Manifestation is a trendy topic right now, and it’s a topic that has snuck into many of our previous episodes. Although many people are talking about it, it can be difficult to actually figure out how it works.

Today, we are talking about our own takes on manifestation and how it assists us in reaching the goals we set at any time, not just in the new year.

There are many parts of manifestation including:

We dive deep into not only the concepts today but also the tangible steps we take to practice manifestation in our daily lives.

If you’re looking for a down-to-earth conversation about growth, reaching new goals, becoming better humans, and getting in alignment with what is right for you, you’ll love this episode!

Happy New Year! How many times have you heard "New Year, New Me" already this year or in the past?

It’s such a common phrase that is said with good intentions but never seems to actually get accomplished.

How can we expect ourselves to make such big changes just because the date becomes January 1? It’s a very interesting concept we’ve created.

And, it’s capitalized on more than any other day of the year by large corporations that don’t actually want you to succeed.

Now, you know we’re all about self-improvement, becoming the highest version of ourselves, learning, growing, and change. But these things are a life-long process, not something that can be accomplished in one day.

When we put so much pressure on ourselves to turn everything around once the clock strikes midnight, we’re setting ourselves up for failure. This is why so many people have the same intention every single new year.

If this is you, it’s okay. We’ve all been there. Today we’re discussing how we can break free from the “New Year, New Me” cycle and take steps to reach our fullest potential every day of the year.

Some topics covered in this episode include:

The holiday season can be so many things and bring up so many feelings. It can be fun and heartwarming to overwhelming and exhausting and everything in between.

Last week we talked about staying true to ourselves during this time of year. Today, we’re discussing what we do after holiday gatherings. It’s important we take time to reflect on each day, especially when we have certain intentions for it.

How did it go?

These are just a few questions we can ask ourselves to continue to grow towards our highest and truest selves.

Today, we tell many stories and touch on many topics. How to say no or turn down an invitation nicely, how to pull ourselves out of an overthinking spiral, and how to give ourselves grace instead of falling into the trap of perfectionism are just a few.

Doing the work to set intentions, become present, reflect, and set new intentions is always worth it.

How will you reflect on this holiday season? Let us know on Instagram @themegandmaggipodcast!

This week on The Meg And Maggi Podcast we discuss both the importance and difficulties of being ourselves during holiday gatherings instead of who those closest to us want us to be.

It’s easy to show up as the person you used to be. The one everyone thinks they know. People around us are more comfortable when we stay the same.

But there’s a good chance you’re not the same person you were last year and the year before. You’ve grown. You’ve changed. At least in some ways. This is a good thing and nothing to be ashamed of.

Today we’re talking about how we handle the pressure of leveling up as a human and going back to old environments. We’re talking about shattering glass ceilings. We’re talking about being okay with being ourselves.

This episode features a segment of us responding to awkward questions we’re most likely to be asked this year. We explain how we used to respond to them and how we would respond now (and it’s pretty funny).

This episode will take you high, low, to the depths of your heart, and fill your stomach with laughter. We can’t wait for you to hear it.

This week on The Meg And Maggi Podcast we interview our first guest, Kyle Goldstein.

This conversation is a beautiful blend of many topics we are all passionate about. We dive into not only mindfulness, surrender, and breaking generational patterns, but also rebuilding the health of our hometown community, creating and maintaining healthy habits as a parent, and so much more.

Kyle is native to the Sullivan County area, growing up in the village of Liberty. He started his spiritual journey over 10 years ago when he decided it was necessary to change his life. At that moment,  he surrendered, found a new way to live, and quickly adopted the motto: “life live through experiences,” and from that day, it didn’t take long for him to realize what he needed to accomplish to live a happy and healthy lifestyle.

Yoga showed up during a transitional period of his life and he fell in love with the way the practice calmed his mind and energized his body. At first, it was a hobby, which quickly became a part of his routine, and then fully blossomed into one of his life’s passions. He truly believes that people have the ability to change, to adjust their lifestyles in a way that makes them a better version of themselves one day at a time. In the summer of 2018, he completed his 200-hour YTT at the Ashtanga Mysore Yoga Shala in Mysore, India, and most recently received his license as a Clinical Nutrition Specialist, graduating from New York Chiropractic College in 2020.

Kyle truly believes that people have the ability to change, to adjust their lifestyles in a way that makes them a better version of themselves one day at a time. He knows from personal experience how satisfying it was, and still is, to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-care through a healthy lifestyle. What excites him even more is the idea that he can directly play a part in someone else’s journey; help transform their lives in such a way that they will hopefully carry on their own ideals for the entirety of their lives.

You’re definitely going to want to tune into this incredible conversation!

