Summary
Becky Jensen was that girl with the acne and the crooked teeth. The girl who always felt she had to hide, in order to be accepted.

On this episode, she shares that story. It's a story about one of those tiny moments that ends up having a profound impact on our lives. And it's about learning to accept your own beauty.

| 0:26.6 | Support also comes from Ecosia, a search engine that uses their ad revenue to plant trees. |
| 0:32.6 | Their goal is to plant a billion trees by 2020 in areas that are suffering from deforestation. |
| 0:39.3 | All you have to do to help them reach that goal is start using Ecosia when you search for things online. |
| 0:44.3 | Like instead of always going to Google, you can use Ecosia some or all of the time. |

| 1:04.6 | On this show, we spend a lot of time talking about life-changing moments, about grand experiences that completely shift our perspective on the world. |

So that's the big grandiose lesson, that doing something just for you can be good for those around you, too. But that wasn't the only thing the trail taught Becky. |
| 2:04.2 | Along the way, she had other realizations, some that were more subtle and intimate. |
| 2:10.1 | On today's episode, she shares the story of one of those life-changing moments. |
| 2:14.5 | It's a story about how we see ourselves, and about breaking free of the need to hide who we are. |
