Beauty As Resistance
In Episode 105 of the Exhale Podcast, we’re chatting with writer, poet, and longtime Coffee + Crumbs friend Becky Morquecho. Becky is also the Coffee + Crumbs podcast producer and Exhale content manager, and she plays an essential role in the behind-the-scenes work that brings this community to life.
Becky has a gift for putting words to the tender, complicated, and beautiful parts of life—including motherhood, grief, faith, friendship, and the small moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. In this episode, she shares how motherhood has shaped her practice of paying attention, what it means to “forage for hope” without forcing optimism, and how noticing beauty can become an act of resistance. We also talk about social media, making room for transformation, and what she would say to the mother-artist whose inner life feels buried beneath responsibility, grief, or noise.
Bio: Becky is an author, poet, and former podcast host who lives in a rural town in Southern California with her husband, daughter, and goldendoodle. God has given her the unceasing assignment of noticing beauty in the world—and her life—even when it’s not so obvious, and she writes about those things often. Besides words, Becky’s other loves include Jesus, thrifting, pointing out bougainvilleas, and standing at the edge of the ocean.
