Her goal then (and now) was simple: be a positive voice for women, remind them to take care of themselves, and help them expand what they believe is possible. Since those early episodes, life has grown in the best ways. Meagan welcomed a third baby and opened her own Pilates studio in her town, which just celebrated its two-year anniversary. In a world that often feels chaotic and loud, her mission remains the same: to hype you up, encourage you, and remind you that you\u2019re capable of more than you think. This episode centers around one powerful theme: creating opportunity instead of waiting for it. Meagan walks through her journey, from childhood dreams of working in Boston radio, to building a corporate career in mutual funds, landing a job at KISS 108, making the leap to New York radio, and choosing Equinox despite people warning her it was a \u201cresume killer.\u201d That leap opened doors to roles at Rue La La and eventually being recruited by Yahoo. All the while, she was building her fitness career on the side, completing teacher training while working full-time, launching coaching programs, creating an on-demand platform during COVID (while pregnant and sick), and eventually opening her own studio after noticing a gap in her local community. She shares openly that she didn\u2019t have industry connections or family financial backing. What did she have? A willingness to bet on herself, over and over again. Setbacks weren\u2019t failures; they were lessons. Meagan also gives a few current updates: the studio is thriving, she\u2019s planning another retreat, teasing a new upcoming initiative, and has partnered with Atmosphera, a female-founded, climate-specific skincare company she genuinely loves. If you\u2019re curious, she invites you to reach out (no pressure at all) and mentions she\u2019ll include a link in the show notes!&amp;nbsp; She wraps up by sharing that she now has a team helping edit the podcast, with a goal of releasing episodes twice a month.
