Finding Wellness

Send us Fan Mail Many of us are feeling stuck when it comes to our health and wellness goals. With summer right around the corner you might feel pressured to lose weight or "tone up". Today I argue that while it might be  possible  for you to do those things right now, maybe right now isn't the right time. Taking a look at your life more holistically may reveal other areas of your l...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been working towards a goal and feel frustrated because you're just not seeing the progress that you want to see? This is such a common experience whether you're working on your health, a relationship, a business, etc. Today, I'm peeling back the curtain a little to give you an idea of what it's like to work with a health coach. Ask yourself these...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever been scrolling social media and finding conflicting information related to your health and wellness goals? How the hell are you supposed to know which camp you fit into or which advice you should follow? Today we're talking about navigating all of these competing opinions, becoming more critical of the content we consume and finding what works best for us.  Beca...

Send us Fan Mail Today we're discussing two of the most toxic messages about mental health in the wellness and personal development spaces. These two messages in particular were a HUGE part of the reason it took me so long to get help for my mental health. Be careful who you follow, who you're getting advice from and the beliefs you choose to subscribe to. Make sure you're not getti...

Send us Fan Mail This episode was scary to record. I'm excited to see how this journey unfolds. I will be sharing more about my journey as I look for any hormone imbalances that might be contributing to my mental health symptoms as well as my process for weaning off my depression medicine if we do get that far. **ALWAYS work with your doctor and make sure you have the proper supports in place...

Send us Fan Mail Over the last year I've worked hard to correct a lot of habits that were stressing out my nervous system, raising my cortisol levels, and contributing to PMS symptoms. As usual, I'm still a work in progress and nothing is perfect. BUT I feel the most calm and at peace in my body that I can remember. So I'm sharing with you today in hopes that my experience might hel...

Send us Fan Mail We're one full month into 2023 and many of us are working on our wellness goals. I heard a saying on a podcast that I thought I really connected with. That saying was "being in shape is awesome, but getting in shape sucks". When I heard that I thought, OMG that's so f*cking true! But as I've taken the last month to step up my running game and "get bac...

Send us Fan Mail I've spent the last few years on a journey of learning about myself and healing from anxiety and depression. Along the way, I've learned the importance of self care and really became protective of my energy. And while that is an amazing thing to be able to do for yourself, I also didn't really push myself out of my comfort zone too much and held myself back from gro...

Send us Fan Mail EEEKKK! I'm SO EXCITED about this next chapter of the podcast! I'm making a shift from focusing exclusively on moms to connecting with all women to support their health and wellbeing. It's the same Megan with a similar message and a whole new look. Because it's the beginning of the year and a lot of us are focusing on our wellness goals, I put together a free g...

Send us Fan Mail Last week I shared that I'm not really into that new year, new me BS. BUT that doesn't mean that I don't strive to learn and grow. (Go back and listen to episode 135 if you missed it) In 2023 I do have some fitness goals I'd like to acheive. I want to get back into running. Finally. For real this time. I've joined a group coaching program and set some goal...

Send us Fan Mail I wasn't planning on doing an end of the year typ of episode but here we are! Today I'm sharing some pretty powerful reminders as we wrap up this holiday season and close the door on 2022. This is the time of year we often set lofty New Year's Resolutions and the reality is that more than half of us will quit before we even get to the end of January. Don't let...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever cried on your way to work about something that happened today or something you're feeling guilty about? Have you ever thought to yourself "this won't happen when my kids are bigger"? Well, we're well into the teen years in this house and I cried on my way to work earlier this week because of some things I've been struggling with this tim...

Send us Fan Mail This is another real and transparent episode about my wellness journey. While today's focus is on my physical health, there is a real correlation between physical and mental health. Today we're chatting about my full wellness journey over the last 18 years. The highs, the lows, and everything in between.  From feeling like I would always be overweight and exhausted, to r...

Send us Fan Mail The internet is flooded with fitness gurus who are shouting from the rooftops the best way to get fit, lose weight, etc. I'm here to remind you that YOU are the expert on you. There is no one size fits all solution to your health and wellness. I've fallen into the trap of believing these fitness influencers, profressionals, etc. that are available to me online know what&...

Send us Fan Mail We're so quick to beat ourselves up and say that we're failing. We're so quick to say nothing is going right and everything is a mess. But when was the last time you actually took inventory of your life and actually defined what success means to you? How can you say you're failing if you haven't even defined what success looks like? You have nothing to mea...

Send us Fan Mail I know we usually evaluate the year at the end of December or beginning of January, but I had an epiphany recently that forced me to take a look back over the past 12 months and everything that has happened since last November. From dealing with anger and grief, to quitting my job, to building my self-care and resilience habits, getting used to life without Timmy in the house and...

Send us Fan Mail "There's no massage in the world that's going to undo a decade of neglect!" If you're sick of hearing things like "make sure you're practicing self-care" it's likely because you're thinking about it all wrong. When I talk about self-care, I'm  not talking about the spa days, the bubble baths, the weekend get-aways, etc. I&apos...

Send us Fan Mail We've got some pretty big decisions to make in the Eddinger house and each of them have the potential for life-long impact. As a mom I'm constantly worried about my parenting decisions so in this episode we're going to chat a little bit about what to do if you're agonizing over a parenting decision that needs to be made.  Did you hear??? I'm writing a f*ck...

Send us Fan Mail Let's ditch the all or nothing mentality when it comes to prioritizing our self-care. Today we're talking about using the idea of a minimum baseline to make sure you're getting your needs met no matter what! Because yes, it would be great if we could all have a full hour (or more) of self-care practices every day. But the reality is that's not always possible a...

Send us Fan Mail I don't know about you but the first time I went to therapy I was SHOCKED to find out I was there to actually work on myself and not the people and things around me that I found stressful. I mean why didn't my therapist see that  they were the problem right? The truth is, maybe there are some problematic people, places or things in your life. But at the end of the day th...

Send us Fan Mail I don't know about you but I'm definitely feeling a shift in my energy and mood as the seasons are changing...and as I look around I can see that others are already being affected too so I thought I'd share some simple things I'm bringing back into my routine to support my energy and mood as the seasons are changing. 6 Simple things I'm bringing back to my...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we hold on to good things because...well because they're good. Why fix what's not broken, right? But sometimes you have a gut feeling that this good thing doesn't quite fit or no longer works. And that feeling is really easy to ignore. I recently let go of some pretty good things to make room for some really GREAT things! I am SO EXCITED for this fall and...

Send us Fan Mail Earlier this summer, my friend Dr. Christine Jehu, taught us about the concept of the window of tolerance. This concept essentially measures our capacity to be able to tolerate the stressors of life. She explains it way better in her interview (see below). Today I'm sharing about my recent realization that my window of tolerance isn't open quite as far as I'd like a...

Send us Fan Mail When we're feeling like shit or feeling stuck it's EASY to feel sorry for ourselves or to wish we were further along than we are right now. But I encourage you to look back instead of looking ahead. In what ways are you different today than you were back then? THAT is something to be proud of, something worth celebrating.  I know it doesn't come easy to you to recog...
