I had so much fun connecting with Megan Birkel in today’s episode of LMNH! Megan and I BOTH moved at the end of a pandemic year and I couldn’t wait to compare notes on the crazy adventure of relocating with two kids. In this episode, we’re chatting about: Ending up where you least expected to after countless challenges... Prepping your kids for change and allowing them to feel their feelings (even when it’s super uncomfortable) How Megan found her new house (it’s an amazing story, really.)

More than 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates suggested all disease begins in the gut. He was mostly right, and we’ve talked about the gut many times on this podcast – in relation to athletic performance, optimising the gut microbiome, and even how to use probiotics. But a couple of weeks ago I realized that we’ve never talked specifically and in depth about exactly what to do when you have a gut problem. GI issues are where I started my health journey, and probably bring more clients through our doors than any other condition, and they can affect absolutely anyone - athlete or not. On this podcast, NBT Scientific Director Megan Hall and I are talking about the steps to take when your gut isn’t working right. We talk about how things tend to go awry in the first place, signs and symptoms that you have a gut problem, and the first things to try to get quick relief. Megan also discusses the most scientifically-validated lifestyle modifications, supplements, and lab tests to try, as well as the pros and cons of using antimicrobials.

Megan Amerine teaches us how to leverage people, resources, systems, and tools to achieve real estate growth in 2021. Hear insights about: Megan’s real estate journey with Five Pillars Realty How to leverage people, resources, systems, and tools so we can remove ourselves from the bottleneck of unlimited potential The business model Megan and her team have used to achieve exponential real estate growth How Megan continues to find qualified, talented team members in a state of rapid growth How Megan’s team approaches the screening, interviewing, and onboarding processes The unique role of administrative support in Five Pillars’ business model The personality tests Megan uses in the hiring process How Five Pillars supports personal/professional development within the organization Balancing Success and Happiness in Real Estate Megan Amerine oversees the administrative side of Five Pillars Realty Group as a partner to Shelby Osborne. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to my conversation with Shelby before, you can check it out here. I am blown away by the rapid real estate growth Five Pillars has achieved and I thought this would be the perfect time of year to bring Megan on the show. She works behind the scenes to support the mass influx of new agents and transactions. In this episode of Pursuing Freedom, Megan joins us to share her story and talk about leveraging people, resources, systems, and tools so we can remove ourselves from the bottleneck of unlimited potential! The Business Model for Real Estate Growth We cannot be great at everything as individuals because we don’t have time to be great at everything! Oftentimes, that notion causes us to get in our own way. Time is the number one roadblock to achieving real estate growth because it is one of the few factors beyond our control. Megan is an expert at time and energy management, and that is the primary means she has used to scale her real estate business. Megan and many of her team members come from a Keller Williams background, and they have followed Gary Keller’s philosophy to a T. Five Pillars uses a business model that puts admin at the foundation of the organization and builds around it. This way, everyone else that comes on has the support they need to grow and excel. That is why Megan’s team has grown exponentially since its formation. Finding Quality Talent Once you have a business model that can support your pathway to real estate growth, you need to fill it with qualified individuals. Many of us struggle to find good candidates whose vision and values align with our own. This is another area of Megan’s expertise as she has brought on a significant number of new employees in the last year alone. Megan has placed real estate agents in leadership roles on her team, and they are apart of the hiring process. Megan’s agents are involved in screening, interviewing, and onboarding to ensure the support roles being filled will meet the exact needs of their agents. With an effective business model in place sustained by world-class talent, you will be on your way to real estate growth in no time! About Megan Amerine Megan has made not enjoying the agent part of real estate into her career–she specializes in the transactional side of the real estate world. Her very first job at 15 was in a real estate office, and she hasn’t been able to get away from it since–Megan has been licensed in North Carolina since 2015. She worked for two years as a full-time agent, then worked as a virtual transaction coordinator for a friend while her husband was deployed in 2017. She never ended up back in the agent seat. Instead, Megan started her own transaction coordination business, and has since joined forces with Shelby Osborne at Five Pillars Realty Group, who was her first agent client, to head up the admin side of the house. The team has grown exponentially since they first linked up through a mutual friend in 2018. Megan has worked or overseen nearly 500 transactions since she got her license in 2015. In addition to running the team, Shelby and Megan now run a consulting business together, teaching powerhouse agents how to transition into powerhouse teams with their tried and trusted systems and tools. All of her business is in North Carolina, which she does from the comfort of her home in New England with her toddler and baby #2 on the way!

I don’t know about you, but I have this mentality of ‘I’m not trying to lose weight but I’m not trying to gain any either’ even though I enjoy eating healthy and working out. We live in a society that promotes thinness and anything other than that is treated unkindly. But think for a moment, what would happen if you took your weight out of the equation in your health and fitness journey?  In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I have with me Megan Hadley, a nutrition therapist, and owner of Simple Nutrition. She has helped hundreds of clients recover from diet culture and believes that all bodies are good bodies and that all food is good food. She explains how she uses the principles of getting healthy on her clients without focusing on the weight.  Listen in to learn why most weight loss practices are not sustainable for longer periods. You will also learn about other issues related to food that you can manage other your weight.   Key Takeaways: The power of intuitive eating in helping you serve your body better and be less concerned about what you eat.  Understanding why most weight loss practices are not sustainable for the long-term.  How food freedom looks like- eating food while honoring your hunger plus moving your body in ways that feel good to you.   How the right timing of meals can help you to enjoy food better. The strategy of approaching healthy eating without the goal of weight loss. Why the fear of weight gain is just as harmful as the weight loss pursuit.  Episode Timeline: [2:01] Megan describes what she does as a non-diet dietician who uses Health at Every Size informed practice, plus her personal journey with intuitive eating.  [7:26] How Megan helps women see it’s the system of weight loss that’s not working, not them.  [16:50] Helping people manage their other issues around food without weight loss as the primary goal. [21:13] Megan explains what the Health at Every Size movement means and how she helps her client address their weight gain/ loss issues.  Quotes: “We have a lot of these rules to follow as it relates to food and not in a positive way.”- Megan [11:51] “As long as weight loss is the most primary goal for a person, you’re always looking at external cues in order to drive your decisions when it comes to food.”- Megan [17:22] “There are other measures to health other than weight.”- Megan [23:49]  Connect with Megan: simplenutritioncounseling.com  https://www.instagram.com/nutritionissimple/    Come join the Girls Gone Healthy fitness community: https://bit.ly/2PZ2zTC     

