I'm Bec
and my life's mission is to help tweens and teens have a better experience at school.
About Bec
Over the past 25 years Rebecca Sparrow has earned a living as a travel writer, a television publicist, a marketing executive, a magazine editor, a TV scriptwriter, a radio producer, a newspaper columnist and as an author.
She also talks to thousands of high school students (and their parents!) every year about friendship, resilience, giving back and how to have a more positive experience online.
Take A Breath.
My website isn’t just a place where you can read my bio and buy my books or request me for your school. It’s a place where you can take a breath. Read some stories, listen to some podcasts, discover a few ideas or tools you hadn’t thought of before and leave - I hope - feeling uplifted.
Away from this page, I’m an aunty and a godmother to several tween and teen girls. But I’d like to think I can also be an unofficial godmother to all those kids out there who need another grownup in their corner offering advice and wisdom and understanding.
Are you ready? Let's get going!
