About Becky
I’m really just a girl trying to cultivate a good life and help others in their quest to do the same. My 25-year career in documenting includes more teaching than I can quantify in the form of in-person classes, online classes, published articles and books, blog posts, social media, and our podcast, Cultivate a Good Life. I’m a passionate entrepreneur, hiking enthusiast, and a big fan of organization … but more importantly, I’m a wife, mother to 3, and friend to many.

-
WHO — This mini course is for anyone interested in being the literal author of their own story. No prior experience of any kind is required.
-
WHAT — This is an approach to documenting with a focus on more words and fewer pictures most of the time. We get to the heart of documenting from your HEART with an emphasis on your thoughts, experiences, and personal growth. This is less about other people and more about you and your view of the world.
-
WHEN — Once you have your seat in the mini course you can go through the content ANYtime and completely at your own pace … but if you ask me, there’s no time like the present! You can get through the entire mini course in about 1.5 hours!
-
WHERE — As long as you have an internet connection to log into the classroom, you can be anywhere you’d like to be as you go through the audio + video content.
-
WHY — You are likely missing from the documenting that you’re doing … or maybe you’re not documenting at all (yet). Perhaps you focus on kids or trips. But what about YOU? You, the person … the unique human being with unique experiences, challenges, triumphs, and perspective. Yes, you. It’s time. No one is more equipped to tell your stories than you.

FAQ
-
Q: How long does it take to complete the course?
A: The total length of all the content in this mini course is less than 1.5 hours (less than a typical movie length!) so you can easily get through it all in one sitting, or you’re welcome to spread it out and watch or listen to one lesson at a time. You’ll have unlimited access to the content so you can go at your own pace and come back at any time for a refresher.
-
Q: Do I have to be logged into the classroom at a certain time to participate in lessons?
A: Nope! Our goal is to make this as easy for you as possible. We know everyone’s schedule is different and time zones aren’t always kind when it comes to allowing us the ability to connect in “real time”. For that reason, all lessons in this course are self-paced and available to you all the time. No need to worry that you’ll miss a lesson because you aren’t available. The content will be here when you are.
-
Q: Can I download the video/audio content to my computer or mobile device?
A: The audio + video content are protected within the site and available for listening whenever you’re logged into your account on your computer or mobile device. While you will not be able to download them, you will have access to them indefinitely so you can listen to the content whenever you want.
-
Q: What if I have questions as I work through the course content? Is there a “help desk” of any sort?
A: For tech support in the BH Classroom, email [email protected].
-
