Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:15:00 -0500

"What if the thing frustrating you right now is actually the opportunity you've been asking for?" -- Meg

In this episode:

Discover why asking for more often leads to discomfort instead of immediate results
Learn how to recognize opportunities for growth when they show up disguised as setbacks, delays, and difficult decisions
Understand why the same patterns keep repeating in your life—and the one question that can help you finally break the cycle
Learn how to stop settling for old versions of yourself and make choices that align with the life you're trying to create

This episode is Part 2 of last week's conversation about getting laid off from SoulCycle, but don't worry if you missed it—you can jump right in here. After sharing my story, I found myself asking a question that kept coming up: Did I accidentally manifest getting laid off? I had been asking for more freedom, more time, more impact, and more opportunities to create... so was this unexpected ending somehow connected to the things I'd been calling in?

Then a friend asked me something that sent me down an entirely different rabbit hole: "Are we supposed to be careful what we ask for?" This was so interesting to me, I just had to share this with you! In this episode, we're exploring why life sometimes feels like it's giving us the exact opposite of what we want, why we may be tested before our manifestations take place, and why the thing frustrating you right now might actually be the opportunity you've been asking for all along.

EP242: I Got Laid Off From SoulCycle (What I'm Learning About Big Feelings, Surrender, & Acceptance)

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Life knows what to do better than we do. Our job is to simply let go and receive each moment with an open heart and then dance skillfully with it." -- Meg

In this episode:

Learn how to process disappointment without getting stuck in bitterness, blame, or resentment
Discover how the Drama Triangle keeps us trapped as the victim, villain, or hero in our own story
Understand the difference between resisting what happened and surrendering to what is
Learn how to find possibility, gratitude, and freedom when life doesn't go according to plan

Recently, I was laid off from SoulCycle after seven years with the company. While this episode shares that story, this conversation isn't really about losing a job. It's for anyone who has recently been blindsided by life—whether that's a layoff, breakup, friendship ending, unexpected change, or simply finding yourself in a chapter you never planned for. If you've been asking yourself, "What is happening right now?" this episode is for you.

Together, we'll talk about what to do when life hands you something you didn't choose. I'll share the emotions that came up for me, the lessons I learned about acceptance and surrender, and why staying stuck in blame keeps us disconnected from our power. Most importantly, we'll explore how to stop feeding fear, resentment, and self-pity—and start creating space for possibility, growth, and whatever comes next. This is Part 1 of a special two-part series.

EP241: The Science of Reinventing Yourself

Thu, 28 May 2026 03:00:00 -0500

“Confidence is not what creates courage. Courage is what creates confidence.” -- Meg

In this episode:

Why your brain fights change even when you WANT it
The real reason confidence comes AFTER courage
How identity is built through tiny repeated actions
The neuroscience behind reinventing yourself and becoming someone new

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

Reinvention isn’t about becoming a completely different person overnight. It’s about understanding how your brain, nervous system, and identity work together — and learning how to slowly build evidence for a new version of yourself. In this episode, I break down why change feels uncomfortable, why your brain clings to familiarity, and why discomfort does not automatically mean you’re failing.

We also talk about the biggest misconception people have about confidence. Most people think confident people are naturally fearless, but the truth is confidence is built AFTER courageous action. If you’ve been waiting to feel ready before changing your life, this episode will completely shift the way you think about growth, fear, identity, and becoming the person you know you’re capable of being.

EP240: Want to Change Your Life? Start Here. (Literally, the Smallest Thing You Can Do Right Now.)

Fri, 22 May 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Your brain is not always choosing what's best for you, and it's oftentimes just choosing what's most familiar." -- Meg

In this episode:

Why your brain is wired for autopilot and how unconscious patterns form
The simple neuroscience behind why change feels uncomfortable
How even healing and self-growth routines can become unconscious
3 tiny ways to wake yourself up and become more present in your life

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

In this episode, we’re talking about the sneaky ways autopilot shows up in our lives — and why so many of us struggle to create change even when we desperately want to. I break down what “consciousness” actually means in simple terms, why the brain loves repetition, and how unconscious patterns quietly shape our emotions, habits, relationships, and identity. We also talk about why autopilot isn’t just scrolling on the couch or hating your life — you can even go on autopilot inside your healing and growth journey.

I also share the surprising realization I had after moving to New York City and why changing my environment suddenly unlocked massive creativity and momentum in my book writing. This episode is your reminder that transformation doesn’t always begin with giant life changes — sometimes it begins with simply becoming aware.

EP239: Rewire Your Brain: The Science Behind How Affirmations Actually Change Your Life

Tue, 12 May 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Your brain doesn’t care what’s true—it believes what you repeat." -- Meg

In this episode:

Why your brain prioritizes repetition over truth (and how that shapes your identity)
The neuroscience behind affirmations and how they rewire your thinking
Why affirmations feel fake at first—and how to make them feel authentic
How to use affirmations daily to build confidence and shift your internal voice

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

I’ve been consistently practicing affirmations every morning, and while I didn’t fully believe them at first, I started noticing something subtle but powerful—my internal dialogue began to change. The way I spoke to myself softened. The automatic negative thoughts weren’t as loud or as constant. And it made me realize that affirmations aren’t about forcing yourself to believe something overnight—they’re about giving your brain a new pattern to follow.

