Your Spark Is the Secret Sauce

EPISODE 62:
What if passion isn’t something you stumble upon—but something you bring with you? In this episode, we’re flipping the script on what it means to “find your passion.” I share how I’ve come to understand that passion isn’t found in the work, the title, or the circumstance—it’s born from within. We often believe that others have more fun, more fulfillment, or more clarity because of what they do. But here’s the truth: perception isn’t the full story.

I dive into the idea that passion produces passion—and that we can create joy and energy in our lives by choosing to show up differently. From the quote, “My job is not fun—I’m a fun person,” we explore what it looks like to lead with our own spark and bring vibrancy to even the most mundane moments. Whether you’re feeling disconnected or just ready to tap back into your own fire, this episode is a loving reminder that you hold the power to make anything feel more alive.

After you listen, I’d love to know—what’s one way you can bring a little more fun, fire, or passion into your world this week? Tag me on Instagram or send a message and let’s celebrate how YOU show up and create your own spark. 🔥

Thank you for being here along side me with another episode of Taking Flight with Megan Holly! I hope today’s episode inspired you to embrace your boldest, most authentic self. If you’re ready to dive deeper into confidence, creativity, and growth, let’s connect!

Mind Your Words, Change Your World

EPISODE 61:
The Power of Words: What I Stopped Saying (and Why)
In this episode, we’re diving deep into something we often take for granted—our words. I’m sharing three specific words I’ve intentionally removed from my vocabulary and how doing so has shifted not just my mindset, but also how I communicate with others. Our language holds power—power to uplift or to weigh down, to close off or to open up meaningful connection.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, building a business, or simply talking to yourself in the mirror, the words you choose matter. I’ll walk you through how shifting your language can lighten your emotional load, foster clearer communication, and help you feel more empowered in everyday conversations. This episode is your loving reminder that what we say—to ourselves and others—creates the world we live in. Let’s choose it wisely.

Reframing Fear & Using it to Support Us

EPISODE 60:
Fear isn’t the enemy—it’s a messenger. In this episode, we’re flipping the script on fear and exploring how we can build a new relationship with it. Instead of letting fear paralyze us, what if we learned to harness it as a tool for growth, intuition, and momentum? I’ll share personal experiences of navigating fear, along with actionable ways to shift from avoidance to empowerment. Whether you’re facing a big decision, stepping outside your comfort zone, or just tired of fear holding you back, this conversation will help you reframe it into something that supports you instead of stopping you. Let’s turn fear into fuel and start moving boldly toward what we truly want!

Gaining Focus – Hacks for Productivity & ADHD

EPISODE 59:
In a world that moves a mile a minute, finding your focus can feel like chasing a moving target. In this episode, I share real-life tools and mindset shifts that have helped me reclaim my attention and power—like the simple but mighty timer cubes that keep me grounded and on task. But more than hacks, this conversation is about understanding how your brain works, giving yourself grace, and finding what actually supports you. Whether you’re juggling a million things or just trying to finish that one project, this is your invitation to slow down, focus in, and feel good doing it.
