The Meg's Podcast

Que the 80’s song…Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting. You guessed it, on today’s episode we’re talking all about fighting with our spouses. Meg had some friends coming to town so a honey-do list was created for her husband. At the top of the list, paint a piece of furniture (yes, we all go a little crazy preparing for company). You’ll probably relate as you listen to how this fight went downhill fast. 

But after almost 20 years of marriage for both of us, we’ve learned some things along the way and share it with you. Do we go to bed angry? Do we fight in front of our kids? What are a few ways to diffuse a fight before it really begins? This episode will have you laughing and running for a notepad to jot down nuggets of great info for your marriage (or any relationship). And don’t miss the end when Meg learns a little more from her fight about painting furniture. It will encourage anyone who is feeling defeated, impatient or if things aren’t going quite as planned.

Good gracious, we love our guest this week. Our friend, Cintia Listanbee, is a wife, mom of three world changers (what a great description!) and journalist who grew up in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She’s a public speaker with a heart to spread hope, motivate others to start where they are and make progress towards a healthier life.

No doubt you will be inspired by Cintia’s words today and walk away challenged in many areas of life. This woman oozes wisdom and takes time to talk to us about her heritage, the realities of racism in America and how diversity is so beautiful. We all have the power to make a positive difference around us. You will be motivated to find new friends that are different from you and teach your children how to value all people. Her passion to love and serve those around her is the reminder we all need today.

The Megs are in vacay mode! Spring break is upon us so today’s episode is full of the best and worst of their family vacations. There is no shortage of laughs as they each share a family trip that didn’t go as planned. Spoiler alert: one of The Megs almost has a bathroom accident on the jet bridge of the airplane and one is rethinking her love for outdoor adventures.

They cover it all from Pine Cove camps in Texas to the Grand Canyon and all the way to Cancun! We hope you enjoy it as they reminisce about vacations...errrr... maybe vacations gone wrong. But still sweet memories made along the way with their families. Have a great spring break (maybe with a little less drama than these two!).

Meg springs a last minute idea on Megan and convinces her to do this episode! It starts off reminiscing about family dinner times when they were young and how it compares to now with their own kids. Moms, no judgment here on dinner selections because you’ll hear what The Megs fed their kids last night. #bestmomaward #maybenot

The conversation shifts gears and Meg takes a few minutes to make some funny confessions about herself and then shares how she’s been having some crazy dreams about waves, floods, anchors and wheat fields. Maybe it was the spicy chili she ate or some deeper meaning behind what’s waking her up. But the curiosity of her dreams led her to read a little in the book of Daniel. You’ll get a good laugh as The Megs recap the first few chapters of this book in the bible and learn a few life lessons along the way. And don’t miss the end when these mamas squeeze the good this week!

The Megs kick off the episode chatting about some favorite TV couples. Meg has been stuck watching too many Disney kid shows and Megan went all the way back to the 90’s to pick her favorite. They also admit some shows they’ve watched lately that have brought on a good cry.

But then they get a little more vulnerable and share some ugly cry moments they’ve both had this week. A random act of vandalism and some personal insecurities brought on the tears. Megan also shares her own past journey with depression and how she is able to recognize the difference between a funk mood and depression. They wrap it all up by chatting about the importance of self care and how that might look different for everyone. 

Even in our worst moods and moments, Megan and Meg are quick to remind us, we can always find something good, someway, somehow. We are definitely squeezing the good out of this episode.

The Megs are a bit clueless (that may be an understatement) when it comes to the Super Bowl. So they invite guest Rich Johnson to the episode for some help. He’s a friend, part of The Megs Podcast team and a football expert.

Things get funny and a little competitive as Megan and Meg answer questions about the Super Bowl past and present. Some of their answers leave Rich speechless, while other answers make him double over in laughter. 

They talk trivia, halftime shows, recipes and more. This episode is sure to boost your football confidence and leave you feeling like you’re the newest ESPN sports anchor. Well, maybe not. But we hope you get a good laugh and walk away with at least one new piece of football knowledge so you can hold your own at the Super Bowl party this year.

Listen. If there is one episode with the most embarrassing story, this is probably the one. The episode begins with Meg sharing her epic spray tan story gone waaaay wrong. But sometimes laughing at yourself is therapeutic for an embarrassed heart. They also dive into favorite shows they’re binge watching right now, potty training woes and stress eating realities. They’re not the only ones who grab the leftover Taco Bell on a bad day, right? But you’ll enjoy their few suggestions for a healthier way to combat stress eating.

The Megs wrap it up with a new twist to the end of their episodes called “It’s time to squeeze the good.” They each share one thing they’re loving right now. Meg’s is something yummy and Megan’s is a proud mom moment earlier in the week. Hopefully it inspires you to squeeze the good out of today too!
