There’s a heaviness in the air right now. And if you’re sensitive, you can feel it whether you’re actively consuming the news or not. It’s completely OK to notice the collective weight and acknowledge how it impacts you. But it’s not OK to carry it like it’s yours, or to keep seeking it out.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

-Why feeling collective heaviness means you’re connected (not weak).

-The trap of making it yours, and why compassion doesn’t equal self-sacrifice.

-How doom-scrolling and over-consuming heaviness actually dysregulate your nervous system.

-Simple practices to reset your boundaries and release what’s not yours.

If you’ve been feeling the weight of the world lately, this conversation is your reminder: feeling it means you care, but not carrying it means you’re wise.

The Life She Wanted Isn’t the Life I Chose:

The version of me from ten years ago wouldn’t understand the life I’m living now. She’d be proud of some parts—maybe even a little in awe—but she’d also be pissed that I stepped off the path she was so committed to. The one that looked right on paper. The one that made sense to everyone else.

This episode isn’t about shaming her or glorifying where I’ve landed—it's about holding space for both. For the grief of letting go of what we thought we wanted. For the complexity of being proud and misunderstood by your former self.

If you're evolving in ways that your past self wouldn’t see coming—or approve of—this one’s for you.

I grew up in the deep south where religious trauma runs rampant (though I honestly think most of us have our own version whether you lived in the Bible Belt or not). So even as someone who used to feel at home at Bible Summer Camp (was it just the sense of belonging? tbh, prob), I couldn't stand the hypocrisy I saw with so many people acting up and then feeling fully absolved by showing up at church every week, or the heinous acts that happen in the world in the name of religion.

And I know I'm not alone in being SO removed from the church/religion for YEARS....and I also know I'm not alone in feeling an intuitive pull back to God.

But I first had to figure out what was underneath the resistence I felt and how to unravel the "bad" that I still saw wrapped up in religion to even begin to be ok to say the word God, much less have a practice of connecting.

And TBH, it's still a work in progress...if you're on a journey back to faith, I'm right there with ya. This episode is for you no matter where you are on that journey - maybe you still immediately push something aside if it in any way has a connection to God/Jesus/Faith...maybe you're intrigued by being able to surrender to faith, but anti-organized religion and dont see a way around that...maybe you're actively in a practice again but still feeling a disconnect...or maybe you are well established in a practice but have some feelings about how religion/faith gets abused as a rationale for not so nice things... No matter where you are, I hope this epsiode helps you feel a bit more seen and heard and well, validated.

Would LOVE to hear follow up questions, discussion points, or any reflections you got from this. DM me anytime

The world feels heavy right now — and maybe you feel that weight in your body and heart. In this short solo episode, I’m sharing why staying grounded, connected, and regulated matters more than ever when everything feels overwhelming.

This isn’t about ignoring the hard — it’s about finding small anchors so we can keep going.

Inside this episode:

💛 The paradox of seeking joy in dark times

💛 Why grounding + connection aren’t selfish

💛 Simple ways to steady yourself today

I’m so glad you’re here. We’ll keep walking through it together. Would love to hear from you - slide into my DMs and let's connect!

Whether that be around this podcast topic, a different epsiode, my NEW PODCAST COVER (so excited and thanks to those that voted!), my new branding/website, or anything else!

Being multi-passionate is a gift—but it can also come with hidden struggles. In this episode, I dive into the shadow side of being a “Jack of All Trades,” from identity confusion to imposter syndrome and burnout. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not beginner or expert enough to fully belong, this one’s for you.

You’ll hear:

Why mastery in the traditional sense may not be for everyone

The emotional toll of constantly reinventing yourself

How to reclaim your worth without choosing just one path

What it really means to find peace in your multi-dimensional nature

Let this be your reminder: Your depth doesn’t come from picking one thing—it comes from owning all of you.

If this hit / resonated in any kind of way, please DM me and let me know and share with a fellow multi-passionate!

In this episode, I (Dr. Megan) share a deeply personal reflection on navigating depression and why chasing happiness isn’t the antidote.

Instead, I explore the concept of vitality—what it really means, how it differs from happiness, and why it matters, especially in hard seasons. I unpack how intentionally building vitality can help you feel strong, present, and energized again, and how an honest awareness of death can actually deepen your connection to life.

The epsiode closes with a powerful journal prompt to help you reconnect with what makes you feel alive.

Listen in and DM me your reflections!

Look, I love a good massage or facial just as much as anyone. And I def love escaping on a vacation!

But if you're using them to fix that constant feeling of stree, anxiety, or like something's just off...

They're bascially Band-Aids. Let's get to the root of what you really need (and how to turn those BandAids into intentional bonuses!) in this epsiode!

Let's connect on IG! Always love hearing from you and chatting in the DMs :)

And at the end of this epsiode I mention my self paced course which you can find here OR we can DEEP dive into your specific patterns, get to the root of what/why you feel "off", and create an individualized action plan with massive ROI that will get you not just regulated but launch you into feeling ZERO "off"ness in your life - inspired, excited, and full of energy! Check out the powerful 1:1 session here

Ever caught yourself thinking "I'd love to go to (insert dream trip), but I don't have that kind of money right now"...What if I told you, yes you do. You just aren't leveraging things correctly! (And you already know I'm big on travel being a catalyst for personal growth!)

I LOVED this conversation with Megan Landford of Points to Paradise, because I took so much info away that will help me be able to travel WAY more than I would be without this info. She is a true expert in helping people turn their dream vacations into reality-without breaking the bank. Once struggling to afford even one vacation a year, she now takes over six trips annually, saving an incredible $20,000 a year.

I particularly love that she is NOT speaking to the person dropping a ton of money in order to use CC points, but rather how to better leverage whatever your current necessary expenses are and turn that spending into trips!

Listen in, make sure to follow both of us, and start planning that dream trip!

THE episode to bookmark and come back to any time you catch yourself doubting yourself or wishing you could do something but feeling like you can't...or even feeling like something is off but you're not sure what...

We are all guilty of waiting for permission to do the thing we wanna do...start that career pivot...become friends with that person...speak our truth fully...travel to that place...try the new hobby...leap into entreprenuership...

Whatever it is for you, you are the only one to give yourself the green light. 

Listen for more, including the reflection prompts that will help you kick your own ass in gear.
