After experiencing burnout twice herself and coaching hundreds of women, Megan now helps women get off autopilot and out of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the endless chase for “balance.” Through coaching, retreats, and speaking, she empowers women to take back their power and discover their inner Rockstar. Megan blends deep work with dance parties - she believes FUN is an integral part of growth and healing. She lives in Oregon with her husband and three energetic kids and loves sunsets, matcha lattes, selfies, and rocking out to P!nk.

    Ep57: A different way to care for parents with Alzheimer's

    “When we get Alzheimer’s… walk away.” That’s what her mother told her—there was nothing to be done, so why sacrifice your life? But Marilyn Raichle chose a different path. In this moving conversation, Marilyn shares how growing up surrounded by Alzheimer’s shaped her views on caregiving, and how supporting both of her parents through dementia transformed her from reluctant caregiver to someone who found unexpected joy and connection in the journey. We talk about shifting from seeing people as “suffering from” dementia to truly living with it—and how creativity, presence, and small moments can bring meaning even in hard seasons. Marilyn also shares how her mother’s artistic awakening inspired her work celebrating the creativity and dignity of those living with dementia. This episode is a gentle, powerful reminder: even in the most difficult chapters, there can still be beauty, purpose, and deep connection.

    Ep53: Anthony Palmini on Voicing Beloved Romance Characters | Behind the Scenes

    Ever wondered what it’s like to voice some of your favorite romance characters like Rhysand of ACOTAR and Kingfisher from Quicksilver? Here’s the inside scoop because I had the pleasure of chatting with Anthony Palmini. In our discussion, he shared how his journey began with acting and led him to discover the world of voiceover. It’s fascinating to hear how he prepares for hours in the booth, balancing character voices and the emotional depth needed for each role.Want to know how he handles the pressure of playing such popular characters? Or the hilarious moments when he reads spicy lines? Trust me, you’ll want to listen to the entire episode for those gems! Anthony Palmini has been an audiobook narrator for several years and has had leading roles in very popular book series including A Court of Thorns and Roses series as Rhysand and as Kingfisher in the Quicksilver Series. Bringing these powerful, lead male characters to life is just one of the many ranges he provides as he can also voice a variety of characters ranging from serious dark broody characters to fun youthful larger than life characters. His background as a improv comedy stage actor, video editor/director and music composer helps him in not only to stay sharp and deliver any kind of performance needed for a project but also how to work with people behind the scenes and communicate on what is needed on the technical end. His narration style can be causal and funny to powerful and dramatic depending on what tone is required from the story being told. Always inspired by great storytellers not just in audiobooks but in all genres of entertainment, he aims to make sure the listener is engaged and entertained.
