EPISODE 69: In this tender and soul-stirring episode of Taking Flight, Megan shares how a childhood storybook, a beloved stuffed animal, and a deep belief in possibility sparked a lifelong understanding of manifestation. Through the tale of her first dog, Taz (who, yes, was visualized into her life with the help of a very well-loved copy of The Velveteen Rabbit), Megan explores how open-hearted imagination and small, intentional actions can turn dreams into reality. Spoiler: she may have manifested a job, too—and not just any job, but one she could vividly see herself thriving in before it ever existed.

But this episode goes far beyond visualization. Megan invites listeners to embrace the magic of being "real"—through acceptance, action, and a willingness to stay open even when life feels wobbly. Whether you’re curious about manifestation, skeptical but intrigued, or someone who’s always believed in the quiet power of childhood wonder, this episode wraps it all in love, laughter, and realness (with just the right amount of sass and sparkle).

EPISODE 68:
In this cozy, heartfelt episode of Taking Flight, Megan dives into her personal monthly ritual for calling in abundance, grounding her energy, and refreshing her space—inside and out. From cracking a window in every room (even in Midwest winter!) to embracing simple practices like deeper cleaning and spritzing soul-nourishing scents, she shares how intentional living can be a form of self-respect. You’ll laugh at the “Megan droppings” and smile at the idea of couches as gratitude magnets—yes, even when covered in dog hair.

More than just a cleaning checklist, this episode is a reminder that your space reflects your spirit. Megan explores how resetting your home can reignite your energy, enhance your creativity, and invite more joy and flow into your life and business. Whether you're a fellow intentional homemaker, an energetic reset enthusiast, or someone simply seeking more peace and productivity—this one’s for you.

EPISODE 67: 
In this episode of Taking Flight, we’re keeping it real, reflective, and a little ridiculous in all the best ways. Megan answers a curated list of listener questions ranging from confidence and imposter syndrome to irrational childhood beliefs (did singing to the sun actually work?!) and what she’s currently loving in life. From open mic night nerves to ziplining fear, this episode dives into what it means to choose confidence over comfort in the everyday moments—whether you're on stage or simply digging in your backyard.

You’ll hear stories, mindset shifts, laughter, and even a few sparkly metaphors that will leave you smiling and thinking. Megan shares how she navigates perfectionism, the myth of the “perfect start,” and why naming her inner critic “Regina George” helps her take back control. This is an episode for anyone needing a reminder that growth doesn’t require perfection—it just needs a little shimmer and a lot of heart.✨

EPISODE 66:
In this deeply personal and courageous episode, Megan shares one of the most vulnerable truths of her life: choosing to live child-free by choice. With her signature mix of humor, insight, and soul, she opens up about what it’s like to walk a path that goes against the grain—a path that isn’t often talked about openly, especially for women. This episode is a permission slip to explore and stand by your truth, especially when it doesn’t follow the “shoulds” society so often hands us.

Whether you’ve made a big life decision that feels different from those around you—or you're standing at the edge of one—this conversation is here to remind you that your life is yours to design. You’ll walk away with a deeper sense of how to trust your intuition, hold your own inner compass sacred, and bring more openness, lightness, and honesty into your personal journey. This episode is a warm hug, a gut-check, and a rallying cry for bold, heart-led living.

EPISODE 65:
In this fiery episode of Taking Flight, Megan dives into a topic that hits home for so many: what to do when your passion feels like it’s fizzled. Whether you’re feeling disconnected from your work, your relationships, or even yourself — this is your reminder that you’re in the driver’s seat of your energy, your fire, and your next chapter.

With her signature warmth and realness, Megan explores the idea that passion produces passion — and reigniting that spark starts with asking better questions, shaking up the routine, and getting honest (with yourself and others). If you’ve been craving something more, this episode will leave you inspired to pivot, reconnect, and rise into a version of life that feels aligned, exciting, and totally yours.

EPISODE 64:

First things first—don’t mind my gaze wandering aimlessly at the beginning of this episode (if you are watching on YouTube.) For a solid 2.5 minutes, I forgot where to look until my producer gently reminded me (ding!) and I was back in action. Consider it a real-time metaphor for how we all get a little lost sometimes until we’re reminded to come back to ourselves. 😅

In this episode of Taking Flight, we’re diving deep into the very real, very human experience of being seen—by others and by ourselves. We’re talking about the art of "numbing the nuances" in a positive, freeing way. From cringing at the sound of your own voice to analyzing your crows' feet in every photo, I unpack how we can stop overanalyzing the little things and start embracing all our beautifully imperfect, ever-evolving selves. You’ll hear real talk about letting go of perfection, rewriting your inner narrative, and fully showing up—crows’ feet, silly dance moves, weird lighting and all. If you’ve ever felt like the loudest critic in the room is the one in your own head, this episode is your permission slip to quiet the noise and step into your full, radiant self.

EPISODE 63:
In this episode of Taking Flight, Megan invites you into the cozy energy of the Taking It Easy Club—a space where rest, play, and presence aren’t luxuries, but necessary magic. She shares her personal journey of unlearning hustle culture and embracing soft, sustainable rhythms—whether that means grounding your feet in the grass, saying no to unnecessary pressure, or laughing until you cry.

Through soulful storytelling and sassy truth bombs, this episode reminds you that your worth isn’t tied to your productivity. Rest is radical. Joy is sacred. And creating space for simplicity might just be the secret to a wildly beautiful life. So take a deep breath, shake off the stress, and let this episode be your permission slip to slow down and savor.

EPISODE 62:
What if passion isn’t something you stumble upon—but something you bring with you? In this episode, we’re flipping the script on what it means to “find your passion.” I share how I’ve come to understand that passion isn’t found in the work, the title, or the circumstance—it’s born from within. We often believe that others have more fun, more fulfillment, or more clarity because of what they do. But here’s the truth: perception isn’t the full story.

I dive into the idea that passion produces passion—and that we can create joy and energy in our lives by choosing to show up differently. From the quote, “My job is not fun—I’m a fun person,” we explore what it looks like to lead with our own spark and bring vibrancy to even the most mundane moments. Whether you’re feeling disconnected or just ready to tap back into your own fire, this episode is a loving reminder that you hold the power to make anything feel more alive.

After you listen, I’d love to know—what’s one way you can bring a little more fun, fire, or passion into your world this week? Tag me on Instagram or send a message and let’s celebrate how YOU show up and create your own spark. 🔥

EPISODE 61:
The Power of Words: What I Stopped Saying (and Why)
In this episode, we’re diving deep into something we often take for granted—our words. I’m sharing three specific words I’ve intentionally removed from my vocabulary and how doing so has shifted not just my mindset, but also how I communicate with others. Our language holds power—power to uplift or to weigh down, to close off or to open up meaningful connection.

Whether you're navigating relationships, building a business, or simply talking to yourself in the mirror, the words you choose matter. I’ll walk you through how shifting your language can lighten your emotional load, foster clearer communication, and help you feel more empowered in everyday conversations. This episode is your loving reminder that what we say—to ourselves and others—creates the world we live in. Let’s choose it wisely.
