Über diesen Titel

 On this episode of Groove with Portia, I welcome Becca Pierce, former CEO of the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange and author of a powerful new book centered on self-worth, identity, and life after loss.

Becca opens up about two defining moments that changed everything. The first was a very public career loss that left her grieving the identity she had spent years building. The second came fourteen months later when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and forced to slow down in ways she never had before. Together, these experiences led Becca into a deep season of grief, anger, faith questioning, and ultimately transformation.

We talk honestly about what it means to grieve versions of ourselves that no longer exist, including the loss of professional identity, physical ability, and certainty about the future. Becca shares how recovery challenged her belief that success equals achievement, especially when healing plateaued and progress felt invisible. She reflects on anger as a messenger, grief as a teacher, and optimism as a choice that had to be practiced daily.

This conversation also explores faith, silence, and the courage to listen when life is asking us to change. Becca shares how community support after surgery reshaped her understanding of success, why setting boundaries became essential, and how choosing time with her daughter over career validation redefined her priorities.

We discuss self worth beyond productivity, grief integration, emotional resilience, and the truth that love does not need to be earned. Becca also shares the story behind her book and her mission to help others release the lie that achievement determines value.

If you are navigating grief, identity loss, burnout, or a life transition that forced you to pause, this episode will meet you right where you are.
