PeP. Talks with Megan De La Concha

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...

E21 Summary First Episode of the NEW YEAR AND IT'S A PARTY! Welcome to the wrap up party of How to Build Better Boundaries Part 2! As we hastily and boldly step in to this brand new year I want to remind all of us that building boundaries is a skill and takes practice. What we practice, progresses. It’s not always the easiest thing, but it’s necessary. As we talk about the final steps in building...

Howdy!  As we keep trekking along this discussion of toxic habits and red flags (if you haven't listened yet to the last 2 episodes, I HIGHLY suggest you do!) we find ourselves wondering what to do next.    One of the biggest blocks to setting boundaries, saying no, or speaking up is not knowing HOW or WHY we should set these boundaries.  Not knowing what to say or how to confi...

We’ve all dealt with or experienced not so great relationships at some point in our lives, and from those, we have made a list of our “red flags”- when we think of those red flags, we usually think of them in an intimate and romantic setting rather than thinking of red flags, in our friendships and in family relationships. Last week we talked about hidden toxic habits that others and our own selve...

You probably do this  and may not even recognize it. There are things that we do on a daily basis, that are actually toxic not just to other people, but to ourselves. These specific behaviors, patterns & habits can seem so small and have become so engrained in our every day lives and conversation that we have come to label them as acceptable and normal, when in fact they are a product of...

Life can suck. Even with all of the wonderful, amazing things we have in our lives- Don't roll your eyes, you have them too. Life can still just throw you for some real curve balls. When we were younger, I am sure most of us were taught to "suck it up", "handle it", "wipe your tears, quit your cryin, smile and move on". Most of us grew up with the belief that you don't let em see you cry, you don'...

I recently suffered a miscarriage. As a matter of fact, I am still suffering from it, in the middle of it to be exact.  So this episode is pretty timely. This episode was recorded while I was still pregnant, or maybe not. Its hard to say.  But what would have shattered me to pieces months ago, actually brought me into a whole new understanding of faith, trust and resilience.  Months...

I got my mind on myself and myself on my mind! Last week we talked about habits that come from the heart, specifically the things you say and think. You speak over you life.  You create your environment, what comes in, what goes out.  You are in control of your life and as soon as you realize the power that lies within your thoughts and words, your life will forever transform any way you...

Wooo!! The last few weeks have been TRANSFORMATIONAL!!!! We have been diving into such an amazing topic and have really been diving deep into our habits and how they are serving us! As we continue our journey of exploring our habits and discovering if what we practice on the daily is propelling us into the life we want or holding us back and keeping us stuck in the life we have, I want to bring a...

Do you practice a morning routine?  Do you practice consistently?   I didn't understand or realize the magnitude of how much a morning routine could not only change your day, but totally change your life!   Before I realized and learned that morning routines are the anchors of your day, I would literally get up exactly when I needed to (well lets be honest about 5 snoozes later...

So you feel like you have this grand vision right?  You may even have goals with corresponding action steps written out in a cute planner all nice and neat just begging for that inky check mark.   And maybe you are on a checking spree at first, but then find yourself and your motivation lost and those check marks become far and few between until that cute hot pink planner with the gold c...

FAKE NEWS ALERT:  Life hasn't always been this happy, I wasn't always this peppy and positive.   I have and lived very dark, dark days.  Days where I didn't know if I was either more happy that the day had ended or more scared of the day to come.    I self medicated. HIGH. ALL. THE. TIME.   It was the  only thing that took me away from the reality I was...

Anxiety and Depression were my default state of mind for the majority of my life to date. Anxiety is rooted in fear. So fear drove every decision I made. Fear controlled my actions, my reactions, my sleep, my mood, basically my life. It wasn’t until much later in life (ahem breaking a toxic relationship, seeking out therapy, and spending time on my healing) that I was able to open the door to my o...

Real Talk:   Doing "the work" is not sitting in front of your computer, laptop or phone all day long.   Doing "the work" does not mean letting your clothes and dishes pile up, creating clutter.  Doing "the work" does not mean neglecting your self care and turning what could be or used to be that 30 minutes of exercise or physical care into an extra 30 minutes to answer an email...

*Please Rate, Review, Comment & Share!!* And here we are at the close of this 3 part mini series on my lesson in obedience    I am probably the most excited to share this part with you, because this is where it all comes together.   This is why you choose God. This is why you wait on him in full faith and unstaggering confidence.  The blessings he has for you far surpass wh...

Wooo CHAAAAL  This was THE HARDEST THING I've ever had to do! And that is wait on the Lord in full faith.   I'm gonna make it quick for you today as this episode just BRINGS IT.  There are 2 ways we react when faced with "stillness" on our journey  1) Recede back to what we know as comfortable   2) Push forward in presumption   Along with that, there are 4 w...

Y'all... Let me just say that the last few weeks have been a huge lesson for me.   A lesson of what? OBEDIENCE.   Admittedly, I was trying and trying as hard as I may to do what it was I wanted to do, or what I thought I should be doing.  Silly me.    God kept bopping me on the head and I still wasn't listening-or getting it. So what happened as I pushed forward in co...

Do you struggle with the feeling that you don't completely fit in, no matter what you do? Are you included in your friends group, but constantly feel like an outsider? Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, you just don’t feel like your true self? If you answered yes, welcome! I know exactly how you feel- For YEARS I always felt that being myself was too weird and not accepted. In my room, b...

*Hi Friends! Take a moment to like, share and SUBSCRIBE!!!*   We have to get over ourselves to become our best selves.  But where does that start? How do we begin?   When we gain an understanding of who we are in this very moment, we gain clarity of our self awareness. We are so blinded by our own truths, that we end up believing in the lies we tell ourselves which create barriers t...

The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories to appear more whole or more acceptable, but our wholeness - even our wholeheartedness - actually depends on the integration of all of our experiences, including the falls.” - Brené Brown    I have spent a lot of time trying to disown, delete, dissolve and deny my own past. I tried to run from it, I tried to keep it hidden, I n...

Woah woah woah before all the men and women who aren't "moms" skip over or stop listening to this episode- let me entice you to stay!  Don't let the title fool you, DAD guilt is real and heck, CARE GIVER guilt is real!  I can only speak my testimony and that is my guilt comes in the form of being a mom! This episode could help you support a spouse, a friend, a parent, a co-worker and of...

In Episode one, please allow me to introduce myself to you, my purpose, who I serve, and why I am here talking with you! This podcast is something that is much bigger than myself.
