Mornings with Megs

This was meant to be a 15 minute chat. It became the whole hour, and we are so glad it did.

Psychotherapist and relationship architect Nikki Foord joins Megs for a raw, honest conversation about the one relationship that changes everything: the one with yourself.

We get into Nikki's VPB Audit (Values, Priorities and Boundaries) and how to make decisions without the guilt, why you have to be selfish to be selfless, three burnouts by 35, early menopause and endometriosis, a radical hysterectomy, egg freezing and IVF grief, choosing a child-free life, and why losing a pet can hurt more than we admit.

Heads up: this one goes deep. We talk about fertility, surgery, health and grief. Look after yourself while you listen.

One for the girls 💅 A real-life matchmaker joins Megs to expose why dating apps are built to keep you swiping (not settling down), the biggest mistake singles make, and how to actually meet people in real life — starting with one simple question. Former Farmer Wants a Wife contestant Megan Gourlay also spills what reality TV really looks like behind the cameras. Then Megs gets brutally honest about her own self-sabotage and shares the 8-areas-of-life audit that will show you exactly where you're getting in your own way. Grab the workbook via her socials.

She retired her husband with a $47 ebook she wrote ONCE, and in this full side hustle masterclass, I'm showing you how to go from "someday" to your first paying customer in 7 days.

Grab a pen. In this class: the one-sentence offer formula that does the selling for you, the $50-or-free toolkit (I build brands for a living and I'm telling you the branding can wait), the only 3 posts you need this month, the word-for-word ask script for your first customer, and the 7-day launch plan — plus the one move to make before lunch TODAY.

More than half of Australia is running a side hustle or about to start one. The gap between the ones earning $1,000+ a month and everyone else isn't talent. It's that they started.

Men are quietly opting out of dating — and before you get mad, hear me out. 👀 Today we're getting into the spicy stuff: why "protecting my peace" has become the most sophisticated way we've ever invented to hide, the Snapchat request that told me EVERYTHING this morning, and the loneliness stats that genuinely made me sad (chronic disconnection is now as bad for you as smoking — no thanks).

Plus: the Friendship Recession nobody's talking about, and why friendship after your 20s isn't found, it's BUILT on purpose. And stick around for my chat with Pete from Carma — the smart way to buy a used car online (delivered to your door, 7-day returns) and exactly how NOT to get played walking into a dealership this EOFY. 🚗

2026 is officially more than half over, and before you spiral, this is scientifically the best week of the year to restart anything.

This is a full Mindful Monday: I take you through the halfway reset (why you're allowed to formally quit your January goals today, guilt-free), the moment at the 36km mark of the Gold Coast Marathon where I almost borrowed someone else's dream, and the psychology of "goal contagion" that explains why we chase things we never actually wanted.

Plus: the waning moon energy making this the quietest, most reset-friendly week of the year, the journaling research behind a 42% jump in goal achievement, and one word + one intention to carry into your week.

For my small business gals, something juicy is coming. Last week's freebie is live, go grab it.

New episodes live weekdays 6:30am ACST. Chosen, not borrowed. ✨

It's Follow Through Friday and I've brought in the big guns: MUM. 👀

She lovingly calls me a "bower bird" — ideas pop in, ideas fall out, nothing gets done. Sound familiar? This episode she puts me through the SMART goal wringer live on air, and I finally commit to the singing lessons I've been talking about for weeks.

Plus, I'm launching Juicy July 🧃 — my spin on loud budgeting. Not a budget. Not restriction. Every dollar has to feel like an investment in your next-level self, or it doesn't get spent. 42% of Gen Z are already loud budgeting — here's how we make it feel GOOD instead of limiting.

Also in this episode: 🌴 Broadcasting from the Gold Coast (after nearly throwing my sound system off a balcony) 🍰 The dessert confession that had my driver on the treadmill at midnight 😢 More real talk on the loneliness epidemic — check on your "I'm fine" friends 💰 Sneak peek: a financial advisor joins us next week to talk building wealth, for the girls

If you've ever been more excited about imagining the thing than doing the thing — this one's for you.

It's End of Financial Year — so before the sales get you, Megs drops three honest money truth bombs: why a sale isn't a saving, the $1,700 a year Aussies waste on subscriptions they don't even use, and the no-spend reset she's planning. Then at the half-hour, her dear friend Michael Sherwell joins for a wildly inspiring chat on reinvention — the dad of four who's done it all (beekeeping, beer-making, business, and becoming a race-car driver at 40, nicknamed "the hooligan").
Michael opens up on rebuilding after divorce, parenting through chaos ("first connect before you correct"), killing the negative self-talk that spikes your cortisol, his pre-walk-through-the-door breathwork ritual, grounding, ho'oponopono, cryo chambers at -140°C, and the line that started it all: "I've got two eyes, two arms, two legs — why not me?"
Honest, funny, a little woo, very real. ⚡

You can manifest all you want, but if your nervous system treats money like a needy ex, it's never sticking around. This Money Monday, I'm breaking down the energetics of money — why affirmations alone don't work, the childhood beliefs quietly running your bank account, and the exact reframes that changed my relationship with money (and my balance).

Then I'm joined by Joel Gibson — Australia's #1 Bill Buster (Today Show, One Big Switch) for the EOFY episode you NEED before June 30. We're talking the sales FOMO trap, what "tax deductible" actually means, and the money-saving deadlines that could put hundreds back in your pocket this week.

Happy Friday — welcome to the last solo Mornings with Megs before next week's epic guests roll in. Today is all about celebration. Megs unpacks why the 6am run club has become the new pub (and what the loneliness research says about why connection beats the hangover), the "savoring science" of stretching out a good moment instead of cutting it short, why posting your wins isn't bragging when the intention is right, and how to throw yourself a half-year party with a fiscal new year reset. Honest, warm and a little chaotic (cat included) — exactly the vibe to carry into your weekend. Go celebrate the shit out of yourself.
