This Isn't Working

Last week, we talked about cutting away the parts of yourself that perform and please to get approval. But what about the deeper layer—the self-judgment that keeps you hiding parts of yourself because you’ve decided they’re too ugly, too bad, too weird, too gross to be seen?In this deeply vulnerable episode, Meg shares her journey from childhood body shame to secret binging, and the moment her partner said “No shit!” when he finally learned what she’d been hiding for years. This isn’t about becoming perfect—it’s about cutting away the belief that certain parts of your humanity are unacceptable and too shameful to be loved.This episode explores the difference between cutting away the masks we wear for others and cutting away the shame that keeps us hiding from ourselves—and how real intimacy becomes possible when you become willing to be seen as exactly who you are. What You’ll Learn:💥The difference between performing for others vs. hiding from yourself💥 Why shame doesn’t protect you from rejection—it guarantees you’ll never be fully accepted💥How self-judgment keeps you in a prison of your own making💥The difference between courage (cutting away performance) and compassion (cutting away self-judgment)💥What changes in relationships when you stop managing others’ perception of you💥How to move from hiding your struggles to being witnessed in them💥The difference between courage and compassion in relationships💥How relationships transform when you stop managing perceptionsReady to stop carrying the exhaustion of managing everyone’s perception of you—including your own? Click here to book a coffee chat and explore what’s possible when you let yourself be fully seen.If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear that all parts of them are worthy of love—even the parts they’ve been hiding.

We always hear about adding to our relationships — better communication, more connection, new tools. But what if the relationship you want isn’t about adding… what if it’s about cutting away?In this episode, I’m sharing the personal patterns I had to cut away in order to have the relationship I say I want: one built on transparency, honesty, and vulnerability.I’ll also share what the difference really is between honesty and transparency, and why cutting away can be so difficult and actually feel like a loss — but is where real trust is built.If this resonates, I've got a group beginning in September.

Today we dive into a subtle but powerful dynamic that shapes so many of our choices: living according to other people’s needs, expectations, or comfort—often at the expense of our own desires.

When we’re young, we believe everything is possible. We dream big, imagine superpowers, and trust that we can have love, wealth, purpose, and joy.... EVERYTHING, all at once. But somewhere along the way, we’re taught to settle. To be grateful for “enough.”In this episode, we'll explore the unconscious beliefs we adopt that tell us it’s wrong to want more—more money, more love, more freedom. These beliefs quietly shape our lives, creating internal conflict and keeping us from going after what we truly desire.You’ll learn:Why your brain might actually resist the very things you say you wantHow early messages like “Don’t be greedy” are still driving your choicesWhat it takes to shift into conscious desire without shame or fearA personal story about naming my upcoming event Have It All—and the resistance that came with itThis episode is for anyone who’s tired of settling for “fine,” and ready to reclaim what they truly want.Want to go deeper?Join Meg live at "Have It All," the transformational experience where we unpack the unseen beliefs that block our deepest desires—from our relationships to our bank accounts.

How many times have you gotten upset with your partner—not because of what they actually said or did, but because of what you assumed they meant?Assumptions are at the root of so many relationship struggles. We assume we know what our partner meant, so we get defensive. We assume we know their intentions, so we judge them. We assume we know how they feel, so we react—without ever checking if any of it is actually true.In this episode, I share a personal story about how a simple change in plans led to an unnecessary misunderstanding—all because of assumptions. I also break down: • Why our brains are wired to assume (and how it works against us) • How assumptions trigger us and make real communication impossible • The simple shift that stops assumptions in their tracks • What to say instead of assuming, so you can actually understand each otherIf you’ve ever found yourself reacting before you even know the full story, this episode is for you. 🔗 Resources & Links: • Connect with me on Facebook Insta TikTok • Want more relationship insights?
