As a professional dancer in NYC, Meghan spent years auditioning against girls who looked exactly like her. They competed for one spot, to fit into that one costume, to stand out the most. Meghan wanted to stop working against her competitors and start building a community where everyone deserves the lead role. She created her online fitness platform, Glisten, to do just that! Her community means moving with confidence, having fun, getting strong, and leaving each class feeling empowered.

In the episode, Haven chats with Meghan about growing up as a dancer, moving to NYC to pursue her dreams of dancing professionally, and what it was like to pivot her goals when her dream job wasn’t making her happy. They discuss why Meghan started Glisten and how she built the courage to bet on herself. This episode is for anyone who is on the fence about taking the leap and pursuing their passions. Meghan encourages listeners to go for their goals and to find the type of movement that truly brings them joy.
