Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

You're in for a TREAT my #prettyawkward friend, because today's interview is a no holding back truth bomb typa episode.   Taylor Slango is an INCREDIBLE business and embodiment coach for spiritual entrepreneurs and someone I've "grown up with" in this coaching industry.    In my opinion she's one of the GOAT'S and has stayed the course of all the changes, ups & downs, and MAJOR life shifts she's e...

In this heart to heart I'm sharing what was happening BTS in my latest launch that I didn't share publicly with social media.   Life was LIFE-ING, lemme tell ya, and in this episode I share what was going on, but more importantly how I managed to handle it and still show up for the launch.    Unfortunately life doesn't decide to "take it easy" during launches (that would be AMAZING, right?!) and j...

We are pulling back the curtains in a BIG WAY my friend and taking you step by step through my latest launch.   I'm sharing…   What went REALLY well (and some new things we tried) What mistakes we made (to change for next time) And what was out of our control   This is probably the launch I'm most proud of to date, even though it's not the highest cash launch I've ever had.   We (my team and I) sh...

This past weekend my husband and I had one of the best weekends of our lives and definitely one of the top 3 experiences in our marriage (probably our wedding day being #1).

What do you think of when you hear the word "confidence."   If you're like 99% of the world you probably first think "chest up and out, maybe a little louder or that quiet confidence people can have, and definitely sure of themselves."   But I have a feeling today's conversation with Jordan Gomez is going to flip that on it's head for you.   Jordan aka "J.Go" is a Life Coach, Speaker, and the host...

In today's episode I'm peeling back the curtain and taking you behind the scenes over the last 5+ years of my business investments.   When did I first invest in my business and what was it?

What did I NOT love?   I'm going to be VERY honest in this episode and shoot it to you straight (as per usual).  ...

Chrysa is an INCREDIBLE career coach helping professionals get career satisfaction, clarity or completely pivot their career.    And #funfact , she originally said "no" to joining SOSA. A few days later she realized this was exactly what she needed.   Now? She's a full time career coach, facilitating packed to the brim in person workshops, and just landed her first $5K deal.    But more than that,...

It's not easy to ask for help, especially when you feel like you're 'starting over.'   But that's exactly what Sami, our SOSA student feature of the day, did when she joined us last year.   Sami pivoted from digital nomad coaching to relationship coaching and was struggling to really find her flow with content and sign clients in this new niche.   She plugged into the SOSA support system, specific...

Meet Angela, a macro nutrition coach and emotional eating specialist.   Angela's journey has not been an easy one to say the least.  She joined Smart Online Success Accelerator shortly after losing her father, and was questioning if she even wanted to continue on with her business.    Everything seemed stacked against her and she was in a really tough spot.    After digging into the curriculum, ge...

I almost made the title of this episode: trust, unattachment, energy healing, grounded considering everything going on, TTC, free lesson and more. BUT…. That felt a bit excessive.

Today's episode is inspired by a few conversations I've been having with members of my community; people who have been burned by bad investments and are timid to invest again.   In this episode I share one of the worst investments I ever made, how it affected me not only financially but also mentally and emotionally.   But I (most importantly) share...   How I bounced back AND… What I looked for i...

Today's episode was inspired from a bonus zoom training I did with the people on my SOSA 2.0 Waitlist. They asked such great questions and a recurring one was..   "When is it time to launch a group program?"   A lot of them were coming up against consistent price objections or working with a clientele that truly would do better in a group atmosphere because of the nature of the coaching.   And eve...

I've been on a Podcast tour lately and a big topic I've been discussing is how to show up on social media and for your business in general when your personal life is HAP-PEN-ING!   AKA: sh*t is hitting the fan.   I feel like I've become a pro at this over the last few years between a separation AND reunion with my husband, losing my father-in-law to prostate cancer, getting pregnant and having a m...

I LOVE MONEY. Let me start by saying that. I love what money can do when in the hands of good people. I love the experiences and life money has afforded me and my clients. I love the impact I've been able to make with money.    But what I didn't love along this business journey? Was how attached my worth as a human became SO TIED to how much money I made, not to mention my daily mood swings.   Goo...

What else is new, I'm getting vulnerable in today's heart to heart and sharing a fear that's come up for me in the past few weeks as I've been working through a program called To Be Magnetic. This program is all about rewiring subconscious beliefs to manifest what you desire, and I went into this honestly thinking it would be a breeze and I wouldn't have much to work through, because honestly? I t...

Want to hear how awkward and uncomfortable I can be? Then listen to this interview ;) LOL   But in all seriousness I really wanted to have the conversation about linking pleasure with money and abundance and there is no one more suited that came to mind than my friend and former client, Hannah Deindorfer, an expert in sex and somatics.   And we thought why not bring my husband on so we can really...
