Life Notes is a voicenote style podcast for thoughtful people in the middle of figuring things out about themselves, their relationships, and what really matters. Hosted by Megan Marie, Life Notes offers short, honest reflections that feel more like a voice memo to a friend than a performance. These are the things that don’t make it to Instagram. The unfiltered thoughts, soft questions, and little bits of clarity that show up while brushing your teeth, walking to the coffee shop, or sitting in the sun. It’s for the ones who feel deeply, who overthink everything, who are learning to trust themselves again. For the ones outgrowing old versions of themselves and soft-launching new ones. For anyone craving a moment of quiet honesty in a loud world. There’s no theme music or polished advice. It's just a place to slow down and listen in. Always raw and always real.

    Behind the Business: The Stress Nobody Sees #46

    Today's episode is a little more spontaneous than usual. I sat down to record because I was feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and like I wasn't doing enough, even though, when I really looked at it, that wasn't fully true. I talk about how much we glamorize entrepreneurship and business ownership, what "panic working" looks like when you're spiraling, and how I brought myself back to what's important instead of chasing quick fixes or distractions. It's an honest look at what building a business really feels like and the normal response to stress.  Key Themes: Glamorization of entrepreneurship, business ownership, and content creation What panic working looks like and how to catch yourself doing it Separating what's real from what you're exaggerating when you're overwhelmed Refocusing on the few things that actually move the needle Knowing your own motivation, whether it's money, freedom, or creative fulfillment Why discipline comes easier when it's built around what you love Work With Me: My coaching practice is a space to look more closely at your own life, relationships, identity, health, sexuality, and the things you’re working through. My approach is integrative and deeply personal to you, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more clearly and create a life that feels aligned with who you are. I'd love to work with you! Reach out anytime to start a conversation.  Common Confidential: Common Confidential is my line of intimate wellness essentials created to make intimacy feel a little easier, slower, and more intentional. From our organic Massage Butter and Intimate Blanket to Confidential Mouth Tape, everything is designed around creating more space for connection, pleasure, rest, and presence.

    The Moments That Quietly Built Who You Are - Ep. 45

    This week I'm thinking about the memories that quietly shape who we become. The ones that keep resurfacing throughout our lives, for seemingly no reason. I share two of mine: a childhood summer memory that gave me an early, lasting sense of body confidence, and a moment that left me with a quieter message about curiosity and shame. I talk about why I think it's worth going back to our hardest memories on purpose, not to dwell, but to actually learn from them, and how the things we were curious about as kids so often point toward exactly who we grow up to become or what we should follow. Key Themes: The small, random memories that keep resurfacing, and what they might be telling us Some of my memories and the lasting message How childhood curiosity can point toward the work and passions we grow into Using memory as a tool for guidance, validation, or simply reflection Inner child work as a way to reconnect with what once made you happy Work With Me: My coaching practice is a space to look more closely at your own life, relationships, identity, health, sexuality, and the things you’re working through. My approach is integrative and deeply personal to you, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more clearly and create a life that feels aligned with who you are.

    Monthly Book Club No. 2 - Sunburn #44

    This month's book club pick is Sunburn, a coming-of-age story set in 1990s rural Ireland about a teenage girl discovering her queerness in a world where it doesn't feel accepted. The book brought up what it means to feel far away from yourself before you ever feel far from other people, why the intensity of first love doesn't have to be tied to age, and how family and community expectation quietly shape who we let ourselves become. It's a story about identity, sexuality, and self-discovery, but underneath it's really about the same question I keep coming back to lately: when do we follow love, and when do we choose the status quo instead. Key Themes: • This month's read, Sunburn, and what drew me to it • Discovering your identity in a place where the words for it are still taboo • The intensity of love • Choosing love against family, community, or religious expectation • Learning to see your parents as full people Work With Me: My coaching practice is a space to look more closely at your own life, relationships, identity, health, sexuality, and the things you’re working through. My approach is integrative and deeply personal to you, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more clearly and create a life that feels aligned with who you are.

    When to Follow Your Heart (and When to Let It Go) - Ep.43

    This week I'm sitting with a question I can't shake: when do you follow your heart, and when do you let it go? Between a Sunday morning walk, a hard therapy session, and a week spent noticing I found myself circling the same idea over and over. The conflict that can exist between what our heart desires and what family, religion, or expectation ask of us instead. As a lover myself I talk about why we can't stop telling ourselves tragic love stories and what it means to take my own self-care as seriously as I ask my clients to. Key Themes: The pull between following your heart and honoring expectation, family, or fear Why we're drawn to tragic love stories Taking therapy and self-care seriously as the foundation for doing meaningful work Making space for the small things you love before the season slips by What it really means to live fully  vulnerability, rawness, honesty, and courage and the ruthlessness of your heart Work With Me: My coaching practice is a space to look more closely at your own life, relationships, identity, health, sexuality, and the things you’re working through. My approach is integrative and deeply personal to you, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more clearly and create a life that feels aligned with who you are.

