionism can be a search for safety, how childhood unpredictability can show up in adult life, what it means to protect yourself now, and the powerful question:</p>
<p>What would I focus on if I had nothing to prove?</p>
<p>This is a heartfelt conversation about riding, healing, awareness, choice, embodiment, inner child work, and learning to stop proving so you can come back to connection.</p>

<p>Becky reflects on growing up around unpredictability, how that shaped her nervous system, and why riding horses can bring up old patterns around control, safety, and trust.</p>
<p>Through her relationship with Fred and Mr. Nova, she explores what horses can teach us about presence, leadership, connection, and learning to trust ourselves in the unknown.</p>
<p>This episode also connects back to the heart of Becky’s work, including her 100-day workbook, <i><strong>What Future Are You Willing To Wake Up To?</strong></i> and the companion book, <i><strong>Begin Before You Feel Ready</strong></i>. The book is the conversation. The workbook is the practice. And this episode is one of those real-life moments where the practice becomes lived awareness.</p>
<p>In this episode, Becky explores why perfectionism can be a search for safety, how childhood unpredictability can show up in adult life, what it means to protect yourself now, and the powerful question:</p>
<p>What would I focus on if I had nothing to prove?</p>
<p>This is a heartfelt conversation about riding, healing, awareness, choice, embodiment, inner child work, and learning to stop proving so you can come back to connection.</p>
