Musings with Meg

88. My autumn arc: how losing myself forced me to finally find myself

If I told my January 2025 self everything that happened this year, she would definitely have a heart attack. Because after an amazing 8 months of travels and highs, my life got shaken up. "Who's writing my life script?" I kept asking. Oh yeah, it's God. And I asked him to force me on my highest timeline, so He answered my prayers — painfully. Shedding friendships, rediscovering my values, a one-way ticket, lots of tears... sometimes, it takes unexpected "loss" and to make room for breakthroughs and "kill" your old self for GOOD. Nothing changes if nothing changes, so this time, everything changed. Tune in for the rebirth I needed, and how I'm re-writing my life with a level of clarity I never had before. If you're navigating transitions or questioning what actually matters, I hope this episode makes you feel less alone. :) --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ * 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/megkuang/] * 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.substack.com/] * 🎵 TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@megkuang] * 🎀 ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.notion.site/Meg-Kuang-4138e65756b947bfa4c7bf8f69bcc0ff] --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ * Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠ [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musingswithmeg/support]

87. Authenticity includes the good, the bad, the ugly

Real isn't perfect, but maybe that's better. It's messy, it includes the trials behind the tribulations, it's struggling and being able to show it because it paints the whole picture. Press play for a real asf Meg-Jayson conversation about the very art of embracing authenticity — the fears, the reframes, and why it's the only way to truly set yourself free. Whether online or in person, in content or friendships, I share my struggles with authenticity, where it'd held me back, and where I intend to head. Topics: * Why perfection kills connection * Letting go of algorithm anxiety * The power of showing your lows * Authenticity as your natural people filter * Healing with vulnerability and love --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ * 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/megkuang/] * 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.substack.com/] * 🎵 TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@megkuang] * 🎀 ⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.notion.site/Meg-Kuang-4138e65756b947bfa4c7bf8f69bcc0ff] --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ * Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠ [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musingswithmeg/support]

86. Don't dim your spark, go to brighter rooms

If you’ve ever been called “too much” or caught yourself shrinking to fit in, this episode is your reminder to stop giving power to the wrong voices — online, offline, or in your own head. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned about navigating doubt — from the voice in your head that says you’re not credible, to the people who can't clap for you. Let's talk how I’ve reframed criticism, the psychology of haters, how to protect your precious energy, the influence of your circle, and mindset shifts for building true confidence so you can shine even brighter in the face of resistance!! Because your spark is not up for debate besties — it’s proof you’re on the right path. --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ * 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/megkuang/] * 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.substack.com/] * 🎵 TikTok: ⁠⁠@megkuang⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@megkuang] * 🎀 ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.notion.site/Meg-Kuang-4138e65756b947bfa4c7bf8f69bcc0ff] --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ * Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠ [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musingswithmeg/support]

85. Crushing imposter syndrome: the identity-achievement gap

Ever feel like you don’t deserve the job, title, paycheck, or platform you’ve worked your ass off for? It's that nagging voice that whispers “you’re a fraud” — aka, imposter syndrome. And spoiler: it’s not proof you don’t belong, it’s proof you’ve levelled up. In this episode, I take you on a walk with me (literally) to unpack the psychology behind imposter syndrome — why your brain freaks out when your achievements outpace your self-image, how comparison traps and perfectionism fuel the fraud feeling, and what I’ve personally done to shut it down. From being the youngest in the room in my career, to stepping into leadership roles I didn’t think I deserved, to battling the inner critic around content creation, I share the exact mindset shifts and “reps” that helped me build real confidence. If you’ve ever felt like you’re faking it, this one’s for you. By the end, you’ll know: * Why imposter syndrome hits ambitious people the hardest * How to reframe it as a sign of growth, not weakness * The simple practice of “reps” that rewires your confidence * Why faking it isn’t fraud—it’s fuel Imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you don’t belong. It means you’re in the right arena, and you deserve to be there!! --- ⊹ LINKS ⊹ * 🌻 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@megkuang⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/megkuang/] * 💌 Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Meg Mondays⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://megkuang.substack.com/] * 🎵 TikTok: ⁠@megkuang [https://www.tiktok.com/@megkuang] * 🎀 ⁠Website⁠ [https://megkuang.notion.site/Meg-Kuang-4138e65756b947bfa4c7bf8f69bcc0ff] --- ♡ SUPPORT ♡ * Leave me a rating/review ★★★★★ * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a paid subscriber⁠ [https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/musingswithmeg/support]
