Meagan is back behind the mic and reintroducing the Resting Bliss Face Podcast, sharing why she first launched it in 2019 as a fitness instructor and health coach with two little ones at home. Her goal then (and now) was simple: be a positive voice for women, remind them to take care of themselves, and help them expand what they believe is possible.

Since those early episodes, life has grown in the best ways. Meagan welcomed a third baby and opened her own Pilates studio in her town, which just celebrated its two-year anniversary. In a world that often feels chaotic and loud, her mission remains the same: to hype you up, encourage you, and remind you that you're capable of more than you think.

This episode centers around one powerful theme: creating opportunity instead of waiting for it.

Meagan walks through her journey, from childhood dreams of working in Boston radio, to building a corporate career in mutual funds, landing a job at KISS 108, making the leap to New York radio, and choosing Equinox despite people warning her it was a "resume killer." That leap opened doors to roles at Rue La La and eventually being recruited by Yahoo.

All the while, she was building her fitness career on the side, completing teacher training while working full-time, launching coaching programs, creating an on-demand platform during COVID (while pregnant and sick), and eventually opening her own studio after noticing a gap in her local community.

She shares openly that she didn't have industry connections or family financial backing. What did she have? A willingness to bet on herself, over and over again. Setbacks weren't failures; they were lessons.

Meagan also gives a few current updates: the studio is thriving, she's planning another retreat, teasing a new upcoming initiative, and has partnered with Atmosphera, a female-founded, climate-specific skincare company she genuinely loves. If you're curious, she invites you to reach out (no pressure at all) and mentions she'll include a link in the show notes!

She wraps up by sharing that she now has a team helping edit the podcast, with a goal of releasing episodes twice a month. You can connect with her on Instagram at @megfitz.gerald

Quotes

• "The amount of adipose tissue, fat cells, on your body does not necessarily mean healthy or unhealthy." (2:07-2:15)

• "My version of healthy is to not be sick. My version of healthy is to be energized and not stressed. It means having some time to find joy. That's what healthy is to me." (2:50-3:03)

• "The real reason I exercise, specifically during this time, is because I believe movement is medicine." (4:52-4:57)

• "Think about your body as your greatest gift. One that you would treat with love and respect. How would you treat yourself if your body was truly a gift? What would you choose to do?" (5:43-5:53)

• "Just because you can chew something, swallow it, and poop it out, doesn't make it real food." (9:19-9:26)

I'm super excited to share Episode 93 with you. Between managing my kids' activities and juggling my own commitments, I found a moment to sit down and really dive into the topic of goals. And let me tell you, it's not just your typical New Year resolution chat. I've got some fresh, insightful perspectives on goals and what they really mean for us.

Topics Covered:

• Introduction to Goals: I kicked off the episode discussing the importance of goals, not just at the beginning of the year but all year round.

• Rejecting 'New Year, New You'

• The True Value of Goals: How goals are essential for providing focus and direction, rather than just being endpoints.

• Becoming Through Goals: A key theme was how the journey to achieving a goal is often more valuable than the goal itself.

• Marathon Running Example: I used the example of training for a marathon to illustrate personal growth and change that occur when pursuing a challenging goal.

• My approach to weight loss and financial goals.

• Contrast in Approaches: I contrasted positive, love-led goal pursuit with negative, self-deprecating approaches and their respective outcomes.

• The Importance of Intention: The episode highlighted how the intention behind setting a goal significantly influences the journey and the outcome.

Oh boy, do I have some news for you! In the midst of my usual mom duties – dropping one kid at yoga, another at dance class, and managing the third – I realized I had to pause and share this monumental update with you all. It's a huge leap, one that has me equally terrified and exhilarated.

I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that I am opening my own fitness studio! This is by far one of the biggest and most exciting announcements of my career. The studio, located in a picturesque downtown area with water views, is going to be a sanctuary for fitness and wellness. It's not just a fitness studio; it's a dream coming to life, a space that embodies my vision and passion for helping others through physical and mental well-being.

Topics Covered:

• Major Announcement: I'm opening my own fitness studio! It's a huge step in my career, and I'm both nervous and thrilled.

• My vision is to create a warm, cozy, and uplifting environment where everyone feels elevated and at peace.

• Diverse Fitness Options: We'll offer a variety of classes including Pilates, barre, barless barre, sculpt, and yoga.

• The studio's ethos is all about welcoming and celebrating all body types, shapes, sizes, and colors.

• I reflect on my journey from teaching fitness seven days a week to scaling down post-pandemic, and now, embarking on this new adventure.

• This move was inspired by a desire to create a space that aligns with my personal vision and vibe, different from what I've experienced before.

• Self Concept Shift: This new venture is reshaping my self-concept – from a life coach and fitness instructor to now a studio owner.

• Online Platform and Coaching Business My online platform and coaching business will continue alongside the studio, so no worries there!
