In this episode of Becoming is Messy, we’re diving into one of the most transformative mindset shifts—learning to value life’s lessons, even when they’re messy (especially when they’re messy).

Continuing our journey through the Imperfect LEVEL UP System, we explore the power of reframing every challenge, heartbreak, and misstep as part of your personal curriculum. What if life isn’t happening to you, but for you? What if every gut-wrenching experience is actually a lesson nudging you toward your best life?

Meghann gets deeply personal in this episode, sharing intimate, life-altering experiences that shattered her perception of love, self-worth, and courage—ultimately leading her to the moment she finally chose freedom over fear. We’ll talk about:

✨ How to recognize and learn from the patterns in your life ✨ Why struggle, conflict, and mistakes are not the enemy—they’re fuel for growth ✨ The pivotal moment that made Meghann say: Never again will I settle for anything less than this

And of course, we’ll set the stage for next week’s episode, where we’ll explore Embracing the Magic of the Universe—because yes, those gut feelings, weird coincidences, and serendipitous moments? They mean something.

Your hardest lessons hold your greatest rewards. Your rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s a beginning.

Let’s unpack it all together.

Your inner critic? Yeah, it’s time to fire them. No severance package, no farewell party—just a swift and decisive “You’re done here.”

In this episode of Becoming is Messy, we’re diving into the first letter of the Imperfect LEVEL UP system: L – Let Your Inner Voice Lead. But before we can trust that inner wisdom, we have to understand why trauma survivors struggle with self-trust in the first place. Spoiler alert: It’s not your fault.

We’ll break down the science of self-doubt, unpack why trauma rewires our brains to be way too hard on ourselves, and explore data-backed tools to start quieting the noise and reconnecting with our intuition. Plus, we’re wrapping up with a simple, guided breathing exercise to help you find stillness—and hear what your inner wisdom has to say.

So grab your coffee, tea, or comfort snack of choice, and let’s get into it!

👉 In this episode, we cover: ✔️ Why trauma survivors struggle to trust their instincts (science-backed insights) ✔️ How your inner critic became way too loud—and why it’s time to fire them ✔️ Tools to reconnect with your deepest knowing (meditation, movement, journaling & more) ✔️ A simple breathing exercise to help you find stillness and tune into your inner wisdom

🎧 Listen now and let’s start turning down the volume on self-doubt.
