The Rabbit Hole with Jacqui and Megan

We dive into the very real pressure behind passion culture: how it creates confusion, shame, and burnout when your life doesn’t align with a single, shiny, all-consuming capital-P purpose. 

We talk about how this idea has been weaponized in both the self-help world and the online business space, and how it often leads to stress, not satisfaction.

Listen if you’ve ever:

• Felt guilty for not being lit up by your work
• Wondered if you’re “wasting your potential”
• Tried to monetize something you love and ended up resenting it
• Needed a break from the pressure to always be “on purpose”

In this episode, we dive into the weird pressure that comes with the new year — how “fresh start energy” can feel simultaneously exciting and overwhelming, and why “new year, new me” messaging misses the mark entirely.

We explore how this season affects your nervous system, how to know what you actually want (versus what you think you should want), and why rest, reflection, and softness deserve just as much space as chasing big goals.

If you’ve ever said:

1. “I know what to do, I just can’t seem to DO it…”
2. “I feel like I’m meant for more, but I keep getting in my own way…”
3. “I want to grow, but I’m exhausted from trying so hard…”

…this episode turns the old advice to “get out of your comfort zone” upside down. 

Megan and Jacqui share:

1. Why staying “stuck” is often a sign of survival, not self-sabotage
2. How to recognize the sneaky ways your comfort zone disguises itself as logic, safety, or “good enough”
3. The difference between pushing past fear vs. partnering with your nervous system for sustainable growth
4. A practical mindset shift to move forward with more ease, not more effort

Instead of trying harder, what if you tried softer?

Abundance gets a lot of airtime in personal development and spiritual spaces.

But what does it even mean?

In this episode, we peel back the buzzword and look at what abundance really is — and what it’s not. Because if abundance is always about thinking bigger, dreaming more, and manifesting everything...it starts to look like just another hustle in disguise.

We explore how the nervous system plays a major role in your ability to feel abundant, why lack is more than just a “mindset,” and how redefining abundance on your own terms is a power move.

We’ve all heard it. Maybe we’ve even said it.

But when you're the one in the thick of loss, grief, or confusion, the phrase “everything happens for a reason” can feel hurtful. Or at the very least, deeply unhelpful.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the discomfort behind this classic spiritual bypass. We explore the psychological urge to “make meaning” out of hard things, and why real compassion requires something deeper than a catchphrase.

In this episode, we pull apart the icky advice that tells you to “trade your expectations for appreciation” (also sounds like: “just be grateful” and “let go of expectations”) — and how that can leave you feeling silenced, resentful, or stuck pretending everything’s fine when it’s not.

This one’s for the overachievers, the spiritually exhausted, and anyone who’s been told “you’re limitless” while very much feeling their limits.

In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, we’re side-eyeing the self help slogan that insists you can do anything, be anything, and achieve everything…as long as you “get out of your own way.”

Listen if you’ve ever:

• Felt pressure to be more — even when you’re exhausted
• Burned out chasing your “limitless potential”
• Judged yourself for hitting a wall
• Wanted permission to grow within your (yes – limited!) capacity

Back in 2016, Megan posted this quote on Instagram:

“Indecision is the worst place to be.”

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane with baby life coach Megan to unpack why she believed that then—and how Today Megan sees things differently.

We dip a toe into perfectionism, Tony Robbins makes a guest appearance (in memory only), and rush-to-clarity culture gets the side-eye.

Listen if you’ve ever:

• Felt pressure to “just pick already”
• Thought indecision made you weak or flaky
• Rushed into choices just to escape the discomfort of waiting
• Needed permission to not know—yet

You’ve heard it before: "How you do one thing is how you do everything.”

Is it really though? In this episode, we're giving it the side-eye. Big time.

Because while that phrase might sound ok on the surface, it’s often weaponized as a shortcut to shame, oversimplification, or snap judgments about people (including ourselves).

In true Rabbit Hole fashion, we dig into what’s really going on beneath your habits, reactions, and patterns — and how context, capacity, and self-compassion factor in.

Listen if you’ve ever:

• Felt called out by this quote and didn’t know why
• Judged yourself for not “doing it all” perfectly
• Wondered why you show up differently in different parts of your life
• Wanted to understand your patterns without spiraling into shame
