EPISODE 69: In this tender and soul-stirring episode of Taking Flight, Megan shares how a childhood storybook, a beloved stuffed animal, and a deep belief in possibility sparked a lifelong understanding of manifestation. Through the tale of her first dog, Taz (who, yes, was visualized into her life with the help of a very well-loved copy of The Velveteen Rabbit), Megan explores how open-hearted imagination and small, intentional actions can turn dreams into reality. Spoiler: she may have manifested a job, too—and not just any job, but one she could vividly see herself thriving in before it ever existed.
But this episode goes far beyond visualization. Megan invites listeners to embrace the magic of being “real”—through acceptance, action, and a willingness to stay open even when life feels wobbly. Whether you’re curious about manifestation, skeptical but intrigued, or someone who’s always believed in the quiet power of childhood wonder, this episode wraps it all in love, laughter, and realness (with just the right amount of sass and sparkle).
First things first—don’t mind my gaze wandering aimlessly at the beginning of this episode (if you are watching on YouTube.) For a solid 2.5 minutes, I forgot where to look until my producer gently reminded me (ding!) and I was back in action. Consider it a real-time metaphor for how we all get a little lost sometimes until we’re reminded to come back to ourselves. 😅
In this episode of Taking Flight, we’re diving deep into the very real, very human experience of being seen—by others and by ourselves. We’re talking about the art of “numbing the nuances” in a positive, freeing way. From cringing at the sound of your own voice to analyzing your crows’ feet in every photo, I unpack how we can stop overanalyzing the little things and start embracing all our beautifully imperfect, ever-evolving selves. You’ll hear real talk about letting go of perfection, rewriting your inner narrative, and fully showing up—crows’ feet, silly dance moves, weird lighting and all. If you’ve ever felt like the loudest critic in the room is the one in your own head, this episode is your permission slip to quiet the noise and step into your full, radiant self.
