Worth It with Megan Taylor

A special interview with my client Tali - who is a brilliant engineer at a tech startup company. This episode has extra commentary from me as your coach so you can see what I'm thinking about as she shares her transformation story. We focused on transforming 3 key areas:

Upgrade her Career & Impact: Tali wanted to make a bigger impact at her work, but was feeling depleted & bogged down by so many tasks. She didn't have time to work on the big projects she wanted to get done, and as much as she wanted to get work done within set hours, she could *not* seem to turn her working brain off in the evenings. She would find herself scrolling social media in the morning and dragging her feet to get to work. Tali needed to stop being so reactive to being helpful to everyone around her, get back in control of her time, and step into leadership. She rose up and in 3 months she set boundaries & started working on key impactful projects became the sought after expert, got loads of support from people wanting to be on her team, and got a raise.

Upgrade her Life & Well-Being - Tali worked hard for her career success - and she craved a bold beautiful pleasureful life to match. Tali had a bunch of things she wanted to do but wasn't pulling the trigger on - mostly because she was *tired*, she wasn't prioritizing herself and she was being hard on herself (as many of my clients are) - including feeling self consciousness about her body. We got to the root of that pattern and she started going to the gym again, feeling strong in her body, and dancing for fun & personal expression vs for perfection. She got bold and booked a flight and airbnbs to go work in Germany for a couple months! So fun. And as she allowed herself to pursue more pleasure in life, her energy became so juicy, relaxed and magnetic that she started receiving loads of fun invites on her social calendar.

Upgrade her Love Life - Tali really wanted to be in long term partnership again (and eventually marriage and a family), but it felt really far away from where she was - because she didn't know where to meet the kind of man she wanted and also because she felt like she needed to lose weight first. She hadn't been on a date in over a year, and was worried about choosing wrong, and having the relationship fizzle out, or her family not being impressed by her choice in partner. She wanted a real relationship with a deep connection that contains both intimacy and freedom - and one where she could be her soft nourishing feminine self but also a successful, active, smart woman. We worked on her patterns and she started feeling radiant, confident and actually beautiful again. Within a couple months she broke her 1 year dry spell and not only did she start dating again, but this time rather than her doing the pursuing, men were pursuing her, planning fun dates & the whole experience felt "way lighter" than before.

Listen & Learn:
- Why you need to stop looking over your shoulder to your family for approval
- What it means to be differentiated within your family system - and why its necessary to create a career, a life & a romantic partnership that you love.
- How to bring value through who you're being vs what you're doing
- How to get back into dating when you've been on a dry spell (hint: You don't need to lose weight or drop 1K on getting professional photos taken)
- How to date like a Grown @ss Woman (hint: it's about looking for more than chiseled abs and jaw lines)
- Strong Women looking for Love- You need to stop telling men what to do if you want them to take the lead and make plans with you - and what to do instead.  
- How as a coach I use the hobby you're most obsessed with to help you make shifts the fun way (if you're not into journaling, meditation, etc).
- How partner dancing can help you rewire your nervous system to feel safe with men, surrendering control, trust, self expression and leadership.

Meet my client Dr. Athena Lorin Hall - Pediatrician, Founder of ZNA Health Network, powerful speaker and burlesque performance dancer. You’re going to love this episode if you know you're meant to make a bigger impact through your work - but you're a rule follower, have challenges with speaking up and owning your power or shrink to the background when you know you're here to be big, bold, visible, disrupt the norm & make waves in your industry. Athena is proof of how fast things can change.

Athena hired me because she wanted to help change healthcare systems that were causing harm downstream to mothers/babies. Without the right leadership skills she felt complicit in a system that didn’t align to her values. She wanted to have more passion for her work again, but she felt sluggish and didn’t have the energy or mental capacity to do so. She knew she needed to stop acting small when deep down her true vibe is Big & Powerful. She also wanted to add structure to better manage her time as a busy professional & hit her goals without another month going by. Together, we cleaned up her power as a leader and as a woman, and - in her words - she got on "her road to freedom". This is her story.

Listen & Learn:
- What Athena saw happening at hospitals in Rwanda and Seattle that sparked her mission to revolutionize healthcare & launch ZNA Healthcare.
- What was blocking her from the fulfillment she wanted in her career, her long term romantic relationship and her spiritual journey - and how it was all interrelated.
- How Athena commanded the stage at her first burlesque show - and liberated her visibility, voice & self expression as a woman
- Why so many healthcare workers (social workers, physicians, nurses, technicians) struggle with burnout & what’s missing for them.

What do you do when you’re ready for next level everything in business, relationships, life and vitality? What do you do when you’ve already done lots of personal development, you’ve been around the block in business, and you’re overworking, overthinking, feeling depleted, and you’re still not getting the results you want? You're a successful high performance woman, you're here for a life of integrity and what you need is permission to dream & to have it all. You’ve built success by the book & now you’re ready to break the rules and stop being such a good girl.
Women ask -
Can I have babies and do business/have big success at work?
Can I be married in a traditional style relationship and feel supported at home and still boss people around at the same time?
Men have the same stuff they’re trying to get through.

This was a powerful, potent, intimate conversation with my mentor transformational coach Craig Gore - about what the real work is that gets you everything that you want. This is an intimate view on the work I’ve been working on - which is why I have what I have.

I stopped pushing and cultivated my virtues
Started going on more vacations (I love to travel!)
Got more energy
Clients renewed for 12 months & new clients came - who were hungry for doing the real work, invest long term, pay in full
I 3x-ed my revenue
I let go of a relationship that wasn't the right match for where I was going
My Health Improved
I started glowing again
In my second year I found the love of my life

Listen & Learn:
- How I finally cleared brain fog & disconnection from my business
- Why you need to stop holding your Womanhood back from your professional world - and how it’s the secret sauce to your success.
- Why you let your past hold you back
- The most common hypervigilence responses of high performers - overworking, perfectionism, too much structure planning & strategy, being a good girl/boy.
- Why I started hard-lining my high performer clients to focus on what’s really holding them back and fixing the feeling before trying to do business, make $ or be in a relationship (to get out of fear & addiction).
- Why you need to give up being a high achiever to have quantum leaps in your performance.