In this episode, I break down both the science and the manifestation side of affirmations so you can understand why they actually work. We talk about how your brain forms beliefs through repetition, how your thoughts shape your perception and behavior, and why feeling resistance at the beginning is completely normal. I also share how to use affirmations in a way that feels aligned and realistic—so you’re not trying to convince yourself of something that feels out of reach, but instead gradually building a new, supportive inner voice.

If you’ve ever felt like affirmations don’t work or that they’re not for you, this episode will shift that perspective and show you how to use them in a way that actually creates change.

EP238: How to Stop Shrinking and Start Taking Up Space in Your Life

Tue, 05 May 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"You’re not too much—you’ve just been trained to believe your presence requires permission." -- Meg

In this episode:

Why you feel like you’re taking up too much space (even when you’re not)
The hidden conditioning that taught you to shrink, over-apologize, and stay “easy”
The difference between assuming you belong vs. waiting for permission
How to stop pre-editing yourself and start showing up without guilt

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

I had a moment recently on a plane that stopped me in my tracks—I caught myself wanting to apologize to the man next to me… for simply existing in the space I paid for. And it made me realize: this isn’t about the plane. This is a pattern. So many of us move through the world assuming we’re an inconvenience, adjusting ourselves in real time to make other people more comfortable.

In this episode, I break down where that comes from, why it’s so common (especially for empathetic, self-aware people), and what I’ve learned about the difference between people who take up space and people who shrink. We talk about the subtle ways we ask for permission to exist—and how to shift into someone who assumes they belong, without becoming someone you’re not.

If you’ve ever felt like you needed to be smaller to be accepted, this episode will help you see it—and start to change it.

EP237: 10 Ridiculous Things I Do Every Day to Manifest Faster

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Manifesting is not about getting lucky. It's about somebody who naturally creates better outcomes." -- Meg

In this episode:

Why manifesting has nothing to do with thinking something into existence — and what it actually requires
The real reason your manifestations feel stuck (hint: it's not your mindset)
10 surprisingly simple daily practices that shift your brain, body, and behavior all at once
How to start small so this actually becomes something you do, not just something you know

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

On today's episode, I'm giving you all of my secrets — the 10 things I do every single day that sound completely ridiculous and work completely anyway. I'm breaking down what manifesting actually is, why most people have it wrong, and how these small daily practices create real shifts in how you think, how you feel, and ultimately what you attract into your life. Some of these I've been doing for years, some are brand new, and honestly all of them are a little silly — which is exactly why they work.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things and still feel stuck, this episode is going to change how you look at that. We're going to the brain, the body, and the behavior — because when all three shift together, that's when your life actually starts to move.

EP236: The Truth About Loneliness Nobody Is Talking About

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Loneliness isn’t a life sentence—it’s a signal for deeper connection." -- Meg

In this episode:

Why you can feel completely alone even when your life looks full — and what it actually means
The 3 types of loneliness and why identifying yours is the key to getting out of it
The sneaky way your body and mind work against you when it comes to connection
The small, specific steps that actually move you out of loneliness (no life overhaul required)

On today's episode, I'm getting really honest about something I personally went through at the beginning of this year — something I sat in for two months before I finally understood what it was trying to tell me. We're talking about loneliness. Not in a surface-level way, but in a way that will completely change how you see it, because I truly believe this is one of the most universal human experiences that nobody is actually talking about.

I'm walking you through what loneliness really is (it's probably not what you think), the three distinct types you might be experiencing right now, and why you have to address one of them before the other two can even budge. If you've ever felt disconnected even when everything on paper looks fine, this episode is for you — and I want you to know, you are not alone in this, not even close.

EP235: How to Stop Self-Doubt and Build Real Confidence | Neil Rubenstein

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 03:00:00 -0500

“You could want something a 10 out of 10, but if you only believe you deserve it a 5 out of 10, that’s where you’re going to land.” -- Neil

In this episode:

Understand what self-limiting beliefs actually are—and how they quietly shape your outcomes
Learn how negative self-talk impacts your confidence, relationships, and ability to go after what you want
Learn how to use the #1 tool to reframe your negative thoughts
Explore why vulnerability is not weakness—and how it becomes your greatest strength in relationships and growth

In today’s episode, I sat down with Create Your Fate Coach, Neil, for a real, honest conversation about the internal patterns that hold so many people back—self-limiting beliefs and negative self-talk. We broke down what these thoughts actually sound like in real life, how they show up without you even realizing it, and why they don’t just affect how you feel… they directly impact what you create in your life.

We also talked about what it actually looks like to shift those thoughts—not in a fluffy, “just think positive” way, but in a practical, grounded way that you can apply immediately. From redefining what you want, to building confidence through small steps, to understanding why vulnerability is the key to deeper connection and alignment—this episode is a powerful reminder that the work starts within. And when you change the way you speak to yourself, you change everything that follows.

