Essential listening for women ready to stop performing transformation and start living it.

What if the courage to change your entire life starts with how you spend the first thirty minutes of your morning? In this conversation, Meghan sits down with her friend of 18 years, Catherine Farquharson—a former photographer turned leading mindset coach—to explore why brilliant women stay stuck even when they know what needs to change.

Catherine reveals why positive affirmations without aligned feeling are just bypassing, and the devotional discipline of showing up for yourself first. This isn't about grand gestures—it's about building the self-trust that makes courageous pivots possible.

Because the thing about changing your life? It actually changes your life.