When Megan came to me this May 2020, amidst the peak of the hardships that came with the pandemic, she was really struggling with binge eating, over exercising, perfectionism in her eating and body checking constantly. On top of all of this, she also had a laundry of food sensitivities that were adding to the complicated nature of all of this – or so she thought. After 4 months of working together through my one-on-one coaching program, The Intuitive Way For Eating, she no longer body checks first thing in the morning, she eats what she wants, she's much more compassionate with her exercise regime. Oh, and those food sensitivities? We resolved them altogether – and they had nothing to do with the food.  Episode Notes In this episode we discuss: - Why Megan reached out for help when she did- How Megan instilled trust in intuitive eating after following conventional diets for so long - What was actually at the root of Megan's food sensitivities - The major benefits Megan has noticed in her life since adopting and living out the intuitive eating philosophy- How she made peace with her changing body - What Megan is able to do now that all of her thoughts aren't consumed by food and exerciseIntuitive Way For Eating Winter 2021 - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONSClaim one of the 15 spots for the Winter 2021 Intuitive Way For Eating program and submit your application today!

Megan Spawn is a licensed behavioral health counselor located in Sioux Falls. She provides mental wellness services and therapy for children, marriage, relationships, divorce, and more. I’m excited to have her on Solopreneur Money today to discuss relationships and money for solopreneurs. These two topics can be complicated for anyone, but they can be even more of a challenge for solopreneurs. Learn about money and relationships as a solopreneur from relationship expert, Megan Spawn, on this episode of Solopreneur Money.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... How Megan got started on her solopreneur journey [2:02] The challenges of being a solopreneur [5:58] Financial lessons from a successful solopreneur [9:52] Relationships as solopreneurs [12:52] Tools for successful communication [19:55] Money questions [26:48] Mastering finances [29:34] How did Megan get started as a solopreneur? Megan got a taste for entrepreneurship early on by watching her mom successfully open and run 3 different businesses. She attributes this example to the reason she was able to strike out on her own after 8 years as an employee. Megan wanted to make more money and gain more independence and once she realized that she could be making $50,000 more a year by working for herself she was finally able to walk away from the security that the safe route brings.  Lack of confidence can postpone your solopreneur journey Taking the leap into private practice wasn’t easy. She struggled with confidence as a solopreneur. Megan thinks the reason that she didn’t go into practice for herself sooner is due to that lack of confidence. Did your confidence affect your timing of becoming a solopreneur? Even though she was hesitant to start her journey as a solopreneur, Megan says the biggest question she has asked herself is: why didn’t I do this sooner? As a solopreneur, communication is important to maintaining your relationships Striking out on your own is stressful and can impact your relationships. It’s important to keep the lines of communication open in your relationships. Be prepared to speak up and voice your needs. It’s also important to listen to your partner and understand their needs as well.

Participating in a live coaching session on air takes a lot of courage, and today’s guest, Megan Thompson, has stepped up to the plate. In this episode, Megan, who is an existing client of Chris’s, shares the current confidence roadblock she is facing. As someone who has already experienced a 60 percent increase in fulfillment in just five sessions, Megan has seen just how powerful coaching and be, and her desire is now to share that with others. Of course, when trying something new, self-doubt sets in, so we talk about how to act from a place of confidence and ultimately make better decisions. Megan knows that she has to look for evidence to prove her limiting beliefs wrong, and this has already come in the form of being told she is a great coach. Although validation from others can be helpful, Megan displays incredible awareness knowing that true, unshakeable confidence comes from within. We also talk about acting from a place of abundance and not scarcity, reframing rejection as a learning moment, and why you cannot solve your problems with the same brain that created it. Megan is a fantastic example of someone who enjoys the challenge of continually showing up for themselves and pursuing growth.

Time is precious. Are you spending your days doing what you love with the people you love? What if multifamily real estate could help you do just that? What if you could achieve financial freedom fast—regardless of your current financial situation? Megan Lamke is Managing Partner at Megan Lamke Real Estate, a firm that helps driven women turn their grit into true financial growth. She built a network of real estate investors working for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, and once she and her husband, Darik, had paid off their personal debt ($535K in under 5 years!), they started investing passively in multifamily syndications. Megan quit her corporate job to pursue active investing full-time in April of 2019, and today, the Lamkes have a portfolio of 1,491 units valued at $344M.  On this episode of Apartment Building Investing, Megan joins me to explain why she took a W-2 job after college (despite wanting to become a real estate entrepreneur) and what she and Darik did to live below their means and pay off their debt so fast. She describes what she did to find a good operator as a passive investor and how she leveraged her sales and marketing background to transition to active investing. Listen in for Megan’s insight on how to raise capital at scale with a platform and learn how YOU can achieve financial freedom and spend time doing what you love!

