A Lucky Life: A Self Discovery & Improvement Podcast Megan Lucky

We all want to be confident but rarely do we want to pay the price for the real version... spoiler alert: Self Love. Instead of prioritizing true love and acceptance of ourselves, we fixate on external validation and outcomes, causing our self-belief to waver. That's where self-love steps in. We talk about the distinction between self love and confidence and how we can create more of both in all areas of life like decision making, love and dating, public speaking, at your job, in sports and more.

We all go through hard things, and we all feel stuck or trapped sometimes... this episode is for those times. I walk you through my steps of how to reframe your mindset from "Why is this happening to me" to "Why is this happening for me" so that we can feel more empowered in our challenging circumstances. We don't have to go from zero to a hundred in order to change our lives. It's more about believing better is possible than it is actually making all the changes to have better in the moment. We can't control the future but we can control our reactions and beliefs. Don't let your negative thought loops drag you around and control you, learn how to control it by being aware of its patterns and learning of to shift them for the better.

Meet Rachel, my work bestie and a woman who does it all. I absolutely love her and am so glad to get to share some of her and her amazing wisdom with you guys this week. We talk about how to navigate change and being open to different outcomes that we once had in mind. We also talk conflict in friendships and how to deal with them, as well as advice for long term relationships and being a creative in a corporate world.

This week I have a conversation with Ammar Assad Head Coach and Mentor for Rob Dial. We discuss some pertinent topics like common relationship blocks, self sabotage, leaning into authenticity and discomfort, and how to know when something isn't working and how to change it. Powerful tips and perspective from a mentor who has personally helped so many (myself included) grow into themselves and out of their shells.

This week we get into the topic of core values, and we go deep. We define what values actually are, discuss why it's important to identify, reevaluate and check in with them every so often, then tell you how to do just that. If you aren't satisfied with how you're living your life or where its going, tend to get easily distracted, or have trouble making decisions, then this podcast episode is for you!

Sometimes life sucks and we don't talk about it enough. This week my planned episode got foiled by an audio failure so I pivoted and decided to talk about the real hard stuff I'm feeling instead in my pajamas on my bed after a hard day/week/month. There are no how-to's, nuggets of positivity and motivation, or life hacks in this episode. Just pure raw real life on how sometimes it's really hard to get back on the horse when you've fallen off, and how no one talks about these parts of the journey as much as they should because it is a normal part of life that many of us go through alone.
