About Meghan

As a passionate change maker, parent of neurodivergent kids, and high achieving leader, I reached a point where I knew something had to change.  I was focused on creating inclusive and equitable spaces in education, but I constantly felt like I was hitting resistance and working against the current.  I was frustrated that the behaviors of other leaders that I worked with didn't match the organizational values that they talked about.  I was devastated about the unethical treatment of neurodivergent students and their families.  I didn't notice my fatigue at work because I was so hyperfocused on problem solving and leading change.  At night I would fall asleep instantly as my head hit the pillow, but then I would wake up in the middle of the night and my mind would race at night with ideas of how to fix the broken systems.  I felt guilty about the limited energy I had to be present with my family.  My body was too tight for an occasional massage to make a lasting impact.  I tried meditation, therapy, medication, and self care, but it all felt like more things added to my plate. Then I discovered my "Rainforest Mind" (term by Paula Prober). This lead to Dabrowski's research about the 5 intensities (overexcitabilities) and the theory of positive disintegration.  Everything changed.

​ I discovered that my exhaustion, frustration, and hopelessness was not because I had a mental illness. I just had unique needs that weren't met and was in an environment that conflicted with my values.  Stress had built up in my body over time.  I also discovered that I am multiply neurodivergent including a "superhearer" (Central Auditory Processing Disorder), an AuDHDer, a "rainforest mind" (Gifted), and a highly sensitive person (HSP).  Increasing my self awareness and discovering this transformational information led to a deep desire to educate and support others like me through my Tedx talk, speaking, and my transformational programs.

​

I became an entrepreneur to make an impact on the world while working the way I'm wired.  I craved autonomy and wanted to innovate in my area of interest. But I was so used to following a schedule that someone else had created that I didn't know where to start to design a routine and systems for myself that supported my executive function but still allowed freedom and flexibility. I wanted to grow and get more clients.  At first, I wasn't making the impact that I envisioned and I needed a financially sustainable business.  I signed up for several premium business coaching programs and found that I learned important concepts in each of them, but none of them were comprehensive or supported my learning in the way I needed it as a neurodivergent learner.  I also wanted to innovate and do business differently than the traditional approach.  I didn't want to use a high pressure sales tactics and wanted to do business in alignment with my values and integrity.  After countless hours of coaching and studying, I learned how to create a signature talk and program that feels authentic to me, develop automated systems  that integrate key business principles into my client journey, work with my intensities rather than against them, and design a routine and business for how I'm wired.

If you have received coaching to grow your business as an entrepreneur and it hasn't worked, you are not the problem. You simply have a different way of processing information and experiencing the world.  Understanding your intensities is the first step to creating a financially sustainable business for how you are wired to amplify your impact.
