🎙️ Episode Title: The Next Right Things

Episode Description: Do you ever find yourself stuck—replaying a mistake, sitting in guilt, or continuing a pattern simply because it feels comfortable? In this first episode of 2026, Megan shares the phrase that’s helping her move forward when life feels heavy: The next right thing.

Instead of striving for perfection or getting trapped in regret, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and ask one simple question that can shift everything. Whether you’re navigating parenting struggles, business mistakes, financial slip-ups, or just feeling behind, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t come from fixing everything at once—it comes from taking the next step forward.

This conversation is gentle, honest, and meant to meet you exactly where you are.

✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • Why we stay stuck in problems instead of moving forward
  • How comfort can keep us repeating the same patterns
  • What “The Next Right Thing” actually means in everyday life
  • Letting go of guilt after mistakes—especially in parenting and business
  • Why you don’t need a perfect plan to make progress
  • How small, intentional steps can change the direction of your year

đź§  A Few Moments That May Hit Home:

  • “We can’t go back—but we often sit in that space too long.”
  • “The goal isn’t perfection. It’s forward motion.”
  • “The next right thing after a mistake is learning—not spiraling.”

đź’› Take This With You:

You don’t have to fix everything today. You don’t have to be perfect to move forward. All you need is the next right thing.

Sometimes that’s apologizing. Sometimes it’s resting. Sometimes it’s showing up again tomorrow.

🎧 Listen If You’re:

  • Feeling stuck or behind as the new year begins
  • Struggling with guilt after a mistake
  • Trying to balance parenting, business, and personal growth
  • Looking for a gentle, realistic way to move forward
