In this Wednesday in the Wild episode, Megan shares a vulnerable, real-time look at what it’s like to move through a hard week — not because of what’s happening externally, but because of what’s happening inside her head.
She opens up about anxiety, future-tripping, discouragement, shame, and the mental spirals that can take over when emotions feel reactive and overwhelming. Rather than bypassing those feelings, Megan walks through how she’s actively working through them — staying in motion without forcing herself to “be positive” or rush the process.
At the heart of the episode is a powerful concept Megan calls anchoring truths — deeply held beliefs that act like a seatbelt when life feels like a multi-rollover crash. When everything feels chaotic, these truths keep you grounded, stable, and moving forward, even when the road is rough.
Using the metaphor of driving through a storm, Megan explains how intentionally choosing supportive truths can stop mental spirals, shift perspective, and restore a sense of safety and momentum — without denying reality or emotion.
You’ll learn:
Why hard weeks often live more in our thoughts than in reality
How emotions become overwhelming when we stay stuck in reaction
The difference between feeling something and choosing to stay there
What “anchoring truths” are — and why they matter
How beliefs shape what your brain looks for as evidence
Why unsupportive truths keep you stuck in fear and expectation
How to choose beliefs that stabilize you during chaos
What to reach for when you feel like you’re about to spiral
This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to eliminate the storm to keep going. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is buckle in, hold onto what you know is true, and trust yourself to drive through it.
From Impossible to Inevitable is now Breakthrough Mode. We're shifting out of cruise control and into Breakthrough Mode!
