In this episode, Megan sits down with Kaitlyn David, a brand and marketing strategist, mom of two, and Human Design enthusiast, to talk about the messy, beautiful process of finding your authentic voice in business and life.

They unpack:

• Why it’s okay (and powerful) to change your mind and pivot directions.
• How to quiet external noise — from social media, from other people’s “success,” from pressure to niche down.
• The subtle but important difference between intuition and ego.
• Why success defined on your terms creates more sustainable results than shortcuts.

This conversation is a permission slip to unfollow what doesn’t serve you, reconnect with your own inner knowing, and build something that actually feels like you.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my incredible past client, Jenn, a mama of six and the co-founder of Forex For Women. 

Jenn’s journey with me spans nine years, and in this conversation, we dive deep into the magic of knowing yourself, self-trust, and navigating the balance between personal growth, business, and motherhood.

You’ll hear:

• Jenn’s journey of personal and professional reinvention over the last nine years.
• How she overcame guilt and societal expectations about motherhood and self-care.
• The unexpected, beautiful results of investing in herself and her business.
• Tools Jenn used to step into balance and create more spaciousness in her life, even amidst her busy schedule.
• How she’s now able to navigate burnout and show up fully for her family, business, and community.

If you’re feeling inspired after Jenn’s story and want to explore how coaching can help you step into your next phase of growth, I’d love to support you on a Clarity Call — a free, no-pressure session to help you get unstuck and create actionable steps toward your transformation.

Today, we’re diving into a powerful topic that many of us feel but often struggle to name: reinvention. 

It’s that moment when you sense something has to shift, but you're not quite sure what or how, and it’s both thrilling and terrifying. 

We all go through reinventions, big and small, and today's conversation is about how to move through that in-between space, where the old version of you is no longer serving, but the new one hasn’t quite arrived yet.

You'll hear:

• What reinvention really means, and how it’s not just about changing everything at once.
• The power of micro-changes in reinvention, and why starting small can be just as transformative as huge shifts.
• Why burning it all down may not serve you.
• Tools to help you approach reinvention with grace, courage, and the clarity you need to take the next step.
• A real, heart-led action step to start your reinvention today, without feeling overwhelmed.

As always, if this resonates, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a note, share your reinvention story, or ask questions — you’re always welcome to join the conversation.

💌 Mentioned in this episode: SEEN, a free workshop on showing up confidently — even when fear tells you to shrink. (Happening May 13!) https://tinyurl.com/seenworkshop 

We’ve all been told that fear is the enemy. That to grow, succeed, or be seen, we need to conquer fear or somehow become fearless. But what if that’s not only untrue... what if it’s actually getting in the way of your clarity, your confidence, and your capacity?

In this week’s episode, Megan unpacks some myths we carry about fear and gently reframes the narrative around it. You’ll hear how fear isn’t something to eliminate, but something to listen to. Because the goal isn’t to be fearless — it’s to be in relationship with your fear in a way that serves you.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why you were never meant to be fearless (and why that’s a good thing)
• The real reason fear keeps showing up (even when you’ve done “the work”)
• What Human Design reveals about how fear lives in the body
• How to stop letting fear drive the car... without trying to throw it out altogether
• Why fear and desire often live right next door to each other

Whether you’ve been shrinking yourself to avoid being misunderstood, or you’re simply tired of fear running the show behind the scenes, this episode will help you shift your relationship with fear so you can move forward with more compassion, clarity, and courage.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the real reasons why you’re not taking action, and spoiler alert: it's not about a lack of discipline or willpower. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overthinking, or constantly holding yourself back, I’m here to help you understand why — and, more importantly, what you can do about it.

We’ll explore the underlying fears of visibility, judgment, and rejection that often disguise themselves as procrastination or perfectionism. This isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about understanding what’s going on internally and creating a safe space for action to flow naturally.

You’ll walk away with clarity on why you’re stuck and how to start taking action from a place of alignment, not force. Plus, I’ll share practical steps to help you shift fear and begin making progress, without the shame or self-criticism.
