Choose on Purpose: Living Boldly & Authentically with Becky Plautz on the Connection Compass Podcast

What happens when a woman stops waiting for permission & starts choosing herself on purpose?

That’s exactly what unfolded during Becky Plautz’s recent guest appearance on the Connection Compass Podcast hosted by Andrea Evans.

In this powerful & deeply reflective conversation, Becky shares her journey from being fired from a retail job at 20 years old… to building a purpose-driven business centered around women’s empowerment, confidence, photography, coaching, podcasting, & authentic connection.

But this conversation goes far deeper than entrepreneurship.

It’s about identity.
Self-trust.
Purpose.
& learning how to reconnect with yourself in a world constantly asking you to move faster.

✨ The Unexpected Beginning

Before becoming the founder of the Choose On Purpose Podcast and creator of transformational empowerment experiences for women, Becky’s journey began with rejection.

After losing a retail job & being told she wasn’t “cut out for customer service,” she found herself sitting in uncertainty, anger, & self-reflection.

What seemed like failure eventually became redirection.

That moment pushed her toward photography, something she had naturally loved since childhood through documenting moments, experiences, & human connection. Over time, that evolved into empowerment boudoir photography, where she discovered her deeper purpose:

Helping women see themselves differently.

Not just through images.
But through identity.

🌿 Confidence Is Built Through Choice

One of the most powerful themes throughout the episode is Becky’s perspective on confidence.

Confidence is not something you magically wake up with.
It’s something you build through willingness, action, reflection, & self-trust.

During the conversation, Becky shares how podcasting initially terrified her. Public speaking felt uncomfortable & vulnerable. Yet by choosing to interview leaders & ask meaningful questions anyway, she slowly built the confidence muscle through repetition & experience.

This mirrors a core message Becky now teaches her clients:

You do not become confident first.
You become willing first.

💛 Why Slowing Down Matters

Another major thread in the conversation centers around slowing down & reconnecting with yourself.

In a world driven by productivity, performance, & constant movement, Becky speaks openly about how easy it is to disconnect from your own truth.

She explains that many people never give themselves enough space to ask:
✨ What do I actually want?
✨ What feels aligned for me?
✨ What kind of life am I trying to build?

& often, the body will speak before the mind catches up.

Becky vulnerably shares moments where stress and misalignment physically manifested in her life through anxiety, overwhelm, & even unexplained hives.

The deeper lesson?

Your body often reveals what your soul already knows.

🎙️ Connection Begins With Self

One of the standout moments from the episode is Becky’s reminder that connection starts internally before it expands outwardly.

As the founder of the virtual community Work On Purpose With Purpose, Becky emphasizes that meaningful connection requires intentionality, reflection, & awareness!

Whether through journaling, reflection practices, gratitude, or asking powerful questions, she believes women strengthen confidence & clarity by reconnecting with themselves first.

Questions like:
💫 “What’s lighting you up today?”
💫 “What are you celebrating?”
💫 “Who was I being this week?”

These simple reflections create awareness around identity, alignment, & growth.

🌿 Living Authentically in a Nonlinear Journey

One of the most refreshing parts of this conversation is the honesty around nonlinear growth.

Becky & Andrea Evans discuss how life often unfolds in unexpected directions, & how many women feel pressure to have everything perfectly mapped out before taking action.

But authentic living rarely looks linear.

It looks like exploration.
Adaptation.
Trying.
Failing.
Learning.
Choosing again.

& perhaps most importantly:
trusting yourself enough to keep moving forward.

✨ The Bigger Invitation

At its heart, this episode is an invitation for women to stop abandoning themselves in the pursuit of perfection.

To slow down enough to hear their own voice again.
To choose purpose over pressure.
& to trust that confidence grows every time they say yes to becoming more of who they already are.

As Becky beautifully shares throughout the conversation:

Growth begins the moment you decide to reconnect with yourself on purpose.