EP234: Why You Feel Guilty Resting (Even When You’re Exhausted)

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Rest is not a reward. It's a requirement." -- Meg

In this episode:

Understand the subconscious beliefs that make rest feel wrong—even when you need it most
Learn how productivity can become a survival pattern, not just a personality trait
Recognize why your body resists slowing down (and why that doesn’t mean something is wrong)
Reframe rest from something you earn into something you operate from

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

In today's episode, I’m breaking down something I see all the time—with my clients and in my own life—the guilt that shows up when we try to rest. I share a recent moment where I slept in and immediately felt like I had done something wrong, even though nothing actually was. From there, we unpack why rest can feel so uncomfortable, especially if you’re someone who is driven, ambitious, or used to always being “on.” This isn’t just about habits—it’s about the subconscious beliefs running underneath them.

We also get into how productivity can quietly become a survival mode pattern, where being busy isn’t just something you do, it’s something your system relies on to feel safe. I explain what’s happening in your body when you slow down, why it can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable, and how to start shifting your relationship with rest so it no longer feels like something you have to earn. This episode will help you understand yourself on a deeper level—and start creating a new normal where rest actually feels safe.

EP233: The Cost of Carrying Everything: Control, Men & Vulnerability | Jace Williams

"If you’re thinking about the next step, you’re ready." -- Life Coach Jace

In this episode:

Unpack the hidden link between control and vulnerability—and why letting go can feel terrifying (even when it’s healthy)
Reframe “I don’t know” as strength, not failure—and use it to instantly de-pressurize your day
Recognize how perfectionism and hustle culture reinforce the “captain serious” identity (and how to soften it without losing drive)
Understand why coaching works: not because your coach has “the answer,” but because you finally say the truth out loud—and hear yourself

In today's episode, I sat down with Create Your Fate Coach, Jace, for a real conversation about growth, leadership, and the internal pressure so many men carry. We talked about control, responsibility, and the unspoken expectation to always have it together—at work, in relationships, and in life. This episode explores how those patterns form and what shifts when you start questioning whether carrying everything alone is actually helping. Ladies -- you are going to want to send this episode to any important man in your life!

We also talk about vulnerability in a practical, grounded way. Not as an emotional performance, but as honesty, self-awareness, and the willingness to pause instead of pushing. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in “doing” mode, wants more clarity, and is ready to approach growth with less pressure and more intention.

EP232: PS. You're Allowed to Do Things Just for Fun (The Power of Joy Explained)

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 03:00:00 -0500

“If experience is the goal, then everything is considered a win.” -- Meg

In this episode:

Why joy is a performance advantage (not a weakness)
How elevated emotions shift your energy and attract different results
What gets in the way of joy — and how to practically return to it
Why doing something “just for fun” might be the most powerful move you make

What if joy isn’t something you earn after you accomplish the thing… what if joy is the thing that unlocks it? In this episode, I’m breaking down the powerful lesson behind Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu’s historic win and why the real secret to her success wasn’t pressure, perfection, or proving — it was joy. After walking away from figure skating due to burnout, she returned with a radically different intention: skate for fun. And that shift changed everything.

I’m diving into the energetics of joy, the nervous system science behind performance, the Law of Attraction, and what some of my favorite spiritual guides teach about elevated emotions and alignment. We forget that we’re allowed to do things just because they feel good — not because they lead to a goal. This episode is your permission slip to reclaim joy as a strategy, as a frequency, and as a way of life.

EP231: Stop Trying to Fix Yourself: The Real Power of Sound Healing | Beto Gonzales

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"The universe gives you what you are, not what you want.” — Beto Gonzales

In this episode:

What sound healing really is—and how vibration supports nervous system regulation
Why trying to “fix” yourself can actually block transformation
The power of beginner’s mind and dropping expectations
How trust and surrender allow your life (and healing) to unfold organically

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

In today's episode, I sit down with my friend Beto—sound healer, yoga teacher, and someone who deeply embodies what he teaches—to explore a radically different approach to healing. We talk about what sound healing actually is, how vibration works on the body and nervous system, and why so many of us unknowingly block our own growth by trying so hard to optimize, fix, and perfect ourselves. This conversation moves beyond the surface-level “wellness trends” and into something much deeper: trust, surrender, and allowing life to unfold without gripping so tightly to outcomes.

If you’ve been doing all the work—therapy, coaching, yoga, breathwork—and still feel like you’re chasing healing instead of receiving it, this episode will land. We dive into the concept of beginner’s mind, how expectations can disconnect you from the experience you came for, and why darkness isn’t something to escape but something that can reveal your own inner light. This isn’t about becoming better. It’s about coming home to who you already are.

EP230: Why Your Circle Gets Smaller as You Grow

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"If you are doing the work that 99% of people spend their life avoiding, why are you surprised when less than 1% of people understand you?" -- Meg

In this episode:

Why growth can create distance—and how old patterns try to pull you back when you change
Why outgrowing friendships, routines, and hobbies can feel unsettling—even when nothing is “wrong”
The grief and loneliness that often accompany evolution—and why they’re part of the process
How to reframe loneliness as availability, alignment, and a sign you’re moving in the right direction

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

If you’ve been doing the work—changing habits, shifting patterns, releasing old energy—and suddenly notice your circle getting smaller, this episode is for you. Growth has a way of quietly changing the people, routines, and conversations around you, even when nothing is “wrong.” What once felt like home can start to feel limiting, and that shift can be confusing—especially when you expected growth to feel exciting, not lonely.

