In this Wednesday in the Wild episode, Megan shares a vulnerable, real-time look at what it’s like to move through a hard week — not because of what’s happening externally, but because of what’s happening inside her head.

She opens up about anxiety, future-tripping, discouragement, shame, and the mental spirals that can take over when emotions feel reactive and overwhelming. Rather than bypassing those feelings, Megan walks through how she’s actively working through them — staying in motion without forcing herself to “be positive” or rush the process.

At the heart of the episode is a powerful concept Megan calls anchoring truths — deeply held beliefs that act like a seatbelt when life feels like a multi-rollover crash. When everything feels chaotic, these truths keep you grounded, stable, and moving forward, even when the road is rough.

Using the metaphor of driving through a storm, Megan explains how intentionally choosing supportive truths can stop mental spirals, shift perspective, and restore a sense of safety and momentum — without denying reality or emotion.

You’ll learn:

  • Why hard weeks often live more in our thoughts than in reality

  • How emotions become overwhelming when we stay stuck in reaction

  • The difference between feeling something and choosing to stay there

  • What “anchoring truths” are — and why they matter

  • How beliefs shape what your brain looks for as evidence

  • Why unsupportive truths keep you stuck in fear and expectation

  • How to choose beliefs that stabilize you during chaos

  • What to reach for when you feel like you’re about to spiral

This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to eliminate the storm to keep going. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is buckle in, hold onto what you know is true, and trust yourself to drive through it.
