She’s a kooky comedian, improv coach, award-winning author, and a single mom of four.

047: Repairing My Relationship with Myself 08.11.2020 50:51
This is pretty self explanatory. And - Apparently this podcast really just serves as some self-care/therapy for me. Enjoy!
046: Repairing My Relationship with Money 30.10.2020 36:07
Just airing some grievances and reframing myself around a positive money mindset so I can finally let go of some bad feelings I’ve formed on the subject. Enjoy!
045: “And That’s My Time!” 27.09.2020 34:26
On stage as a standup comic you have that specific block of time to share your life and perspective with the audience. The hope? For people to laugh and validate you with those laughs and cheers. When we are done on stage, the etiquette we learn is to signify when you are done by stating “that’s my time.” It makes me realize how important that time is, and not to undermine the value in bravely tak...
044: Track Yourself, Don’t Attack Yourself 31.08.2020 38:20
More ramblings and random thoughts by your ol’ pal Megan? You betcha! This episode is all about giving yourself a break when things aren’t going well and also finding some understanding of why we might react or feel the way we do at different times and in varying circumstances. Paying attention to my patterns has helped me work through some tough stuff without being hard on myself for too long.
043: You Had One Job 10.08.2020 18:09
Buckle up! (That’s what I did while I was driving and recording this short ep thru the Bluetooth in my Jeep.) Listen, we all have a lot going on and tensions are high. That doesn’t mean we should sacrifice the quality of our work. If we have a job, we should do the best job we can and if you hate your job, do something about it instead of half-assing the one you have. I bet there are people who do...
042: Change of Opinion 17.07.2020 37:16
One of the best things I’ve learned to do for myself is to allow myself the grace and freedoms to change my opinion once I have new information or additional life experiences to cause those changes. This episode talks a little about what things influence my opinions and the process I go through choose my stances on issues and to revisit those opinions from time to time to keep myself as the most u...
041: 5 Lessons in Forging Ahead 28.06.2020 42:42
This ep recounts the 5-part post on Instagram that I’ve been dripping for several weeks, since the time when my ex-husband’s new wife took some pretty incredible photos of me. I’m always open to the lessons I learn and respectful of those lessons that are being learned by others along the way. Cheers to finding the common ground of growth and doing the very best we can individually, do that collec...
040: Vertigo 27.05.2020 28:21
Recently I had a really awful experience with BPPV and I still, from time to time, have “the spins” when I lay down at night or in the morning when I first try to get up and moving. And this physical state of nausea and imbalance has become a blatant reminder for me to consistently focus on health, emotional wellness, and balance with work and life.
039: Trust Issues 14.05.2020 35:51
Trust is one of my fave topics in the realm of humanity and our willingness and ability to connect with other humans in a healthy way. Listen in as I share some of my thoughts around the framework of how I view trust and activate my trust for self and others in my own life.
038: The Marking of Time 29.04.2020 36:08
Well, the IHKH podcast is one year old. Happy Anniversary! This episode became a surprisingly emotional verbal processing about what time means to me. It’s our most valuable, yet un-renewable resource and that both excites and frightens me. See if you can tell why as you audibly wade through a jumble of my thoughts.
037: Virtual Book Club - Personal Development 04.04.2020 1:04:52
5 of my super cool friends joined me for a virtual book club through a Zoom call to share a favorite book that has helped with personal development. There’s something really sexy about collaborating in the space of personal growth. I hope you pick up a helpful thought or two.
036: Wellness When Life Gets Weird 29.03.2020 1:13:17
It’s so important to focus on wellness, peace, hope, and self-awareness when we are faced with things in life that seem OUT OF CONTROL. Listen in as I interview three guests who share their stories, insight, and industry experience to help us take a pause and be empowered through trying times by focusing on WELLNESS of Mind, Body, and Spirit. Angela London of London Wellness Solutions, Carlie Youn...
035: Laser Focus 14.03.2020 48:42
This episode is a recap of the processes I’ve been putting myself through in order to laser focus on the things I love doing most in my career. Enjoy a trip down metaphor lane as I compare life to amusement parks, and then unpack 4 specific topics of (self)advice I’d been smacked in the face with during a 48-hour time period recently.
