In this heartfelt solo episode of the Self StartHER Podcast, Megan shares the raw and honest behind-the-scenes of what it looked like to bet on herself—even when the timing couldn’t have felt more uncertain. She opens up about starting her podcast before making a dollar, being pregnant during a layoff, and navigating months of financial unknowns with nothing but a dream and a gut feeling that she was meant for more.

Inspired by her conversation with Cassie LaMere, this episode explores the powerful question: "What if?" What if you actually go for it? What if you choose yourself before you’re ready? And what if the best-case scenario actually happens?

Megan also reflects on the common thread running through so many of the stories shared on Self StartHER—women who said yes to their vision, even when the circumstances weren’t perfect. If you’ve ever wrestled with the fear of starting, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• The messy, magical season when Megan chose to go all in

• Why your “what ifs” can fuel action instead of fear

• How listening to other women’s stories helped her keep going

• A reminder that your dream doesn’t have to make sense to everyone—only to you

• The truth about starting a business before you feel “ready”

Whether you’re still dreaming, just starting, or smack in the middle of a leap that feels a little terrifying—this episode will leave you feeling seen, supported, and a little more brave.
