This week, Megan is coming in buzzing with faith, momentum, and a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you finally stop white-knuckling your goals and start making success easier on yourself. Fresh off the Black Friday launch and a flood of new students, she unpacks the real reason so many women stay stuck even when they “know what to do”—and what shifts everything when you’re ready to rise.

If you’ve ever wondered why you stall out, self-sabotage, or feel blocked even when you’re motivated, this episode opens the door to a new kind of strategy—one rooted in identity, alignment, spiritual clarity, and simple daily habits that compound into massive change.

This episode is part motivation, part mindset reset, part practical coaching—and it’s the perfect listen if you’re ready for your next level, but something in you keeps hesitating.

Tune in before you map out the rest of your prep or set your 2026 goals. It might change the way you think about winning entirely.