    How to Exercise Without Exhausting Yourself - Ep. 42

    How do you make exercise a consistent part of your life without feeling like it takes over your schedule or leaves you depleted? In this episode, I’m answering a listener question about finding the right balance between movement, energy, and everything else we have to do in a day. I talk about looking more closely at how we actually spend our time, choosing forms of exercise that support rather than exhaust us, and why sleep, nutrition, and recovery are all part of the conversation. It’s doing more, but about finding a realistic and efficient approach to movement that fits your life. Key Themes • Finding time for exercise in a busy schedule • Using a “reverse planner” to see where your time goes • Exercise should generally leave you feeling energized, not depleted • Why harder and more intense doesn't always mean better • Building a simple routine around walking, strength training, and mobility • Making movement fit into the life you already have • Why consistency and effectiveness matter more than quantity Work With Me: My coaching practice is a space to look more closely at your own life, relationships, identity, health, sexuality, and the things you’re working through. My approach is integrative and deeply personal to you, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more clearly and create a life that feels aligned with who you are.

    Authenticity: Not a Buzzword, but a Way of Living #41

    I think a lot about what it actually means to live authentically, especially when who you are today looks very different from who you were a few years ago. And in a space where authenticity has become a buzzword. This episode is really reflective of my own evolution, the experiences that have shaped me, and what it means to let those experiences become part of my wisdom. I also talk about a personal balance between vulnerability, privacy, what I share publicly and allowing what feels aligned to change as we change. How do we find balance to ensure the life we’re presenting to the world feels true to who we are now. Key Themes: • Letting your experiences change you instead of collecting them • Authenticity as something that evolves with you • Recognizing when something that once felt aligned no longer does • Balancing vulnerability, openness, and privacy • Finding meaning and wisdom in the things you’ve lived through • Looking honestly at where you may be holding back • Giving yourself permission to change your mind and become someone new Work With Me: My coaching practice is a space to look more closely at your own life, relationships, identity, health, sexuality, and the things you’re working through. My approach is integrative and deeply personal to you, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more clearly and create a life that feels aligned with who you are. I'd love to work with you!

    The Book Club I Wanted, So I Made It - Ep.40

    This episode is all about something I've quietly wanted to create for a long time and it's finally come to fruition. After a chaotic week and a reminder of how much I value slower, more reflective moments, it somehow felt like the right time to finally start. In this episode, I share why I’ve always been drawn to the idea of a book club, what I want this one to feel like, and how it’s really just an extension of the work I already do. I also introduce our first book, Fear of Flying, and talk through why it felt like the perfect place to start, with themes of becoming, curiosity, sexuality, self-discovery, and the tension between who we are and who we’re expected to be. This isn’t about reading for the sake of it. It’s about reading things that stay with you, shift something, inspire you to live bold and more truthfully and think about life a little differently.  Key Takeaways: The idea of book club as something inspiring, reflective, and shared Choosing books that encourage truth, honesty, and becoming Why Fear of Flying is the first book The tension between social expectations and self-trust Curiosity in sexuality and self-discovery Sponsored by: This episode is supported by my coaching practice. Reflection of understanding yourself, your patterns, your desires, and how you want to live is exactly the work I do with clients. If you’re in a season where you’re questioning things, wanting more, or just trying to come back to yourself, this is a space where we can work through that together in a way that’s personalized to you. You can reach out anytime to learn more about working together.   Connect: To connect with Me  follow @iammeganmarieee Shop My Intimate Wellness Product Line Common Confidential Book List For more writing and my Sunday Newsletter join my Substack Life Notes on Instagram Read More Articles on Common Confidential Shop my Amazon page HERE and my LTK page HERE Work With Me Book Club

    How to Actually Get Comfortable Being Alone - Ep. 39

    Spending time alone can feel peaceful and natural for some of us and truly uncomfortable for others. In this episode, I talk about what it actually looks like to build a relationship with your own company, especially if solitude feels intimidating or unfamiliar. It's not about jumping straight into solo trips or doing everything alone overnight. It’s about starting where you are, pushing yourself gently outside your comfort zone, and learning how to feel safe, confident, and even joyful in your own presence. I share practical ways to begin, how to move through the anxiety that can come up, and why learning to love your alone time is one of the most important ways to build a fuller life. Key Takeaways: Start where you are and build gradually Confidence in solitude comes from practice Fear around being alone is something you can work through Romanticizing your solo time can shift your entire experience Learning to enjoy your own company changes how you show up in every area of life Sponsored by: This episode is supported by my counseling practice. This is the kind of work I do with clients all the time. Helping you move through fear, build confidence, and create a life that actually feels like yours. Whether it’s learning to feel comfortable alone, navigating relationships, or reconnecting with yourself, our work is personalized to you and what you need most. If you’ve been feeling stuck in this area or know you want to grow but aren’t sure how to take the next step, you can reach out to me directly to learn more about working together.   Connect: To connect with Me  follow @iammeganmarieee Shop My Intimate Wellness Product Line Common Confidential Book List For more writing and my Sunday Newsletter join my Substack Life Notes on Instagram Read More Articles on Common Confidential Shop my Amazon page HERE and my LTK page HERE Work With Me Book Club
