Ep 6: Why the First 10 Minutes of Your Morning Shape Your Entire Day

What if the first 10 minutes of your morning are quietly shaping your entire day?
In this episode, Megan shares why your nervous system—not your to-do list—is setting the tone for how you feel, think, and move through life. You’ll learn how stress becomes your body’s “normal,” why calm can feel uncomfortable at first, and how a simple morning reset can shift your energy for the rest of the day.
No long meditations. No complicated routines. Just practical tools to help your body feel safe, grounded, and calm—starting the moment you wake up.
✨ In this episode:
Why your brain scans for danger within seconds of waking
How the first 10 minutes of your day repeat themselves
Why checking your phone first fuels anxiety and cortisol
A simple breath + intention practice to reset your nervous system
How small shifts create big changes in how you experience life
If your body is craving more calm and less noise, this episode is for you.

Ep 5: The 4 Seconds That Control Your Entire Day + How to Make It Work For You

Ever wake up already feeling behind, tense, or overwhelmed — before the day even begins?
In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening in your brain during the first four seconds after you wake up — and how your nervous system has been running the show without you even realizing it (and how to change it!).
You’ll learn why stress isn’t a personal failure, why you can’t think your way into calm, and the simple physical resets that teach your body how to feel safe again.
This episode is for you if you:• Feel anxious for “no reason.”• Live in go-go-go mode and crash at night• Want more peace without changing your whole life• Are tired of hustle culture and earning rest

Ep 4: Breath Break - The Chill Pill Your Nervous System’s Been Waiting For

Ever feel like your body is in full fight-or-flight mode… over an email?
In this mini Breath Break episode, I’m breaking down the nervous system in a way that’s actually easy (and kind of fun) to understand — no boring science lesson required. We’re talking:
• Why stress today feels like a saber-toothed tiger to your body• The “chill pill” part of your nervous system (aka your built-in calm button)• Why you can’t think your way into calm — but you can breathe your way there• A simple candle breathing practice you can use anywhere (yes, even in the grocery store line)
This is meditation for people who can’t meditate — quick, practical, and something you’ll actually use in real life.
Take a few minutes with me, flicker that candle breath, and let your shoulders drop.
BYOB — bring your own beliefs.Happy breathing, y’all!

Ep 3: Building Millions By Using Your Inner Moral Compass w/ Nannette Stangle-Castor

In today’s episode, I sit down with someone who has deeply shaped the way I think about success, leadership, and integrity - one of my mentors, Nannette Stangle-Castor.
What I love about this conversation is that while we talk on this podcast about breath, spiritual energy, and inner alignment, this episode shows what that can look like in real life without any spiritual language at all.
This is a conversation about values. About listening to yourself. About choosing integrity for career, family, and life, even when it’s hard, and how it changes everything. 
Nannette's story is proof that you don’t have to be spiritual to live aligned. You just have to be willing to lead with honesty, clarity, and heart.

Ep 2: Plot Twist: Why I'm Rebranding (and Where We're Going Next)

I knew the sale of the fishing business was coming for a while, so I braced myself for change. In my head, I wasn't going to stop talking about Partners of Commercial Fishermen. But deep down, I knew there would be a shift, and I was nervous about what that would look like. I had no idea how significant that shift would be. 
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of that big shift, why it made me look at business differently, and how to connect with ourselves (and infinite possibilities!), so when the next path is laid out before us, we can trust it, one step at a time, even when we don't know what's next.