In this episode, I unpack why outgrowing friendships, hobbies, and familiar environments is a natural part of personal growth, and why the loneliness that follows doesn’t mean you’ve failed. We’ll talk about the in-between phase where your nervous system is recalibrating, your environment hasn’t caught up yet, and you’re standing with open hands instead of empty ones. If your circle feels smaller right now, this is your reminder that this season is temporary—and often a sign you’re evolving in the right direction.

EP229: Overcoming Self-Doubt: How to Trust Yourself and Choose Your Path | Gustavo Handam

Reframe chaos as part of the becoming process

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Gustavo Handam—movement coach, wellness leader, and the newest member of the Create Your Fate Retreats team—for a conversation about resilience, self-trust, and what it looks like to keep choosing yourself when the path keeps shifting.

Gustavo shares his journey from moving to the U.S. from Venezuela in 2017, to navigating rejection and rebuilding his life from scratch, to betting on himself in a new country with a new career. We talk about the “hurricanes” we all face—external chaos and internal self-doubt—and how he learned to stay grounded in the center of it.

This is a real, heartfelt conversation about starting over, rewriting beliefs, and stepping into authenticity—especially when it costs you comfort.

EP228: 2026 Planning for the Lunar New Year: Direction Over Pressure

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Direction is more important than speed." -- Meg

In this episode:

How to plan your 2026 year with soft energy—and stop forcing clarity when your nervous system is asking for space.
The difference between goals vs intentions, and how intentions create alignment without the pressure spiral.
How to identify what drains you vs expands you—and choose what feels ready to shift without overwhelming yourself.
How to turn a big dream into one tiny doable step, a simple non-negotiable, and a word that becomes your North Star.

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

Today is our 2026 planning episode—and I designed it intentionally around the Lunar New Year, because this time of year is actually the perfect window to reset your direction without the pressure spiral. The lunar calendar is about cycles, rhythm, and intention—not rushing. So if January felt weird, slow, scattered, or like “new year, same energy”…you’re not behind. You’re just still in the transition. I’m sharing how my own year started off completely different than I expected, and how I stopped trying to force goals out of sheer pressure. Instead, I used this exact practice to create conditions for clarity—and I want you to do the same before we move into the next lunar cycle.

This episode is not a vision-and-goals workshop. It’s a soft, interactive planning practice that helps you choose your direction as we approach the Lunar New Year—so you’re not entering the year with hustle energy, unrealistic expectations, or a nervous system that’s already bracing. We’ll focus on how you want to feel as you build your life, because your subconscious responds to emotion—not logic—and that feeling becomes your compass. You will leave this episode with a North Star and a sense of calm direction heading into the Lunar New Year!

Why “doing the most” in January is usually the reason you burn out—and what actually creates momentum
The real truth about GLP-1s: how to use them wisely without sacrificing muscle, hormones, or long-term results

We're kicking off 2026 with a conversation that makes you feel aligned, educated, and not overwhelmed about your health goals. Today’s guest is Andres Assef, a human performance + optimization strategist and the owner of MPWR Wellness—and you will be absolutely blown away with this conversation.

If you’ve tried to lose weight before and nothing sticks… if you’re exhausted by trendy diets… if you want 2026 to be the year something actually shifts in your body—this episode is for you. And if you’re looking for a quick, “bippity-bop-boo” fix… you already know this isn’t that.

We go deep into what actually moves the needle (and what quietly sabotages progress), including the truth about GLP-1s, muscle loss, stress + cortisol, and why doing the most is often the fastest way to burn out and quit. We also talk about the mindset piece: the all-or-nothing spiral, the guilt cycle, and why the most powerful question you can ask yourself this year is… “What happens if I don’t?”

EP226: These 3 Excuses Are Costing You the Life You Want

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 03:00:00 -0500

"Our time is our most non-renewable resource. If you’re constantly counting down the hours, the days, the weeks—it's not the time that’s the problem. It’s the place." -- Meg

In this episode:

Identify the subtle red flags that signal you may be settling—even when life looks fine on paper
Understand why certain excuses feel so convincing and how they quietly reinforce staying stuck
Recognize how “someday” thinking forms and what gently interrupts it
Take a grounded, doable step that opens momentum toward the life you actually want

Have you ever had that quiet thought creep in: “There has to be more than this…”—and then immediately talked yourself out of exploring it? In today’s episode, we’re getting honest about what’s actually keeping so many people stuck.

I walk through the three most common excuses I hear—especially from thoughtful, capable, self-aware people who want more from life but feel frozen where they are. These excuses often sound practical, responsible, and even selfless. But over time, they quietly stall growth and keep you looping in the same patterns.

I also share pieces of my own journey—from living a life that looked “right” on the outside to making aligned choices that changed everything. This episode will help you get honest about what you want, identify the beliefs holding you back, and give you the practical tools to finally move toward it. Because the cost of staying the same is far greater than the cost of going for it.

