Love your unique brain.
Do world-changing things.
Your imposter syndrome is just the natural consequence of centuries of systemized sexism, racism, classism, and other biases playing out in your life.
Every microaggression…every executive you see that doesn’t look like you…every piece of vague feedback you’ve gotten about deficits in your “leadership” qualities…every one of these things reinforces the message that You. Don’t. Belong.
The blunt honest truth is that unless you’re a white, cisgender, heterosexual, male-identifying, wealthy, Western, moderate, neutrotypical, healthy person, you’re spending a lot of time and energy proving yourself.
What if you could instead inhabit a world where we see the things society tells us are “bad” or “suboptimal”, and rather than trying to change ourselves to conform to some boring norm, we tell society to f*** off?
What if we fully embraced all of our weird, messy, complicated differences instead of rejecting them?
What if we designed our lives and careers and businesses around all of our quirks and illnesses and neurodiversity?
To quote Liz Lemon: “I want to go to there.”
Hi, I’m Meg!
I worked in the tech industry for over a decade and until recently, I doubted everything about my success, my identity, and my place in the world.
By nearly every conventional measure, I was successful. I worked for impressive companies. Hiring managers competed for my attention. I made six figures. Aspiring researchers would reach out every day asking for mentorship.
The reality? I was on a never-ending emotional rollercoaster, subject to the whimsical/twisted sense of humor of our universe. I was getting ALL my self-esteem from everyone else. I have ADHD and spending eight hours in an office was destroying my soul.
Some days, if I nailed a killer presentation or completed a challenging user interview, I’d be on top of the world. Then, the next day, my boss would question my value as a researcher, and I’d spiral into frustrated misery.
I felt like she was saying I wasn’t enough. And worse, I believed it.
It took my entire life becoming an active garbage fire for me to figure shit out.
Seriously…within a single year, I got divorced, lost two of my beloved pet bunnies, experienced two sexual assaults, nearly got evicted, and switched jobs. 2016-2017 was bad times, y’all.
Even just showing up to the office each day felt like pushing a boulder up Mount Everest.
I KNEW something was wrong with my insides. I tried multiple therapists who never seemed to do much beyond give me a diagnosis and some pills.
I wanted someone who could relate to my constant self-doubt.
I wanted someone who could help me learn to trust myself and own my unique brand of awesome.
Most of all, I wanted someone who would grab my hand and pull me up, every time my brain wanted to drag me down into the fiery chasm from whence I came (I’m tight with the Balrogs).
Four years later, I love who I am.
My life is AWESOME.
Now, I’m a full-time coach for people who want to liberate themselves from internalized oppression and create a life that aligns with their values.
My life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, but it’s pretty damn close.
I adore what I do. My ADHD brain loves being an entrepreneur and seeing my clients’ lives become more fun.
Bonus? I spend less time working and make more money than I ever did working for someone else.
And my coaching is helping people do cool shit like dismantle the patriarchy and fight for inclusion…NBD.
If this sounds like something you want for yourself, schedule a free consult below.
Cool shit my clients have done recently.
Spoken up for inclusivity
One client pushed to change the hiring practices of his team at a top tech company to require BIPOC and women candidates be interviewed for every open position.
Another is leading an initiative to provide education around inclusivity at her employer. These are difficult conversations around topics like gender, disability, racism, and neurodiversity.
Gotten PAID.
One client struggled to figure out what was next in her career because of her own story about being fickle (which was really just internalized capitalist BS).
Now, she has a new full-time job in something exciting and meaningful. She negotiated a $40,000+ raise and has plenty of free time to become a badass ice climber.
Become entrepreneurs.
Kelly hated her employer. Really, really hated it…mostly for good reasons.
She had wanted to be an entrepreneur, but the constant exhaustion, dread, and misery from her current role left no time to build a business.
She quit her job and started the deathcare business she always dreamed about. She’s going to change the world.
Created meaning.
Bob is someone who hates injustice in the world. And if he doesn’t feel fulfilled, he feels miserable.
We’ve worked on creating space in his life for his passion: solving information inequality.
This “side hustle” is something he plans on building for the rest of his life.
You need every ounce of emotional resilience to change the world.
