    The Power of Pause: Why Slowing Down Is the Key to More Energy, Presence, and Peace

    Hustle culture tells us to go faster. We chose to question that script and make a case for the tiny, powerful pauses that change everything—your choices, your energy, and your peace.  As a two-time burnout survivor and coach, Megan shares why slowing down is not a luxury but a strategy for high-achieving moms who want to thrive at work and home without the guilt. We dig into the Rockstar Framework—values and vision, mindset mastery, energy management, nervous system regulation, and community—and show how the practice of pause threads through every pillar. You’ll learn the difference between big pauses (therapy, coaching, journaling, weekly planning) and little pauses (thirty-second check-ins woven into your day), and how both create space to respond instead of react.  aThe heart of the method is simple and doable: ask three questions—How do I feel? What do I want? What do I need? This small sequence clears mental clutter, calms your nervous system, and makes the next step obvious. Megan shares a client stories and why learning to slow down can be so hard.  Plus a gift for you, especially for those who need some support slowing down or do best with some type of structure.  Download your free five-minute Release and Reset meditation at the following link and enjoy:  Free 5 Minute Release & Reset Meditation https://www.subscribepage.com/rrmeditation  If this episode resonates, subscribe, leave a quick review, and share the episode with a friend who’s ready to swap burnout for ease.

    Ditch the Quick Fixes: Build Lasting Fitness Habits with Megan Dahlman

    Ready to stop white-knuckling your workouts and start building strength that actually fits your life? We sit down with trainer Megan Dahlman to rethink fitness for midlife women who want results without burnout.  Instead of chasing another challenge or punishing routine, we focus on the moves and mindsets that last:  walking as a powerful baselinebodyweight strength for safe foundationand a practical path to lifting that supports hormones, joints, and long-term energy. Megan shares how she went from training pro athletes to helping women 40, 50, and 60+ feel strong, pain-free, and confident. The shift is simple and profound: capability doesn’t always equal capacity.  You might be able to do a 60-minute boot camp, but do you have the time, recovery, and stress bandwidth TODAY?  When you match the plan to your real capacity, consistency skyrockets. That’s where the “dial” comes in—on hard days you choose a five to ten-minute walk or a short core set; on better days you dial up to a focused strength session. No more on/off cycle, just steady momentum. You’ll learn why walking is seriously underrated and why strength training is the number one lever for longevity in perimenopause and menopause.  If you’re craving a routine that survives low-motivation days and actually feels good to keep, this conversation gives you the blueprint. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs sustainable strength, and leave a quick review—then tell us: what’s the first small step you’ll take today? **This interview was pre-recorded as part of The ROCKSTAR Mom Virtual Event, Season 1 in March 2025** Learn more about Megan Dahlman at: https://www.vigeofit.com/ https://www.instagram.com/megandahlman/ We’d love to hear your feedback!