How to step into 2026 with more softness and self-trust by practicing gratitude, learning to receive, and releasing an old story you’re done carrying.

I made this 2025 Reflection episode for the high achievers, the goal-setters, the “what’s next?” people (hi, same) who are so good at raising the bar that we forget to honor how far we’ve come. This is an interactive, journal-in-hand practice where we slow down on purpose, reflect on what this year actually held, and let the pause give us more momentum—not less. Because there is so much power in a pause, and I want you walking into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and self-respect…not pressure.

I guide you through a series of reflection prompts that help you look back on 2025 with honesty, compassion, and clarity—acknowledging your growth, your challenges, your energy, and the parts of you that changed along the way. We soften into gratitude, explore your relationship with support and receiving, and end with a release ritual—choosing what you’re no longer carrying into 2026—so you can move forward from grounded truth instead of old survival patterns.

The holiday season brings joy… but let’s be honest, it also brings family dynamics, old emotional patterns, crowded social gatherings, and layers of expectation that can pull you right back into habits you thought you’d outgrown.

It’s the reminder you need as you navigate heightened emotions, tricky conversations, and the pressure to “keep the peace.”

What does it really look like to live boldly? To trust yourself enough to pivot at any age, abandon imagined fears, and follow the path your soul is whispering to you? Today, I’m joined by the incomparable Dominique Sachse — beloved content creator, podcast host, beauty guru, former news anchor, and true embodiment of tenacity, adaptability, and courage. In this powerful, heartfelt conversation, Dominique shares the story of her journey through massive life transitions, public scrutiny, reinvention, and learning how to trust in something bigger than fear.

The holidays can be one of the hardest times of year for body image. Between family gatherings, social pressure, photos, food, comparison, and the rush to start planning our 2026 goals, it’s easy to slip into insecurity or feel like you need to “fix” something before the new year. That’s exactly why I wanted to bring this episode back right now. Before you set any goals for 2026, I want you to slow down, breathe, and look at your body with appreciation—not urgency. Because your goals should come from loving yourself, not from hating parts of you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth behind negative body image—where it really comes from, why it sticks, and how to take your power back. I’ll walk you through guided questions, mindset shifts, and one of the most transformative exercises I’ve ever done: writing an honest “love letter” to my body. If you’re feeling triggered, insecure, frustrated, or just exhausted from thinking about your body during the holidays, this conversation will help you reset, realign, and move into the new year from a place of confidence, compassion, and clarity.

This conversation got deep. We talk joy, fear, worthiness, taking risks, and all the things that happen when you stop waiting for life to happen to you and start showing up for it. Whether you’re at your own “halfway point,” in a big transition, or just craving a reminder of how far you’ve come — this episode will reignite your self-belief and remind you why your story matters.

EP217: Essence vs. Ego: Are You Scanning the Right Barcode?

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 03:00:00 -0500

“Ego doesn’t always say, ‘I’m better than you.’ Ego also says, ‘I’m not enough unless I’m everything for you.’” — Meg

In this episode:

How to tell if you’re acting from protection (ego) or truth (essence)—using your body as the compass
The barcode metaphor: why authenticity is the only way the universe can deliver what’s meant for you
The sneaky ways ego hides behind “kindness” (people-pleasing, overgiving, overworking) and keeps you in fear
Each Enneagram type’s superego message—and a simple practice to cut off the “IF” and return to “I AM”

Get your free 7-day trial to the FateCreator life coaching app!

In today's episode, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood topics in personal growth: the difference between your essence and your ego. Most people hear “ego” and think of arrogance—but your ego can sound kind, humble, and helpful, while still being completely rooted in fear. It’s the version of you built to stay safe and accepted, but it often keeps you small and disconnected from who you really are.

I’ll show you how to spot the subtle ways ego shows up (even when it looks “good”), how to use your body to know if you’re acting from protection or truth, and how each Enneagram type’s superego message keeps you stuck in fear instead of flow. When you reconnect with your essence—your truth—you stop performing and start aligning with your most authentic self.

In this episode:

The sneaky mindset that slows your growth (and how to spot it fast)
Why “doing the work” doesn’t mean you’ll stop being human
How to recognize when your growth mindset turns into perfectionism
The shift from trying to “fix” yourself to simply being with yourself

You’ve been doing the work — reading the books, listening to the podcasts, journaling, meditating, manifesting — all of it. You’ve healed, you’ve grown, and you’ve become so much more self-aware than you were a year ago. But lately, you’re frustrated. Because no matter how much progress you make, those old patterns still pop up — and every time they do, you can’t help but wonder, “How am I still dealing with this?”

In today’s episode, I’m not showing you something new to do to outgrow or expand into the next level of your evolution — I’m showing you the one thing you might be doing that’s actually blocking your growth and expansion. The thing that keeps you stuck in the loop of “not enough yet,” even when you’ve already come so far. Because the truth is, real growth doesn’t come from adding more to your plate — it comes from releasing what’s quietly working against you.

