Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

Trigger warning: Miscarriage and pregnancy loss are discussed in this episode.   As you can tell by the title, I'm really sharing something personal today. Not only that I had a miscarriage, but how I navigated my business during this time to prioritize my mental and physical health.   Thank you in advance for being such an incredible community that I feel safe enough to share this with. I appreci...

Today I'm talking about something I have been looking forward to for a long time. I really trusted my gut and I launched in a completely different way than I usually do. I technically have had larger profit launches, but I am so excited about the way we launched AND the way I've structured this particular offer. I really do enjoy live launching, but it got to the point where it was just exhausting...

Today's Heart to Heart episode goes deep into something personal to me and I'm excited to share my thoughts. Alcohol has become such a social activity, an escape and so deeply ingrained in our culture, that it's hard to imagine being completely alcohol-free.    I went completely alcohol-free for 4 months this year and it was a really interesting experience. I didn't expect much, because I wasn't d...

Doubling your income, you say? Sounds great, until you think about all the time and energy it'll take.  Especially if you're working as a coach, there's only so much of you to go around. And I say that as someone who loves coaching and believes it to be my literal purpose. But when your job is to give of yourself all day, it can take its toll. The amount of empathy, understanding, and guidance it...

Ready for a heavy heart-to-heart this Friday? In the interest of being completely open and vulnerable with you (aka the point of these episodes) I'll start off by admitting that the past week was straight up not a good time for me. It got me thinking about how to keep going (or maybe not) with your business when you're in it.  You know it right? Nothing goes right, everything feels hard, and lest...

It's my birthday week! Birthdays are a BIG deal to me (who doesn't love to celebrate!) and this Tuesday, I turned 35. This was a big birthday for me, and I couldn't think of a better way to commemorate the occasion on this HEART TO HEART episode than to talk about the top 10 lessons I learned over my past trip around the sun. Here's a preview of what the lessons are: Let Go of the Timeline You're...

I know that people can be really averse to the idea of group coaching, and I was that way at one point, too!
