289. Find Out Who You Are
What if one of the most important questions you'll ever answer isn't What should I do? but Who do I want to become? In this episode, Megan introduces a two-week series built around a simple but profound quote from Dolly Parton: "Find out who you are and do it on purpose."
This week focuses on the first half of that challenge—discovering who you are. Not just who you are today, but the woman you're becoming. If you've spent years responding to life's demands and taking care of everyone else, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Megan shares the powerful birthday reflection ritual she's practiced for more than a decade, along with practical questions you can begin asking today to gain clarity about your values, desires, strengths, and future self. Because living intentionally begins with knowing who you're becoming.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why so many women lose touch with who they are—and why it isn't a personal failure.
- The difference between discovering who you are today and uncovering who you're capable of becoming.
- Why clarity always comes before intentional action.
- How urgency keeps us from asking life's most important questions.
- Megan's annual birthday reflection ritual and why it's become one of her most transformative practices.
- Powerful self-reflection questions to help you reconnect with yourself.
- Why your potential already exists inside you—like an oak tree inside an acorn.
- How understanding yourself creates greater alignment, purpose, and fulfillment.
- Why sitting with unanswered questions is part of the discovery process.
- How this week's work prepares you to intentionally become that person next week.
The life you want to create starts with knowing the person you're creating it for. This episode is an invitation to slow down, ask deeper questions, and begin discovering the woman you were always meant to become.
