What happens when we avoid telling the truth — not just the big truths, but the small, daily ones about how we feel, what we want, and who we really are?

In this episode, we explore a hard truth: the more we pretend in our relationships, the more we erode trust, intimacy, and connection.

We talk about:

• Why pretending doesn’t create closeness — it creates distance

• The hidden cost of being “the agreeable one”

• How our silence contributes to misunderstandings and unmet needs

• What to ask yourself if you’re feeling resentment or disconnection

• A small but powerful first step toward telling the truth in your relationships

Whether it’s with your partner, your child, your parent, or your friend — this episode invites you to reflect honestly on where you might be hiding, and what might be possible if you stopped.

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. We say we want something, but we hesitate, delay, or quietly wait for someone else’s permission before moving forward.

Which begs the question:

Through personal stories, we'll explore how this pattern shows up in everyday life, how it affects intimacy and clarity in our relationships, and what we can do to start living more honestly and intentionally.

You’ll walk away with thought-provoking questions to ask yourself and a clearer sense of what’s really been driving your decisions—and whether it’s time to change course.

• How we subtly give our power away when making personal decisions

• Why waiting for permission can lead to disconnection and resentment

• The difference between compromise and self-abandonment

• A story from Meg’s own life that reveals the cost of not being clear

• Questions to help you re-align with your truth

• Whose comfort am I prioritizing?

• Is the thing I keep postponing really about timing—or am I afraid of someone else’s reaction?

• What is my behavior actually communicating?

• Is this the life I want—or the life I think I should want?

We all say we want change—better communication, more intimacy, a thriving business, a healthier body.

But if you’ve been circling the same patterns over and over again, it’s time to ask: are you committed, or just interested?

In this powerful episode, I break down the sneaky ways we stay stuck—not because we’re lazy, but because we’re still hedging. We’re waiting for the right moment, hoping for permission, outsourcing responsibility.

You’ll learn:

• The real difference between interest and commitment

• How the “victim mindset” hides in plain sight

• What commitment actually looks like in real life (no perfection required)

• How to reclaim your power, one small vote at a time

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 want

• How early messages like “Don’t be greedy” are still driving your choices

• What it takes to shift into conscious desire without shame or fear

• A personal story about naming my upcoming event Have It All—and the resistance that came with it

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of settling for “fine,” and ready to reclaim what they truly want.

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 other

If you’ve ever found yourself reacting before you even know the full story, this episode is for you.

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my own resistance, the doubts that crept in, and the moment I saw exactly how we all keep ourselves stuck without even realizing it.
