In this episode, Meghan drops in with digital advertising expert Meagan Buggey to unpack what’s really going on behind the scenes when your content isn’t converting. From burnout to bad data to misunderstood strategy, this conversation pulls back the curtain on why so many entrepreneurs feel like they’re doing everything right and still not seeing results.

Meagan shares her journey from motherhood to building a flexible, thriving ads agency and why she’s on a mission to help women simplify their marketing without living online 24/7.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why relying only on organic content is a fast track to burnout
• The real difference between boosting posts and running strategic ads
• How ads help you reach the right people, not just more people
• Why follower count is a vanity metric and what actually matters
• The biggest mistakes people make when running ads
• What budget you actually need to get started, it’s less than you think
• How to use ads to grow your email list strategically
• Why your ads might not be working and what to fix before blaming the algorithm
• The connection between marketing, mindset, and mental health
• Behind the scenes of Meagan’s upcoming book This Is Why Your Ads Suck

This episode is equal parts strategy and sanity check. If you’ve ever felt like social media is a full-time job with zero return, this conversation will shift how you think about visibility, growth, and where your energy actually belongs.

Meagan Buggey is a Meta Ads and Funnel Strategist, agency owner, and upcoming author of This Is Why Your Ads Suck. She helps female-led online businesses turn “my ads aren’t working” into booked-out calendars with simple, data-driven strategies that don’t burn out their nervous system.

In today’s micro episode of Dropped In, Meg shares a lived realization that reshaped how she understands capacity, leadership, and the body.

After months of unexplained physical symptoms, what initially felt like a loss of capacity revealed something deeper. For years, endurance had been mistaken for strength. Pushing through, holding more, and staying functional under pressure looked like resilience, but came at a hidden cost.

This episode explores the difference between surviving intensity and having the capacity to hold growth without abandoning yourself. 

The body was not failing. It was communicating.

A reflection for leaders who have been praised for endurance, rewarded for resilience, and quietly asked to carry more than their system has fully processed.

Capacity is not about how much you can handle. It is about how you stay connected to yourself while you grow.

Sometimes the most powerful leadership move is listening when your body asks you to pause.

In today’s episode of Dropped In, Meghan explores why capacity, not hustle or productivity, is becoming the real advantage in leadership and business.

As pressure, visibility, and responsibility increases, leaders who rise are not doing more. Instead, they are able to hold more, without losing themselves. This episode unpacks how nervous system capacity impacts decision making, trust, sustainability, and long term success.

If growth has started to feel heavy, unsafe, or exhausting, this conversation offers a powerful reframe.

The issue is not strategy. It is capacity.

Capacity is not a luxury. It is the foundation for sustainable leadership and success.

What happens when a leader is willing to talk about the things most people avoid?

In this powerful guest episode of Dropped In with Meghan Weir, Meghan sits down with subconscious and somatic facilitator Kristi McCleod to explore the intersection of nervous system safety, subconscious healing, and the responsibility that comes with holding space for others.

Kristi is the lead facilitator in the Subconscious Imprinting Technique (SIT) certification program and works with entrepreneurs, leaders, practitioners, and facilitators who are ready to get to the root of patterns that keep showing up in their lives and businesses.

Together, Meghan and Kristi dive into what it truly means to create safe spaces for transformation. Not the kind that bypass discomfort, but the kind that can hold the full spectrum of human experience.

This conversation moves into territory many people avoid, including the impact of trauma, the responsibility of practitioners, and why speaking openly about difficult experiences can create permission and healing for others.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• What Subconscious Imprinting Technique (SIT) is and how it works
• Why many healing modalities only treat symptoms rather than the root
• The role of nervous system safety in coaching, facilitation, and leadership
• What happens when practitioners lead from their own dysregulation
• Why corporations and leadership spaces are still resistant to deeper nervous system work
• The moment Kristi chose to share her story about suicidal ideation on stage
• How courageous storytelling creates permission and healing for others
• The responsibility of facilitators to hold safe, grounded spaces for transformation

Kristi also shares how her personal experiences shaped her mission to help people understand what’s happening inside their bodies and minds, and why having the right tools and support can change the trajectory of someone’s life.

