What happens when the identity you’ve built no longer fits?

For years, Meghan Opitz was unstoppable—competitive swimmer, tech startup leader, high-achiever through and through. She was always chasing the next goal. But when life threw unexpected challenges her way, she was forced to re-examine everything she thought she knew about success.

In this episode of Change Unfiltered, Meghan shares:

✔️ The real difference between ambition and drive—and why one is often misunderstood ✔️ How competitive swimming shaped her mindset—and the moment she realised she wouldn’t become an Olympian ✔️ What it was like to scale a tech company pre-IPO—and then face a completely different challenge: motherhood ✔️ Why she felt like she was failing as a mum—and the mindset shift that changed everything ✔️ What success looks like now—and why it’s no longer about chasing the next big milestone

Plus, she reveals the unexpected anthem that got her through one of the biggest moments of her life—now added to the Change Unfiltered Playlist on Spotify.
