Why changing my mind feels like changing a tire on the side of the road at 3:57am and it's freezing out and I don't know what I'm doing and motherf*ck me!!!
Two things we should do more often: refer to ourselves as wenches (it's my fave self-slur) and change our minds. Changing your mind is so stigmatised, but it's how we grow! It's how we move forward as people! It's something I do all the time too which is perhaps why I'm validating it so much!
Yes, yes, yes!!! 🙏 Wench is SUCH great self-slur lol and I am going to channel this "change-mind-often" attitude!!! Not going to lie, I've got a LOT of catching up to do. 🥲
I can't believe your Ireland trip has come around already!!! HOW EXCITING!!!!! If I was around I would absolutely love to come and meet you, I'm in London for the next couple of weeks but wishing you THE BEST TIME!!!! Plus when you meet the new Irish love of your life at the match making festival and elope to Ireland to live happily ever after, we can hang all the time 🤣🤣🤣 (putting it out there into the universe) Safe travels!!!!! 🤍🤍🤍 PS I'm only a message away if you need any help translating those Irish chat up lines...
I know right?! Next week, EEEEK!!! Thank you SO much!! 🥰🥰 And um... Universe I am SO OPEN TO THAT!!! 👀✨💅 Sad our travels won't connect this time, but London sounds LOVELY!!!! And I will definitely message you if I need some Irish-ism help! 🙏😂😍
Damn, woman I don't know how I found your writing but..DAMN! Have you read Ash Ambirge's book, "The Middle Finger Project?" I swear you're her fucking twin. That book saved my life. And your words do too.
YOU COMPARED ME TO THE QUEEN ASH AMBRIGE!!!!!! 😱 I am not worthy Omg I absolutely ADORE Ash and devoured her book, too!!!! Thank you SO much for making my day, and for being here! 💛💛💛💛
I am jealous because while you are across the pond, I just found out I am acting lead for the week at work because instead of 4people, I have 1on FMLA and another on vacation, which means only 2 people to cover our 12 hour shifts….meaning only 1person when the other finally gets to take a break.
Oh my god, I lost it not a minute into reading it. Criminals think this before the Criminal. Your stalling was fucking fabulous, I read it holding my breath I think 😅
In all seriousness though, it's great you are doing what you know is best for you, even though it can be terrifying.
This struck more than a chord with me, I dare say it struck an internal, shit what's the giant violin things, a cello ? Maybe.
But that.
I hope you have the BEST time in Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
You do what you need to do for you. Just like you're reminding us. I think I can speak for a lot of people and say we won't be relieved you're not in our inbox as much but we respect it and want you to do what you need to. Nor are we gonna lose interest or anything.
You're a hilarious, intelligent, strong woman, you deserve to change your mind. Well you have the right to but I mean to be happy. Enhoy your trip lovely 💛💚🇮🇪
😂😂 It brings me so much joy that what I think is funny, is enjoyed by more than just me!!! 🥹 "Criminals think before they criminal" 🤣🤣 still gets me hahaha.
Omg, striking a cello cord, now THAT'S awesome! 🫶
Thank you SO much for these well wishes and kinds words, they are FELT in my heart and I am so excited to carry all of this amazing energy into Ireland!! 🥰🥰🥰
I'm crushed. Can I survive with just one newsletter a week? You've just uncompleted me! But don't worry, I'll take up heroin to fill the empty newsletter in my heart. Enjoy Ireland and please tell Bono I said hello.
So. Fucking. Proud of you!!!!! I too have wondered how you managed 2 posts a week. Technically I do 2 but Tuesdays are cheat days lol the podcast requires way less work 🤣
Your essay, Megan, is a powerful reminder that growth isn't a straight line; it's more like a winding path with unexpected twists and turns. Your honesty about your own struggles with pivoting resonated deeply with me. I, too, have often found myself clinging to familiar paths out of fear of the unknown. But your words have inspired me to embrace the discomfort of change and trust that my intuition will guide me toward the path that's truly meant for me. Thank you for the gentle nudge toward self-discovery!
Great piece. So important to change, swerve, pivot. So hard to actually do it. I am proper regimented with stuff so when I have ti change direction it's like a massive bloody oil tanker doing a 180 degree turn in the ocean! Slow
YAY to recognising what you need and PUBLICLY changing path, however hard 🥳🥳🥳🥳 jokes aside, it does take courage and courage is contagious - I'm sure you're helping others do what is right for them, which has got to be worth the icky squirmy feelings right?! X
Atta girl, Megan! Mind-Changing is apparently one of my superpowers. I kept wondering how you kept up with the 2x weekly plus posts.
You'll be happy to know that yours is the ONLY long email I read slowly and completely.
Enjoy Ireland. Travel safe and take oodles of photos.
Be sure to engage in some shameful activities along the way 😂
🤗🤗🤗 Heart = SMILING! 😍
And I aspire to get on your mind-changing superpower level!!! 👏👏
Hahaha thank you, I shall do my best to engage in some shameful activities!! 🙏😂😂
I can hardly wait to hear 🤗🤗🤗

Woah... I LOVE this so much...! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙏

Good to know your limits.
Good to take time off.
Great to have such a wonderful place to visit.
Let us all know how it goes when you get back,
Hugs, Diana
Thank you!!! ☘️😄🙏 And sending YOU a hug and super strength this week!!!! And I hope you can get some much needed time off, too! 💛💛
