About Us
Get to know Tough Talks & What We’re All About
Tough Talks:
We consider a tough talk a part of life. The difficult conversations. The hot button topics. All the things people don’t like or don’t feel comfortable talking about but desperately need to. It’s part of being human. It’s the focus of why we do what we do.
WHAT we’re about
Our mission
At “Tough Talks with Becca,” we are driven by a profound mission that transcends the superficial interactions and divisive rhetoric that often characterize our digital era. Our unwavering commitment is to break down the barriers that separate us and bring people together in an era of growing disconnection.

Our purpose is clear: to light a beacon of open dialogue and encourage the exploration of diverse perspectives. In a world increasingly fragmented by echo chambers, we believe in the power of listening to the whole story, embracing different points of view, and uniting rather than dividing.

We aim to create a haven where individuals can openly ask the questions that their immediate communities might brand as taboo. Here, everyone, regardless of background or belief, is not only welcomed but also heard and encouraged to evolve and grow over time.
But you might wonder, why are we so passionate about this? We are on a mission to build a just world where future generations thrive, unfettered by the limitations of the past. We are dedicated to helping individuals harness the resources available to them, discover their true potential, and break free from the suffering that has held them back.
Our long-term vision is not about condemning others but empowering everyone. It’s time to usher in a new era of understanding, empathy, and unity, fostering a world where we come together as one, and where the strength of our unity surpasses the divisions of our differences.

how it started
Our History
The story of “Tough Talks with Becca” is a journey of personal transformation, fueled by a passion for open dialogue, empathy, and understanding. Becca Ferguson, the driving force behind our brand, hails from a background that, at first, may seem worlds apart from what we stand for today.
Becca’s formative years began in a toxic, non-autonomous community that left her unaware of the existence of mental health. It was a world marked by closed-mindedness, where tough questions were often met with resistance, judgment, and a reluctance to explore different perspectives.
But, as Becca grew, she embarked on a journey to develop her own unique beliefs and values. Along the way, she realized that her evolving values were tearing her apart from the community she was raised in. She faced questions on how to engage in conversations without fear of being judged or manipulated.
These questions inspired the birth of ‘Tough Talks with Becca.’ Becca recognized the transformative power of healthy conversations and decided to create a space where individuals could ask tough questions without shame. This vision marked the genesis of a brand committed to fostering dialogue, empathy, and unity.
Becca’s background in broadcasting provided her with insights into effective communication, fairness, and the importance of reaching a broad audience. When she transitioned to mental health counseling, she saw the potential to combine her love for broadcasting with her passion for helping people find their true, authentic selves.
As a coach, Becca guides individuals on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment that fosters dialogue and understanding in diverse group settings. She believes that the world has changed dramatically in the past years, with growing divisiveness and a lack of willingness to listen and understand.
Becca’s commitment to creating a more open, empathetic, and united world is unwavering. “Tough Talks with Becca” isn’t just about providing coaching sessions; it’s about being part of a movement for positive change.

Meet Becca
Becca’s life journey is a testament to the transformative power of resilience, self-discovery, and unwavering compassion. Born in Buffalo, New York, but raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, away from her parents’ hometown and extended family, she embarked on a unique path that would ultimately shape her into the empathetic and influential figure she is today.
Becca’s early life was marked by her deep involvement in a conservative Christian church, where she faced a challenging ordeal—a painful experience of abuse by religious leaders. Discovering and labeling the abuse initiated Becca’s early awareness of mental health’s significance. Her newfound perspective shed light on the profound impact that well-intentioned leaders, lacking mental health education and meaningful conversations, can have, leaving enduring emotional scars.
As Becca transitioned into her professional life, she felt a strong calling to help people but struggled with a limited worldview that was influenced by small town life. She decided to immerse herself in the field of counseling, a journey that began with no prior experience. It was in this realm that she discovered her deep passion for teaching and facilitating transformative conversations, particularly in group settings.
Driven by her unwavering commitment to personal and societal growth, Becca expanded her horizons and ventured into the world of coaching. Her decision was profoundly influenced by her mentor, Megan Gunnell, whose impact and reach within the coaching space inspired Becca to embrace this path, recognizing the incredible potential it holds for positively impacting a broader audience.
Today, Becca Ferguson stands as an advocate for mental health, resilience, and the power of open dialogue. Her life’s journey has given her the tools to foster understanding, empathy, and unity in a world that craves such qualities.
