Hey friend! Welcome to The Megan May Podcast. If you've been hanging out in your comfort zone, I hate to break it to you... but your lease is up. This season is all about getting uncomfortable because I believe your biggest growth, your deepest purpose, and the life you're meant to live are usually found on the other side of what's familiar. We're diving into conversations that will challenge you, stretch you, and encourage you to step into who you were created to be. We'll talk about faith, purpose, marriage, motherhood, wellness, personal growth, and what it really looks like to say yes to what God has for your life. So whether you're driving to work, folding laundry, out on a walk, or hiding in your pantry for five minutes of peace, I'm so glad you're here. I'm Megan, and this is Season 4 of The Megan May Podcast. Let's get uncomfortable.

    4 Years of Being an Adoptive Mom: The Beauty, Complexity & What I've Learned

    Four years into our adoption journey, I'm reflecting on what being an adoptive mom has taught me so far. In this episode, I share how adoption is both beautiful and complex and how we navigate both right now. I also talk about the realities of trauma and loss that are often part of adoption, and why it's so important to hold space for that. I share why I believe "to be clear is to be kind" when talking with our daughter about her story. Our children deserve honest, age-appropriate answers because honesty builds trust. My hope is that she always knows she can ask questions, share her feelings, and come to us with curiosity as she grows. Whether you're an adoptive parent, connected to adoption in some way, or simply want to better understand the complexities of adoption, I hope this conversation encourages you in the most amazing ways.

    Why Every Woman Needs Her Own Kind of Porch to Sit In

    From the moment we moved into our farmhouse, I knew one of my favorite places would be our sunporch. But I also knew that with a full life, I would never end up there by accident. If I wanted to enjoy it, dream in it, pray in it, or simply be still in it, I would have to intentionally make time for it. In this episode, I'm sharing why I believe we all need a space like that. A place where we can slow down enough to hear our own thoughts, sit in gratitude, dream big dreams, work through not-so-great ideas, pray, and simply be present. Maybe your "porch" is an actual porch. Maybe it's a cozy chair in the corner of your home, your garden, or even your car before you head inside. Whatever it is, I believe those quiet, intentional moments matter more than we realize. Some of life's biggest ideas, deepest peace, and greatest clarity are often waiting for us in the places we're too busy to sit. This episode is an invitation to find your porch and make time for it.

    My Heart Sank Giving Our 15-Year-Old a Phone

    In this episode, I'm sharing the emotions behind finally giving our daughter her first phone after waiting as long as we felt was right. While she was excited, I couldn't help but feel the weight of what this little device represents. It opens the door to a whole new world, one full of opportunities, but also new challenges, conversations, boundaries, and responsibilities. I'm talking about the bittersweet emotions that come with watching our kids grow up, why we chose this season to say yes, and the intentional steps we're taking to help her navigate technology with wisdom. From setting expectations and creating healthy habits to staying connected as a family, this isn't just about giving her a phone; it's about parenting through a whole new stage. If you're raising tweens or teens and wondering when the right time is, or you're already navigating the digital world with your kids, I hope this conversation encourages you and reminds you that you're not alone.

    Finding Peace in Who My Dad Is

    This Father's Day felt different for me. In this episode, I get really raw and honest about my relationship with my dad. For much of my life, I carried disappointment because he wasn't able to give me what I needed from him. But he was my dad, and there wasn't another one I could turn to. So I grew up wishing for a different relationship than the one we actually had. What shifted for me this Father's Day was realizing something important: my dad is genuinely happy with the life he's built. He does what he wants to do, lives the way he wants to live, and has become exactly who he is. For a long time, I measured our relationship against what I wished it could be. But I've started to understand that my expectations weren't always aligned with what he was actually capable of giving. Just because I needed more doesn't automatically mean he failed me or that he was wrong. That doesn't erase my needs, my hurt, or my disappointment. Those things were real. But I'm beginning to accept that he could only give from the emotional capacity he had. And strangely, that acceptance has brought me peace. This episode is about letting go of the relationship I hoped for, appreciating the reality of the one I have, and finding freedom in accepting my father for who he is, not who I wanted him to be.

    We're All Weird: Understanding Your Wiring for Better Wellness

    When we think about wellness, we usually focus on the basics: sleep, exercise, nutrition, and supplements. Those things matter, but they're not the whole story. In this episode, I explore another essential aspect of well-being: understanding how you're wired. What regulates you? What dysregulates you? Why do you respond the way you do under stress? What patterns, habits, and coping mechanisms show up when life gets challenging? I'll share some of my own "weird" tendencies and the lessons I've learned from paying attention to them. Because the truth is, we're all weird. We all have unique ways of thinking, feeling, reacting, and navigating the world. The more we understand our wiring, the more grace we can have for ourselves, the better we can support our nervous systems, and the more intentional we can be in our choices. Wellness isn't just about what you do. It's also about understanding who you are. To follow more of me, head on over to Instagram @youmatterbymegan

    Where I Have Been Placing My Identity Lately, And What I'm Doing About It

    In this episode, I get very real and raw about how I've been feeling about myself lately. I've been spending a lot of time in my own head. I wanted to share this because I hope it reminds you that I'm not perfect, nor do I strive to be. Just like anyone else, I have very real and very human battles that go on in my mind. My hope is that by being honest about my own struggles, it helps someone else feel less alone in theirs. Maybe this episode will encourage you to look at the battles you're facing, identify what's really going on, and decide what you're going to do about it moving forward. We all face challenges internally. The question is: once we recognize them, what comes next? To follow more of me, head on over to Instagram @youmatterbymegan

    Being Complacent Is Easy, But Is It Good?

    We often become the biggest supporters of other people's dreams. We encourage them, celebrate their wins, and remind them of their potential. Yet many of us hesitate to take the same risks in our own lives. Complacency feels safe because it doesn't require growth, failure, or uncertainty. But some of the most fulfilling moments in life come from attempting things we once thought were impossible. Whether it's building a business, changing careers, improving our health, or pursuing a passion, the reward isn't just the outcome; it's proving to ourselves that we're capable of more than we imagined.
