Human On The Daley

Somethign a little different today... you are literally listening in to the first ever conversation between me and Shantani as this was meant to be a coffee connection chat. But as happens when you get 2 like minded people who love going deep...we immediately dove into some topics that people just dont talk about enough, at least not openly. And because this wasnt meant to be public, we didn't hol...

I think the best way to describe what this epsiode is, is to share what Katherine Woller put on the intake form for the interview:  "Honestly, it all comes back to self-trust. There is so much value in developing your own personal trust muscle and feeling empowered in your ability to make the most aligned decisions for your life, even when they go against the grain. I learned this the hard wa...

Yes, I mean physiologically contagious.  This is important to know as an individual but ESPECIALLY if you are in leadership and/or work with other humans. Listen to the epsiode to hear more (with of course a few squirell brain tangents that circle back), including some tips on how to know if you're the one affecting others or at risk of being affected. And of course, I don't leave you totally...

Today I got the opportunity to talk to Jess Walker, founder of FiveDot Greeting Cards where she creates unique, heartfelt, often humorous cards for every occasion from congratulations to grief. We unpack her story and how her own grief (losing her husband in their 20s) shaped her life and her business. We discuss the importance of working to live rather than living to work. We even dive briefly in...

f you’ve been putting something off — the dishes, that hard conversation, or showing the real you instead of the polished version — this episode is your loving wake-up call. Phil Stutz calls these avoided moments “death cookies” — and every time you dodge one, your nervous system learns that discomfort = danger. In this episode, I unpack how facing those moments (instead of running from them) is a...

continuation from the prev epsiode (akak I forgot this point and recorded this once I realized lol)

Gave a keynote a couple days ago to 350 people (99% women) on Reclaiming Success without Self Sacrifice. Be prepared for my ADHD squirrel brain with this one (it ramps up a bit extra for 24-48 hrs after a big speaking engagement for some reason), but I reflect on a couple difference reflections / insights from this experience - How I still get nervous AF before any speaking engagement, even though...

Like I'm sure many of you, high school was not the *best* experience for me. I felt like an outsider, I was awkward, etc, etc... And in the years since, I had really only kept up periodically with 1 or 2 people. Even though there's honestly many more that I thought fondly of, I hadn't been "close" with them (you'll hear me talk about this perception and my struggles with it a bit in this episode),...

Whether you work in corporate or are an entrepreneur, society and propr...

In this solo episode, I dive into the idea that it’s often better to be hopeful and wrong than hopeless and right. Hope is what keeps us moving, reaching, and believing in possibility—even when the outcome doesn’t turn out the way we envisioned. But I also share why it’s equally important to honor the heavy, hard feelings when life gets tough. This isn’t about faking positivity or bypassing realit...

There’s a heaviness in the air right now. And if you’re sensitive, you can feel it whether you’re actively consuming the news or not. It’s completely OK to notice the collective weight and acknowledge how it impacts you. But it’s not OK to carry it like it’s yours, or to keep seeking it out. In this episode, I’m breaking down: -Why feeling collective heaviness means you’re connected (not weak). -T...

The Life She Wanted Isn’t the Life I Chose: The version of me from ten years ago wouldn’t understand the life I’m living now. She’d be proud of some parts—maybe even a little in awe—but she’d also be pissed that I stepped off the path she was so committed to. The one that looked right on paper. The one that made sense to everyone else. This episode isn’t about shaming her or glorifying where I’ve...

I grew up in the deep south where religious trauma runs rampant (though I honestly think most of us have our own version whether you lived in the Bible Belt or not). So even as someone who used to feel at home at Bible Summer Camp (was it just the sense of belonging? tbh, prob), I couldn't stand the hypocrisy I saw with so many people acting up and then feeling fully absolved by showing up at chur...

The world feels heavy right now — and maybe you feel that weight in your body and heart. In this short solo episode, I’m sharing why staying grounded, connected, and regulated matters more than ever when everything feels overwhelming.   This isn’t about ignoring the hard — it’s about finding small anchors so we can keep going.   Inside this episode: 💛 The paradox of seeking joy in dark...

Being multi-passionate is a gift—but it can also come with hidden struggles. In this episode, I dive into the shadow side of being a “Jack of All Trades,” from identity confusion to imposter syndrome and burnout. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not beginner or expert enough to fully belong, this one’s for you. You’ll hear: Why mastery in the traditional sense may not be for everyone The emotional...

In this episode, I (Dr. Megan) share a deeply personal reflection on navigating depression and why chasing happiness isn’t the antidote. Instead, I explore the concept of vitality—what it really means, how it differs from happiness, and why it matters, especially in hard seasons. I unpack how intentionally building vitality can help you feel strong, present, and energized again, and...

Look, I love a good massage or facial just as much as anyone. And I def love escaping on a vacation! But if you're using them to fix that constant feeling of stree, anxiety, or like something's just off... They're bascially Band-Aids. Let's get to the root of what you really need (and how to turn those BandAids into intentional bonuses!) in this epsiode! Let's connect on IG ! Always love hear...

Ever caught yourself thinking "I'd love to go to (insert dream trip), but I don't have that kind of money right now"...What if I told you, yes you do. You just aren't leveraging things correctly! (And you already know I'm big on travel being a catalyst for personal growth!) I LOVED this conversation with Megan Landford of Points to Paradise, because I took so much info away that will help me be ab...

THE episode to bookmark and come back to any time you catch yourself doubting yourself or wishing you could do something but feeling like you can't...or even feeling like something is off but you're not sure what...   We are all guilty of waiting for permission to do the thing we wanna do...start that career pivot...become friends with that person...speak our truth fully...travel to that plac...

Grief sucks. But it IS one of the only things we are ALL guaranteed to go through at somepoint. You will face loss. As will many people you care about and likely wanna support through that time. And the greater the love, the greater the grief. So at somepoint, you're gonna wanna know the answer to "how can I support you?" This epsiode gives you some hella good starting points to go with.   an...
