To trust yourself enough to pivot at any age, abandon imagined fears, and follow the path your soul is whispering to you? Today, I’m joined by the incomparable Dominique Sachse — beloved content creator, podcast host, beauty guru, former news anchor, and true embodiment of tenacity, adaptability, and courage. In this powerful, heartfelt conversation, Dominique shares the story of her journey through massive life transitions, public scrutiny, reinvention, and learning how to trust in something bigger than fear. We talk about everything from bold career moves, faith, and resilience… to hair, of course. Dominique opens up about receiving criticism in the public eye, redefining purpose in midlife, transforming through loss, and allowing herself to follow her heart even when the world had an opinion. This episode is a beautiful reminder that you are allowed to evolve, change your mind, and create a life that feels aligned — not just expected.

EP221: The Body Image Trap: How to Finally Break Free

“You can’t hate yourself into a version of you that you’ll love.” -- Meg In this episode: * Where your negative body image actually came from—and why it’s not your fault. * How past comments, comparisons, and memories quietly turn into long-held beliefs. * The unconscious thought patterns that keep you stuck in insecurity without you even realizing it. * Practical, powerful tools to start shifting your mindset and creating a healthier relationship with your body.

Between family gatherings, social pressure, photos, food, comparison, and the rush to start planning our 2026 goals, it’s easy to slip into insecurity or feel like you need to “fix” something before the new year. That’s exactly why I wanted to bring this episode back right now. Before you set any goals for 2026, I want you to slow down, breathe, and look at your body with appreciation—not urgency. Because your goals should come from loving yourself, not from hating parts of you. In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth behind negative body image—where it really comes from, why it sticks, and how to take your power back. I’ll walk you through guided questions, mindset shifts, and one of the most transformative exercises I’ve ever done: writing an honest “love letter” to my body. If you’re feeling triggered, insecure, frustrated, or just exhausted from thinking about your body during the holidays, this conversation will help you reset, realign, and move into the new year from a place of confidence, compassion, and clarity.

EP219: How to Protect Your Energy from Difficult People

“How to get along with difficult people has nothing to do with the other person. It has everything to do with you loving yourself and freeing yourself.” -- Meg In this episode: * How your thoughts about “that a-hole” instantly shift your vibration—and what that means for what you attract next. * Why not taking things personally (online, in traffic, at work, in your family) is one of the most powerful energetic shields you’ll ever have. * How to accept that everyone has a different model of the world, set clean boundaries, and choose who gets access to you—without dropping into drama. * Why forgiveness (of others and yourself) is ultimately about your freedom, and how acting from love instead of fear keeps you in a high-vibe, manifesting state.

The driver who cuts you off, the barista who gets your order wrong, the friend who cancels last minute—if you let them, other people’s behavior can tank your mood and your vibration in a matter of seconds. In this episode, I walk you through a simple game to feel your energy shift in real time and show you how quickly your thoughts can pull you from high-vibe to low-vibe… and exactly why that matters if you care about the life you’re creating. We’ll talk about why nobody can “make” you feel anything, how the Law of Attraction ties into your reactions, and how to stop wasting your energy trying to control, fix, or decode other people. Using concepts from The Four Agreements, the NLP idea of a “model of the world,” and some real-life stories (including being trolled online and even by my sweet grandma), I’ll give you seven powerful ways to protect your energy, keep your vibe high, and free yourself from other people’s drama—without becoming a doormat or bypassing boundaries.