In this weeks episode I speak to Megan Kitt, Founder of Tuli a fairtrade jewellery business that creates employment in East Africa. We talk about the power of sustainable employment and economic independence in tackling poverty. Megan has a really interesting back-story of how she came to become a social entrepreneur, starting out as a journalist and part-time model which both ultimately helped inspire and create the opportunity for her to create a jewellery business.   What I found really powerful talking to Megan was the fact that scaling impact isn't always about the number of people you're working with, supporting or employing – and that providing sustainable employment opportunities to individuals is key to tackling poverty long-term. In this episode we discuss: How Megan discovered she could use her experience to provide a market for the women making jewellery in Uganda and how she started her social enterprise [2:08] 6 years in, Megan shares how many men and women she's supporting in Uganda and Kenya [6.02] The challenge of making a business from East Africa and the issues Megan has faced with scalability [6:51] Megan's “big vision” to fight poverty in a sustainable way through fairtrade and employment [7:55] How Megan is measuring how she's tackling poverty and creating social impact [13:12] The motivating factor of having your social impact data and stories [17:10] The power storytelling has in helping your brand grow and the ethics to consider when sharing other people's stories (as beneficiaries) [18:57] Megan's business model and why she employs local managers in country in East Africa [29:20] What Tuli is now doing with it's profit to help the communities it works in grow in a sustainable way [34:00] Tuli's Links:  https://tuli.co/our-story https://www.facebook.com/tulistore https://www.instagram.com/tulistyle/ _____________________________________________________________________________________Follow Kat Instagram: @katluckockcoaching Facebook: facebook.com/shareimpactpod Subscribe here to the podcast to receive weekly email updates of the latest episode: Join The Impact Entrepreneurs Club for free: https://www.facebook.com/groups/shareimpact Learn more about my Selling to Corporates as a Social Entrepreneur Course here: https://shareimpact.org/sell-to-corporates Struggling to achieve your income goals as a Social Entrepreneur?  Get the FREE 6 step blueprint and discover exactly how to achieve your monthly income goal every month and pay yourself what you're worth and truly desire.

At NBT, one of the first things our clients do is complete a food diary. This helps us quickly identify any problems with macronutrients, micronutrients, and meal timing. What we’ve seen over the years is that few people - even those eating a Paleo-type diet - are consuming enough protein. This can have immense consequences on longevity, blood glucose management, and maintaining a healthy weight. In this interview, NBT Scientific Director Megan Hall and I talk about the importance of getting adequate dietary protein. Megan discusses the current recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein compared to optimal levels needed to support muscle mass and strength as we age. We talk about protein myths and misconceptions and outline protein requirements for specific populations, including athletes and those following weight-loss diets.

In Episode #43 of ADHD for Smart Ass Women, Tracy speaks with the delightful Megan Margaret Burlingame. Megan is 34 years old, a wife and the mother of two very busy boys. Throughout her childhood, Megan struggled mightily with her ADHD but is clear about the fact that her struggles also led her to discover her Superpowers. Today Megan lives in Arlington, WA where she works with cities, counties and government agencies to advise them on zoning and legal land issues. In her free time, she operates a small flower farm where she also grows a large variety of organic heirloom tomatoes.  Tracy invited Megan to her podcast after she posted this response to another member (of her Facebook group) who said she was having trouble seeing anything positive about her ADHD.  “The more I educate myself about it, the more I realize that it makes me who I am. I am so so good with people, I understand their natures and moods. Sometimes it is like a wave of emotions that hit me when I enter a room and, while inconvenient, let's me see the true nature of people. I am also much more empathetic because of how much I was picked on for skipping around school constantly, saying the wrong things, laughing too loud, etc. I love to root for the underdog and think that cruelty from others for any reason is horrendous. In a crisis or when someone is swamped with work, I can jump in and formulate a plan, execute it with a maniacal glee, and excel beyond my peers. I am ALWAYS thinking, I constantly have ideas. This is challenging but once I make up my mind that I want something... want it enough anyway, there is no stopping me. I love to fail, it is like a challenge. My husband says, he learned a long time ago not to tell me that I "couldn't do something" and he is right because I will want to do it, even if I had no interest in it before, and then I will 95% of the time prove him wrong in the process and succeed. I am fiercely loyal, to a fault even. I love what I love and I love who I love fiercely. These are all things I attribute to my ADHD and they are all wonderful. Yes, they are also a double-edged sword but so is every other personality type I think. I used to wish everything wasn't so hard but now I realize that I would not change it for the world because I have a lot of grit and I am a living example of someone who literally failed each grade through 10th grade until leaving tiny private schools that only taught for the neurotypical brain. I had a 3.3 GPA in running start, a community college program that got me within 4 classes of my AA by high school graduation, and 12 years later I earned my bachelors degree summa cum laude with a 3.95 GPA. It wasn't easy but I never gave up on my dreams either. There is a lot to be frustrated with indeed but much to rejoice in as well. We are not the same as the neurotypical but that is OK.” Tracy and Megan talk about: How Megan got from failing ever grade through 10th grade to embracing her strengths.  How important supportive adults/parents are given the 20K more negative messages ADHD kids hear by the time they’re 12. Megan’s revelation around taking medication Non-pharmacological workarounds  Megan’s best advice to those who are struggling with their ADHD and/or are parents of children with ADHD Resources:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-nPM1_kSZf91ZGkcgy_95Q https://www.summitflowerfarm.com https://www.facebook.com/summitflowerfarm/

"One run or two runs, or even a handful of runs, in the grand scheme of things isn’t really going to make that much of a difference. So I try not to get too stressed out about it." You may know Megan Harrington (formerly Kretz) as one of the OG running bloggers: She is the woman behind the popular "Runner's Kitchen" blog. In 2008, Megan had just graduated from Wesleyan University and moved to New York City to pursue her writing dreams. She joined the Central Park Track Club — and Twitter! — and started blogging about her training, in addition to working a slew of different jobs, including writing, editing, and working at a law firm. Today, Megan is a mom of two (to Teddy, 3, and Evelyn, 13 months) living in upstate New York with her husband, Brian. She works several part-time jobs: She's a freelance writer, social media manager for a local newspaper, and peer breastfeeding counselor for the county WIC program. On this episode, Megan talks about her recent postpartum half-marathon PR, when she fits marathon training into her busy life, and how running has changed for her since becoming a mom. Megan will be running the Chicago Marathon in two weeks.

Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD) is an inherited disease that atrophies skeletal muscles and results in poor development of motor skills and other modes of movement. While dental hygienists obviously don’t treat CMD, they will nevertheless likely encounter patients who live with the disorder and consequently have special requirements in the dental chair. Matty Manley and Megan Meyer are the hosts of the Two Rare Mama Bears podcast, where they discuss CMD in all its forms, explore the difficulties faced by those who live with it, and speak to a variety of experts and policy-makers on the subject. Matty and Megan are themselves both mothers to children affected with congenital muscular dystrophy and also lead the CMD advocacy team. In this episode, Megan and Matty discuss their own highs and lows raising children who live with CMD, help us understand just how convoluted the diagnosis process can be, and explain how our offices and techniques should aim to accommodate for patients with CMD.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 8:44 - How Megan and Matty found common ground and ended up launching the Two Rare Mama Bears podcast. - Their method for planning the podcast, coming up with episode ideas, and seeking out guests. - Defining muscular dystrophy and its effects on those who live with it. - What specialized difficulties do patients with CMD experience when receiving dental and/or orthodontic treatment? - Matty and Megan explain just how complicated and protracted a process it was for them to confirm their children’s CMD diagnoses. - How Megan and her family had to become “medical refugees” to get better medical care. - Megan and Matty’s experiences dealing with people insensitive to their children’s conditions and what terminology dental professionals should use with regards to those affected by CMD. - What dental offices can do to be more accommodating to those living with CMD. - What are the different subtypes of muscular dystrophy?   QUOTES: “‘Failure is not an option’ came from us saying ‘Okay, we have no idea what we’re doing, but we have to make it work’.” “We had one of the shortest diagnostic journeys—and it took us two years.” “Dental care might be further down on their priority list because they’re literally trying to stay alive.” LINKS: Cure CMD homepage - https://www.curecmd.org/ Two Rare Mama Bears podcast - https://www.curecmd.org/podcast   Thank you to Paradise Dental Technologies aka PDT for providing sponsorship for this episode!

Many of us assume that we automatically feel our feelings, but unfortunately it’s not that simple. There are so many ways society encourages us to deny, avoid and repress emotions. Megan Jane Soutar is a self healing guide who I have had the honor of knowing as a friend and client for many years. As Megan describes in our interview, her transformation has taken her from someone who numbed emotion, to someone who intellectualized emotion, then finally to someone who could FEEL their emotions, fully. And in this transformation Megan has come to working with others in truly feeling their feelings too.  Episode Highlights: 1 min - Marks introduction, dealing with hard emotions. 6 mins - Introduction to Megan Souter and her role as a self healing guide. 15 mins - Numbing emotions instead of feeling them. 17 mins - Megan’s experience of depression in childhood and living with mental illness within the family. 21 mins - Living within a disruptive household. 27 mins - Intellectualizing emotions to avoid feeling them. 31 mins - The safety to have your own experience and emotions. 39 mins - Megan’s experience of bullying throughout school. 46 mins - Living at your highest level of integrity.  50 mins - Dealing with major life changes and coming off of medications. 59 mins - How Megan is using her story in her life and work today. 1hr 7 mins - Shaming our feelings. 1hr 18 mins - Stepping out of the story we have been assigned.

We all want to be more productive. But you know how it goes—a little late getting started, a quick task you just remembered, and then it’s non-stop interruptions all day long. Where does the day go?  Trust us when we say we’ve been there. But we finally learned a simple hack to start the day right and maintain focus all day long.  The secret is a set of four daily rituals—or routines—that get your started right every morning and, every evening, set you up for success the next day.  Don’t panic! When we say “rituals” we’re really talking about daily routines. You could also call them “stacked habits.” It’s a way of batching all the pesky (and some really important) things that could become disruptions as the day moves along.  Put these rituals to work for you, and you’ll break free from that feeling of being always a little behind. You’ll replace that with a feeling of calm and control because you know you’re fully prepared for each day. Inside this episode What a “ritual” is (and isn’t). Scientific reasons why habits work for you. A simple formula for starting a new habit. Three benefits of installing daily rituals. The 9 elements of Michael’s morning ritual. How Megan adapted her morning ritual to having young children.  Megan’s current morning ritual  They key question that makes for a great ritual. Why it’s vital to estimate the time needed for each ritual.  How a startup ritual declutters your day. Elements of a solid startup routine. The very best way to avoid bringing work home each day.  A simple hack to protect the time for your morning and evening routines.  The best way to ensure that you leave the office on time.  How timing evening routine on time sets you up for success the next day. How to get started with creating your daily rituals.

Because, it was like all the big juicy questions that I had been thinking about my whole life I now got to sit down on purpose with someone and ask things like ‘What do you want? Who are you being? What’s important to you?’” (03:44) “It’s [Rockstar Camp] a leadership development program that’s unraveling the shame that we have around being seen and heard. It’s unraveling the conditioning we have that I can’t do something unless I do it perfectly.” (12:21) “I believe that being an entrepreneur and running a business is the most intense personal growth path you could possibly choose.” (14:54) “One of the reasons I started building Rockstar Camp is because, as I was teaching coaches how to build a business, the people who were succeeding were the people that were willing to be seen and heard in public.” (18:37) “Feminine energy is about connection, pleasure, intuition. It’s about outrageousness. It’s about fun. It’s non-linear. It’s non-logical.” (20:02) “For me, it’s [Zen Money] the being and the doing, which is what coaching is all about. And so, I have to be in a right frame of mind and a right frame of being in order to do the things that are required.” (25:46) “It’s being in an empowered state of mind and state of being so that I am more powerful than my money. I’m in control of my money. My money’s not controlling me. That’s Zen Money.” (26:54) About Megan Jo Wilson, CPCC: Megan Jo Wilson has been a Certified Professional Co-Active Life Coach for 15 years and is the founder and Creative Director of Rockstar Camp for Women based in beautiful Portland, Maine.

