Hi, I’m Megan.

My friends and family call me Meg.

Sometimes I use big words to try and sound smart. Typically I am only about 72% sure I am not using the word erroneously, but I say it with 110% conviction. I think this is one of the great secrets to life. No one is ever 100% sure of anything, just do it confidently and you’ll be fine.

I’m 6’3“ barefoot. Well really, 6’2 & 3/4, but I round up. I also usually wear heels. I’m grateful for being so tall because it’s forced me to not try and fit in with everyone else. I think that’s why we’re here— to have fun and be our unique selves.

I’m also grateful to my height for helping put me through college on a volleyball scholarship to Villanova. Between you and me, I think my athletic pursuits were more an attempt to earn the affections of my professional football player father rather than a genuine source of joy, but I’m awfully grateful for the free education, strength and confidence playing sports gave me.

I am freakishly good at Tetris. And parallel parking. Every time I back my car into a tight spot on the first try with traffic waiting, I feel like I am proudly representing all of woman-kind. I like proudly representing woman-kind, and showing other fabulous ladies of the world how big, bad and bold they can be. I have a strong suspicion that women could save the world if they just learned to stop asking permission and trying to please other people all of the time.

I am 38. I am married to a sexy psychologist named Joseph, who is a former Marine and Federal Special Agent (aka badass). We have two incredibly spoiled French bulldogs named Linus and Leroy. We split our time between our beach house in St. Augustine, FL and our cabin in Taos, NM, amongst lots of other adventures. I don’t share my life to impress people, but to impress upon people that you have the power to design this thing called life however the hell you want it, if you are willing to dream bigger and color outside the lines. The rules are, there are no rules. The sooner you get that, the sooner you are free to start having fun. And boy, do we have a lot of fun.

When I’m on a plane and I feel turbulence, I immediately imagine the plane crashing. I don’t have a fear of flying. Or dying. I have a fear of dying with regrets. I like remembering that I could die at any moment because it helps wake me up to my life and reminds me of what is most important. In the event of my imaginary untimely death, my greatest life regret used to be that I never went on “my great adventure.” So when I was 30, I bought a one-way ticket to Europe and traveled by myself for almost half a year having “my great adventure.” Which did NOT disappoint. Now, when I imagine my plane spiraling out of control and crashing into the Earth in a fiery explosion, my only regret is that I never slowed down long enough to write “my book.”

I’m a life coach by profession, and founded a company in 2008 called Fruition Coaching. Before that, I worked alongside the OG, Tony Robbins. I’ve learned a hell0fa lot over the last 15+ years of getting to participate in the lives of thousands of people from all over the world. I’ve had the great privilege to work with some of the most impressive and inspiring people to walk the Earth— from celebrities and professional athletes to CEO’s of some pretty big companies you’ve probably heard of. After almost two decades of studying people and pondering life’s biggest questions and problems, I have figured out a few things about life. It seems a shame for those things to die inside of me, unshared.

Hence, the birth of this blog.

I realize I’m about 20 years behind the blogging trend, but I figured this little space on the world wide web could be a nice place to start to put down my thoughts… you know, just in the off-chance that the Director yells “cut” before I get that book deal!

These are some things I want you to know.