Well… this isn’t your typical anniversary episode. Four years of Create Your Fate — and instead of a highlight reel, I’m sharing my biggest regrets. Not mistakes, but true regrets — the kind that used to rule me until I learned how to let them refine me instead. Because yes, everything really does work out for your highest good… but you can still wish you’d done a few things differently. In this episode, I’m opening up about the lessons behind those moments and how each one shaped the woman — and coach — I am today.

Regret doesn’t have to keep you stuck in “what if.” When you stop searching for a redo and start searching for the lesson, you get your power back. These moments taught me more than any win ever could, and I hope they help you see your own regrets through a softer, wiser lens.

"A lot of us have a negative perception of envy. We were taught that wanting something that somebody else has is bad. And when you feel bad about this, guilt and then shame typically follow." -- Meg

In this episode:

The key difference between jealousy and envy — and why that matters for your growth

Choosing yourself sounds empowering, but the truth is, it’s not always the easy choice. It can mean breaking patterns, confronting fears, and risking the loss of comfort or approval from others. In this conversation, we dive into why people hold back from making that leap, the excuses (and very real reasons) we all face, and what changes when you start saying yes to you. Whether it’s a six-day adventure across the globe or a simple daily boundary, we’re exploring how to make the choice that will change your life—and why it’s always worth it in the end.

It was the darkest, most unraveling moment I’ve ever known. And it changed me. But not just in the way grief does. It broke me down… and eventually became the catalyst that built me back up.

You’ll hear the raw story of what happened, how I coped (and didn’t cope), and why I now understand that what happened to me also happened for me. It took nearly a decade before I started truly healing, but that’s when the transformation began. And that’s why I’m here now, as a conscious life coach, sharing this with you—so you know you’re not alone in your pain… and that you can expect good things, even after unimaginable loss.

It’s something we all need, especially when life gets rainy. Whether you're 5 or 55, your emotions are real—and so is your power to shift them. I’ll walk you through how to change the meaning of a moment (not the moment itself), and in doing so, change your vibration and your results.

So in this final episode of our three-part manifestation mini-series, we’re talking about what it really means to receive—energetically, emotionally, materially—and how to break the blocks that are silently keeping your desires at bay.

In this episode, I share personal stories, journal prompts, and actionable mindset shifts to help you stop overworking and start aligning.

Whether you’ve never used the word “easily” in your affirmations or you’re addicted to grind mode, I’ll walk you through how to reprogram your beliefs around worthiness, effort, and trust—so your desires can finally show up with more flow and less force.

In today's episode, I’m sharing the unexpected life lesson I learned from a $700 Sam’s Club dining table—and how it helped me realize where I was still settling for “fine” instead of going all-in on what I really want. As I prepare for a big move from Houston to Los Angeles, I’m reflecting on what it means to let go of old energy, old stories, and even old furniture that no longer matches the life I’m stepping into.

This episode is for anyone who’s in transition—who feels called to more but keeps holding onto what’s “good enough.” I’m diving deep into the ways fear hides behind gratitude, how we shrink our dreams without even realizing it, and what it actually takes to ask for more. Because the truth is, the universe isn’t on a budget… but you might be. And it’s time to change that.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into why we push ourselves so hard, where these impossible expectations come from, and—most importantly—how to finally give yourself permission to take a break without guilt. We’ll explore how perfectionism and comparison culture fuel our inner critic and why success does not have to come from self-punishment.

And if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I lazy, or am I just burnt out?”—this episode is for you. (Spoiler: Lazy people don’t ask that question!)

I’m sharing insights from my own journey, plus a game-changing question that will help you shift your mindset: What would happen if I were easier on myself?

That shift changed everything.

I’ll break down how your ego tricks you into staying small with logical-sounding excuses and share my own struggles with self-doubt (hello, imposter syndrome!). But here’s the truth: nobody starts at ready or perfect. You just have to start. So let’s ditch the fear and step into your power—because why not you?

EP187: Stop Asking “Is It Hard?” Start Asking This Instead

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 03:00:00 -0500

"Most of the time, when you say 'it's not worth it,' what you really mean is I'M not worth it. " -- Meg

In this episode:

Your decisions should be based on worth and alignment with your future self, not fear, difficulty, or cost.
What you focus on expands—shifting your focus from obstacles to value changes your entire experience.
Self-worth directly impacts decision-making; when you say “It’s not worth it,” you may actually mean “I’m not worth it.”
The cost of staying the same is often far greater than the cost of change—ask yourself, Will I look back and be grateful I did this?

When you start focusing on worth rather than obstacles, you align with your future self and create the life you truly want.

EP156: How to Figure Out Who You Truly Are | Drew Ross

What a gift I have for you today. Truth be told, I was on a zoom call with my fellow life coach and podcast host, Drew Ross, and we started having the most amazing conversation that we HAD to record it for you and make it into a podcast.

Drew is currently navigating his Saturn Return (here's an article on it if you'd like to read more about it.) and it was so relatable, we had to share this with you. During a Saturn Return, people often find themselves in a phase of deep introspection and self-discovery, and it's a time where they ask themselves, "Who am I? Who do I want to be?" It commonly happens in your late 20's and late 50's and it's time when you assess where you may have strayed from who you are authentically, and navigate how to get back to who you truly are.

