Your Soul Already Knows: Letting Go, Leaning In, and Listening to Yourself
In this enlightening episode, Dr. Nigma Talib sits down with acclaimed meditation teacher and bestselling author Megan Monahan to explore the deeper layers of inner wisdom, self-trust, and spiritual healing. Megan, a Chopra-certified Vedic meditation teacher and author of Don't Hate, Meditate!, shares her journey from church music director to soul-centered guide, breaking down what it really means to live from intuition—not insecurity.
Together, they unpack the myths around meditation, the difference between “knowing” and “fixing,” and why healing isn’t always about doing more. Megan opens up about personal transformation, navigating fear, creating boundaries, and surrendering to divine timing—all while holding space for humor, honesty, and heart.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your inner guidance, this episode is your invitation to slow down and listen. Because, as Megan says, “Your soul already knows.”
