PeP. Talks with Megan De La Concha

Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions?: "I don't know WHAT I'm doing" "I don't know WHY I feel this way" "I don't know HOW I am going to get through this" " I don't know WHERE my life is going" "I don't know WHEN things are going to turn around" I know I have asked ALL of these time and time again. What's f...

OYYYYY!! Am I right or am I right? The journey of health and wellness is an interesting one to say the least. This journey comes PACKED with all the emotions one can feel: Motivated AF, Tired, Determined, Exhausted, Hopeful, Frustrated, Excited, Defeated...I mean the back and forth should be a HIIT exercise alone... again, am I right or am I right? Let me take you on my roller coaster ride of phys...

I want to take a deeper dive with you into what a morning/daily routine looks like for me. What do I require for a healthy and grounded day, above everything else I could choose to do in my day? Piggybacking off of the last episode "F*ck a Morning Routine", I want to share what my #1 non-negotiable is in my life as I know it today. I am talking about my Spiritual Health. This is an absol...

My morning routine used to look like this 5:00am-5:15am- wake up; coffee 5:20am-5:40am- devotions 5:45am-6:30am- Workout 6:30am-6:45am- Meditations 6:45am-7:00am- read; coursework 7:00am-7:20am- Shower 7:20am-7:40am- Breakfast 7:40am-8:00am- Ready for work 8:15am- Leave for work This bullshit lasted for about 3 days, MAYBE a week if I literally had nothing else to do the night before. Over and ove...

I guess you could say I "failed" on the audio, but believe me, my sound engineer, Riley, cleaned it up- a lot! I was waiting for my mic to be delivered, but felt this opportunity to record and release so strongly that I had to work with what was available, so thank you RILEY for glittering this up for me. Now- Down to the intention of this limited series. WELCOME to Failing My Way to Suc...

I've been focusing a lot making a space for the part of yourself that you don't necessarily want to accept or hold space for and it was in conversations thereafter that I realized, I needed to take it one step further... or back rather.  I mean talk about peeling back the layers!   So before you can create space for every part of yourself to exist as discussed in E34: The Unworthy M...

This episode is brought to you by a passage in my personal daily devotional that has changed and shifted my perspective about the quality of my life and the state of my circumstances and how neither of them are intertwined through God's eyes.   "People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So, they pour their energy into trying to control those situation...

Apply the same rules and principles that you would use to build that dream house that's posted up on your vision board to your life.    Learn how to:  Design your dream life (What you value the most)  Set your privacy restrictions (upholding boundaries)  Protect the peace of your home (Who do you let into your life and are they causing chaos?)  Keep your house clean (...

Are you just as tired and burnt out as I am from the daunting and boring daily to do schedule that feels like it has you running around like a chicken with its head cut off? Or like your head is cut off?  Ya ya, its great we are getting "all these things" done.  But what of those things are actually bringing YOU value to your day, what of these checklist and calendar events are in alignm...

This day and age, we are constantly trying to live in a future we can not see. We do this by worrying about what if, trying to figure out what to do when ..., analyzing and overthinking every single detail of what could and would go wrong and then desperately trying to make a plan c,d,e,f and g.  We spend all night worrying about it. We sometimes don't eat. We aren't present in conversations...

Holy Cow,  I can not believe it was June when the last episode of Season 2 was published & distributed! I am so excited to be back and introducing Season 3. There has been so much change, growth, creating the new, and shedding (while simultaneously appreciating) the old.  So I officially WELCOME myself back here, onto your listening platform. Tune in to hear the amazing things that t...

This is PeP. Talks FIRST EVER Guest Interview and I THRILLED!!! I have had Whitney on my calendar for SO LONG. The time is right.  Whitney Johnson, known as the "preschool whisperer" made the bold decision 3 years ago to no longer be a babysitter! She started her career in the parenting and childcare space wayyy before she even realized it! At the young age of 7, Whitney began lining up stuff...

How do you hold space for the part of yourself that you don't necessarily want to hold space for? You know, the part of you that you have a hard time accepting, or just don't want to accept? The part of you that you are resisting, maybe even rejecting? Because that part of you deserves a space.  A space to exist. Not Control. But just exist.  It may sound like  "I am not worthy." "I...

...which also makes you the solution. In this episode I talk about the 3 KEY things you NEED in order to completely unlock the door to transformation and change.  I mean REAL life transformation.  The type of transformation that once realized, can never be forgotten. The type of transformation that brings healing and grace. The type of transformation that allows acceptance every step of...

When we think of idols we think of idolizing money, material items, desires of the flesh, people etc.    But there are things that we may be idolizing and we don't even realize it.    What are you focusing on?   For me, my self worth and value to my business lied solely in the check marks that laid beside my to do list every day.   Had I accomplished the spe...

A few months back I took a huge leap of faith and asked God to remove everything in my life that: a) did not serve me any longer & b) was providing a false security Woo, I was very nervous praying that prayer, because I know God was like "YES GIRL!" and I was like "oh no what have I done?" But being the Almighty God that he is, he was gracious, soft, kind and gentle. He did exactly what I aske...

I am welcoming me back!! PeP. Talks is revamped, refreshed and REVIVED!!! This was not a break I had intended to take, but the Lord had other plans. The last 5-6 weeks have been FULL of new lessons.  #newlevelsnewdevils But it was necessary growth that took place and now I have leveled UP!!  My being, my mindset, my faith, my obedience, my health, my finances.  Yes, this was like a...

As we continue to playback some of our favorite episodes. It's important to reflect and revisit all of the amazing conversations we've had. Some of them hit differently especially when you are in a different stage of your journey.  The most important takeaway from this,  The work does not look like sitting all hours of the day in front of a laptop getting tight hips. It does NOT look lik...

Ashes to Grace is a story about a girl, who never really knew where she fit in. With her friends, her environment, sometimes her family, in her own body, in her own mind She always felt that no matter what she did, it just wasn’t good enough. So therefore, she became “not good enough”. Through years of desperately trying to find, accept and love who she truly was. She found herself constantly in t...

ashes-to-grace.teachable.com/p/ashes-to-grace Emotional Intelligence is important, the value and benefits of developing your EQ are extensive and in many areas massively under-utilized. Emotional intelligence is the gateway to living a more fulfilled and happy life, and here’s why: Emotional intelligence allows you to understand and manage your emotions in order to self-motivate and to create posi...

Hey! I feel like it’s been so long, yet it’s only been a week!! And I don’t know about you, but I have been going THROUGH IT!!! The uncertainty, the struggle, the unknown. At times it seemed way too much; I just couldn’t take it anymore. I cried out “God I don't get it, I just don’t get it!” I started to debate on whether or not I should just go back to the job I had and start over. I felt like I...

As we continue our journey into transformation and finding our highest self, full of confidence, resilience and grace, God will bring us into an isolated space of our own. A space to really connect to our beliefs, a space to connect to our faith, our identity and our core values. This space feels like we’re all alone; this space was meant for us to find grace and who we are in Christ. This is a sp...

The word of the year? Favor YUP at it AGAIN!! The reason I am choosing the word favor this year, is because it is an unfamiliar word to me. Why is it unfamiliar? Not because God has been neglecting me and horrible things have happened over and over in my life, not because I have struggled my entire life and I was dealt a bad hand. But because I have been actively pushing away favor instead of acce...

Y’all I’m gonna say this time and time again. To create REAL change, I mean the everlasting change that is firmly and forever cemented in to your entire being takes real work- Like the uncomfortable, most time scary work. It is not enough to just set goals and resolutions. What action steps do you have in place that support you in achieving your goals EVERY SINGLE DAY? It is not just one act, it i...
