Self-care is a foundational piece of any type of personal growth and one of my favorite topics to dive into. Why? Because for so long I was horrible at it! It's also been my saving grace in letting go and stepping into a more calm and easier way of living.

Highlights of today's episode:

1. Why choosing two words for how you want to feel can change your life.
2. How "above the surface" self-care is much different than "below the surface" self-care.
3. The best tool I've used to avoid absorbing toxic energy from situations and others.

In today's episode, I share how the moments in time when a phone call or conversation changes everything is really when we see the purpose of our lives.

Everyone has had those moments. Seconds where everything shifts for the worse or better and yet underneath it all lies that moment of clarity where what is truly important becomes very evident

Highlights of today's episode:

1. Why surrendering to "what is" actually is the furthest thing from giving up.
2. A tool to keep you grounded in the present moment.
3. How staying attached to the highs or lows of life can drain your energy.

If you like today's episode, I would love for you to share this episode with someone you know who might be going through a difficult time.

I am going to get super vulnerable in this week's episode! An uncomfortable situation with one person followed by an angel of a friend sharing a podcast with me literally shifted things into something amazing for me.

If you feel you aren't always living in integrity and not being true to yourself for the sake of others, this episode is for you.

Highlights of today's episode:

1. What are social lies and how they can really damage you physically and emotionally.
2. What happens when we lie to ourselves.
3. One simple question to ask yourself that will keep you on the straight and narrow.

I have wanted to do a podcast on this topic for quite some time. Luckily, I met LeAnn Conway from Conway Image Consulting!

We could have talked for hours on wardrobe, mindset, etc. and I think you will love what she has to share.

Highlights of today's episode:

1. Why organizing your closet is secondary to what must happen first.
2. How your wardrobe is one ingredient of creating your personal brand.
3. Why you should NOT keep your clothes you no longer fit in.

You can learn more about Le Ann here.

Check her out on social media here:

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest

LeAnn's bio: LeAnn Conway is the founder of Conway Image Consulting, an image and wardrobe consulting business that helps busy professionals and entrepreneurs feel confident and put together from work to the weekend, and beyond.

Over the last ten years, she has coached, empowered, and styled hundreds of ambitious women and men about the importance of investing in themselves and their image.

LeAnn believes your wardrobe should reflect your unique image and personality. And a functional wardrobe includes all the essential pieces that highlight your style, fit your body, flatter your figure, work for your lifestyle, and most importantly, make YOU FEEL FABULOUS!

She is also a professional speaker who shares her knowledge regularly on all topics related to the A, B, C, & D's of Image (appearance, behavior, communication, and digital footprint).

How you present yourself at work can impact your career, but your presentation isn't limited to your clothing. Companies like Baker Tilly, Manpower, and Thrivent, to name a few, have benefited from the impact these workshops have had on their life.

When she's not working 1:1 with clients or at a speaking engagement, her greatest joy is spending time with her husband of 22 years, John, daughter, Harper, and puppy, Archie.

She loves a good adventure, traveling with her family and friends, trying new restaurants, chocolate, and spending time with her girlfriends!

In today's episode, I share my personal story of how different behaviors were stealing so much from my life. Things like alcohol, people-pleasing, lack of structure, and overwhelm.

We are all spiritual beings having at times difficult human experiences and it's our responsibility to become conscious of what we are creating. Simple mind shifts and new ways of looking at our behaviors, schedules, and life can save so much energy.

Highlights of today's episode:

1. What is "clean sleep" and how can you achieve it?
2. One thing to try every morning to create more mindfulness in your life.
3. The assumptions we make about other people's expectations of us and why we do it.

Are you ready to begin truly living? To squeeze the juice of life out of each day?

I hope my thoughts in today's casual free flow inspires you to seize the day in a beautiful way.

We always say our friendship is a "gold star" one basically because we practice personal growth tools on each other! Just like any friendship, we've had fun times and deeper times that required presence, listening, and ultimately kindness.

This week's episode is for all you people-pleasing sweet souls who never want to rock the boat and as a result, hide your voice... AND for those of you who try to communicate but the impact on others is the antithesis of what you set out to create. Either of these approaches, as Jane shares, can create conflict in relationships that actually have the potential to be healthy and authentic.

Highlights of today's episode:

1. The acronym Jane uses as a reminder to align her intent and behavior in order to achieve the results she desires.
2. Jane and Meg's favorite tool to use when having direct conversations.
3. When the best time is to actually have the conversations.
4. Why so many people are fearful of "conflict" and direct communication.

Loved having Jane back on the podcast. You can also listen to Episode #21 where we discuss parts of Don Miguel Ruiz's book, The Four Agreements.

Jane also has a free gift just for you! You can find it here.

I absolutely loved recording today's episode. It was even more special as it was inspired by an interaction with my niece this morning. How often do we let the tiny moments slip by when we could be infusing a little magic into a morning hello or simply by lighting candles in the early morning darkness?

In today's podcast episode I explore the idea of creating coziness and calm in tiny moments of the day and how that can really expand your joy.

Highlights of today's episode:

1. Why speaking in a British accent lightens my mood.
2. How simple pleasures can still exist when other parts of your life seem chaotic.
3. Where you can look for little pockets of mindfulness throughout the day.

Life is sometimes difficult. We have obligations, things to do, and people to care for. Yet I gently challenge you to look for moments where you can swap out mundane habits and replace them with an awareness for the magic of life. Remember the universe is working in your favor and circumstances do not matter when it comes to 5 minutes of calm in one day. You deserve it. Your body needs it. As a sensitive soul, it's your responsibility!

As always, I just love connecting with you, and thank you for giving me the space to explore all things beautiful, mystical, and special.

Love,

Meg

Are you as my friend used to call me "a whirling dervish" from sunrise to sunset? Do you find yourself unable to sit down in silence even for a minute? Do you check your phone at the stoplight? Find that wine time is your favorite part of the day?

When we rush through the day, we tend to miss the meaningful moments and fall into habits that we hope will take the overwhelm away but inevitably increase it even more.

Highlights of today's episode:

1. How the effects of morning Tai Chi can linger within your energy for the entire day.
2. Why rushing can block weight loss.
