Welcome back to The Photographer’s Couch! In this episode, host Megan Gioeli invites you into a vulnerable and honest conversation about reflection, alignment, and personal growth.

After a season of running late, running on empty, and repeating cycles that didn’t serve her, Megan shares how she started asking herself a powerful question: “Are the things I’m doing every day aligning with the life I want to live?”

From fitness goals to motherhood routines and business habits, Megan gets real about what wasn’t working, what’s shifting, and how regular self-reflection has helped her break survival mode and step into more intentional living.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of chaos, exhaustion, or just plain misalignment—this episode will meet you right where you are.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Why reflection is a non-negotiable part of creating a life you love
• The trap of survival mode and how to break free
• How small habits (like running late or late-night work) add up over time
• Why consistency with intention matters more than perfection
• How Megan adjusted her gym routine and nutrition goals to reflect deeper desires
• A reminder that health, business, and family goals all benefit from alignment

💭 Reflection Questions:

1. What are the things I do every day — and do they support the life I want?
2. Am I being honest about what’s working and what isn’t?
3. Am I showing up with intention or simply reacting to survival mode?