Making big decisions in life can be terrifying. It’s incredibly scary to leave safe and stable environments for a path less traveled, even when we know deep in our gut that it is the right decision for us.

This week on The Meg and Maggi Podcast, we both share our stories of leaving safe, traditional career paths for ones that light our souls on fire.

In our work and in other areas of life, we must dance with both pushing ourselves forward and taking a step back to evaluate. There can be value in plowing ahead to get to our next goal, but what about when the mountain we are climbing isn’t going to get us to our desired destination? It is then that we must step back, be honest with ourselves, and take a new path.

It’s scary to take a leap of faith and bet on ourselves, especially when it comes to how we make money and put food on our tables. But to us, living an “okay” life isn’t going to cut it.

We all must choose the best path for ourselves. Some people will take big risks and become entrepreneurs. Some people absolutely love having a 9-5 or working for someone else. All paths are beautiful when we choose the one that makes us feel most alive!

You’ll find our stories incredibly relatable because they are real and raw. We all face these struggles when it comes to big life decisions and it’s important we come together and share them.

Do you ever skip your workout because you don't have enough time? 

Today we're going to teach you how to combat this very common barrier to exercise. 

Time is very limited during our busy days, but that isn't an excuse to not move your body and keep it healthy. Your body is your home, after all, and it's important that we treat it well to be treated well in return. 

This episode starts off with a story about Maggi's morning on the day this episode was recorded. Maggi walks you through her thought process and how she made the decision to exercise that day and what she was going to do based on her time constraints and her mood.

We can change our mindset using exercise. We can change our entire day through exercise. The days we are busy are usually the days we need to exercise the most.

Naturally, this conversation turns into a much deeper one than just choosing a workout for the day. Be sure to listen in and come along for the ride!

If you’re anything like us, you’ve had at least one uncomfortable experience at a holiday gathering. Spending holidays with family and friends can be both great and unsettling at times.

With Thanksgiving coming up and the December holidays right around the corner, we share in this episode how we’ve learned to navigate food and other people during this time of the year. This hasn’t been easy for us.

First, we discuss how we used to experience holidays, then what we’ve done to shift our experience, and finally how we approach these gatherings now.

Of course, our conversation is much deeper than just food and interactions with other people. We dive into topics such as:

And so much more.

Here are some reminders and takeaways from today’s episode:

We encourage you to reflect on these reminders and get clear on what your current values are.

Do you ever feel like you’re playing a smoldered, smaller version of yourself in order to fit in?

This is exactly what we’re talking about in this week’s episode of TheMegAndMaggiPodcast.

We were taught at a young age that we needed to act in a certain way in order to be “good” and receive praise from both our peers and adults, yet “good” never seems to be “good enough.”

Today, we tell our stories of when we learned to act in a certain way in order to make other people feel comfortable, when we started to learn that those personas weren’t us being ourselves, and the steps we’ve taken to break free from who other people want us to be.

It’s time to live life as yourself and stop worrying about what other people think.

So often, we are concerned about disappointing others and making the “wrong decision” that we play small and conform to standards. It’s easier that way. But this never makes us feel well. We feel uncomfortable and know something is wrong.

Here are some questions to consider as you listen to this episode:

Remember, our stories are just that: ours. What you want for your life, who you want to be, and the life you want to live will look different than ours. That is exactly the point. We encourage you to reflect on our stories and these questions and see how they apply to you and your life.

There is nothing too big that we can’t dream up and have in our life.

Who do you want to be?

This week on TheMegAndMaggiPodcast we discuss a big question we all have faced many times: when do I push through and rely on discipline and when do I give myself a bit of grace?

We are taught that hard work leads to success. We tend to make this mean that work is good and rest is bad. It's very easy to get sucked into the all-or-nothing mindset when it comes to work, exercise, food, and many other aspects of life.

Listen to this week's episode to hear what we used to think about grace, discipline, rest, and work. Then, we dive into our current understanding of these concepts and how we view them working together now instead of against each other. 

In order to produce great results, we must go through periods of work and periods of rest. This applies to many areas of life, and we really dig into the examples of work and exercise in this episode. 

It's important that when we are in a situation where we are questioning which approach to take, grace or discipline, that we also take time to reflect on our decision afterward. Did we make the right decision in that situation? If so, take note of how you felt and which decision you made. This will help guide you in the future. If you feel as if you didn't make the right decision, also take note of how you felt and which decision you made. This way, when you're faced with a similar situation in the future, you can course-correct and choose a more suitable approach.

Sometimes we must rest in order to produce great work. And other times, we must not listen to the voices in our head telling us to give up. The more we practice making this decision and reflect on it, the easier it is to trust ourselves in the future.