034: Growth 17.02.2020 39:14
I recently took some time to ponder on ROOTS - in a variety of meanings which spurred some thoughts about the growth that we are entitled to as human beings. I love personal growth and am constantly seeking ways to improve myself by stepping into what feels the truest, most genuine version of ME! I wish that for everyone. Thanks for listening into this episode. And I hope you like awkward musical...
033: 4 Things I Learned from MLM’s 02.01.2020 27:48
I’m happy to say that because of my irritatingly high levels of silver-lining perspectives, I can always find valuable take-aways from every experience I’ve invested time into - particularly with things that maaaaaay not have been the best use of my time and talents. Embarking into Multi-Level Marketing/Network Marketing/Pyramid Schemes (or whatever you want to call them) proved to be an area of s...
032: Mental Wellness & Improv 12.12.2019 58:15
It finally happened! My friend, Brooke Lacey & I got together to record a swapcast between the I Hardly Know Her and Mental Wellness life podcasts! In it, we discuss ways to positively move through life by accepting the messy human inside us all and to reinforce that Mental Health should be open dialogue (because everyone either has a Mental Health issue or knows/loves someone who does.) And it do...
031: Win Together with Collaboration 09.12.2019 36:20
I sat down with my ImproVideo partner, and top selling Amazon Author - JennyQ - to talk about the benefits of collaborating with the right people to build even bigger dreams than you might have ever been able to on your own. Check out her book, “Leveraging Livestreaming to Build Your Brand.” https://www.amazon.com/Leverage-Livestreaming-Build-Your-Brand/dp/098526991X AND/OR Jump on our email list...
030: Suspend Judgment 30.11.2019 34:29
One of the tools I teach in improv workshops is to suspend judgment. Life is meant to be fun, and filled with bold choices that are uniquely ours, which can be hard to do when we are feeling judged by others OR WORSE, when we are so critical of ourselves that we filter our true selves too much. I’d never say to STOP judgment - we are human! I will encourage you to SUSPEND it before acting any time...
029: Self Care Snippet 03.11.2019 12:40
Occasionally, due to my fast paced lifestyle, I can sense when the dreaded “burnout” is on the horizon. I take my health and mental care very seriously tho, and make sure to tend to my needs in various ways to stay on top of my BEST LIFE, which is currently in progress.
028: 4 Life Lessons from Stand-up Comedy 02.11.2019 21:48
I’ve learned a LOT of life lessons from my work in comedy. This episode tackles just FOUR of these lessons. Also - I cannot think of a time in my life when I have been as exhausted as I am right now so I busted this episode out as I blazed my way through a massively busy week because this podcast (the whole thing, not just this episode,) is super important to me and I believe strongly in maintaini...
027: Monkey Bars 17.10.2019 16:15
I’m fascinated by the connections in life that bring one experience to the next...to the next...to the next. Even when those connections take a back seat as life moves forward, they are still an important piece of the big picture.
026: Just Start Today 06.10.2019 11:40
Stop waiting for the mythical unicorn of “perfect timing” to try something new or start that business or share your story. Be intentional with your motivation! Teensie-tiny steps are better than zero progress.
025: All is Well - Some Late Night Spiritual Thoughts 28.09.2019 26:14
Finding peace and comfort can come in many ways. For me, it’s a feeling of connection that I have between myself, all living people and things, and a higher power. I’m a huge fan of God, Jesus, and the spiritual energy that guides me through this life to soften some of the tough blow and make sense of situations that can leave me thinking “whut in thee hell just happened?!?!”
024: Fail Faster with “Yes, And” 21.09.2019 26:56
Career paths, life goals, relationships, deep rooted passions...all of them can come into focus if you are just willing to keep working hard, try new things, and recognizing that each experience we are given can ultimately enhance our skill set to achieve outcomes that we may have never otherwise been able to imagine. Don’t be afraid to “fail.” Do it often! Do it quickly! And pay attention to what...
023: At What Point Can I GIVE UP?! 08.09.2019 22:51
Most days I am SOOOOOO TIRED folks! Is anyone well-rested these days? We all have so much going on at work and home and in our brains and on our plates and sometimes our goals don’t pan out the way we so desperately want them to. Ugh. So. Like. At what point can I just give up? Listen in to hear 3 tips on what I do when I am ready to throw up my hands in the air and quit everything!
