In this episode, Megan shares a personal update about a major transition for Powerhouse Pageantry and what the future will look like for her coaching work. She reflects on identity shifts, seasons of growth, and how high achievers often struggle to release something good when they feel called into a new direction. Megan explains why alignment between identity and goals is essential, and how transitions can become powerful opportunities for expansion. You will hear about: Why identity shifts often require letting go of previous success How high achievers recognize when it is time for a transition The role of faith, clarity, and community during seasons of growth Why coaching and mentorship accelerate progress toward big goals What this change means for the future of Powerhouse Pageantry Megan also shares details about the final Pageant Academy cohort and how her work will evolve into high-performance and mindset coaching for ambitious women moving forward. This episode is both a celebration of the journey so far and an invitation to embrace the next season of growth.   [DOORS CLOSE APRIL 30] Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy [LAST CHANCE] Get Your Mastermind Event Ticket Here ➡️  https://howtowinyourpageant.com/event    Click here to access 25 Courses for $25

If you have ever spiraled into “maybe I'm not built for this” after another competition, this episode is for you. Megan walks through the most common mindset questions pageant contestants ask in private, the ones that quietly sabotage confidence, stage presence, and interview performance. She reframes placement as feedback, not a verdict, and explains why pageants amplify the identity you bring on stage. You will hear about: Why “Am I enough?” is an identity issue, not a pageant issue What judges can feel even when you are smiling How comparison, perfectionism, and approval seeking leak as tension Why confidence is built through self trust, not personality or pretending How to compete from grounded certainty, even if you do not win This episode is a reset for any contestant who feels invisible, doubts her potential, or fears doing everything right and still losing. The goal is not proving you are enough. It is becoming the kind of woman who already knows she is.   Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy   Get Your Mastermind Ticket Here ➡️  https://howtowinyourpageant.com/event    Click here to access 25 Courses for $25

Have you ever felt confident in practice but frozen on stage when it matters most? In this episode, Megan breaks down the psychology behind the “yips” in pageantry, those sudden mental blocks, confidence crashes, and performance breakdowns that affect even the highest achievers. Using real examples from elite performers in sports and music, she explains why trying harder often makes things worse, how anxiety loops are created in the brain, and what actually helps top performers regain control under pressure. You will learn: What the yips really are and why they happen in high performers Why overthinking and avoidance fuel stage anxiety How confidence and competence are neurologically connected Why internal state matters more than flawless execution How identity alignment restores consistency and presence This episode is for contestants who feel stuck in their head, afraid of slipping up, or exhausted from trying to be perfect. If you want to perform freely, confidently, and consistently on stage, this conversation will change how you approach pressure forever.

Why do some contestants keep placing but never win, even when they are prepared, polished, and hardworking? In this episode, Coach Megan explains why pageantry is not a merit-based system and why judges are responding less to effort and more to presence, confidence, and perception. She breaks down how over-preparing can actually hurt your performance, what judges feel instantly but rarely say out loud, and why internal alignment matters more than a perfect résumé in modern pageants. This episode is for contestants who want to understand what pageant judges are really looking for in 2026 and how to stop blending in when it matters most.   Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy Get Your Mastermind Ticket Here ➡️  https://howtowinyourpageant.com/event    Click here to access 25 Courses for $47

In this episode, Coach Megan Rhodes challenges a core belief in pageantry: that more polish, more perfection, and more rehearsed answers are what win. They are not. Judges in 2026 are fatigued. They have heard the same platforms, the same buzzwords, and the same scripted confidence. What they are actually looking for now is someone they trust to do the job. Megan unpacks what has quietly shifted behind the judging table, why performing is working against many high achievers, and how regulated presence, clarity, and authenticity are becoming the real differentiators. You will hear: Why starting prep without the end in mind is costing women crowns What long answers often signal to judges, even when you are qualified Why identity matters more than performance when it comes to being chosen How presence communicates trust faster than perfection ever could This conversation goes deeper than pageantry into leadership, self trust, and the hidden ceilings that keep capable women placing but not winning. Stay to the end for a special quarterly bonus Megan opens only a few times a year for women ready to break through what has been holding them back.   Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy Get Your Mastermind Ticket Here ➡️  https://howtowinyourpageant.com/event    Click here to access 25 Courses for $47