If you are someone in a phase of trying to figure out who are you and where to go in life, this episode is for you -- even if you aren't going through your own Saturn Return.

EP115: Stop Putting on a Happy Face

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 08:58:00 -0500

PSA: Not confronting negative emotions actually HURTS your manifestations! Just because you're not thinking about them does NOT make you a "more positive person." It means you cannot process the negative emotions, which actually makes you hold onto them LONGER! Yikes.

Today, I share a personal (and wild!) story of repressing negative emotions for 9 years that led to an unstoppable (yet inevitable) purge of emotions. We'll bring awareness to why you might be holding onto some "emotional baggage" and learn how to "unpack"...in a healthy way!

Tune into today's episode of Create Your Fate, and begin releasing negative emotions today.

"And what happens is -- that instability of unprocessed emotions creates a really rocky foundation for everything else." -- Meg Ellis

In This Episode:

-My personal story of stuffing negative feelings and the release after 9 years

-Why releasing negative emotions is hard...and the turmoil keeping them in can cause

-The benefit of releasing negative emotions

-Great for all Enneagram types!

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 03:30:00 -0500

What do you mean, boundaries are meant to keep people in, not out? Oh wait – let me guess – when you hear the word boundaries, you cringe a little inside, and automatically think you’re going to have a difficult conversation that’s just going to end up with you feeling guilty so you might as well not say anything anyway?

Today, we talk BOUNDARIES – why they’re scary – and i bet you’ll be surprised, how to improve your thoughts around them and set healthy boundaries, and find out how they’re really meant to keep people in…and not out! If you’re ready to discover a way to give less of yourself away….and not feel guilty about it…check out today’s episode of Create Your Fate.

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 03:00:00 -0500

So, you said yes…when you really wanted to say no…and now you’ve committed to something you don’t want to do – or worse, are physically unable to do – and now you’re stuck, overcommitted to too many things, filled with dread on how to get out of it, fear the confrontation so you put it off…and then plan to just last minute cancel on one of the commitments because the longer you wait to cancel the less time you’ll feel guilty, right?

If you’re someone who struggles with saying NO, or feels guilty every time you say no, LISTEN UP

Today, we’re going to untrain your mind from wanting to people-please and say YES. You’ll learn why it’s hard to say no and get to the root so – then learn how to stop automatically saying yes, how to stop saying yes when you want to say no, AND, the best part – not feel guilty when you say no. Let’s dive in!

EP93: 6 Signs You're A Control Freak | Lacey Mitchell

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 03:00:00 -0500

Are you a control freak? Here are 6 sure signs that you just might be!

What does it say about you and what can you do to relinquish some of that control? In this 3 part series, Lacey and I take a deep dive into why control is actually harming you and how you can reframe your thoughts on control in many facets of your life.

Figuring out what you are best at, staying in your own “genius zone,” and allowing other people to thrive in theirs can enhance your work, relationships, and overall well-being.

Efficiency doesn’t always come from within. Sometimes you can learn a better way of doing something just by relinquishing your need to control and allowing someone else to shine. Your past experiences can really impact the need for control through compliments or fear.

EP89: Food & Diet Industries Are Scamming You | Alanna Dybus

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0500

Alanna is back to wrap up the Body Image Trilogy on Create Your Fate with me, Meg Ellis. We chat about BMI (Body Mass Index) and question how we've been fed an 'ideal body type' by the patriarchy. We also joke about what we were fed as kids growing up in the 90s (enough with the ham loaf!), and we look at the outdated food pyramid to see how our idea of healthy food has changed over the years.

We are also here to say that it's okay to get filler or botox or have plastic surgery – who is anyone else to judge? We just want to have the conversation and remind all of you women out there that it's worth questioning some of the norms that have been perpetuated by mainstream media, as well as the things that are normalized nowadays on social media.

Emotional maturity starts with realizing that nothing outside of yourself is going to solve your problems. The people we should be looking up to are those that have learned to love themselves and take care of themselves. We can all work towards doing that more, and it's so worth taking those small, brave steps. I hope you have as much fun listening in on my and Alanna's conversation; I know we had a great laugh, and so I hope you learn a thing or two too!

Please check out Part One and then Part Two of this trilogy on body image. I promise that you’ll get a lot out of those episodes too!

"If someone tried to tell me that croissants are healthy, I'm not gonna fight 'em." ~ Meg Ellis

In This Episode:

– How BMI was created to find the average size of men in the 1800s

– Climbing the Food Pyramid - and tearing it down

– The 'joys' of growing up eating bad food

– The side effects of 'quick and easy' diet pills - do your research!

– Why do we ‘crash diet’ and get plastic surgery?

– Having emotional maturity when it comes to making a big decision about your body

– Understanding the law of attraction

– Checking in with yourself regularly: how does this make me feel?

– Learning to love yourself every step of the way

Where do we draw the line between getting plastic surgery and being happy with who we are? How do we reserve judgment around body image issues and remember to consider the other person’s well-being before putting our foot in it?

From advice on asking a woman if she is pregnant, to unpacking the mental health aspect of plastic surgery, Alanna and I go all in on the topic of body image, hopefully, so that we can help destigmatize the topic and make things easier for everyone else out there to have these important conversations with grace and clarity. You are not alone!

