Dr. Meghan's Positivity Tips:

What are you feeding yourself? Food is not the only thing we take in on a daily basis- what are you listening to on the radio? Who are you listening to on the phone? What stories do you tell yourself? Be intentional about what you consume.

Start early. Get up and move. Twenty minutes of intentional exercise each morning is a game changer.

Put it out in the universe. Write down five things you are thankful for every, single day– even if the only thing you are thankful for is the pen you are using to write. Starting with gratitude sets the tone for the day.

In our seventh conversation together, Tiffany Topel and I dive into the ideas from Ray Oldenburg's book The Great Good Place and Richard Kyte’s book Finding Your Third Place—and what it really means to discover a space beyond home and work where you feel truly alive. We explore why “third places” matter for our happiness, how to create meaningful community, and the small steps you can take to build deeper connections right where you are.

Whether your third place is a coffee shop, a hiking trail, a yoga studio, or simply the people who bring out your best self, this episode will inspire you to find (or reclaim) the spaces that feed your soul.

In this episode of Share the Good Juju, I sit down with Synara Brown, a Red Diamond leader with Tranont and a shining example of what it means to lead with heart, hustle, and unwavering faith. Synara shares the mindset behind her success, how she learned to “wait for the no,” and why too many people give up before the magic happens. We talk about the power of patience, the importance of counting your blessings, and how to focus on fixing what you can control. Whether you’re building a business or just trying to stay positive in a challenging world, Synara’s wisdom will leave you inspired and ready to keep going.