In this fireside-chat episode, Coach Megan sits down with two of Powerhouse Pageantry's standout success stories: Kirra McCarty (Idaho) and Gabriela “Gabby” Swift (Nebraska), current titleholders in the Miss America Organization teen program. You'll hear two completely different journeys: Kirra: a competitor who placed high early, faced loss and disappointment, then returned with a deeper faith and stronger identity. Gabby: a first-time competitor who stepped into pageantry late, went all-in, and won on her first try—while navigating body image struggles and major life challenges. They'll talk about what actually creates winners: identity, community, perseverance, and faith. What You'll Hear In This Episode How Kirra went from podcast listener → Pageant Academy → Mastermind → titleholder The heartbreak of losing, the fear of trying again, and the mindset shift that changed everything The unexpected “God timing” twist when the Miss America teen age rules changed—twice Why Gabby knew she couldn't DIY her prep: structure, reps, interviews, and staying grounded How Mastermind friendships created daily motivation and accountability during prep The truth about “sisterhood”: what it's actually like in a high-level competitive room Gabby's story of eating disorder recovery and why she shifted her CSI to match her real life Kirra's “if I lose, I can't show my face” fear—and the blunt coaching moment that freed her How both girls learned to balance authenticity + excellence (style, wardrobe, hair, makeup) What makes Powerhouse coaching different: personal strategy, faith-forward identity work, and becoming well-rounded   Get Your Mastermind Ticket Here ➡️  https://howtowinyourpageant.com/event    Connect with Kirra + Gabby Kirra: @kirradmccarty @kirramccartypageant @missamericasteenid Gabby: @gabriellagswift @missamericasteenne Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy   Click here to access 25 Courses for $47

In this special New Year episode, Megan brings on her husband Landon for a practical, faith-forward goal setting training originally taught inside their Tuesday morning Bible study. If you've ever started January motivated… then lost steam by day 5, day 30, or by Q2, this episode walks through why that happens and what to do instead—without spiraling into shame. In this episode, you'll learn: Why goals fail when they're disconnected from purpose + mission The difference between a goal (outcome) and your calling How to stop overthinking “God's will” and start moving with faith + wisdom Why derailment doesn't mean you missed God—it often means it's time to recalibrate A simple “daily recalibration” mindset that keeps you on track long past January The hard truth: some goals don't require faith… because they're too small The “10x is easier than 2x” concept and why big goals eliminate distractions Identity work: how internal beliefs quietly sabotage progress (even when you “know what to do”) A practical framework for rewiring self-sabotage using leverage, pattern interrupts, and new associations A biblical lens on mindset: taking thoughts captive and dismantling “strongholds” Join our weekly Bible Study: meganswansonrhodes.com/bible-study    Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy   Get Your Mastermind Ticket Here ➡️  https://howtowinyourpageant.com/event    Click here to access 25 Courses for $47

If small talk makes you want to crawl into a hole, this episode is your way out. In Part 2, Megan breaks down the TALK Method from Harvard professor Alison Wood Brooks' work: T = Topics (choose the right level for the room) A = Asking (better questions = better connection) L = Levity (how to use humor and warmth without being awkward) K = Kindness (how to make people feel safe, seen, and drawn to you) You'll learn how to move conversations from surface-level to meaningful without forcing it, how to stop sounding “beige” in pageant settings, and why authenticity is the real confidence hack. Plus… Megan shares a personal, million-dollar surprise and opens a few limited spots to work with her one-on-one in 2026.   Apply to Work with Us: sessions.powerhousepageantry.com/strategy Get Your Mastermind Ticket Here ➡️  https://howtowinyourpageant.com/event    Click here to access 25 Courses for $47

If the idea of small talk makes your stomach turn, you're definitely not alone. In this episode, Megan breaks down why small talk feels so draining, why it's often mislabeled as “social anxiety,” and the simple reframe that instantly lowers the pressure in any conversation. Drawing from research by Allison Wood Brooks, this conversation introduces a powerful framework for understanding how conversations actually work and why most people get stuck at the awkward surface-level. Megan also shares real-life examples from pageantry, dating, leadership, and business to show how mastering everyday conversations directly impacts confidence, likability, influence, and results. This is Part 1 of a two-part series and lays the foundation for why great communicators stand out everywhere, from interview rooms to first dates to boardrooms. If you've ever felt “forgettable,” anxious, or unsure how to move a conversation forward without oversharing, this episode will completely change how you see connection.

