In this episode, I explore an overview of my 5 Practices of Personal Freedom, which encourage us to question the narratives we’ve been told, re-develop our connection and believe in our selves, and establish new beliefs and narratives that support the self, others, and the planet. I also give more context as to what living your freedom looks like in a practical sense and how living in our freedom is a radical act of self love and rebellion in our “power over” systems. Lastly, I share some feedback from my clients about how these practices and my coaching have impacted them.

In this episode, I explore the Dominant Dogma that celebrates those who take on “hero” roles in family units and beyond. I dive into the impact perfectionism has on us in the long-term, including extended Fight/Flight/Freeze responses, and I even share how I’ve seen this happen in my own life. Then, I walk you through the freedom on the other side: being seen and embraced beyond your “hero” tendencies and finding power in setting meaningful boundaries.

In this episode, I confront the Dominant Dogma that shares, “ you are taking up too much space.” I’ll walk you through feeling, noticing and listening to your big feelings, how those big feelings have been suppressed as not to “rock the boat,” as well as my personal experiences of fitting myself into boxes to avoid being perceived as “too much.” I’ll share how this has led to maladaptive cping strategies, as well as the freedom on the other side, where I invite you to live with congruence and work with your emotions to create harmony and integrity.

In today’s episode, I confront the Dominant Dogma that tells us: “It is better to give than receive.” I’ll touch on the nuance that acknowledges the importance of giving while also knowing that putting that “giving” instinct into overdrive is unsustainable. I’ll explore how folks (especially women) in service-based work are constantly fed this message, and how these cultural norms have impacted me in my creative and personal life. Lastly, I’ll discuss the freedom on the other side, where we can belong to ourselves, together.

In honor of our 20th episode together, I’ll be reviewing the why that brings us here, by discussing the freedom we can find on the other side of Dominant Dogma, how Dominant Dogma has infiltrated our lives, what it looks like to truly live in our power, and how my personal story plays into all of that goodness. We’ll also explore the beauty of personal freedom as a means to fight harmful systems and find our way to collective healing. Join me!

In this episode, I welcome my friend and psychotherapist Thaís Sky to the podcast to talk all about worthiness. We’ll explore her healing journey, what it looks like to bridge the gap between feelings of inadequacy and personal freedom, as well as finding worth in a culture that thrives off of our feelings of unworthiness. We’ll also explore community and relationships and learn some tips for deepening our belonging to ourselves.

In today’s episode, we will embark on a journey confronting the Dominant Dogma that forces us to find our worth in spirituality, appearing in the cultural narrative that we are inherently corrupt just by existing. I’ll explore the harm of evangelical Christianity, the creation story myth, and we’ll end with a reminder that not all spirituality is bad and that you are loved and worthy with or without a set of religious beliefs.

In today’s episode, Megan goes on a journey exploring how Dominant Dogma has insisted that we earn our belonging by fitting in with our minds. This includes a brief review of terms like “neurodivergent” and “highly sensitive person,” as well as in-depth looks at how this belief (ahem, implicit ableism) shows up in our lives, how most social norms do not create an environment for neurodiverse people to thrive, and how coping strategies like masking upholds ableism. Don’t worry — we’ll also explore how you deserve to thrive, set meaningful boundaries, and live a life you love.

In this episode, I will confront the Dominant Dogma that makes us believe that we must earn our belonging in our bodies. I’ll explore how humans (especially those socialized as girls) are made to value themselves based on their bodies, how this belief system has roots in supremacy, patriarchy, colonialism, and abelism, and how we miss out on the nuance and beauty of each individual when we give into this way of thinking. I’ll also provide some personal experience and “Dominant Dogma in the wild” sightings to illustrate this cultural phenomenon.

In this week’s episode, I’ll dive into the Dominant Dogma that insists we “get it together,” and how that looks and sounds in our daily lives. I’ll explore how our hyper-perfetionist culture damages our mental health, and even how concepts like original sin and redemption have become tools for capitalism. Lastly, I’ll invite you to experience the true freedom of being a messy human. We are enough!
