Are you stuck in the “I’ll be happy when…” cycle? In this episode of The Self Love Project Podcast, Megan gets real about why happiness can feel so elusive even when life isn’t “that bad.” She shares her own experience of chasing milestones only to feel like she’s on a treadmill—always reaching, never arriving—and the powerful shifts that helped her step off.

You’ll hear how revisiting childhood joy, intentionally adding fun back into everyday life, and practicing presence (even in the shower, at the dinner table, or during a conversation) can transform your day-to-day experience. Megan breaks down why being present is so hard, what’s really happening in your brain when you try, and simple ways to start practicing “just this” moments.

By the end, you’ll see that happiness isn’t hiding in your next promotion, your next trip, or your next big life milestone. It’s available right now, in the small, ordinary moments you’re living today—if you’re willing to actually be here for them.

In this episode of The Self Love Project, we’re busting the myth that a “perfect” morning routine is the secret to success and instead reframing mornings as a tool for self-love. Megan shares her own experiences with trying every popular routine under the sun — from miracle mornings to endless checklists — and the shame spiral that happens when you can’t keep up. You’ll learn why routines actually work on a brain-and-nervous-system level, why they fail when we copy other people’s lives, and how to create one that’s flexible, supportive, and yours. She breaks down her “3 non-negotiables” — doing something for your body, your mind, and your soul — and shows how even five minutes can shift your energy for the day ahead. This episode is a permission slip to ditch the all-or-nothing thinking and design mornings that meet you where you are. Because your morning routine isn’t a test to pass or fail — it’s a conversation with yourself about what you need to feel good.

In this episode of The Self Love Project, we’re talking all about authenticity — what it really means, why it’s so connected to self-love, and why it feels both scary and freeing at the same time. Megan shares a personal realization about being a “text chameleon” and how even small choices, like using emojis or laughing freely, reveal whether we’re being true to ourselves. You’ll explore the paradox of authenticity — how both being real and hiding who you are require effort, but only one path leads to energy, freedom, and connection. From everyday moments like choosing dinner to big life decisions, authenticity shows up everywhere — and losing touch with it can feel like wearing a heavy mask. This episode will inspire you to start small, drop the performance, and give both yourself and others permission to show up as your real, unapologetic self. Because the world doesn’t need a watered-down version of you — it needs you.
