Permission to Set Your Own Pace

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 03:00:00 -0500

This episode of Living Your Success explores the pervasive ideal that January 1st is the end all, be all of setting intentions, setting goals, and getting everything in place for the following year.

It seems like most leaders, entrepreneurs, and high achievers have embraced January 1st as though it's a magic reset button. Once it passes, you're expected to suddenly have all your shit together, pushing your way forward to begin making progress, and BIG things happen immediately. And it often feels like you are already behind the game if you don't follow this narrative.

Megan shares how this year, she did thing things a little differently this year, rolling into the new year slowly, intentionally grounding herself in how she wanted to feel, be, and experience things... and not forcing her way forward.

This episode serves as a reminder that however you rolled into the new year, wherever you are right now, and however you choose to move forward, you are doing great. Give yourself permission to set your own pace, to do things in the ways that feel right to you, and open yourself up to the unexpected ways that things could fall into place.

Taking Time for Deep Reflection

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 23:00:00 -0500

In this episode, host Megan Dias discusses how she's spent the last few days in hibernation mode, nursing her and her daughter through a round of fevers and coughs that created quite a beautiful segway into her holiday break.

It forced her to shift into her body, to relax and rest a bit sooner than planned, and created space and inspiration for deep reflection and visioning.

This isn't the typical annual review; this episode explores the power of noticing where you are NOW and remembering what life was like before. It's about taking time to acknowledge and appreciate what changes have taken place, what desires were present in those early days that have come true, and what desires have been released or have shifted.

It's about the good, the bad, and the in-between and being proud of whatever progress you have made.

Have you taken time to consider how far you've come? This is your reminder to set some time aside to reflect and to really dig into where you are RIGHT NOW.

Consider what it's taken to get there. Consider the struggles, the wins, the good, and the bad. Take the time to be with it all, to look at the BIG picture, lifetime revenue, lifelong goals, and overall vision. And also sit with the small steps, the little shifts, the tiny wins.

All of it is worth noticing. All of it is worth celebrating.

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0500

Ending Overwhelm with Boundaries

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 15:00:00 -0400

This episode digs into what can happen when you lack boundaries in your business and life. It discusses how society, social norms, and life experiences can create a system that pushes us toward cycles of serving and giving, leaving us drained with nothing left to give.

This is why it's important to establish and maintain your boundaries in order to thrive and live your success.

You see, boundaries are a way to choose you, to choose what's right for you, your life, your business, and wherever you are at this point in time.

They are a way of consciously creating a business and life that you can love and in which you can thrive. And any time you ignore your boundaries and move forward without establishing boundaries, you're actually hindering yourself. You're keeping yourself stuck and small because you're putting other people, other things, and others' needs before your own.

So if you know you struggle with boundaries, or if you...

Feel like you are constantly putting the needs and desires of others first, often to the detriment of yourself.
Are stuck in a cycle of overworking, over-delivering, and over-giving while simultaneously undervaluing and undercharging for your work.
Have a constant sense of overwhelm and exhaustion because you have a never-ending list of things to do.
Feel guilt tinged with fear whenever you are trying to prioritize yourself, or maybe you don't even consider prioritizing yourself.

This episode is for you! Give it a listen above.

And, if you are ready to get strong boundaries in place and take aligned action so your business can grow exponentially while you live a thriving life, my 1:1 container may be right for you. Book a free consult here.

We Aren't Meant to Do This on Our Own

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 03:00:00 -0400

This week on the Living Your Success podcast, we're talking about your team. The team of people that we all need by our side to help us deal with this whole experience of life, this experience of building our success, of living our success, and of building and growing a business.

The truth is, we aren't meant to do this on our own. But so often, we feel as though we are.

Whether we are just starting out on our own or already in the trenches and doing our thing, there comes the point where we feel alone, or like we are holding ALL the things ourselves.

This episode is here to remind you that it doesn't have to be this way... in fact, it shouldn't. You can build a team and have people by your side, supporting you, helping you when you need it, cheering you on, encouraging you, and celebrating with you!

From tapping into those that already care for you to starting to hire people to fill in where it's needed, building and cultivating your team is an essential step to living your success.

So take a listen and consider who is on your team and who do you still need for support.

And, if one of the people you want on your team is a coach and mentor who leads with her heart and has grown her own business to 6-figures while raising two kids and living a full and vibrant life... book a consult call with Megan here.

Recalibrating in Seasons of Transition

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Shifting from summer to fall is a transition of its own, but often this transition comes with back to school, changes in schedules, and a mountain of other changes that can throw even the best of us off course.

This episode explores how to navigate the transitions we encounter in life and in business by recalibrating and grounding ourselves in our priorities and values.

We discuss how these priorities and values can not only help us as we shift through the seasons of life and business but also how they can help you to FLOW between your work and your life in ways that are supportive.

Whether your journey is just beginning as a business owner, focusing on gaining momentum and obtaining your first clients, or looking to create more sustainability and expand your business, your priorities and values can serve as guiding lights on your path.

Go ahead and give this episode a listen and see how you can use your priorities to recalibrate the next time you're experiencing a season of transition.

Why a Growth Mindset Matters

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 13:00:00 -0400

This week on the Living Your Success Podcast, we're continuing the conversation around positive psychology, the science of living a thriving life.

We're digging into one of the foundational elements of positive psychology that can help you to live a successful life and build a successful business-- a growth mindset.

A growth mindset and a fixed mindset are the two terms coined by American psychologist and author Carol Dweck that are used to describe the underlying beliefs that somebody has about learning and intelligence.

In this episode, we dig into the difference between the two approaches, what it could look like to have a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset, and why it's so important to cultivate a growth mindset in yourself, your children, and even those around you.

