Heartbeat For Hire with Lyndsay Dowd

Rebecca (Becca) Kinney, worked in healthcare for 16 years and is a self-proclaimed recovering workaholic.  Today she is a writer and an entrepreneur and owns a small business called Cypress, Inc. that helps medical companies tell their stories on LinkedIn.

In 2018 Becca suffered the unexpected loss of both her parents and the grief is something she wanted to turn into inspiration for others. Leaving corporate medical sales in 2021 was a tough call but Becca has a mission to help professionals truly learn to navigate self discovery.

In January 2023 she started a newsletter called Unraveled that discusses how as professionals, we can begin to unwind and start to express ourselves in a way that is relatable and maybe even a bit unpolished to succeed in ways we never thought possible before.

Together she believes we can unravel and become even more successful than ever before.
