Main Character Moment

Joined by my roomie/bestie Matt again for today's episode where we catch up on all the productive things we've done around the house recently, my latest sleep walking quirk, and our quest for better sleep hygiene. Also talking about how to deal with feeling like you're constantly taking 2 steps forwards and 3 steps back in life, whether it be in your journey of career, love, or self-discovery. 

Today I'm talking about my history of wishing I could fast forward and jump to a future chapter. As I've gotten older, time moves so much quicker and I've realized how important it is to be present in whatever season of life you're in. That's why I'm trying to hold onto this summer for as long as possible (and how I'm doing it). Also recapping a wholesome weekend and revisiting old hobbies. 

I have nothing of real importance to say this week other than that I'm happy, my nails are short and naked, Kate, Matt, and I "started a band," and I wish I could hold onto these times and summer forever. 

Discussing the age old question I just can't seem to escape: how do you achieve work life balance when work feels inescapable? I don't have a perfect answer but I do have some thoughts. Also recapping a sailboat engagement party and the captain who ate all our food. 

I'm joined for this week's episode by Matt the Architect as we recap my birthday trip to NYC: where we stayed, where we ate, the new outfit I got that had people stopping me in the street, and why you should always leave room for a hot dog after dinner.

It's the last week before I'm in the last week of my twenties babyyy! Reflecting on why I used to always get the birthday blues and how I made it to the other side. Also recapping my year based on what my tarot cards told me. 

It might be time for yet again, another content rebrand. At least this one is rooted in wellness and not chaos. Also an update on how living in sin is going and how I plan on maintaining my independence and alone time. 

This podcast episode is for Taylor fans and if you're not a Taylor fan then you probably won't love this one. Anyway. Here's my recap of the much awaited Eras Tour weekend with my sister in Chicago. Which, spoiler, did surpass expectations. (PS This is probably your sign to go buy the tickets).

The ending of an era. Which normally would make me emo but I'm just so happy and excited. Talking about all the exciting things happening this weekend (big life events, TAYLOR), being back on my Hot Girl Walk grind, and re-capping an incredible experience at my first Jewish wedding. 

Catching up on the Canadian May 2-4 long weekend (still feels weird saying that), my thoughts of the week (missing my friends who live elsewhere, what else is new), how I came to acquire Taylor Swift eras tickets, and why I now have beef with Stubhub. Also pretty sure I had a brain aneurysm while recording, enjoy. 

In: Doing Ins & Outs Of The Week on the pod. Why I'm so ready for Summer Girl Season, some summer goals, the it girl drink of summer, and using my phone for both good and evil. 

Recapping the Miami bachelorette weekend (TLDR it was a blast and a half, and there was of course, plenty of sistermoon time). Sharing some thoughts on living apart from my sister and my advice for anyone who has distance between them and their best friends or family. It's not easy, but you're not alone. Also, a quick rant at the end because sometimes you just gotta bitch. 

After this upcoming bachelorette weekend in Miami, obviously. Also sharing some thoughts on how influencer culture has impacted my shopping habits (spoiler, some changes need to be made). 

Only one way to beat the Post Vacation Blues and that's by looking forward baby. Talking about some fun things coming up soon. I'd also be remiss to not mention the wedding of the Century (Ms Sofia Richie Grainge) and why I think people care so much. 

Recapping more of the trip to Japan on our last morning here. Thoughts on the perfect amount of time to go on vacation, how to ease back into life and deal with the post-vacation blues, and a true main character moment story of how Matt and I were destined to have omakase before we left. 

We're in Japan so you guys are stuck with another Matt episode. Talking about how jet lag is real, what is and is not living up to the hype, how our first fight delayed me from making an extremely important purchase because the vibes were off, and all our tips and tricks from our first week in Japan. 

Literally 11:30 pm the night before we leave for Japan and I decided that it was the perfect time to have my boyfriend join me for a very special podcast episode. Feels like a very on-brand experience of dating me. Enjoy our chit chat! 

Sometimes we go through chapters where we only have so much to give. I'm coming out of one of those. Really thrilled to be out of my "work is the only thing that matters" era, and really thrilled to be back on the pod. 

I'm back babyyyy! Coming in with the hot tea that you've been asking for. Sharing major updates in my love and work life, plus, what you can expect to see more of with the pod. Welcome to Season 2 besties. 

Some recent events in my personal life are inspiring me to look back. In the archives back. That's right, we're reading old journal entries today. Plus, why you should keep a journal, a few writing prompt ideas, and how past me is holding present me accountable and keeping me on track.