If you ever have moments you feel like you've failed (we all do), challenges that feel too big, or opportunities you wonder if you are ready for... give this episode a listen.

Tapping into Your Character Strengths to Thrive

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Do you know your character strengths? Or even know what character strengths are?

In this episode, we explore how powerful it is to identify your character strengths-- the positive qualities and traits that impact how you think, feel and behave. And how you can begin to tap into them to help you thrive.

Character strengths are a core principle of positive psychology and were one of the first tools of self-discovery that positively influenced my life and my business.

The VIA Institute on character classifies 24 character strengths under six categories of universal virtues, no matter who you are. But they each show up in our lives in different ways and levels. Understanding how these strengths show up for you can help you handle stress, get through tough times, find meaning and purpose, become happier, build better relationships, feel more fulfilled, and so much more.

Go ahead and give this episode a listen to hear about some of my top strengths, how they've supported me, and how I've cultivated some of my lower strengths along my journey.

Celebrate by Appreciating the Good

Tue, 09 Aug 2022 11:00:00 -0400

This week we're talking about celebration as an act of appreciation, noticing the good and the importance of this, even when things aren't going exactly how you planned or want.

Tal Ben-Shahar, author and leader in positive psychology, says, "When you appreciate the good, the good appreciates."

And this episode explores the science behind this. Why it's so powerful to notice, appreciate and focus on the good... and why it's also one of the hardest things to do consistently.

In this episode, we explore truths about how the month of July went and discuss how shifting your focus and noticing the good can help to reframe and change the narrative of your experiences.

This is a powerful shift in how you reflect and celebrate and can make a HUGE difference in your life and your business... not as a way to ignore the challenges, struggles, and bumps you may face. But instead, as a way to acknowledge that both can exist.

This is a beautiful way to embody and live your success.

Building Self-trust On The Way To Success

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 03:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we explore one of the biggest challenges many business owners and entrepreneurs face as they build and grow their businesses.

It's not the strategy or the tactics or even coming up with offers and pricing. It's trusting yourself. It's the energetics related to trusting yourself that can propel your forward more rapidly than anything else because it allows you to make choices and do things that are right for you.

And the truth is, it's an ongoing challenge. It's an ongoing evolution--of developing a deeper level of trust along the journey.

But, often, when we first start our business, that sense of self-trust is so small and so hard to grasp, and you don't even understand the value of it. But, the more you build it, the more it will expand.

So, give the episode a listen, and learn the first step to BUILDING self-trust. It's a simple practice that anyone can do and will serve you across all facets of business and life.

The Business and Life Connection

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 04:00:00 -0400

This episode explores the relationship between your business and your life and how the two are interconnected.

While the motivation to begin a business often starts with something we want to change in our life, once we begin the path of entrepreneurship, we tend to forget about this connection. It's easy to focus on the strategies and tactics of building a business and ignore how the business and your role as the owner is affecting/playing out in your life.

But the reality is that things flow between your business and your life so easily. The challenges, struggles, ups, and downs are reflected and expanded across your lived experience of work and life.

So, as you build your business, your own well-being and ability to thrive depend on how you work, the foundation you put in place, and how you show up in your business and vice versa.

This is why your biz needs to be a VIBE and support your life. So it will support your:

Values and priorities
Intellectual engagement
Bank - building financial stability, sustainability & freedom
Energetic alignment & expansion

When you can align your business with you, supporting these areas, the magic begins, and your business and life will both benefit.

This episode digs into the success comparison trap... otherwise known as comparing your success to others. Now the truth is, we all have done it. But, often, comparing your success to anybody else's success can suck you into a hole that will leave you feeling lacking, unmotivated, and often stuck.

Defining Success to Change the Paradigm

Tue, 21 Jun 2022 04:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we discuss defining your version of success with the WHOLE picture in mind - a more holistic approach than what we’re taught about success. This is super important because to dismantle the systems that oppress, the ones that have taught of what success should look like… we NEED to acknowledge that the definition that exists DOES NOT WORK.

This is where the WHOLE picture of success comes into play — success isn’t about just one thing. Instead, success needs to be individualized. For us to live our success, it needs to be about each of us feeling the best we can, being the best versions of ourselves, and reflecting on the vision we each hold for our best lives.

Our entire approach to success needs to shift to expand on the current definition and create more paths that allow more people to live their success.

The Principles of Success

Tue, 14 Jun 2022 04:00:00 -0400

This episode explores the principles that can help guide how you define success.
Now, this is not the typical definition of success. This breaks through how the systems, the patriarchy, and even the dictionary have defined success and encourages you to approach success from a different perspective.

These principles don't actually define success for you. Instead, they empower you to begin to think of success with a broader vision, a deeper meaning, and in a way that makes it aligned and supportive of YOUR life.

This is your guide to defining what success looks like to you... because it's only when you get clear about your version of success that you can begin to LIVE YOUR SUCCESS.

Welcome to Living Your Success

Tue, 07 Jun 2022 03:00:00 -0400

This first episode of Living Your Success is designed to help set the stage to introduce you to your host, Megan Dias, tell you a little bit about her story, and really fill you in on how and why this podcast is here.

So many of us want to do something more, feel like we could do something more, and know deep down that there could be a different path to find success. And yet we hold back because we're told success means wealth, fame, money, achievements, and working hard. This definition of success and the path we are supposed to follow to achieve it has been built into the systems of our society, and we follow that path often, blindly, simply because that's all we know... that's all we're taught.

This episode explores a different vision of what success could look like... and begins the discussion of why it's important to define your version, one that is authentic to you so you can begin to live your success.
