The Power Within Her

Today, we're talking about MOM POWER! Because I'm not a mom yet myself, I sat down with Chrysty Lockhart, a new friend of mine who is a mama, wife, teacher, health & wellness coach, and the host of Start Scared Podcast. She's also all about REAL TALK with #MomLife. We chat about what it’s like to be a mom, patience, how to navigate hard mom days, picking your battles as a parent...

Today's episode is all about FEELING BEHIND! Sometimes, when we know what we want with perfect clarity, it can feel like the path to our goals & dreams is TAKING TOO LONG, which makes us feel like we're never going to get there. But, here's the thing: TIMELINES ARE TOTALLY ARBITRARY! It doesn't actually matter how long it takes you to get to your goal because it's goin...

Today's episode is all about REFRAMING our relationship with feeling "STUCK!" Often times, we view that "stuck" feeling in our jobs, city, relationship, or body, etc. as a BAD THING, which causes us anxiety, overwhelm, unhappiness, confusion, a lack of fulfillment, and a whole host of stories that DO NOT serve us. So, what if we just DECIDED to write a NEW narrative that s...

Today is a very special episode! It's not only my 31st birthday, but I also had the immense honor to interview the woman who taught me how to podcast, Kacia Fitzgerald. She's also the CEO of She Goes Company & the host of EmpowerHer Podcast!

Today, we're talking about how it's OKAY to have an OFF DAY now and then because it's all a part of being a HUMAN! We live in a society that tells us to "pull ourselves up the bootstraps" and to "push through" no matter what. While that philosophy is good in theory, there are times when that notion HURTS US, rather than helps us. Often times, we place UNREALISTIC...

In today's episode, we're talking all about COMPARISON, which ROBS US of happiness, enjoyment, and fulfillment. When we look at what others are doing, we can become JEALOUS & UNCONFIDENT, which results in telling ourselves BS stories about how we're behind, we're incapable, or even that we're never going to get there. And then, we make a DETRIMENTAL DECISION that the d...

I sat down with my favorite international bestselling romance author, Lauren Rowe, to talk about all things romance, writing, and life! I discovered Lauren's book in graduate school and fell head over heels for the way she balances humor with heart-melting moments, drama, and steam. Lauren's books are MORE than entertainment. In incredible and empowering ways, she quite literally rewrite...

In today's episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Carleigh Weaver, who is a fun, brilliant, and saucy THERAPIST. In our conversation, we cover IMPORTANT topics, such as mental health stigmas for women (and men), enabling, representations of mental health in popular culture, toxic positivity, and self-care. Our goal is to NORMALIZE conversations about mental health, to DISPEL proble...

Today's episode is PART 2 of a TWO-PART series about Taking Yourself Out! In this episode, I talk a lot about DOUBT and how it can roll in like an untimely fog and prompt us to ABANDON our GOALS & DREAMS if we're not careful. Even though we want to write that book, start that company, or launch that podcast MORE THAN ANYTHING, doubt causes us to SECOND GUESS it all. But you & I K...

Today's episode is PART 1 of a TWO-PART series! In this episode, I talk about that desire to do something that you're PASSIONATE about, such as starting a business or writing a book. BUT, you get scared or you're overwhelmed because you're not totally sure what you're doing, so you somehow convince yourself NOT to do it. And before you know it, you've TAKEN YOURSELF O...

In today's super short, totally spontaneous & surprise bonus episode, I share a REAL TIME realization about TAKING CARE of OURSELVES! As ambitious, go-getter women who pour into others, we often forget we are NOT MACHINES and we need to attend to our own needs if we want to help others. Let's challenge the story we tell ourselves about pushing through at all costs and feeling bad abo...

Today, we're celebrating 5 full episodes of the podcast, so we're diving into a super fun, pep-talk style conversation that focuses on BEING INTENTIONAL! Often times, we think there's some sort of MAGIC BEAN out there that will help us cut corners to gain success or to solve a problem. We might even think there's something we DON'T have that someone else does, but that&apo...

In this episode, I talk about our "go ham" culture, and how it conditions us to associate doing our BEST with "100% all in, no excuses, effort," which leads to BURNOUT & RESENTMENT of our goals and dreams. I share a personal story of how I fell into this trap & how I got myself out of it by REDEFINING my criteria for doing my best! Connect with me on instagram: @dr.megg...

In this episode, I share a silly personal story about a crappy Monday to demonstrate the VALUE of REFLECTION. There is so much POWER & POTENTIAL in reflecting on all the mundane or seemingly insignificant moments in our lives, especially since it can reveal so many valuable LIFE LESSONS. By reflecting on the little stuff, we can move mountains!