I am happy to have you on. Megan Rigby:                00:06                Thank you so much for having me. I'm excited to do this with you today. Karen Litzy:                   00:10                Yeah. And so what we're gonna do is we're going to talk about your sort of entrepreneurial journey, your business story, because, as I said in the intro for you, you are a doctorate prepared GI nurse practitioner and a nutritional consultant and a whole bunch of other stuff. But, something that I think the listeners of this podcast can relate to is there's a lot of healthcare workers, things like that who are listening to this podcast who maybe have started their careers in a hospital and clinic, but maybe you want something a little bit more. So I would love for you to kind of share your story of how you made that transition from, I love that you say you were like a corporate girl in a hospital or clinic, but when you're in healthcare, that's kind of the equivalent. So go ahead and tell us your story. How'd you do it? Megan Rigby:                01:03                I never planned on being an entrepreneur having my own business. That's just not something I ever saw in my future. My Grad program, I had focused on family and childhood obesity. It was my dissertation. I love health and nutrition. I think it's the preventative to a lot of health care. So I always tried to teach all my clients that, but I started to get frustrated a few years in just because working for corporate, you're kind of inside a box. And I think there's a time and place for complimentary medicine and modern medicine and sometimes that can be hard when you're working for a hospital. And so I started having more and more people talking to me on the side about health and nutrition and fitness and people would just start asking, Hey, can you give me an advice? Give me tips and I'll pay you. And so slowly I started doing nutrition plans and education on the side. Megan Rigby:                02:05                And over time I was able to build it into an online business. I realized that my limitations that I have within the clinic are able to actually be kind of removed online. I get to spend more time with my clients, educate them, and truly provide a service that's unique to them. So with time it took probably, I mean two years I was doing a lot of my own online stuff, while working full time in clinic. And then I gradually dropped down to more of a part time position once I started picking up online. And then within the two years I was actually able to make more than what I was making clinic with the online business and I transitioned over and I left September 2018 and now I run my own company doing health, fitness and nutrition. Karen Litzy:                   02:57                And I would imagine that there are pros and cons to this. So I'm just going to name one pro and one con. Right. So the pro, obviously you can probably help more people with online programs. Con would be, do you miss having that person sitting in front of you? Megan Rigby:                03:16                I do. I missed that. But the beautiful thing about online is you can still do zoom calls face to face. So there is still that where you can talk to them. So almost like a telehealth. I would say one of my biggest cons is when I used to leave the clinic, it was kind of like my work was done. Like my charts were done, I was done seeing patients. Now, I feel like I'm on a lot more so my day doesn't end nine to five. I work a lot more around the clock. I feel like, and that's something I'm still trying to work on as a new entrepreneur. Karen Litzy:                   03:50                Yes. And that is absolutely true. I think a lot of people when they think I'll just start my own practice, they think you can leave it at the door when you leave, but you cannot. You're always doing something. I mean, there are times like last night it was midnight and I'm working. Megan Rigby:                04:09                Yes. It never goes away because it's now your business, you're responsible for everyone you're taking care of and you're responsible for bringing more clients in. And so definitely you work, I think a lot more being an entrepreneur, but at the same time you have more freedom, which is nice. Karen Litzy:                   04:26                Yes. You have a little more flexibility, you have a little more freedom. So there's pros and cons to all of this. But let's start, how, if you can get even a little more granular into your kind of transition from hospital to on your own. So my first question is how did you have this conversation with your employer? That's a question I get asked all the time. Megan Rigby:                04:51                Yeah. So I think you have to just be honest about it. And that was something that they knew that I loved the nutrition aspect of things. I love being able to teach and spend more time. So when I went down to part time, you know, I let them know that I was, you know, on my side I was, you know, just educating and teaching people about nutrition and health. And that was not going to interfere with my job. And I think that's the biggest thing. If you can, you know, let them know, reassure them that you're not letting it interfere with your work and how you come in every day and interact with your patients there that you know, helps them as well, as well as not ever taking any of the businesses patients. Karen Litzy:                   05:37                Of course I think we say that of course, but maybe people do. I don't know. Megan Rigby:                05:46                Yeah. And that was something where it's kind of drawing, you know, a line in the sand and making sure that both of the jobs stayed away from each other and they never came together. And I think that's something that a lot of people have to remember. Like I would love to have been able to work at work, but you can't do that. I mean, I came home at night and I saw my clients from online at night and there was no crossing that during the day at all when I was clocked in and I was being a nurse practitioner in the clinic. Karen Litzy:                   06:13                Yeah. And I think that's great advice. And it's just dry and clear boundaries for yourself and also being respectful of your employers. Megan Rigby:                06:21                Yeah. Because in the end, if you decide to go back to clinic, you need recommendations and burning bridges is not something you want to do because who knows? I mean the venture that we have or I have, it may, may die down one day and I do need to go back to the clinic. So I never want to slam that door shut because it provided me so many opportunities. Karen Litzy:                   06:42                Absolutely. And I remember when I left the physical therapy clinic I was working at, it was really hard to do because I really loved working there. But they now refer patients to me and I refer patients to them. Right. So it's like you don't want to burn those bridges because guess what, they can help you and you can help them. And I think you want to really make this a win, win for everyone. So you have this conversation with your employer, they're understanding, you go down to part time for you, what was, if you can describe kind of the hours worked in clinics or are you down to like 20 hours a week or less and obviously we know you're working then on the online part, but what was the breakdown for us? Megan Rigby:                07:33                They let me go to three and a half days a week, which was nice. And so that was considered more of a part time position there. So I worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then half day Thursday and I was off Fridays. So I would make sure that all my check ins and my main communication with my clients would be on the weekends. That works best for me. So Thursdays I would do all of my prep when I got off work. And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday, those were my days that I was really able to devote to the actual online business and evenings whenever I, you know, was able to after work I would come in home and I would do what I needed to do. But otherwise it was an 8:30 to 4:30 Monday through Thursday, half day. Karen Litzy:                   08:21                And since going completely on your own, do you give yourself a schedule? Because it must be difficult, right? Megan Rigby:                08:28                I'm still close the computer when there's still work to be done and I always want to make sure that everyone is getting the, you know, service and communication that they deserve. And I think that just comes from being a healthcare professional that you know, you want as much time devoted to each and every client. And so it can be hard to kind of turn that off and feel like you still have unanswered questions or things going on. Karen Litzy:                   08:59                Yeah, there's no question. And again, that's where kind of setting boundaries for yourself comes in handy or making sure that you know, you have scheduled times that you're working even with the online clients and that they know that. Not that they're taking advantage because I don't think they are, but if you allow yourself to be available 24 seven then guess what, people will take you up on that offer. Megan Rigby:                09:27                Yeah. So it is, it's creating boundaries too. And that's what I have learned. It's been hard, but yeah, working, you know, maybe nine to like four and allowing lunch in there, is something that I'm striving to be more consistent with. But it is nice because if you have appointments, you know, you can schedule those in and that's where the flexibility has been really good. But also drawing the line of when you kind of cut it off at night. Karen Litzy:                   09:52                Yeah, absolutely. And now how do you advertise? How do you market yourself? Megan Rigby:                09:56                So social media is kind of where it's all at, as exhausting as it can be. I have, you know, my page and that's where a lot of people find me word of mouth has been the biggest thing and I value that the most. I think if people can refer other people to me because they've had great experiences and outcomes, that's where I've actually gotten a lot of my clients. I don't really do a lot of paid advertisement or anything right now. Like I said, it's just word of mouth and then making sure people who do follow me or start following me understand, you know, where I'm coming from and really being open and vulnerable on social media so everyone kind of knows who I am and there's no hiding. Karen Litzy:                   10:44                And what advice do you have for the listeners on how to be vulnerable? Because that's hard. Megan Rigby:                10:50                It is really hard.  I think it's just to be true to you and stand by what you believe in and how you practice. And provide honest, you know, education, advice and share yourself I think with people has been the hardest thing because a lot of people will look up to healthcare professionals, you know, and think that there may be on a pedestal or something. And I think making yourself relatable is the most important thing because we're all humans and so we all have struggles as well. And I think putting those out there so people can relate to you is going to bring more clients in and more, you know, followers as well. Karen Litzy:                   11:30                Okay. So how do you make yourself more relatable? Because isn't social media is supposed to be like, it's your highlight reel. We don’t want to show people that we have any problems. Right. Megan Rigby:                11:40                With me, it's a pretty easy with the nutrition and the fitness and health because I think, you know, as a female we struggle with appearance. We struggle with, you know, day to day eating healthy, making the right choices, preparing food for our family. So I can relate to a lot of that. You know, I've had my own insecurities and I'm not perfect every day with how I eat. There are days that I want to go to dairy queen and have a blizzard. So I'm able to really relate to people in that spectrum and then talking about, you know, different health issues that so many of us women struggle with and it can affect how we lose weight and really making sure that we stay on top of those. So whenever I talk about something, I try to draw in my past experiences with it and I think that usually helps a lot. Karen Litzy:                   12:28                Yeah. I think that's really good advice. And what would you tell people who maybe have these great stories and we know this is what you should do to kind of get people to get to know you, like you and then eventually right purchase from you. Right. What if you're scared to put yourself out there? Like how do you overcome that fear? Megan Rigby:                12:53                I think you have to jump in with both feet. Like if you are truly passionate about starting a business, that's vulnerable in itself and then putting yourself out there on social media. Like you just have to realize that people are gonna love you or hate you. And as awful as that sounds, it's the truth. I mean, people are going to be drawn to you. So just jumping in and sharing it, whether it's just the writing at first. I know a lot of people are camera shy, so sometimes they say like blogging at first is really good. Or just sharing it on your Instagram through words, before going into any of the videos or anything like that. Even you know what sharing with your family sometimes too because you can be vulnerable with them and getting feedback sometimes can be a little bit comforting if you're not ready to just jump. Karen Litzy:                   13:40                Yeah, I think that's great advice kind of sharing with friends and family are sharing within a trusted circle. Megan Rigby:                13:47                Before it's scary. You're going to get judged. That's human nature I feel like so people will judge, but people also will be able to relate to what they hear from you. And those are the people you want following you and interacting with you. Karen Litzy:                   14:05                Yeah. And do you have any sort of memorable comments or notes or things that people have sent to you that have stood out because you've been a little bit more open? Megan Rigby:                14:17                Yeah. So when I do stories I try to talk about topics that have affected me recently. I usually always try to keep things kind of close to my heart. And so when people message me and say, oh my gosh, I needed this today. It's been such a struggle, like it, it's so nice to know someone else's out there going through it with me or I appreciate the advice. So those things always help to kind of reaffirm like there are people listening and what I am saying is holding others. So, you know, it makes me want to keep doing that more and more. Karen Litzy:                   14:52                Yeah. I love getting those notes. I think it's so cool. And I always think to myself, Gosh, you never know who's watching, sitting, listening. You just don't know. Megan Rigby:                15:01                Cause you're always impacting someone. There's always someone out there watching and listening. Like she said, you never know. So if it's something you're passionate about, something you love and you want to be heard, then it's worth sharing. Karen Litzy:                   15:15                Absolutely. I agree. 100%. We’ve been talking that you're in that nutrition, fitness realm, very crowded field. Every time you turn, everywhere you look, someone is talking about nutrition, whether that be good or bad evidence based or not. It's out there. So what advice do you have to stand out amongst all this competition? Because I'm sure it can be applied to almost any industry. Megan Rigby:                15:49                It can. I always say be true to you. So whatever you believe, stay with that. It's so easy to get into the comparison game of you know, what they're doing or you know, this is the new trend, but you have to do your own research. You have to believe in what you believe in and talk about that. I think that's the most important. So many people in the fitness industry just jump from one trend to another. And so it's whatever the hottest topic is. And I think when it comes to, you know, this industry, you have to really stay true to the basics and what is science saying and what you believe in. Because if people hear it consistently and they can expect the same thing from you, which is the honest truth in what you believe in, they will trust you. It's the people who kind of jump all around that, you know, you kind of start to say, Hey, wait, last week you were talking about this. And that was the best thing there was. So that's what I found is people, they expect the consistency from me and they know that I believe in what I'm talking about. Karen Litzy:                   16:52                Yeah. So not jumping on the bandwagon every time something comes out, but rather look at it critically. Megan Rigby:                17:00                And not comparing yourself. I think that derails a lot of us is when we start to look at what other people are doing in the same field and we feel like we need to mimic that or we need to jump on that. And that can be very distracting too. Karen Litzy:                   17:20                But it's so hard. Megan Rigby:                17:24                It is so hard. I do my best actually not to follow a lot of people in my industry. I'll follow the people who I think provide me motivation, but if there's anyone who evokes jealousy, or you know, kind of gets under my skin, I figure that's negative, you know, vibes and I don't need that. So I really tried to just stay with the people who motivate me the most. I think social media should be a positive outlet. And it's so easy to make it negative. And I really tried to avoid that. Karen Litzy:                   17:58                Yes. As a matter of fact, I'm part of a Oxford debate in a couple of weeks at a physical therapy conference. And so the debate topic is social media and it is, we believe that social media can be hazardous to the profession of physical therapy. And you know, people will argue in favor of that and against that and that can easily go either way. But in the end it's a tool. It is a tool and it's not the tool, but it's the user. Megan Rigby:                18:36                It is. It's how we allow ourselves to use social media. No, I agree. I'm curious to hear how that goes. So I hope you will talk about that. Karen Litzy:                   18:48                I will talk about that. I'm curious to see how it goes to, I hope it goes well. I'm a little nervous about it, but I think it's supposed to be this like fun debate, like lively, fun and funny. But you still want to win the debate of course. So we'll see what happens. So is there anything else about kind of your entrepreneurial journey that you really want people to learn from? Megan Rigby:                19:13                I think starting small, and a lot of people when they tried to start a business feel like they have to dump a ton of money into it. And I've learned that you don't, with starting small and using the skills that you have, you're actually able to start a business that may, you know, not be as profitable as you want in the beginning with time you can reinvest that money you make back into it without taking up such a huge loan in the beginning, especially when it comes to the online type of business. I think there's so much that we can do on our own before we have to really start spending money. And I think that's something that, you know, a lot of new entrepreneurs who are wanting to go the online business, just have to remember that it doesn't take a ton of money to get up and going and get clients. It just takes, you know, the passion and the time and the knowledge. Karen Litzy:                   20:09                Yeah, absolutely. And I have one more question for you. The question that I ask everyone and that is knowing where you are now in your life and in your business, what advice would you give yourself, not to someone else, but what advice would you give to yourself at like the day you graduated and we'll say with your doctorate, why not? Because you’ve got like advanced degrees here. So let's go with the doctorate. What advice would you give to that gal? Megan Rigby:                20:40                Okay. My advice would be to not change anything, to enjoy the ride and kind of allow it to take you where it's going to take you. Because there are times that I wondered, you know, why was I where I was and what I was doing and it all led me here. So I think the biggest thing is enjoy the ride. So often we keep wishing the years away and if only I was here, if only I was there. But every step and every moment you have is leading you to where you really need to be. Karen Litzy:                   21:09                Very nice. It's like that sounded like from Game of Thrones and that's not a spoiler or anything for anyone listening. If you haven't seen the finale, it's not a spoiler, but that was very Bran like of you, it was great. Now where can people find you if they want to get in touch with you, if they want to work with you, they want to follow you. Where can they go? Megan Rigby:                21:36                Yeah. So on Instagram, I'm macro_mini. And then why a website is www.themacromini.com. Karen Litzy:                   21:47                Awesome. And just so in case you know, you don't have a pen and paper and you're not taking notes right now, like I am, you can go to podcast.healthywealthysmart.com. We'll have all the links, one click will take you right to all of Megan's info so that you can get to know her, like her, trust her, and work with her. So Megan, thank you so much for coming on and sharing your journey. I think it will give a lot of people in health care a bit of a boost, maybe a little kick in the butt too, and the confidence to go out and kind of do what you're doing. Megan Rigby:                22:23                Thank you. I appreciate that. And thank you so much for having me on. Karen Litzy:                   22:26                Yeah, my pleasure.