What would my life look like if social media wasn't part of it? I've never even thought about it until recently and guys, we need to discuss. Also sharing an update I think you will very much appreciate ( that is definitely not making its way to TikTok), and, advice on what to do if your partner starts traveling for work and you're feeling anxious. 

Back at it and I promise I won't disappoint. Sharing what I've been up to recently, why I'm really glad I've taken a bit of a step back from social media, some tea, and some general life thoughts.  

Happy breakup anniversary for all the fellow May 2021ers, we made it fam! Reflecting  growth and changes over the year, plus, a weird story from a party I went to over the weekend. 

This week, Meghan recounts going to the Olivia Rodrigo concert; solo and surrounded by teenagers. Also, some thoughts on why doing things alone is one of the most freeing and fun things you can do (+ tips on how to do it). Oh and she might have actually performed witchcraft because this story is too wild to be true. 

We're back, baby! A recap of Coachella (including thoughts on Revolve Festival and feeling super #blessed to not run into one person in particular). Plus, reflecting on what has passed and what is to come. It's time to let go and embrace this next chapter. 

Meghan is joined by Dr. Jessica January Behr, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and Founder & Director of Behr Psychology for a candid conversation about lovebombing. Why do people lovebomb? What are the warning signs to look out for? And, how do you move forward in dating after this has happened to you? We're diving in. 

Part two of the terror reign of Dyson Man. Diving into the strange cracks in the relationship , the "hey girl" email, the crazy text Meghan received after fleeing his apartment; plus, the reality of having your trauma go viral and then get featured on the Daily Mail. 

Mr. Dyson Man is in the house!! Well, not really, but we are talking all about him and how he got his vacuum nickname. In this week's episode, Meghan revisits the whirlwind romance she had with a man who was in fact lovebombing her, oh and also on dating apps the entire time they were together. Why is it so hard to trust our gut sometimes? Why do we justify weird and bad behavior simply because other green flags exist? Let's dive in. 

Meghan and her sister Kate go on a very main-character-moment packed girls' trip to Los Olivos, drink lots of wine, and meet a California surfer vibes  cowboy, along with his fluffy baby cows. Plus, an unexpected text comes through. 

Meghan goes on a second date, and spoiler, it was weird. A reminder that just because they seem "nice and normal" doesn't mean that they actually are. But hey, as long as safety is prioritized, it's just plot development. Plus, Meghan speaks to a regression in her breakup healing journey. 

Sooo, maybe we're scratching that 2022 Dating Detox. Meghan shares an update from a recent date, how her approach to dating will be different this time around, and a reminder that it's always okay to change your mind. Plus, we're back with more listener questions. 

We're picking up where we left off last time. How this side character got nicknamed "Paella Man." Seriously, what is it with people choosing to dump their significant others at the most random times (ie. like right in the middle of an elaborate cooking date night)? 

Last May, Meghan went through a breakup and found solace in #BreakupTikTok, deciding to join the party and start sharing her own healing journey on the app. In this week's episode, Meghan tells the whole story that never made its way to TikTok. The rise and fall of the relationship with Paella Man (you'll understand this nickname soon). Why do we attach ourselves to people who are wrong for us? And why do we double down and fight for it when it all starts to fall apart? Buckle up for this one. 

You have that dreaded gut feeling that you want to end your relationship. How do you know you that it's not just a phase and you really want to break up with them? And how do you do it? Meghan looks back on the early signs and some lessons learned. Plus, an ode to the single girl era. 

A true Main Character Moment... the story of that time Meghan got sued by her ex. Yes, that actually happened. After initiating a difficult and painful breakup with the man she lived with (Part 1), Meghan's ex decides he is entitled to a breakup fee. This is the story of the lawsuit that unfolded the year following their breakup. 

Have you ever had to blow up a great relationship because something isn't right? After allowing her relationship to become the centerfold of her life, an unexpected opportunity to start traveling weekly for work causes Meghan to re-evaluate the life path she is on. 

On this week's episode of Main Character Moment, Meghan reveals the one ex she is surprisingly on speaking terms with, shares what her sociopathic cheating and lovebombing ex has been up to as of late, as well as provides some thoughts on the whole #WestElmCaleb situation. Plus, follower stories you won't want to miss. 

Join Meghan for a trip down memory lane as she recounts the story of her first love and heartbreak. Why do first loves hold so much power over us? Why is it so hard to walk away from something toxic? And how do we move on from these relationships? Don't ask teenage Meghan these questions because, as you'll learn, she was pretty dumb. Fortunately the 27-year-old version has some wiser insight. 

In the first episode of Main Character Moment, Meghan introduces herself and shares what she has planned for the podcast. From the first loves, to the guys who love you too much, to the guys who don't love you enough, we are jumping into it all.
