In this episode, Megan shares a question that hit her out of nowhere — one she realized wasn’t just for her, but for anyone who knows they’re capable of more: Where are you holding back, and why?
What starts as a quiet internal nudge turns into a powerful reframe on fear, risk, and the unseen cost of not trying. We tend to obsess over the risks of taking action — failing, being judged, looking foolish — while completely ignoring the risks of staying the same. And the truth is, both sides come with a price. Only one leads to growth.
Through real-life examples — from parenting to friendships to personal dreams — Megan explores how the fear of risk keeps us small, and how zooming out helps us see the bigger picture: trying risks failure, but never trying guarantees it.
You’ll learn:
- Why “playing it safe” is actually the riskiest choice of all
- How to recognize the hidden cost of staying the same
- Why fear feels bigger when you’re only looking at one side of the story
- The difference between reacting to life and intentionally building it
- How to tell whether your risk is protecting you — or limiting you
- Why regret is most often tied to what we didn’t do, not what we tried and failed at
This episode is a mirror and a catalyst — a reminder that the version of you you’re becoming can only emerge when you’re willing to step into the unknown. Growth is never risk-free… but neither is standing still.
