31 Days of Showing Up
I’m doing a thing.
For the entire month of October, I’ve committed to participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge. That means one blog post. Every single day. For 31 days.
Yes, I know. I’m questioning my life choices a little bit too. 😂
But there’s a reason I said yes.
If you know my work, you probably know some of my titles. Speaker. Author. Coach. Thought leader. Entrepreneur. Authenticity Amplifier™.
But titles only tell you so much about a person.
I spend a lot of time talking about authenticity. About understanding who we are, getting clear about what we value, and making sure the way we actually live our lives aligns with those things.
And I realized something.
If I’m going to ask other people to show up authentically, I need to be willing to do the same.
So, that’s what I want these next 31 days to be about.
I want you to get to know ME.
Not just Megan the speaker. Or Megan the author. Or Megan the coach.
Megan the mom. Megan the foodie. Megan the woman who comes alive after everyone else goes to bed. Megan who has made some really great decisions and some spectacularly questionable ones. Megan who loves deeply, laughs loudly, asks a LOT of questions, and is still figuring some things out along the way.
Because that’s authenticity.
It isn’t a perfectly curated version of ourselves. It isn’t sharing only the pieces that look impressive on a website or fit nicely into a professional bio.
It’s allowing all the pieces to coexist.
Over the next 31 days, some posts will probably make you laugh. Some will make you think. Some may get a little vulnerable. And if I’m doing this right, a few might make you uncomfortable enough to stop and examine something differently.
I hope you’ll join me.
Not because I have 31 days of answers to give you.
But because I think we might have some pretty amazing conversations.
Here’s to showing up.
All of me.
I love this reminder that authenticity means allowing all the pieces of ourselves to coexist, not just the polished ones!
The Universe must be sending a lot of people the same sort of thoughts. For the past month my mom has been walking around the house muttering things about her “purpose” and “identity.”
As long as she remembers to feed me, I don’t care what she says.
Great post, we look forward to reading more.
As long as you’re fed and get lots of snuggles all is good, am I right? 🤪
Thank you for reading, Polly!
Omg, I love this Megan! Welcome to the Challenge, I’m excited to get to know you more. And I agree, it’s about allowing all the pieces of us to coexist. We are multifacted individuals and each part of us deserves to be visible. Very excited to see you’re a foodie too — I love cooking and trying new recipes! 1 day down, 30 more to go!
Thank you Danielle!
Got any recipes you think I should try?
I love a good challenge! I’ve done the Ultimate Blog Challenge and there’s something about committing to showing up every day that creates momentum. I especially love that you’re using these 31 days to let people get to know the person behind all the titles. Looking forward to following along!
Appreciate you following my -hopefully succesful- journey, Lisa!
Love this. With my track record i set the bar low trying reverse psychology on myself. Excited to see your post
Hahahah I feel that, my friend!
Thank you for reading 🥹
