Hey, I’m Megan.

I’m a coach, researcher, mother, and human who spent years trying to intellectualize my way to well-being.

I read all the books. I got a PhD, taught college courses, and published research papers on the psychology of well-being. Then, I built a corporate career designing well-being apps.

I became an expert in the science of emotions, stress, and resilience.

But when it came to actually sitting with my own feelings? I was completely disconnected from my own body, emotions, and needs — pushing myself toward perfectionism and always chasing the next achievement.

Then I got diagnosed with a rare eye cancer.

I was 35, at the height of my career, with a two-year-old at home.

That’s when things really went to shit.

The next couple of years were filled with uncertainty. I had cancer treatment, I lost functional vision in one eye, I got laid off, and then burned out with consulting gigs.

And I had no choice but to change.

I had to find an inner rhythm that was more sustainable — a way to release myself from the emotional exhaustion of always trying to be fine.

I realized I didn’t need more knowledge — I needed to reconnect with myself, from the inside out.

Not through more routines or achievements, but by learning to be in my body, listen to my intuition, and meet myself with acceptance and self-compassion.

To let myself be openly pissed off, terrified, and imperfect.

Healing, for me, doesn’t look like a 5-step morning routine (toddler mornings, lol) or a feed full of wellness influencers.

It looks like making space for all my emotions — even the uncomfortable ones.

It looks like putting myself first.
Releasing the pressure to perform.
Reclaiming joy and pleasure for their own sake.
Letting my nervous system relearn what safety feels like.
Prioritizing my own values and goals.

In my corporate work, I saw how often “well-being” really meant be more productive.

And in my personal experience as a mother, I saw how often “well-being” really meant do more of everything.

But we are more than any one role we hold. We’re whole humans — carrying caregiving, chronic stress, hustle culture, climate fear, relationship rupture — all of it — in our bodies.

And our nervous systems are holding so much.

We can’t productivity-hack or positive-think our way out of that.

So I became a coach.

To support others who feel how I felt: burned out, emotionally shut down, exhausted from holding it all together.

People who are smart, sensitive, high-functioning — and totally disconnected from their own feelings.

This is the space I hold for you:

• Letting your nervous system exhale

• Feeling emotions instead of analyzing them

• Building resilience — not to bear more stress, but to release it

• Meeting yourself with compassion and radical acceptance

A space where you can finally show up without the mask.

Where your feelings get to matter.

Where you’re allowed to put yourself first.

Where you can say the thing you’ve never said out loud — and be met with acceptance and compassion.

Come as you are.

I’m glad you’re here.
