What happens when the one thing you've done most of your life, the one thing you have been known for and are most passionate about, is no longer your main focus? Today, I’m sharing my personal journey of stepping away from dance after 20 years and what I’ve learned about my identity, growth, and the importance of rediscovering joy in different places.

We will discuss:

• Life after letting go of your creative passion and finding new ways to reinvent parts of yourself
• Feeling a loss of identity
• Fear of returning to what you once loved
• Making space for new routines, rest, and self-discovery

It's okay to evolve, because you are more than just one thing.

@samuelwong, you are beyond talented my friend

Today we're diving deep into the transformative journey of embracing a single life and truly falling in love with yourself. Whether you're newly single, have been flying solo for years, or you're in a relationship and craving more emotional independence, this episode is for you.

We'll reflect on what it means to be happy alone, why building a healthy relationship with yourself first should be a priority, and why this season of life—no matter how long—is a sacred opportunity for personal growth, inner peace, and self-discovery.

Whether you’re healing from a breakup, choosing solitude, or simply seeking clarity, this episode is a powerful reminder that being single doesn’t mean being lonely or being the odd man out—it means being aligned with you.

In this cozy episode, we're diving into how to make fall just as fun as summer.

Because being able to embrace each season's uniqueness allows us to create more meaningful moments all year round.

Whether you’re someone who dreads summer ending or you already live for all things autumn, this episode will help you find mindful ways to enjoy fall. From forming new habits, to spending warm nights in, to having fresh starts and exciting goals, this episode will get you excited for pumpkin spice and everything nice!

@samuelwong, thank you friend. You are so loved!

In today's episode of Solful Living with Megs, we're going to sit back and relax. So grab a coffee, matcha, or whatever your comfort drink of choice is to chill with me while we have a little chit chat & catch up. The last week of moving and unpacking has been so busy for me, so I figured it'd be a perfect week to have a lighthearted episode about random updates and some of my favourite book recommendations if you're looking for your next read!

@samuelwong, miss you my friend! Thank you for your musical talent

Not all red flags scream at you — some simply whisper. In today's episode, we dive into the subtle signs in relationships that can be easy to dismiss, but critical to notice early on. From mismatched attachment styles, boundary-pushing behaviours turned into “jokes”, and butterflies that might actually be anxiety — this list of 20 subtle red flags is a must-hear for anyone dating, healing, or reflecting.

You’ll learn how to spot the disconnect between words and actions, why your gut feeling matters, and how to protect your peace without ignoring the signs early on.

If any of this resonates with your today, please share it with someone who might need the reminder too — and let’s normalize not ignoring the quiet signs any longer.

In today's episode, we explore how our fast-paced society glorifies busyness, often at the expense of our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. And because of this, sometimes life will force you to take a break, whether we want to or not. We'll dive into the surprising benefits of slowing down: deeper relationships, better decision-making, enhancing presence, and cultivating a stronger connection with your inner peace.

Inspired by a blog from Your Time to Grow (https://yourtimetogrow.com/the-power-of-slowing-down/), I share practical ways to embrace rest, reset your nervous system, and honour your energy through intentional living.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for doing “nothing” or feel like you’re constantly on a hamster wheel (literally or figuratively)—this episode is your reminder that slowing down adds more to your life than constantly pushing forward, without rest, ever will.

@samuelwong, you know the drill - lots of love to you.

In today's episode of Solful Living with Megs, we'll dive deep into the emotion we all try to avoid — regret — and explore whether it’s emotional punishment...or a powerful lesson for growth.

I'll reflect on personal stories, common experiences (like Sunday Scaries or staying in a toxic relationship for too long), and psychological insights to reframe how we look at our past and past regrets. We'll discuss how regret, while painful, can serve as an inner compass guiding us toward self-awareness, healing, and personal evolution.

You'll learn how to shift from shame to self-forgiveness, from those looping thoughts to learning, and from being stuck in the past to the important of living fully in the present. Through shared experiences and vulnerable moments, we unpack how regret is not weakness — it's your inner wisdom asking to be heard.

By the end, you’ll be invited to stop fearing regret and start listening to it — because what if your biggest regret is actually your biggest teacher?

@samuelwong, thank you for your musical talent I get to share with my listeners.

The core of today's episode explores the theme of change — timely and fitting as we approach the seasonal transition of September, a symbolic new beginning for many. We'll dive into the emotions surrounding change: from fear of the unknown, starting over, and imposter syndrome, to self-sabotage and the powerful pull of comfort and routine.

We address the science behind why we resist change, including the role of the amygdala and dopamine system, and I'll offer thoughtful, compassionate reminders that you are capable, deserving, and powerful. You'll be reminded that resisting change can shrink our world, but choosing growth builds resilience and self-trust.

Some key takeaways from today:

• Change is the only constant, and although it's scary, it's also full of potential.
• You're not alone in your fears — but those fears don't get to decide your future.
• There's room for you, your voice, and your vision.
• Embrace discomfort — it’s a sign you're growing.

Join me for a vulnerable and soulful conversation that will inspire you to step boldly into change, honour your unique path, and live fully and unapologetically.

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the complex emotions of loneliness vs. being alone. Inspired by an upcoming personal life transition—moving into a new place and living alone for the first time—I reflect on what it means to develop a strong, loving connection with our inner world.

We explore:

• The difference between loneliness and being alone
• The power of mindful solitude and how it can reduce stress and boost creativity
• The 7 types of loneliness (as defined by Gretchen Rubin)
• Eye-opening statistics from Canada, the U.S., and the UK on how common loneliness really is
• Practical ways to build a deeper connection with yourself through self-love habits, journaling, meditation, and more - because a better relationship starts with you

I also share a personal story behind my tattoo “be” and what it symbolizes in my journey toward grounding, self-compassion, and simply being in hopes that it will remind you to also want to just be.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected—even surrounded by people—or wondered how to transform alone time into a source of strength, this episode is for you. You are not alone, and you are always worthy of love, presence, and support.
