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.

July is asking us to come home—to the land, to our bodies, to our feelings, and to what truly matters. With water and earth guiding the way, this month is about grounding like your life depends on it (because it kind of does). Emotions are high, the cosmos are chaotic, and Uranus is stirring up your nervous system in a big way. But within the mess lies the medicine. This forecast invites you to deepen your emotional intelligence, rewire your relationship with self-worth, and choose presence over performance. It’s a month for tending—to your bonds, your bones, and your body—with grace, curiosity, and a whole lot of earth energy.

Priority Takeaways:

• Ground in your body daily—don’t just process emotions, feel them.
• Tend to your bonds—let go of outdated expectations and allow others to surprise you.
• Nervous system regulation is non-negotiable—Uranus in Gemini = mental chaos.
• Notice your desire to “figure it out” and instead lean into curiosity.
• Full Moon in Capricorn (July 10): Take radical responsibility and build new internal structures.
• Leo Season begins July 22: Let joy, play, and creative self-expression lead the way.
• Leo New Moon (July 24): Rebirth yourself—even if the collective doesn't quite get it.
• End of the month = wild card: Can you loosen your grip and let life surprise you?

Ever catch yourself acting like the version of a parent you swore you'd never be?

In this short and spicy solo episode, Meg shares a raw story about what she calls her “90s mom moment”—when the anger hits, the guilt creeps in, and the shame starts whispering that you’ve failed. Instead of spiraling into self-punishment, this is a look at how to stay with yourself in the mess and let that moment be part of your spiritual transformation—not the thing that disqualifies you from it.

This is your permission slip to be human, bring it all to the mat (and the magic), and remember: guilt and shame are not your teachers. They’re the magic killers.

In this episode of This Crazy Little Thing Called Life, we’re talking about the sober moments—the ones where the shiny things stop sparkling, the proving loses its charge, and you’re left with something way more real:

Your own discernment.

• How the nervous system reacts when you stop chasing
• The myth of the noble martyr and why we’re done with it
• Listening to the voice inside that actually knows
• Akashic insight on why the work is no longer about effort—it’s about resonance

If you’ve been in a season of recalibrating your relationship to ambition, creativity, and self-worth—this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

Because truthfully?
What if devotion isn’t about sacrifice—it’s about beauty?