Meg  Burns is a large family mama (she’s got 4 kids), a serial entrepreneur and has a heart for seeing women thrive. In this episode you’ll hear: How Megan’s cause has changed, but calling has remained steady through the years. Why it’s so much harder to start an online shop now, than it was 5 years ago when Meg started hers. The thought process behind closing Meg’s online shop, even though the business was thriving on paper. Why Meg thinks it’s so important to actively choose love. Even when we feel lonely, we’re not alone. How Meg and I make work happen, as work at home moms. How to set boundaries and how to find boundaries. This episode is sponsored by my new program to get you set up for success for the Christmas Season, Delight In December. Click here to learn more.  Our big takeaways:   Cause and Calling are two different things.   Your calling is that thing you were born to do, that God put inside of you when he made you. It’s constant.  Our cause is how our calling shows up in our lives. And that might shift over time. It may have a season with a beginning, middle and end. But our calling remains steady.   Sometimes we have to end something so we can thrive in a new area. Megan closed her handmade shop, even though it looked “good” on paper. And in doing so she found freedom to thrive in a new project. That couldn’t really happen until she had the mental space she needed to just focus on one thing, selling Young Living essential oils. When she closed their online shop, her essential oils business exploded. The boundary lines are in pleasant places. The cool thing about boundaries is that we get to set them. Setting boundaries can be hard at first, but just like with any other muscle, the more you work it, the easier it gets.   Work at home mamas, decide how you’re going to manage your day and then do it!   Instead of scrolling on social media, use the spare minutes you have wisely. What can you get done in five minutes?   Links mentioned: Powersheets by Lara Casey The Best Yes by Lysa Turkhurst Biz Chix podcast Book of the Month   About our guest: Megan is a business owner, wife, mom to five, & currently living outside of Minneapolis.

