87. Meg’s Big YES: Choosing Freedom, Family, and Work That Feels Right
It’s a familiar scene for so many mums — the laptop open, the emails never-ending, and your child sitting nearby, quietly playing, just wanting you.
That’s where Meg found herself one day — her daughter on the floor reading books, patiently waiting, while Meg tried to finish “just one more thing.” It was her day off, but it didn’t feel like one. The weight of responsibility sat heavy, the guilt of not being present pressed harder, and something inside her whispered, “This can’t be it.”
That whisper became Meg’s Big YES.
After years of building a career and following the rules of success, she realised those rules no longer fit. What she really wanted was time — real, unhurried, everyday time — to walk her daughter to school, have morning chats, say yes to excursions, and be available for the small moments that make childhood magic.
So she made a decision that actually became easy in the end: she left her job and said yes to becoming a full-time coach. It wasn’t a leap into ease — it was a leap into alignment.
In this conversation, Meg shares what it’s really like to let go of stability for presence, how she worked through the guilt of wanting more family time, and what redefining success looks like when you’re a mum who’s ready to do life differently.
This episode is a love letter to every woman sitting in that in-between — craving more of what matters, but not sure how to say yes to it yet.
