I Hardly Know Her!

Just a short ep to ‘splain why it’s so important to me to practice what I preach in life, in my home, and stay committed to the things that matter the most.

This is pretty self explanatory. And - Apparently this podcast really just serves as some self-care/therapy for me. Enjoy!

Just airing some grievances and reframing myself around a positive money mindset so I can finally let go of some bad feelings I’ve formed on the subject. Enjoy!

On stage as a standup comic you have that specific block of time to share your life and perspective with the audience. The hope? For people to laugh and validate you with those laughs and cheers. When we are done on stage, the etiquette we learn is to signify when you are done by stating “that’s my time.” It makes me realize how important that time is, and not to undermine the value in bravely taking the stage with my guard all the way down. This ep is centered around how comedy, performance, and storytelling has offered me the mindset to be accepting and graceful with myself AND to pause before reacting to what other people do in the world that is negative, hurtful, and likely out of my immediate control. Comedy is SUCH a valuable tool for growth, forgiveness, and finding that connection to humanity that we so desperately need.

More ramblings and random thoughts by your ol’ pal Megan? You betcha! This episode is all about giving yourself a break when things aren’t going well and also finding some understanding of why we might react or feel the way we do at different times and in varying circumstances. Paying attention to my patterns has helped me work through some tough stuff without being hard on myself for too long.

Buckle up! (That’s what I did while I was driving and recording this short ep thru the Bluetooth in my Jeep.) Listen, we all have a lot going on and tensions are high. That doesn’t mean we should sacrifice the quality of our work. If we have a job, we should do the best job we can and if you hate your job, do something about it instead of half-assing the one you have. I bet there are people who don’t have a job who would like your job. (Should I be producing podcasts when I’m this tired?)

One of the best things I’ve learned to do for myself is to allow myself the grace and freedoms to change my opinion once I have new information or additional life experiences to cause those changes. This episode talks a little about what things influence my opinions and the process I go through choose my stances on issues and to revisit those opinions from time to time to keep myself as the most up-to-date version of Megan.

This ep recounts the 5-part post on Instagram that I’ve been dripping for several weeks, since the time when my ex-husband’s new wife took some pretty incredible photos of me. I’m always open to the lessons I learn and respectful of those lessons that are being learned by others along the way. Cheers to finding the common ground of growth and doing the very best we can individually, do that collectively, life can be a bit more delightful.

Recently I had a really awful experience with BPPV and I still, from time to time, have “the spins” when I lay down at night or in the morning when I first try to get up and moving. And this physical state of nausea and imbalance has become a blatant reminder for me to consistently focus on health, emotional wellness, and balance with work and life.

Trust is one of my fave topics in the realm of humanity and our willingness and ability to connect with other humans in a healthy way. Listen in as I share some of my thoughts around the framework of how I view trust and activate my trust for self and others in my own life.
