The Powerhouse Podcast

What if the crown wasn't the reward… but the result of becoming who you were always meant to be? We decided instead of our usual podcast, we couldn't keep this experience hidden away in the recordings cloud storage abyss. In this deeply personal episode, Megan hosts a live virtual Powerhouse Pageantry event, joined by Dr. Tiffany Thornton, the reigning Mrs. American 2025. Together they unpack what it really takes to rise as a wife, mom, business owner, and woman of faith in the world of Mrs. pageantry. You'll hear Tiffany's powerful story of redemption and rediscovery — how she stepped back into pageantry after 20 years, rebuilt her confidence through identity work, and found her voice again after seasons of silence. From learning to surrender control, to finding purpose in motherhood, to understanding why rest and refinement are just as holy as hustle — this conversation will hit home for every woman balancing family, faith, and a God-sized dream. And there's one jaw-dropping moment from Tiffany's national pageant experience that you won't believe… a moment that completely redefines what grace under pressure really looks like.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to rebuild identity after motherhood, loss, or transition The real reason Mrs. pageantry feels different — and how to thrive in it The secret to balancing high achievement with peace and rest How to turn your story into impact (without oversharing or performing) Why authenticity and surrender are the new “winning edge”   Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy   Learn the Full Interview Mastery System (complete in a weekend): howtowinyourpageant.com/interview    DM ‘365Q' for 365 Practice Interview Questions FREE: www.instagram.com/powerhousepageantry  Follow Me on IG: www.instagram.com/meganswansonrhodes    Watch on Youtube www.youtube.com/@powerhousepageantry   PODCAST ESSENTIALS & GEAR I USE Blue Yeti Microphone https://amzn.to/3ZodLfr  Webcam https://a.co/d/8lKR6TA   Silver Yeti Glitter Wrap: https://amzn.to/3LiTSjR  Awesome Computer-Attached Light https://amzn.to/3P5WByh    As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.   Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3nbUVyQqfT5CLYSZO6wWgs?si=abf5437f5e5c413b   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-powerhouse-podcast-how-to-win-your-pageant-how-to/id1448191693  On this podcast, we talk about… Mrs America 2025, Dr Tiffany Thornton, pageant winner story, faith testimony, Christian women's empowerment, overcoming abuse, domestic violence survivor story, pageant interview tips, Powerhouse Pageantry Podcast, Megan Rhodes, women of faith leadership, resilience after trauma, pageant interview questions, how to answer pageant interview, pageant platform example, current events pageant questions, pageant storytelling, pageant coaching, miss interview tips, identity work for women, faith and identity, purpose over performance, self worth vs achievement, you are not what you do, values alignment, limiting beliefs, belief reprogramming, identity shift, core state change, inner child work, mindset reset, confidence from identity, purpose driven life, Christian identity coaching, life after pageants, life after big goal, rebuild confidence after failure, how to find purpose again, sustainable success habits, daily check-in routine, evening reflection practice, morning identity routine, goal setting that sticks, break perfectionism paralysis, progress over perfection, achievement addiction, identity work, mindset coaching, pageant mindset, dopamine trap, burnout recovery, confidence, Christian coaching, neurolinguistic programming

Smart, capable women don't lose interviews because of one bad answer. They lose because of repeated patterns they aren't aware of. In this episode, Megan unpacks the subtle habits that quietly cost points, why judges form an opinion in seconds, and how to swap those losing loops for winning ones rooted in clarity, presence, and integrity.   In this episode, you'll learn: Why first impressions happen fast—and what judges are subconsciously scanning for. The hidden patterns that make strong contestants sound forgettable (and how to spot yours). The difference between “proving” and truly connecting in interview. How grounded identity (and faith) translates into concise, confident answers. A simple way to audit your own answers so you stop rambling and start landing the point. What to practice weekly so your delivery feels natural under pressure.   Learn the Full Interview Mastery System (complete in a weekend): howtowinyourpageant.com/interview    DM ‘PATTERNS' for free guide to go along with this episode: www.instagram.com/powerhousepageantry    Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy Follow Me on IG: www.instagram.com/meganswansonrhodes    Watch on Youtube www.youtube.com/@powerhousepageantry   PODCAST ESSENTIALS & GEAR I USE Blue Yeti Microphone https://amzn.to/3ZodLfr  Webcam https://a.co/d/8lKR6TA   Silver Yeti Glitter Wrap: https://amzn.to/3LiTSjR  Awesome Computer-Attached Light https://amzn.to/3P5WByh  As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no cost to you.   Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3nbUVyQqfT5CLYSZO6wWgs?si=abf5437f5e5c413b   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-powerhouse-podcast-how-to-win-your-pageant-how-to/id1448191693  On this podcast, we talk about… pageant interview questions, how to answer pageant interview, pageant platform example, current events pageant questions, pageant storytelling, pageant coaching, miss interview tips, identity work for women, faith and identity, purpose over performance, self worth vs achievement, you are not what you do, values alignment, limiting beliefs, belief reprogramming, identity shift, core state change, inner child work, mindset reset, confidence from identity, purpose driven life, Christian identity coaching, life after pageants, life after big goal, rebuild confidence after failure, how to find purpose again, sustainable success habits, daily check-in routine, evening reflection practice, morning identity routine, goal setting that sticks, break perfectionism paralysis, progress over perfection, achievement addiction, identity work, mindset coaching, pageant mindset, dopamine trap, burnout recovery, confidence, Christian coaching, neurolinguistic programming

