The Megan May Podcast

From the moment we moved into our farmhouse, I knew one of my favorite places would be our sunporch. But I also knew that with a full life, I would never end up there by accident. If I wanted to enjoy it, dream in it, pray in it, or simply be still in it, I would have to intentionally make time for it. In this episode, I'm sharing why I believe we all need a space like that. A place where we can s...

In this episode, I'm sharing the emotions behind finally giving our daughter her first phone after waiting as long as we felt was right. While she was excited, I couldn't help but feel the weight of what this little device represents. It opens the door to a whole new world, one full of opportunities, but also new challenges, conversations, boundaries, and responsibilities. I'm talking about the bi...

This Father's Day felt different for me. In this episode, I get really raw and honest about my relationship with my dad. For much of my life, I carried disappointment because he wasn't able to give me what I needed from him. But he was my dad, and there wasn't another one I could turn to. So I grew up wishing for a different relationship than the one we actually had. What shifted for me this Fathe...

When we think about wellness, we usually focus on the basics: sleep, exercise, nutrition, and supplements. Those things matter, but they're not the whole story. In this episode, I explore another essential aspect of well-being: understanding how you're wired. What regulates you? What dysregulates you? Why do you respond the way you do under stress? What patterns, habits, and coping mechanisms show...

In this episode, I get very real and raw about how I've been feeling about myself lately. I've been spending a lot of time in my own head. I wanted to share this because I hope it reminds you that I'm not perfect, nor do I strive to be. Just like anyone else, I have very real and very human battles that go on in my mind. My hope is that by being honest about my own struggles, it helps someone else...

We often become the biggest supporters of other people's dreams. We encourage them, celebrate their wins, and remind them of their potential. Yet many of us hesitate to take the same risks in our own lives. Complacency feels safe because it doesn't require growth, failure, or uncertainty. But some of the most fulfilling moments in life come from attempting things we once thought were impossible. W...

I have been in the wrong room countless times. How I know this is because my inner gut started telling me it was the wrong room. It didn't feel right. Nothing was going right in that room. It didn't align with me and my values. Or I would leave that room feeling worse than when I came. Sometimes I would get out of the room fast; other times, God had to hit me over the head to get out of that room....

In this little series I am doing, I decided to interview my kids. Today, you get to hear from my oldest son Acen. He is usually the extrovert, but you will hear a little shy side to him in this interview. Enjoy as he answers and gives an honest opinion about our family.

We form opinions every day about people, businesses, and situations, but how often are those opinions truly our own? In this episode, I unpack how easy it is to adopt someone else’s perspective without even realizing it. From word-of-mouth bias to social influence, we explore how secondhand judgments can shape the way we may judge someone or something. More importantly, we talk about how to step b...

He is sweet, witty, and super chill, and his big blue eyes melt my heart! Enjoy a special interview with our 9-year-old son, Lennon, as he shares his opinion on his family and who is the funnest, most forgetful, and everything in between. If you want to follow him and his brother on YouTube, you can look them up at TheTwoHams.67

She is fierce, confident, and bursting with energy, and she lights up every room she enters. In this episode, you get a small glimpse of her four-year-old personality, squirrel brain, and interests. Also, I hope the song she sings to you melts your heart and brings you JOY! Enjoy the interview with our daughter Maren May

The time has come to do a little spring cleaning in your life, and not just in your yard or your home. In this week’s episode, we’re digging into the areas that matter most: your marriage, your relationship with your kids, and the way you’re wired as a person. What needs to be cleared out? What have you been holding onto that’s no longer serving you or your family? I take a deep dive into what int...

Sometimes life lessons don’t come in big, obvious moments; they show up quietly, in the most unexpected ways. This week, mine came from my great-grandma’s funeral plant. After accidentally leaving it out in the cold, I watched it slowly wither as I tried everything to save it. It felt like a lost cause. But just when I was ready to throw it away, I noticed something surprising. New life pushing up...

We’re finally getting settled into our new home on the farm, stepping into a new season after the storm, and navigating a new-ish career path that might have you wondering… what am I up to? If you don’t care, that’s okay. I still love you, and I’ll catch you in the next episode. But if you do, I’m sharing a real and honest update on my life as of March 2026. If you need a little more information a...

I had the privilege of speaking at the EmpowHer Women’s Event this past weekend, surrounded by some truly incredible women. And my assignment? To make everyone a little uncomfortable. And I did. Because here’s the truth: we are not called to stay comfortable. It’s in the uncomfortable seasons where real growth happens, where we’re stretched, refined, and prepared for the goodness waiting on the ot...

In the middle of coming off one of the hardest seasons we’ve had, and recently moving a few weeks ago, life is crazy, and we had every reason and obstacle saying now was not the time to head on an impromptu family trip. But then something hit us. We started thinking about how many summers we actually have left with our oldest daughter before she’s grown and doing her own thing. And suddenly, all t...

I had an unexpected aha moment when I started driving my kids to school each morning. Something about being in the car makes conversation happen. Whether it’s light and funny or deep and hard, they can’t help but talk. It made me realize how desperately we need real conversations. The good ones. The uncomfortable ones. The honest, messy, healing ones. And maybe… they need to happen in a car. After...

I’ve been part of an incredible group recently, one that offers rewards, growth, andresults. But here’s the catch: it requires daily check-ins. Daily accountability. No hiding. No skipping. No excuses. And it made me realize something uncomfortable… How many goals have I not accomplished simply because no one was holding me accountable but me? In today’s episode, I’m talking about the power of acc...

It should come as no surprise that I’m passionate about building and maintaining a healthy marriage. But today, we’re talking about something I don’t discuss much and that is what it actually looks like to survive the hard seasons. Grief. A big move. A new baby. Career changes. Stress that comes out of nowhere. Even the strongest marriages can drift into survival mode during these seasons. Communi...

You are in for a treat today. Our guest is a Minnesota wife, mama, modern farmwife, blogger, and the heart behind the Empower Her Conference in Marshall, Minnesota. Today’s conversation will encourage you to take that thing weighing on your heart and pursue it with the resources you already have. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to step out in faith, dream a little bigger, or finally say yes to wh...

This episode holds both joy and grief in the same breath. After receiving incredible news and finally moving out of tiny living and onto the family farm, we found ourselves celebrating a long-answered prayer. And yet, in the middle of all that joy, there was an awareness I strongly felt that our last night before the move may have looked very different from my father-in-law’s last night. In this c...

This is Part 2 of our Wilderness Season series, where we continue an honest conversation about what it means to walk through hard seasons without getting stuck there. Last week, we talked about walking in the hard — grief, loss, and the unraveling of identity that often comes in wilderness seasons. This week, we shift the focus to hope and movement. Together we talk about Gently pick yourself up a...

You’re in for a treat with this powerful two-part podcast series as I sit down with my dear friend, Amy Poepping, to talk honestly about the wilderness season , those moments in life when everything familiar is stripped away, and we’re left walking through the hard. Together, we dive into what it looks like to walk through grief, the valley, and seasons of loss, when identity feels shaken, comfort...

I had a moment with my husband and daughter that really made me stop and think. She was teaching him how to do her hair. She gave him the tools, showed him exactly what to do, and encouraged him. From there, it was up to him what he was going to do with what she gave him. That moment sparked today’s conversation. We’re talking about what happens after you’re given the tools and the direction. Beca...

I had a completely different episode planned for this week, but because of some choices I made, I didn’t record it before the weekend. And honestly? I’m grateful I didn’t. Instead, a totally different message landed, and that’s what I’m sharing with you today. In this episode, we settle into a little story time and unpack something the world of instant gratification rarely celebrates: slow and ste...