Because when people feel safe enough to tell the truth about their experience, something powerful happens.

The shame softens.

The isolation dissolves.

And the door to healing opens.

This episode is a reminder that leadership, facilitation, and healing work require more than techniques. They require presence, responsibility, and the courage to hold space for the full human experience.

If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who believes in creating spaces where people can truly be seen, heard, and supported.

Because sometimes the most powerful leadership begins with simply being willing to go there.

Kristi McLeod is a nervous system educator, speaker, somatic practitioner, and the lead facilitator of Subconscious Imprinting Technique (SIT). She guides entrepreneurs, leaders, and practitioners to build real safety in the body, because regulation isn’t a luxury, it’s the foundation for clear decisions, healthy relationships, and sustainable power. Kristi is known for teaching deep, complex work in a way that actually lands and integrates.

What if the most powerful move you make in a boardroom has nothing to do with what you say… and everything to do with how you enter the room?

In this episode of Dropped In with Meghan Weir, we’re stepping into a conversation that’s quietly reshaping boardrooms, leadership teams, and high-performance cultures.

We’re talking about the missing piece inside modern leadership.

Not strategy.

Not talent.

Not speed.

It’s Co-regulation.

This is the part nobody teaches in MBA programs. The part happening beneath the surface of every meeting, every decision, every hard conversation. The reality that your nervous system is speaking long before you do.

Meghan breaks down what co-regulation actually is, why it’s the hidden competitive edge most companies overlook, and how regulated leadership changes the entire atmosphere of a room without force, pressure, or performance tactics.

This episode is for founders, executives, mentors, and decision-makers carrying real weight. The ones leading teams, navigating pressure behind closed doors, and wanting to create cultures that don’t just produce… but sustain.

Inside, we talk about:

• What co-regulation is and why humans are wired for it
• Why culture is shaped by nervous systems, not policies
• How dysregulation shows up as people-pleasing, overworking, silence, and stalled creativity
• The difference between fast decisions and regulated decisions
• Why slowing down doesn’t cost momentum, it builds capacity
• Simple ways to shift the energy of a room before you say a word
• How presence becomes your most powerful leadership tool

You’ll also hear practical, immediate ways to apply this in your next meeting. From breath awareness to pacing to pausing before responding, these micro-shifts create macro impact.

Because leadership isn’t just about directing outcomes. It’s about shaping environments.

If you’ve been focused on strategy but sensing something deeper is missing, this conversation will land. 

Take a breath before your next meeting.

Arrive before you speak.

Influence begins there.

Three years in, and I almost quit...

In this milestone episode of Dropped In with Meghan Weir, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to keep going when motivation disappears, results feel slow, and your nervous system starts hitting the brakes.

I’m talking about discouragement, burnout, functional freeze, and the quiet kind of overwhelm that makes high performers question everything. The part nobody posts about. The part where you’re doing all the right things, and still feel like you’re running uphill in wet cement.

You’ll hear why I considered cancelling the podcast, what actually stopped me, and the message of hope I ask every guest to share for the person who’s ready to throw in the towel.

This episode is for founders, leaders, and entrepreneurs building something meaningful… and realizing your next level doesn’t require more discipline. It requires more capacity.

Inside, we talk about:

• Why burnout isn’t a motivation problem, it’s nervous system overload
• The difference between discipline and capacity
• Why functional freeze shows up right before your next expansion
• How to build nervous system resilience for long-term success
• The truth about mastery, consistency, and staying power
• What “the year of the Fire Horse” symbolizes for your leadership era

If you’ve been discouraged, doubting yourself, or feeling like quitting, this one is your permission slip to stay. Not from force. From leadership.
