      • Ep. 58 Interview With Sarah Plowman

        In this episode, Sarah and I explore the liberating power of taking responsibility for ourselves.   Sarah shares her experience of how taking responsibility for herself has transformed her life and allowed her to feel free, content, and sufficient.

        We discuss the concept of people pleasing and both recognize that people pleasing is a form of manipulation.  We talk about the fear that many people may feel when they hear the idea of taking responsibility for themselves, but Sarah emphasizes how it is worth it, even though it may be challenging.

            As a relationship coach and teacher of meditation and yoga, I understand the importance of creating sacred time for myself.

            The Selfish Hour is a must-read for anybody seeking personal growth and transformation. Megan wrote this book from a place of being healed and provides practical tips on how to transform your mind in just one hour a day.

It's important to be your own person and not try to fit in.

              • Ep. 55 How to Apologize From a Place of Love

                Making a sincere apology can have a profound impact on your level of self-worth. What I realized over the last several weeks is that I realized that the way I was taught about making an apology was that it was either "owed" like a bad debt or it came with a lot of strings attached.  

                What you'll learn in this episode:   

                1. When we apologize from a place of fear, it has a different energy to it. It feels heavy and haunting. There's an air of manipulation to it. 
                2. When we apologize from a place of love, it feels genuine. 
                3. A sincere apology can give anyone a sense of freedom when we come from the right place. 
                4. I'm delighted to say that learning to sincerely and timely apologize is one of the biggest gifts I've ever given to myself.

                          Today's episode is all about the different types of mama drama. It looks different for all of us. Drama doesn't mean anything has gone wrong. It's something that you have control over.
