In this special weekend edition of the Richard Listens Podcast, host Richard sits down with Becca Alvarado—a trainer, athlete, and storyteller from Arizona—whose passion for poetry and spoken word is shaping a powerful creative journey. Becca shares the story behind her upcoming book, Rainbows and Demons: An Anthology of Human Antics, a deeply personal 5–6 year project that weaves together original poetry and hand-crafted illustrations.
The conversation explores the balance between discipline and creativity, as Becca reflects on maintaining physical strength through early morning workouts while nurturing her artistic voice. She opens up about her relationship with running, inspired by her sister’s marathon journey, and how movement fuels both her mindset and creative expression.
Richard and Becca also dive into the importance of human connection—from meaningful interactions at the gym to creating safe spaces through art. Grounded in faith and guided by patience, Becca shares her vision of elevating her craft through music and scriptwriting, with the ultimate goal of reaching Grammy-level recognition in spoken word.
This episode is a powerful reminder that true growth happens when we align discipline, creativity, and purpose into one path.
