The Rabbit Hole with Jacqui and Megan

We’re diving into another rabbit hole where a self-help soundbite oversimplifies something way more complex (and leaves you with a distinct feeling of “ew”).

In this episode, we go beneath the manifesting memes, mindset mantras, and vision board vibes to explore what’s actually shaping your reality.

Listen if you’ve ever:

• Felt gaslit by mindset culture
• Wondered why affirmations don’t seem to work
• Wanted to manifest big things – but felt blocked
• Been told your “low vibe energy” is the problem 🙄

Do your thoughts really create your reality?

Dive into the rabbit hole with us, and let’s find out…

You’ve seen the pyramid.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has been everywhere — from therapist memes to self-help books to business coaching slideshows.

But what if we told you…

→ It was never actually meant to be a hierarchy

→ And a 6th core need was completely left out of the pyramid?

In this episode, we’re pulling apart the layers of Maslow’s original theory, what’s been oversimplified (or flat-out ignored), and how those distortions show up in the coaching, healing, and business worlds today.

Because the truth is: growth isn’t linear, safety isn’t a prerequisite for purpose, and your needs aren’t a staircase you have to climb in perfect order.

You know that moment when you're about to do something big — and suddenly your entire body is like, “absolutely not”? Yeah. That.

In this episode of The Rabbit Hole, we’re talking about the very real fear that comes up when you’re stepping into something new — and what it actually means to “feel the fear and do it anyway” (without bypassing your probably very valid panic spiral).

We chat about how fear can actually signal alignment, and why doing the brave thing doesn't always mean feeling ready. 

Plus: the Instagram quote that can go straight to hell... and the inner child moment that caught us both off guard.

Human Design is powerful — but like anything rooted in self-discovery, it can cross the line from tool to identity real quick.

In this episode, we (mostly Megan 👀) are breaking down the misconceptions and myths about Human Design that can do more harm than good — especially when they’re used to keep people stuck, small, or overly identified with their “type”.

We talk about the red flags to watch out for, why some Human Design content feels more like a diagnosis than a tool, and how you can use your chart as a compass instead of a cage. Jacqui asks the spicy questions. Megan brings the nuanced fire. It’s a whole vibe.

Whether you're deep in your HD era or HD-curious with a little side-eye... this one's for you.

You’ve probably seen someone tapping their face on TikTok and thought, “that looks…weird.” Or maybe you’ve tried EFT tapping, but are wondering if there’s any real science behind it (spoiler: there sure is).

In this episode, Jacqui breaks down what EFT tapping actually is, how it works with your nervous system (not against it), and why it’s not about manifesting your dream life by skipping over your feelings. We talk about the science, the spiritual side, and how to use tapping without turning it into another self-help performance.
