The Decision I Never Thought I’d Make: Pausing the Self StartHER Podcast

In this final episode of Self StartHER (for now), the roles are reversed. Megan is interviewed by mentor and coach Teresa Heath-Wareing for an honest conversation about the podcast, the journey, and the decision to press pause after 200 episodes. Together, they reflect on: * Why the podcast began before Megan ever had a business * Getting laid off while pregnant and how the podcast became a lifeline * What 180+ interviews taught her about confidence, imposter syndrome, and messy action * Why loving something doesn’t always mean continuing it * Choosing time, family, and alignment in this season of life * What this pause really means and what’s coming next This episode isn’t a goodbye. It’s a pause. A breath. A shift. If you’ve ever felt called to let go of something that once fit or needed permission to evolve, this conversation is for you. There are 200 episodes of Self StartHER available anytime...and the community continues!