This week's episode is short, sweet, and packed with something brand new: a 25-day confidence challenge you can do all December — no cost, no catch. Megan breaks down why confidence isn't magic, why it has nothing to do with being born “that girl,” and how a simple daily rhythm can dramatically shift how you show up in interviews, on stage, and in the rest of your life. Inside the episode, she explains the heart behind this Christmas-season confidence countdown, how it blends identity, repetition, Scripture, and micro-action, and why she believes this tool will change the way you carry yourself long after pageant season is over. It's part mindset, part habit, part faith, and 100% designed to help you break old patterns and step into a new level of boldness.

This week, Megan is coming in buzzing with faith, momentum, and a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you finally stop white-knuckling your goals and start making success easier on yourself. Fresh off the Black Friday launch and a flood of new students, she unpacks the real reason so many women stay stuck even when they “know what to do”—and what shifts everything when you're ready to rise. If you've ever wondered why you stall out, self-sabotage, or feel blocked even when you're motivated, this episode opens the door to a new kind of strategy—one rooted in identity, alignment, spiritual clarity, and simple daily habits that compound into massive change. Expect to hear about: The mindset patterns that quietly make pageant prep (and life) harder than it needs to be Why belief, identity, and spiritual alignment matter just as much as talent and training How to create real momentum when you feel overwhelmed or “behind” The surprising link between your daily routines, your confidence, and your ability to win How community, clarity, and support shape your results more than you think This episode is part motivation, part mindset reset, part practical coaching—and it's the perfect listen if you're ready for your next level, but something in you keeps hesitating. Tune in before you map out the rest of your prep or set your 2026 goals. It might change the way you think about winning entirely.   Click here to access 25 Courses for $47

Have you ever walked away from a conversation and thought, “Why didn't I just say what I meant?” In this week's episode, Coach Megan gets real about the habit of over-editing yourself, why we do it, what it's costing us, and how to stop. Through practical mindset tools and biblical truth, Megan walks through how to build emotional intelligence, hear God's voice over your inner critic, and start speaking with discernment instead of fear. You'll learn how to tell the difference between criticism and loving correction, why anxiety runs rampant, and how your spiritual habits directly affect your confidence.

Most contestants don't lose because they aren't talented — they lose because they're walking in without a map. In this episode, Coach Megan breaks down the full journey from first-time competitor to national titleholder, revealing how clarity and strategy create the calm confidence that wins crowns. You'll learn how to think like a champion before you ever hit the stage, how to translate mindset into practical execution, and why self-image silently determines your scores long before the judges ever meet you. We'll also unpack the difference between guessing your way through preparation and building a proven system that makes success duplicatable.

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.

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!!!)

