Chelsea Becker is the founder of Becker Editorial, where she helps brands find their voice and tell stories that resonate through intentional, impactful content.
In this exclusive Q&A, she gives us a glimpse into her life as a business owner, mom of two, and beauty enthusiast.
Q. Tell us a bit about yourself!
A. My name is Chelsea Becker and I'm the creator of Becker Editorial - a strategic content agency based in San Diego.
Q. How do you maintain your tan while working full time & being a mom?
A. Effortless is KEY for me. Not only because I'm generally low maintenance, but I'm time poor these days. For me, it's going back and forth between N°32 Tanning Cream & N°14 Conditioning Body Cream every other day. Natural, fool-proof, and hydrating.
Q. What does a typical (or ideal) day look like for you?
A. I wake up around 5:30 and try to get a workout in before the kids wake up. Once they're up, it's a hot mess of getting everyone packed and prepped for the day. I have about 5 seconds to get ready before taking them to school and heading to the office. Most of my work is done virtually, so it's a lot of computer work and calls + lunch meetings a couple times a week. Evenings are all about the kids, unless I'm sneaking away for a date night or girls happy hour, followed by a minimal skincare routine, reading, and a 9 p.m. bedtime.
Q. Which Becker Editorial project are you most proud of and why?
A. We're going on our 10th year so I can't pick! I'm honestly proud of so much and grateful that I get to do what I love every day with clients who have become family - as cheesy as it sounds. I'm always most excited about helping with launches, hitting major goals, and creative branding projects. Helping a client manage a NYT best-seller was pretty cool, too!
Q. What is your favorite part and the biggest challenge of running your own business?
A. Favorite part is the autonomy & being able to follow my own gut with decisions. Biggest challenge? All the BTS business BS that I'm not skilled at yet have to be a part of - HR, taxes, ops... I need help there!
Q. Who are your favorite people to follow on social media?
A. Our clients!
A. This is a f*cked up question because 90% of my routine is Lux. Top 3 if you're making me...
A. Spa day but I'll settle for a bath and no one talking to me.
A. Beach girl for life!
A. Strength training
A. It'll always be the beach for us, followed by takeout taqueria for dinner and a movie night with friends.
