Let me show you how.

Download The Next Chapter Kickstart: 5 Steps to Redesign Your Life with Clarity and Courage and start rediscovering the woman you're becoming - one habit, one shift, one empowering step at a time.

Crafting New Beginnings Together


Welcome to a space where your resilience is honored, your journey understood, and your transformation celebrated.


I’m Rebecca Ann, and becoming a widow at 44 completely reshaped my life, forcing me to reevaluate everything I knew. After years in a demanding corporate career, I suddenly found myself standing at a heartbreaking crossroads - grieving deeply and craving support, clarity, and a sense of direction.

When I couldn’t find what I needed, I created Life 2.0 Pep Talks - a podcast offering short bursts of encouragement, empathy and real talk for resilient women navigating their next chapter. That spark of connection reignited my passion for teaching, healing, and helping others move forward..

Today, I offer simple, supportive spaces and tools to help you do just that:

The Redesign Your Life Community - a free space where resilient women gather, connect, and share their stories as they explore what life after loss or major change can look like.

The Mini Habit Makeover - a short, powerful course to help you reset your routine, rebuild your momentum, and feel like you again - one small win at a time.

The Redesign Your Life Toolkit - a practical, printable collection of templates, planners, and habit-building tools designed to give you structure, clarity, and confidence as you move forward.

No matter where you are on your journey, you don't have to figure it all out alone. I'm here, just two steps ahead, cheering you on every step of the way.

You found your Life 2.0 Guide!

life redesign mentor · widow · podcast host(2 Steps ahead - with humour & hope)

Hey there friend, I've walked this path too - and now I'm just two steps ahead, lighting the way.

After years in a demanding corporate career, life as I knew it came to a crashing halt when I became a widow at 44. I found myself navigating the fog of grief, aching for support, clarity, and a roadmap for what comes next.

When I couldn't find what I needed, I created it. First came Life 2.0 Pep Talks - a podcast filled with short bursts of empathy, encouragement, and straight-talking hope. That spark grew into the Redesign Your Life Community - a safe, supportive space where resilient women like you (and me) gather to reconnect, grow, and redesign our next chapters.

Inside the community, you'll find my The Mini Habit Makeover Course, and The Redesign Your Life Toolkit - all packed with practical tools, guided workshops, and encouragement to help you go form stuck to strong.

My mission? To help you reclaim your confidence, redesign your next chapter, and live a life that finally feels like yours again.

"She helped me heal my heart and make positive changes in my life"

After becoming a widow, I completely lost the ability to function as I once did. Then I stumbled on Rebecca's website and for the first time in a lot of years, I was inspired to finally make some positive changes.

Rewriting Traditions - Creating new holidays and meaningful moments

Episode 23: Rewriting Traditions - Creating New Holidays and Meaningful Moments

June 10, 20252 min read

"You don't need permission to rewrite the script - new traditions can honour both your past and your present.” - Rebecca Ann

The Weight of "The Way Things Used to Be"

Holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays can feel like emotional landmines after loss. We try to recreate old traditions.....but they don't feel the same. And trying to force it often leads to more pain.

When I let Go of the Old Script

The first Christmas without Les, I cried more than I celebrated. The year after, I changed everything. I swapped dinner for a beach walk and let joy sneak in on my terms.

How to Create New Traditions

  • Keep the meaning, change the method

  • Do something your person would've loved - just in a new way

  • Try something completely new that feels good for this version of you

You're the Meaning-Maker Now

Traditions are powerful - but only if they bring comfort. If they bring dread or grief spirals, it's okay to shift. It's not about forgetting. It's about living.

Start New Memories with Us

Come share your new rituals inside the Redesign Your Life Community. Together, we're making space for peace, healing, and meaningful moments - without the pressure.

Resources I know You Will Love:

The Mini Habit Makeover - This 5-day mini course is designed to help you reset your routine and build powerful, doable habits - without the overwhelm. You'll get daily video lessons, printable habit trackers, and a fillable workbook to help you take action straight away. Each lesson is short, practical, and designed to fit into your real life (even when things feel messy). By the end of the week, you'll have a clearer routine, renewed energy, and simple tools to help you stay on track. The course is self-paced, so you can complete it on your own time and revisit it whenever you need to recalibrate.

Today's pep talk is powered by my favourite wellness ritual - Tahitian Noni Juice.

It supports energy, immunity, and makes me feel like I'm doing something kind for my body - especially on days when coffee feels like my main food group. By purchasing through my link, you're supporting this podcast and your own well-being.
