Do you desire a deeper, more fulfilled life spiritually, mentally, and professionally, without the dreaded + seemingly never-ending “motivated vs totally burned out” cycle? Do you desire to know Jesus at a deeper level, want Christ-centered goals in line with His will for you, but don’t know where to start or who to trust? Do you want to learn the REAL things that will help you reach your next BIG goal in pageants, work, or your relationships? Do you want to finally conquer the inner-monster inside of you and step into your most confident, courageous self? God wants you to be even holier, happier, healthier, hotter, and wealthier than you have even allowed yourself to dream of! (According to Ephesians 3:20; 3 John 1:2) What do I call this woman?

    Why Winning Won't Solve Your Insecurities

    What actually solves insecurity? Why does working harder not seem to actually fix the comparison that I feel when I walk into big rooms? Why did I think that reaching this goal or this achievement was going to make me feel better about myself? And then it didn't.   In today's episode of the Powerhouse Podcast, Coach Megan delves deep into the heart of insecurity, examining why achieving success and working harder often fail to eliminate self-doubt and comparison. She discusses the different ways insecurity can manifest, from shyness to overconfidence. Sharing personal experiences, including struggles with an eating disorder and a mental breakdown, she explores practical steps to address and overcome insecurities and discusses the impact of faith and surrendering to God in transforming one's identity and achieving long-term inner peace. Listen now to learn how to build genuine confidence and gain emotional resilience.   00:00 Introduction: Tackling Insecurity 00:30 Understanding Insecurity 01:28 Personal High School Experience 02:46 The Root of Insecurity 03:09 The STEER Framework 05:38 Analyzing Triggers and Thoughts 06:29 Winning Doesn't Solve Insecurity 08:10 The Illusion of Success 09:40 True Fulfillment Beyond Achievements 10:28 Powerhouse Pageantry's Approach 11:50 Surrendering to God 12:13 The Power of Decree 13:15 Practical Steps for Healing 14:20 The Role of the Holy Spirit 17:01 Closing Prayer and Final Thoughts   MASTERMIND 2025 https://mastermind.powerhousepageantry.com   Grab our BRAND NEW FREE PAGEANT COURSE: powerhousepageantry.com/freecourse    Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3nbUVyQqfT5CLYSZO6wWgs?si=abf5437f5e5c413b   Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-powerhouse-podcast-how-to-win-your-pageant-how-to/id1448191693  READY TO BE YOUR BEST SELF?

    Find Yourself Before the Pageant

    Are you chasing a crown or are you running from yourself? What if I told you the crown that you're competing for will never validate who you are as a person? Before the judges ever say yes to you, have you said yes to yourself? Are you ready to find yourself before you compete?   In this episode of the Powerhouse Podcast, Coach Megan discusses the importance of finding and embracing your true self before competing in pageants. She emphasizes that winning a crown does not validate you as a person but reveals the confidence you already possess. Listen to her practical tips on defining core values, embracing imperfection, and fostering self-confidence through spiritual practices to find yourself BEFORE your pageant!   Quotes:   0:16       “   The crown does not create confidence. It reveals it. ”   7:18       “  Before the judges say yes to you, you have to learn to say yes to yourself. ”   15:52     “ The stage is a chance to showcase who I am. Not a tool to define who I am. ”   MASTERMIND 2025 https://mastermind.powerhousepageantry.com   Grab our BRAND NEW FREE PAGEANT COURSE: powerhousepageantry.com/freecourse  READY TO BE YOUR BEST SELF?