I interview Loralee about psychic stuff and things, and she offers me, and all of us, an energy healing technique that worked for me. This is a video podcast on Spotify. Thank you, Loralee! Want to know more about Loralee? "Physical complaints are the signs of a distortion in the energy flow within the person's energy field.Even though Albert Einstein stated that 'Future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies,' current traditional medical approaches actually corrupt and disrupt this further.The good news is that each of us has the ability to tap into and work with our energy system to correct those distortions and blockages of the flow. I'm going to teach you ways to tap into that ability." Loralee is a Licensed Spiritual Health Coach, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Certified Reiki Master, with special training in Meditation and Aromatherapy.  She is the creator of the Radiant Reset Program, releases stressed-out women so they can break free of deep-seated social conditioning and beliefs that keep them feeling stuck, fearful, and in poor health. For years Loralee struggled with emotional eating and digestive upsets as a result of deep-seated anxieties in her personal and professional life.  Her quest to find freedom from the pain led her to research from which she discovered the principles of natural healing, cleansing and detoxification, energy healing and holistic nutrition. Loralee brings these answers to other women so they can heal all of these issues and more by living in harmony with The Natural Laws of Health and being in alignment with their spiritually authentic self.  Often, these women also deal with gut issues and impaired digestion, brought on by stress-filled jobs and relationships (those they can ‘no longer stomach').  Loralee's process releases those jumbled emotions so they can finally find peace and relax their gut without wasting any more time, money, and energy on pills, diets and protocols that have not worked.  More about Loralee on her social media sites: Website:  https://livingwellwithloralee.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loralee-humpherys-4959b62b3/ FB  profile page: https://www.facebook.com/loralee.humpherys Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/NourishingEssentialsConsulting Twitter: https://x.com/LoraleeH46322 Loralee's Podcast - Essentials to Heal Yourself Podcast with Loralee Humpherys https://rss.com/podcasts/essentials-to-heal-yourself/ https://www.youtube.com/@essentialstohealyourself/ https://rumble.com/c/c-2367742

Michelle O'Connell's death in 2010 is shrouded in mystery to this day. She was found dead from a gunshot wound, and her death was initially ruled a suicide. Over time though, questions arose due to her troubled relationship with her boyfriend, Jeremy Banks, who was also a sheriff's deputy in St. Augustine, Florida. Despite evidence suggesting foul play, the case was closed, leaving her family frustrated and seeking justice. The case gained national attention as it raised concerns about law enforcement bias and the handling of domestic violence cases. Michelle's family continues to fight for a proper investigation, hoping to uncover the truth.  ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Domestic Abuse | Talk of Suicide | Gun Violence Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Check Out our Amazing Sponsors:  OneSkin: Get 15% off OneSkin with the code QUEENS at https://www.oneskin.co/ #oneskinpod Want More Ways to Support the Show?  Visit Our Amazon Storefront: Head over to killerqueenspodcast.com/links and scroll down to "Shop Our Style" or "Our Amazon Faves." Here, you'll find all the posts you can shop with our unique links to each item as well as our Amazon Storefront where we have lists like:  90's Finds (curated by Tori with all the best 90's stuff like tomagotchis and my little ponies) Back to School Must-Haves Gift Ideas for Kiddos that Tyrella loves Podcast Essentials (if you've ever wanted to start your own) and more!  Get Our First 44 Episodes Free: Want access to our first 45 episodes?

Serving as a sheriff's deputy in Martin County, Florida, Gerard Schaefer led a double life, portraying himself as a dedicated officer while secretly engaging in gruesome acts. Schaefer was convicted of the first degree murders of two young women, Susan Place and Georgia Jessup. Investigators suspect that Schaefer was responsible for as many as thirty murders from the late 60s to the early 70s before his arrest and eventual conviction. During his incarceration, Schaefer penned short stories depicting the abduction and murder of women, some of which contained chilling details correlating with women who had been reported missing or bodies that had been found, adding a disturbing layer to the already gruesome nature of his crimes.   **TRIGGER WARNING** Abduction | Kidnapping | Torture | Dismemberment | Murder with a weapon (Knife & Gun) | Rape | Animal Cruelty | Racism Hang with us: Follow Us on Instagram Like Us on Facebook Join our Case Discussion Group on Facebook Get Killer Queens Merch Bonus Episodes Check Out our Amazing Sponsors:  LolaVie: Get 15% off LolaVie with the code QUEENS at https://www.lolavie.com/QUEENS #lolaviepod Want More Ways to Support the Show?  Visit Our Amazon Storefront: Head over to killerqueenspodcast.com/links and scroll down to "Shop Our Style" or "Our Amazon Faves." Here, you'll find all the posts you can shop with our unique links to each item as well as our Amazon Storefront where we have lists like:  90's Finds (curated by Tori with all the best 90's stuff like tomagotchis and my little ponies) Back to School Must-Haves Gift Ideas for Kiddos that Tyrella loves Podcast Essentials (if you've ever wanted to start your own) and more!  Get Our First 44 Episodes Free: Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!
