Here’s the truth: “Getting paid to be you” has been sold to us like it’s the holy grail of freedom. But here’s the part no one tells you—it can just as easily become another performance trap. Another hustle. Another way of proving instead of actually living.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the alchemy of dethroning this shiny mantra and what it really takes to feel free in your work and your life. Spoiler: it’s not more courses, more clients, more followers, or another spiritual playbook for success.

We’re getting into:

• Why chasing more never gets you where you think it will.
• How my business went from defining me… to simply being what I do.
• The subtle but powerful difference between branding yourself and becoming yourself.
• The dance between survival mode, choice points, and actual maturity.
• And yes—a story about Benji, pasta, parmesan, and salt (because you know I can’t leave out the messy, human parts).

If you’ve been trying to “make it work” by being more visible, more polished, more everything… this one’s for you. Because the alchemical approach to getting paid to be you isn’t about performing harder. It’s about slowing down, purifying what’s in the way, and finally becoming the version of you who can walk through the right doors.

Listen with your body, not just your mind. Something new wants to move through you.

A powerful look at how Human Design can guide you out of consumerism’s “never enough” trap and back into balance, self-trust, and real freedom.

Consumerism is in the air we breathe—and it’s shaped even the spiritual and self-help worlds, selling growth from a place of “you’re broken.” In this episode, Meg shows you another way. She reveals how to spot the trap, walk a different path in your own life, and use Human Design to see when you’re out of balance so you can return to alignment and self-trust.

August is here to show you what’s real.

This month isn’t just about checking in—it’s about witnessing yourself. Who are you now, really? August shines a light on the scaffolding of your life and asks you to reckon with how far you’ve come since January. The frequency you chose back then? It’s taking form now. And not without a little chaos, clarity, and cosmic confrontation.

With Mercury retrograde stirring the mental pot and Uranus squaring off with old routines, this month invites you to listen inward like never before. The Akashic energy is asking you to stop outsourcing your knowing. Your guides, your wisdom, your truth—it’s all in you. But will you trust it?

Expect breakthroughs, resistance, some big emotional weather, and a new relationship with order. You are not who you were. And that’s not a problem—it’s a portal.

Priority Takeaways:

• August is a mirror. Look back to January and ask: Who have I become?
• Your guidance is not outside of you—it’s already in your bones.
• Mercury Retrograde (through Aug 11): Slow down. Do what lights you up. Let joy be your GPS.
• Full Moon in Aquarius (Aug 10): Harmonious, clarifying, and community-minded. Expect revelations.
• Venus-Jupiter alignment (peaks Aug 12): Big feelings. Big beauty. Big desires. What are you craving?
• Virgo Season begins Aug 22: Welcome order. Routines return—but not the old ones.
• New Moon in Virgo (Aug 23): Plant new seeds around service, structure, and what devotion really looks like now.
• Uranus square: Your outdated systems won’t cut it anymore. That’s the point.
• By the end of the month: rejection = redirection. Pain might be the portal.
• Your nervous system and inner compass are the most trustworthy tools you have.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about refinement. A sacred reorganization. A month where your inner truth isn’t just a whisper—it’s the blueprint.
