Welcome to B Side Becca. Ever get to what feels like the end of Side A in your life as kids get older, work roles change, parents need you in a different way? You sit in the pause wondering if any B side song could ever be as good as the hit single already played? It takes motivation to keep listening, keep seeking to try new things, and learning.
