Ready to experience hair care that actually supports your nervous system? In this episode of Taking Flight with Megan Holly, we’re joined by Vittoria, a destination personal hairstylist who brings the salon experience to you—indoors, outdoors, lakeside, even backyard chic. We play a fun “guess her job” game while unpacking how low-tox products, scalp-first rituals, and meditative moments can lower cortisol (yep, stress!) and help your hair—and confidence—thrive.

We cover:
• Scalp health 101: why tending your scalp (even if you’re hair-minimal) changes everything
• Low-tox + minimalist routines: ingredients that love you back, fewer tools, simpler steps
• Meditative scalp massage & low-cortisol care: how calm bodies grow better hair
• On-location styling: flexible setups (tiny spaces, no sink? no problem) that fit real life
• Safe space energy: “comfortable silence,” presence, and feeling truly seen
• Mirror work & micro-rituals: three-heart daily self-care, permission to exist as you
• Foundations that last: setting you up so everyday hair feels easier—and more you

This isn’t vanity—it’s vitality. If you’ve been craving simpler hair, calmer mornings, and a stylist who sees the whole you (scalp to soul), this convo will land. 🔗 Connect with Vittoria: INSTAGRAM + her WEBSITE

EPISODE 69: In this tender and soul-stirring episode of Taking Flight, Megan shares how a childhood storybook, a beloved stuffed animal, and a deep belief in possibility sparked a lifelong understanding of manifestation. Through the tale of her first dog, Taz (who, yes, was visualized into her life with the help of a very well-loved copy of The Velveteen Rabbit), Megan explores how open-hearted imagination and small, intentional actions can turn dreams into reality. Spoiler: she may have manifested a job, too—and not just any job, but one she could vividly see herself thriving in before it ever existed.

But this episode goes far beyond visualization. Megan invites listeners to embrace the magic of being "real"—through acceptance, action, and a willingness to stay open even when life feels wobbly. Whether you’re curious about manifestation, skeptical but intrigued, or someone who’s always believed in the quiet power of childhood wonder, this episode wraps it all in love, laughter, and realness (with just the right amount of sass and sparkle).

EPISODE 68:
In this cozy, heartfelt episode of Taking Flight, Megan dives into her personal monthly ritual for calling in abundance, grounding her energy, and refreshing her space—inside and out. From cracking a window in every room (even in Midwest winter!) to embracing simple practices like deeper cleaning and spritzing soul-nourishing scents, she shares how intentional living can be a form of self-respect. You’ll laugh at the “Megan droppings” and smile at the idea of couches as gratitude magnets—yes, even when covered in dog hair.

More than just a cleaning checklist, this episode is a reminder that your space reflects your spirit. Megan explores how resetting your home can reignite your energy, enhance your creativity, and invite more joy and flow into your life and business. Whether you're a fellow intentional homemaker, an energetic reset enthusiast, or someone simply seeking more peace and productivity—this one’s for you.

EPISODE 67:
In this episode of Taking Flight, we’re keeping it real, reflective, and a little ridiculous in all the best ways. Megan answers a curated list of listener questions ranging from confidence and imposter syndrome to irrational childhood beliefs (did singing to the sun actually work?!) and what she’s currently loving in life. From open mic night nerves to ziplining fear, this episode dives into what it means to choose confidence over comfort in the everyday moments—whether you're on stage or simply digging in your backyard.

You’ll hear stories, mindset shifts, laughter, and even a few sparkly metaphors that will leave you smiling and thinking. Megan shares how she navigates perfectionism, the myth of the “perfect start,” and why naming her inner critic “Regina George” helps her take back control. This is an episode for anyone needing a reminder that growth doesn’t require perfection—it just needs a little shimmer and a lot of heart.✨

EPISODE 66:
In this deeply personal and courageous episode, Megan shares one of the most vulnerable truths of her life: choosing to live child-free by choice. With her signature mix of humor, insight, and soul, she opens up about what it’s like to walk a path that goes against the grain—a path that isn’t often talked about openly, especially for women. This episode is a permission slip to explore and stand by your truth, especially when it doesn’t follow the “shoulds” society so often hands us.

Whether you’ve made a big life decision that feels different from those around you—or you're standing at the edge of one—this conversation is here to remind you that your life is yours to design. You’ll walk away with a deeper sense of how to trust your intuition, hold your own inner compass sacred, and bring more openness, lightness, and honesty into your personal journey. This episode is a warm hug, a gut-check, and a rallying cry for bold, heart-led living.

EPISODE 65:
In this fiery episode of Taking Flight, Megan dives into a topic that hits home for so many: what to do when your passion feels like it’s fizzled. Whether you’re feeling disconnected from your work, your relationships, or even yourself — this is your reminder that you’re in the driver’s seat of your energy, your fire, and your next chapter.

With her signature warmth and realness, Megan explores the idea that passion produces passion — and reigniting that spark starts with asking better questions, shaking up the routine, and getting honest (with yourself and others). If you’ve been craving something more, this episode will leave you inspired to pivot, reconnect, and rise into a version of life that feels aligned, exciting, and totally yours.
