    234. RE: Your Storage Unit

In this episode, Megan shares a truth she’s seen over and over again: the people doing incredible things rarely see how incredible they are. After being told (again), “I don’t know how you do that,” in reference to publishing this podcast, Megan reflects on how often we minimize our own gifts while admiring everyone else’s. What feels natural to you — what feels obvious, easy, or “just what I do” — is often your potential in plain sight. Through stories of friends, conversations, and her own journey with the podcast, Megan explores why we downplay our abilities, why fear feels louder than calling, and why your contribution matters more than you think. You’ll learn: Why what feels easy or natural to you isn’t common — it’s a clue How we downplay our gifts because we live with ourselves every day The difference between fear-focused thinking and impact-focused thinking Why someone else doing “the same thing” doesn’t replace you How shifting your focus from your inadequacy to your impact changes everything Why your potential isn’t missing — it’s waiting to be claimed The truth about calling: if it’s yours, you’re already equipped for it This episode is a reminder that your potential isn’t hypothetical — it’s personal. And the world doesn’t just need the thing done. It needs it done by you. From Impossible to Inevitable is now Breakthrough Mode. We're shifting out of cruise control and into Breakthrough Mode!

    233. Changing the Laundry, Changing My Mind

    Join my email list HERE!Follow me on Instagram @bauer.ftwYou can WATCH this episode on YouTube HERE!  You can find the podcast website HERE!   In this Wednesday in the Wild episode, Megan shares a deeply personal moment of heartbreak — the kind that comes when you pour your heart, effort, and hope into something, only to have it fall short. Fully expecting to follow her familiar pattern of shutting down and retreating to bed for days, Megan instead found herself sitting on the laundry room floor, crying and asking herself a different question: What am I believing about this? What she discovered changed everything. This episode is a powerful, real-time look at how our beliefs — not the events themselves — shape our emotional experience, our actions, and ultimately our trajectory. Megan walks through how questioning her own interpretations opened the door to possibility, helped her change her actions, and prevented a spiral she knew all too well. You’ll learn: Why the most painful part of disappointment is often the meaning we assign to it How your beliefs — not the event itself — are what drive your emotional response The two simple questions that can interrupt a downward spiral in real time Why events themselves are neutral, even when they feel deeply personal How quickly challenging your interpretations can shift your trajectory Why you don’t have to feel better to start moving forward How small, intentional actions can help you climb out of emotional setbacks This episode is both permission and empowerment: disappointment doesn’t have the power to stop you — unless you decide it does.

Join my email list HERE!Follow me on Instagram @bauer.ftwYou can WATCH this episode on YouTube HERE!  You can find the podcast website HERE! In this episode, Megan shares how a simple conversation about teaching habits led to a much deeper realization: real change doesn’t start with checklists — it starts with who you’re becoming. What began as a discussion about “doing the right things” turned into a powerful reflection on identity, intention, and the kind of person you are choosing to be every day. Megan explains why habits built on willpower alone often fall apart — and how shifting your focus to becoming the next version of yourself changes everything. Using her own journey with building a morning routine, Megan walks you through the difference between forcing habits through discipline and creating habits that feel natural because they align with who you are becoming. This episode is an invitation to stop going through the motions and start living on purpose — one intentional habit at a time. In this episode, we explore: Why checklists don’t create lasting change The hidden link between habits and identity How willpower and discipline eventually burn you out What it means to act from your “next-level” self Why habits stick when they become part of who you are How intention transforms everyday routines Using habits as a bridge to becoming who you’re meant to be Lasting habits don’t come from forcing yourself — they come from becoming the person who lives them naturally.

Join my email list HERE!Follow me on Instagram @bauer.ftwYou can WATCH this episode on YouTube HERE!  You can find the podcast website HERE! In this Wednesday in the Wild episode, Megan invites you to rethink a word most of us use every day without questioning it: priority. Sharing the surprising history of the word and how it was never meant to be plural, Megan explores why having “too many priorities” often leads to confusion, overwhelm, and diluted focus. When everything feels important, it becomes harder to know what actually deserves your time, energy, and attention. Through practical examples, she explains how clarity around your true priority can simplify decisions, reduce mental fatigue, and help you live more intentionally. This episode is a reminder that focus isn’t about doing more — it’s about choosing what matters most. In this episode, we explore: Why “priorities” were never meant to be plural How competing priorities create confusion and burnout The difference between being busy and being focused How clarity makes decision-making easier Why knowing your top priority protects your energy Choosing what truly matters in each season of life When you know what matters most, your decisions become simpler, clearer, and more aligned.

Join my email list HERE!Follow me on Instagram @bauer.ftwYou can WATCH this episode on YouTube HERE!  You can find the podcast website HERE! In this episode, Megan shares a small moment that revealed something powerful: what you choose to do when no one is watching is what shapes who you become. After waking up early and believing her alarm hadn’t gone off, Megan found herself in a quiet internal negotiation — a moment where she could easily stay in bed and no one would ever know. Instead, she chose to follow through. What seemed insignificant on the surface became a reminder that integrity, identity, and growth are built in private. Through this story, Megan explores why consistency isn’t about willpower or external validation — it’s about becoming the kind of person who follows through because it matters to you. In this episode, we explore: Why small, unseen choices shape your identity The difference between “trying” and truly becoming How habits change you — even when no one notices Why external validation can’t be your motivation How integrity is built in quiet moments Choosing who you’re becoming at everyday crossroads Every choice you make — especially the ones no one sees — is shaping the person you are becoming.
