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.

It's a shift that's been a long time coming, one that mirrors the evolution that I've been going through behind the scenes for the last couple of years. It's part update, part story-time, and part love letter to you, to this podcast, and to what's coming next.

Let’s talk about a tough truth in the events and hospitality world:
Burnout has been worn like a badge of honor for way too long. We’ve called it passion. We’ve justified toxic work environments in the name of excellence. But what if there’s another way to lead?
In this episode, I’m joined by Anthony Lambatos, CEO of Footers Catering and founder of Make It Better Every Day. Anthony is on a mission to prove that building a high-performing team doesn’t require chaos or compromise — and that culture isn’t just something you talk about at orientation. It’s something you live.
314. The 3 Small Habit Shifts That Changed My Energy, Focus, and CEO Mindset
