And yet…there’s a quiet ripple of discontent.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It’s subtle at first. A sense of discomfort. Restlessness. Agitation. Maybe even resentment. Until one day, it becomes impossible to ignore.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That’s how it unfolded for Megan Dalla Camina.</p><p>A women’s leadership expert, and bestselling author, Megan spent 18 years at the top of her game in &nbsp;&nbsp;her corporate career —often the only woman in the room—until she reached a breaking point and realised she couldn’t continue living a life that no longer felt true.</p><p>What followed was a profound return to herself.</p><p>A self-described “forever seeker”,&nbsp;Megan has empowered tens of thousands of women to reconnect with their feminine energy, and their truth.</p><p>In this episode of My Spiritual Side, she shares why <strong>awakening</strong> isn’t for the faint hearted —it’s a heroine’s journey—and how it begins with one powerful question:</p><p><em>Is this what I want for my life?</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>In this episode, Megan shares:</u></p><ul><li>Her daily spiritual practice including meditation, pranayama, reflection, mantras, japa practice and kriya breathwork.</li><li>The concept of <em>spiritual lineage</em>—being connected to teachings passed down through generations of masters.</li><li>Why she describes herself as a “forever seeker,” deeply committed to her spiritual path while building a high-profile career in leadership and women’s empowerment.</li><li>The life events that changed her trajectory - including chronic fatigue syndrome and a car accident in her 20s- which forced a profound redirection.</li><li>Her successful 18-year corporate career, often as the only woman in the room, which caused her to disconnection from herself.</li><li>How burnout at 36 became a wake-up call—a “blinding light” that revealed her way of living and working was no longer sustainable.</li><li>Why transformation rarely begins with clarity or awakening, but instead with discomfort, resentment, and a quiet sense that something needs to change.</li><li>The cost of living out of alignment<strong>; </strong>Many women live a “double life” disconnected from their truth. As Megan says: <em>“It costs us our soul.”</em></li><li>The first step towards change is radical honesty, asking, <em>“Is this what I want for my life?” </em>and creating space to really tune into the answer.</li><li>Why awakening “is not for the faint-hearted” - it’s a heroine’s journey shaped by small, aligned actions rather than dramatic, life-altering leaps.</li><li>The return to self is about<strong> </strong>reconnecting with our inner wisdom and feminine energy - not by rejecting ambition, but by integrating both feminine and masculine energy.</li><li>The importance of tuning into the body, intuition, and curiosity as it guides us back to alignment.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><u>Key Quotes</u></strong></p><p>“I’m a forever seeker and a forever student.”</p><p>“Success without soul eventually feels like betrayal.”</p><p>“The first point isn’t awakening. It’s the discomfort - the restlessness, the agitation, the resentment. Then we get the crack, and then we start to see the light.”</p><p>“The first step is to ask yourself an honest question: ‘Is this what I want for my life?’ And then listen - really listen - to the answer in your body.”</p><p>“This is a heroine’s journey. It’s not for the faint-hearted. I think we do a disservice to women when we present the Instagram version of awakening. For most women, it doesn’t look like that”.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><u>Spiritual practice: </u></strong>meditation, pranayama, reflection, mantras, japa practice and kriya breathwork.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><u>Books and references:</u></strong></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com.au/She-Who-Remembers-Awakening-feminine/dp/1764247612/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">She Who Remembers</a> by Megan Dalla Camina</p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com.au/Death-Must-Die-Diaries-Atmananda/dp/8186569324\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Death Must Die: Based on the Diaries of Atmananda</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.amazon.com.au/Return-Love-Reflections-Principles-Miracles/dp/0722532997/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>A Return to Love </em></a>by Marianne Williamson</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><u>More Information</u></strong></p><p>Instagram: @megandallacaminWebsite: <a href=\"https://megandallacamina.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://megandallacamina.com/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>You can get involved with My Spiritual Side online</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Youtube: <a href=\"https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCB_Yt6I-5Zbx7OhKIr5g8ng\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCB_Yt6I-5Zbx7OhKIr5g8ng</a></p><p>IG: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thespiritualbookclubofficial/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/thespiritualbookclubofficial/?hl=en</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091456576794\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091456576794</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The Spiritual Book Club</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Find out more about The Spiritual Book Club here: <a href=\"https://www.thespiritualbookclub.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.thespiritualbookclub.com/</a></p>","author_name":"Jacinta Tynan"}