Megan Reamer is the co-founder and CEO of Jackson's Honest, a healthy foods company. Megan and her husband Scott started Jackson's Honest as a way to share their son Jackson's story and the delicious snack foods they made for him. Jackson's Honest makes potato chips, tortilla chips and grain free puffs all cooked in organic coconut oil. Their son's autoimmune disease defined the types of foods he could eat and when they started addressing his disease through diet and nutrition in 2003, specifically a paleo and ketogenic diet, they couldn't find the foods they needed so they made them all from scratch. These delicious products were some of those foods. My main takeaway from my conversation with Megan was this idea of "Product-Channel Fit." It’s not something we talk about directly during the interview, but it’s something that is present in the way Megan has gone about marketing and selling her healthy snack food products. What I mean by Product-Channel Fit is that specific consumers want to purchase or buy from specific venders in specific ways. The environment and the ritual someone goes through to make a purchase has an impact on how the customer feels about said product - and it may be just as important, if not more important, to choose the right CHANNEL for your product as it is to ensure your story and branding and pricing are on point. For example, there are many food companies in the world. There are fewer, but still many, healthy food companies in the world. There are even fewer healthy SNACK food companies in the world. And those with their products on the shelves of Whole Foods can be counted in the dozens. So there’s less competition once you get onto the shelves of Whole Foods, and that's a big plus, but even more importantly: the type of people who shop at Whole Foods have channel-specific expectation of the products they purchase. The healthly, organic, anti-inflamatory message of Jackson’s Honest snack foods is a perfect match for this group of customers. In a nutshell, it would be hard to imagine what Jackson’s Honest would look like if Megan hadn’t adroitly positioned her products on the shelves of Whole Foods when they first got started. Now, of course, they have the positioning to expand into a broader range of stores, without losing that consistent, congruent brand and story - and that's exactly what Megan is planning for the future of her company. In this broadcast, Megan Reamer and I talk about: The painful yet inspirational true story of Megan's son, and how he inspired her to start Jackson's Honest. Why mission, purpose, and story are so important for a startup, and how Megan leveraged these to get a foothold in the food industry. How Megan bootstrapped Jackson's Honest from a small mountain town in Colorado. How Megan landed her products on the shelves of Whole Foods What it was like to be on Shark Tank and what that has meant for Jackson's Honest. How Megan is growing Jackson's Honest by focusing on customer demand and feedback. And much more.

