Hey, I’m Megan (your go-to for keeping it real).
I’ve spent my career building businesses, leading teams, and unlearning a whole lot of B.S. along the way. I started in hospitality, scaled a luxury wedding planning business, and now I help high-achievers like you navigate the messy, in-between moments of growth.
I know what it’s like to chase success, burn out, and realize something has to change. So now? I’m all about redefining what success actually looks like—without the overworking, people-pleasing, or pressure to have it all figured out.
This podcast is where we talk about the real stuff—leadership, life pivots, and the mindset shifts that help you build a career (and a life) that actually feels good. Let’s do this.