Please check out Part One and then Part 3 of this trilogy on body image. I promise that you’ll get a lot out of these episodes!

You don’t ask somebody if they’re pregnant!” ~ Alanna Dybus

In This Episode:

– Do NOT ask somebody if they are pregnant!

– The fine line between plastic surgery and being happy with yourself

– Alanna’s story about getting plastic surgery

– Unpacking the mental health aspect of getting plastic surgery

– Asking yourself the question, “Why am I doing this?”

EP87: Ditch The Scale: Try Self-Love Instead | Alanna Dybus

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 15:51:00 -0500

I’ve got my good friend Alanna Dybus in the house, coming in HOT from DC. And today we’re talking about body image… time traveling back to the nineties and reflecting on how the only models in magazines were skinny when we were growing up. What would Kim K have done back then?!?

If you’re keen to understand body dysmorphia in a relatable way, then please join Alanna and I as we share personal experiences about body image, weight loss, and weight gain. And, through conversation, learn to love and accept ourselves for just who we are that little bit more.

The challenging societal stigma around body shape and image starts with these kinds of conversations. So please listen in all you beautiful women of all shapes and sizes. This one’s for you!

“I think I directly associate my happiness and satisfaction with myself with my weight — and yeah, that’s how I feel.” ~ Alanna Dybus

In This Episode:

– Understanding body dysmorphia

– Being happy with how you look, rather than just hitting a number

– Back in the 90s when all models were super skinny

– Where is the ‘average’ model modeling clothes?!?

– One day big butts will be back in style!

– Should your trainer be in good shape to coach you?

EP86: Bad At Dating? Try This! | Bruce and Rodney

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0500

What dating advice could two gay men have for a straight girl? It turns out, quite a lot. I’m having a blast in the studio today with my two dear friends, Bruce and Rodney. Please check out the previous episode to hear about all their fantastic RV adventures if you haven’t done so already. Otherwise, please join me for a casual chat about dating advice in the ’20s.

How do I put myself out there as a woman? Why won’t men talk to me when I’m out? These are some of the questions Bruce and Rodney answer with their deft, sensitive touch — providing a unique take on the issues we women face as we seek to play the dating game. A lot of this has to do with their previous work experience and acquired ‘salon psychology’ — when you are intimate with someone because you cut their hair, it’s more likely that the other person will open up to you, sharing personal details of their life.

I’m sure there are a lot of women out there that wish they could have Bruce and Rodney as their wingmen for a night out on the town. Well, now’s your chance. The advice that they’re dishing out is pure gold, and I’m sure that any woman listening will be emboldened to go out and put themselves out there in new and exciting ways to create your fate in the romance department. Please join us!

“Gay men don’t travel in groups. When they’re looking to meet people, they are not in a group.” ~ Rodney

In This Episode:

– Do you bow your eyes when men approach you?

– What are the cues that women give that man then take as a sign that you’re unavailable?

– Transferring gay dating techniques to the straight-girl world

– What drink should you order from the bartender to let him know someone is bothering you?

– Do not let first dates know where you live!

– If you don’t have a spark, there’s not going to be any fire

– Is it true that men are shorter in Manhattan?

– Evaluating the Dating Apps

– How do you put yourself out there as a woman wanting to date?

– Be interested, not interesting

– Being your best self – and then dressing the part

– What is the line between being prepared and desperate?

– How to prepare yourself for rejection

– Attracting the right people when you are confident in yourself

EP85: How To Live With No Regrets | Bruce and Rodney

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0500

What does it mean to be a professional rainbow chaser? To give up the city life and live on the road in an RV, getting stranded in the Mojave Desert and seeing rainbows for days on end in Wyoming?

This is the life that two dear friends of mine, Bruce Franklin and Rodney Cubberly, have chosen for themselves. They have been traveling across the country after giving up their corporate life of 30+ years. Now they are two gay men visiting straight RV parks in an RV once named Uncle Joe that has been rechristened as Josephine.

While this may sound like a camp scene from 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert', this is in fact an intentional pursuit of their dreams – a living example of creating your fate at its very finest. As Bruce and Rodney share so eloquently, their journey has renewed their faith in humanity, just at a time when more Americans are embracing the nomadic life.

As it turns out, you come across all walks of life while driving along life's highway, searching for that next rainbow. Please join me in this fun conversation with two fabulously adventurous men and learn what it takes to embrace RV living and a life less ordinary.

"You can definitely pulse the chapter changes in your life. And how things all culminate to support it. And if you don't take that juncture in the road, you may have regret in the future." ~ Bruce Franklin

In This Episode:

– What is a rainbow chaser, exactly?

– Unpacking RV Living for Gay Men

– The joys of owning a robot dog

– Spilling the tea on Chasing Rainbows, their new show

– What is their biggest lesson in pivoting from corporate life?

– From rainbows in Wyoming to being stranded in the Mojave Desert

– Advice for people considering the RV life for themselves

– What it means to have the courage to take that next leap

– Why Bruce and Gordon are the reason Meg is a SoulCycle instructor