Alderwomen Green, according to the website that bears her name, "first was elected in represent the 15th Ward in a Special Election in October of 2014 and was later re-elected in March of 2016." "Since assuming office, her bio continues, "Alderwoman Green has become the progressive champion of St. Louis, fighting for a $15 minimum wage, civilian oversight of our police department, reproductive rights for women, and responsible development with community benefits. She has been an outspoken supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement to address racial disparities that exist within the St. Louis Community, and nation. She also currently sits on the Continuum of Care to end homelessness in the St. Louis Region." Here's a glance at how the conversation went: Chapter 1. It can be scary, standing up to bullies. How Megan became an activist and politician. (0:00-7:30) Chapter 2. "What if we invested in the people who live here?" imagines Green. "We could grow the next fortune 500 company" instead of hoping to recruit a silver bullet company to come and save us. (7:30-12:15) Chapter 3. Green knows who got her elected and those are the same folks who hold her accountable in her quest to push for progressive policies.  (12:15-21:00) Chapter 4. "The power comes from us working together." Green discusses playing a role in elevating women and people of color in the St Louis political scene. (21:00-29:15) Chapter 5. A different look at crime. "Your budget is your values statement," says Green; she thinks we should be spending more to help people rather than criminalizing them. (29:15-39:00) Chapter 6. What makes young progressives tick? "We're about the work," explains Green in a closing conversation that covers the city-county merger, racial bridge building, theories of change, and a final look at what makes St Louis a great place to live. (39:00-48:30) You can also catch guest host Hank Thompson on the air Sunday nights at 6pm on 88.7 WSIE. You may have heard Hank chatting with an Andy during the course of the show - that would be Andy Heaslet, the show's engineer. *Wishing you well, DJ Wilson!*

You’ve seen them. Maybe you’ve even purchased one yourself. It’s hard to deny the prevalence and power of online courses. They’ve opened up an entirely new and effective way of learning for the digital age. But you may have the idea that only “experts” create online courses. Nothing could be further from the truth - and on this episode of Just The Tips, Megan Harrison tells us why anyone can and should create an online course. You’ll be surprised at the simple but powerful reasoning Megan uses to demonstrate why you (yes, YOU) have something inside you that others are dying to learn. Her advice is worth hearing and applying immediately because it could create a business and lifestyle you never thought possible. Does developing an online course sound intimidating? You need just in time learning. Lots of people who try to develop an online course on their own get bogged down in the details - and it’s understandable, there are tons of things to keep track of - from technical aspects of website building, to video creation, to curriculum development. But the amount of stuff you need to learn doesn’t have to overwhelm you. Megan Harrison says you can do it simply and powerfully through following the philosophy of “just in time learning.” Never heard of it? Megan describes it in an easy-to-understand way on this episode and I think you’ll agree, it’s the approach that makes course creation possible for anyone. Yes, anyone. Can anyone develop an online course? You may not think you are enough of an “expert” to create an online course. But you are. There is something you know or something you’ve experienced that others are scouring the internet to learn at this very moment. And what’s even more important is that some of those people are dying to hear that information presented through a perspective and personality just like yours. Really, it’s true. If you don’t believe me, listen to this conversation between Dean, myself, and Megan Harrison. She’s an online course creation specialist who has not only built her own successful courses but has also helped others do the same thing, in all kinds of niches and industries. Megan knows how to help you get your special knowledge out of your head and into a course. Don’t wait. This amazing woman can help you make the changes you’re wanting to make. The biggest benefit you provide by creating an online course is short-cutting the learning curve. Why do people buy online courses? Have you ever given the question much thought? Of course, they want to learn things, but more importantly, they want to learn things quickly. That’s why you should consider helping them do it. Your area of specialization or your experience is likely just the thing somebody out there is looking to learn, so why wouldn’t you take 6 weeks to create a course that shows them exactly how to do it in record time? Megan Harrison is our guest on this episode of Just The Tips and she explains the step by step recipe she uses to help others build successful online courses. You’ll learn a ton, so make the time to listen If someone has already done what you want to do, seek them out and learn from them. I hope you’re convinced that you have something to offer the world because you do. But you may not have a clue about how to make that offer effectively and profitably. What do you do if that’s the case? You learn from the people who have already accomplished what you want to accomplish. You follow their example. You do what they did to get to the place they are. Megan Harrison says that’s what she did to become an expert in the development of online courses and insists that anyone can do the same thing. The internet has a lot to offer - and much of it for free. Why not take advantage, put that big old brain of yours to work, and leverage your learning into something great?
