Megan (aka Megz) has also been a friend and mentor. And as friends, we share a megaton of nerdy intersections.

Our conversation takes a winding path, from career talk to being vulnerable and creative. We start things off by talking about how she stumbled into UX Design. Our conversation then switches to showing up in life with raw honesty. With some more twists and turns, we dove into the importance of shedding all our BS and forming strong relationships with people. 

Feedback seems to be a recurring topic here in Le vital corps Salon. Megz and I dissected this topic a bit more in this episode too. Specifically, she shared how she survived some pretty cruel and devastating feedback. Also, she shares how to stand up to “idea bullies” in the workplace. Because Megz is a creative human, we talk about how she came to be known as the "Painting Lady" and the nourishing aspects of having a daily, habitual creative practice.
