The Photographer's Couch

No One Is Coming


Listen Later

In this short but powerful episode of The Photographer’s Couch, Megan shares one of her favorite mindset shifts inspired by Mel Robbins — the reminder that “No one is coming for you.”

Whether you’re building a business, chasing a dream, or just trying to get yourself off the couch and moving again, this phrase is a wake-up call. It’s not meant to discourage — it’s meant to empower. Because the truth is, no one else can want your life, your goals, or your growth more than you do.

Megan opens up about how this message shows up in her everyday life — both as a business owner and as a mom — and how she uses it to motivate herself (and her kids) to take action, even when it’s hard.

🧠 Key Takeaways

You are your biggest motivator. Others can cheer you on, but no one can take the steps for you.

No one is coming to save you. The sooner you embrace that truth, the more power you have to create the life you want.

Self-discipline is self-respect. Doing the things you don’t want to do — because you know they’ll get you closer to what you want — builds confidence and momentum.

You can find your own way to “make yourself do it.” For Megan, the phrase “no one is coming for you” is the reminder that gets her unstuck every time.

👩‍👧 Real-Life Reflection

As a mom, Megan reminds her kids that she’ll always be one of their biggest cheerleaders — but she can’t want their dreams more than they do. Whether it’s practicing, studying, or showing up when it’s tough, it’s up to them to make it happen.

And the same is true for business owners. No one’s coming to build your brand, post your content, or make the hard decisions — that’s all you. But that’s also the beauty of it: you have the power to change everything.

💡 The Big Reminder

No one is coming to do it for you.

But the second you realize that — and decide to do it for yourself — you take back all the power.
