In this Wednesday in the Wild episode, Megan shares an in-the-moment insight that came straight from her journal — a different way of thinking about breakthroughs.

Most of us focus on what’s waiting on the other side of a breakthrough: success, confidence, impact, growth. But in this episode, Megan flips the lens and asks a quieter, more confronting question: what has to be left behind?

From limiting beliefs and outdated habits to identities that no longer fit, she explores why breakthroughs aren’t just about adding more — they’re about releasing what can’t coexist with who you’re becoming. 

This episode invites you to stop fixating on the version of you you’re trying to reach — and instead get honest about the version of you that can’t come with you.

You’ll reflect on:

  • Why focusing only on “the other side” of a breakthrough can feel overwhelming

  • How familiarity keeps us attached to identities we’ve outgrown

  • The hidden cost of holding onto beliefs and habits that no longer fit

  • Why growth requires subtraction, not just addition

  • What it really means to make space for who you’re becoming

  • One small belief, habit, or pattern you might be ready to release

    This is a quiet but powerful reframe: you don’t have to fully believe in who you’re becoming yet — you just have to be willing to let go of what can’t coexist with her.

    From Impossible to Inevitable is now Breakthrough Mode. We're shifting out of cruise control and into Breakthrough Mode!
