Meg here, mama of 4, five and under, passionate business owner, dedicated wife & friend.
I began teaching fitness classes in '05, started my 1st business, Petrichor Planning, in '17. After giving birth to my first daughter in '18, I decided to leave my 6 year digital marketing career & as fate would have it, in my pursuit to leave I was led back to fitness & purchased Pure Barre in '19. I'm here, sharing my experience in leadership, entrepreneurship, relationships, wellness & motherhood, as I continue to learn how to find a way to do it all & figure out the best solutions to get it all done.
Episode 33- It's a lovely time to make time for your family, by taking care of yourself first
Today I'm talking about creating intentional space for family time starts with making intentional time for you.
We get caught up in the lie that if we don't spend all of this time with our kids that we are some how less of a parent
The shift in mothers going to work out of the home
Through lived experiences that we were able to look at our traumas holistically and recognize the patterns than needed to change.
I see this in more of my mothers mothers generation, where it was still fairly uncommon for women to work outside of the home and very much shamed if actually done.
The reality of raising kids today being "busier"
The "expectancy" to get ALL of these things done with limited time as working moms
Identify major pain points and solve those solutions first. Write it out and really work through the cost associated and it's worth to your family unit.
Your husband can help! Michael and I are excited for an upcoming episode about this exact point, so more to come on how your partner is not "helping you out" he's doing his part & you should not feel guilty.
Be honest and forth coming about your needs and expectations
Ultimately, avoid busy-ness and make time for things that matter to you
- Taco Tuesday & game night
- 1:1 dates with each kid
Create routines and habits that will help you to make life a little easier
For example, pizza on Tuesdays because Michael works late
Sunday set to review the calendar for the week ahead and do our marriage journal

Episode 31- It's a lovely time to find your definition of success
Today I'm talking about how your definition of success, where it comes from and how to define it so that you're headed in a clear direction
- chatting about the definition of success we learn as a child
- what our parents think of us or what we perceive based on the language used
- how to overcome some of those stories we've told ourselves, good or bad if it doesn't align with what actually brings you joy
- my dad telling me college isn't the path for everyone and "releasing me" from that lie I told myself
- Therapy helping me understand what those "lies" really were as I had come to believe them as my truths
- social media or negative work culture "keeping up with the jones"
- how to get clear and aligned with who you are, what you want and how having what you want makes you feel this takes time in stillness, meditation, pause and reflection
- lifestyle entrepreneurs goal is to have a have a quality of life vs a growth entrepreneurs