One thought shouldn't hijack your whole day. Or worse, you let one negative comment completely throw you off for the biggest pageant interview of your life. In this episode, Megan breaks down a fast, reproducible four-step reset that moves you from spiral → stable in minutes. You'll learn how to spot the exact thought that's running the show, interrupt it on command, uncover the “positive intent” beneath unhelpful habits, and replace the lie with truth—grounded in scripture and backed by simple brain science. Two quick guided exercises at the end help you feel the shift in real time.   Mini Identity Reset (3 days, 30 min/day): Turn your inner voice from bully to coach and set a clear target with your renewed identity.

What if the harsh voice in your head isn't “the truth,” but a clumsy survival strategy that can be rewired in minutes? In this episode, Megan blends Scripture with brain science to reveal why negative self-talk keeps recreating the same outcomes—and how a few surprisingly playful shifts (yes, playful) can lower its volume, change its meaning, and open up a calmer, more productive inner world. You'll hear a raw origin story, then step-by-step tools to interrupt the spiral, recode your “mental operating system,” and finally feel congruent with the woman you're working so hard to become. Inside the episode The real reason self-criticism sticks: its hidden “positive intent” and how to meet that need in a healthier way. A fast dissociation exercise to shrink the critic's power (including the “remote control” trick). The thermostat principle: how inner narratives quietly reset your results, regardless of achievement. Pattern-interrupt language that stops rumination and pivots you into action. Faith × neuroscience: practical ways to “renew your mind” so behavior change lasts. State shifts on demand: using the body to move the mind when you're stuck. A bite-size, 3-day reset to turn your inner voice from bully to coach.   Mini Identity Reset (3 days, 30 min/day): Turn your inner voice from bully to coach and set a clear target with your renewed identity.

If you've checked every box on your vision board and still feel empty, this one's for you. Coach Megan unpacks the Achievement–Validation Cycle—why high performers get trapped in it, how it creates identity crashes (even after a win), and the exact mindset shifts and daily system to break free. You'll learn her “parachute at the summit” analogy, a simple Power Five routine, and why working only on skills/behavior rarely fixes an identity-level problem. (And stay til the end for a special opportunity!!!)

What if winning your interview wasn't about having the “perfect” answer… but about creating an unforgettable moment that makes the judges feel something? In today's episode, Coach Megan introduces you to the Kama Muta Effect—a powerful communication principle that literally translates to “being moved by love.” You'll learn how vulnerability, authentic confidence, and emotional storytelling can break down walls in an interview and make judges fall in love with you—not just your words. We'll cover: Why 93% of interview impact has nothing to do with what you say The difference between telling vs. showing your story The exact mistake that makes even the most talented contestants fall flat How to use emotional vulnerability to create unforgettable connection Practical examples of turning generic answers into moving, judge-winning moments If you've ever left an interview feeling like you were “forgettable,” this episode is your blueprint for turning every word into an experience that sticks.   Interview Course

What do you do when your dreams feel miles away and your confidence is shattered? In this raw and deeply personal episode, Coach Megan shares the story she's rarely told — the truth about hitting rock bottom at 19, the breakdown that left her in a fetal position… and the small, daily steps that led her to win Miss Nebraska just 500 days later. You'll hear how she rebuilt her identity from the ground up, invited God into her healing journey, and trained her brain to believe the impossible. Whether you're feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure if your pageant goals are even possible anymore, this episode will restore your hope — and give you a game plan to start moving forward today. This isn't just a story about pageants. It's about becoming the woman who wins.  

What if the problem isn't your interview prep, your walk, or your paperwork—but your mindset? In this powerful behind-the-scenes coaching episode, Megan peels back the layers on why so many high-achieving women feel stuck, overwhelmed, or on the edge of burnout… even when everything looks great on paper. She walks you through her Brain Map Framework—a visual breakdown of how your identity, belief systems, and subconscious thoughts create your emotions and drive your behavior (yes, even the weird arm flail onstage). If you've been overthinking your pageant prep, second-guessing your decisions, or asking “Why am I still not winning?”—this episode is your answer.
