Straight talk about shame and self-acceptance: “Every layer of who you are is welcome here.”

“You’re too much.” “You’re not enough.” “You’re too short.” “You’re too tall.” We’ve all heard the negative messages. This podcast is special for many reasons, one of which is that Megan is a new member of our family! Bias aside, she speaks unabashedly about battling a shame narrative that began in her youth, then manifested as body image issues and continues to affect her pursuit of healing as an adult. Social media plays a profound role in how we see ourselves, as do the subtle messages we receive throughout a lifetime (“enduring vulnerabilities”) that annihilate our sense of worth and cause deep wounding. Megan candidly reveals her journey of self-acceptance with an insight that is both relatable and inspiring.

Megan lives in Colorado. Aside from working as a blogger and educational development liaison, she is active in church ministry alongside her husband, Hunter.

The Lenses We View the World From

In this show, podcasters Shari and Jann Simmons discuss how our experiences can be perceived differently when they are viewed through a lens of gratitude or trauma or pessimism, etc. For example, when viewing life from a lens of positivity, one might see a traffic jam as an opportunity to spend some time alone in the car, listening to music. If a traffic jam goes through a filter of negativity, it will most likely be seen as a frustrating inconvenience that leaves us tense and stressed out. The power of these filters in determining our choices is discussed. Join us for Part II in a couple weeks when we talk about how to throw out filters that no longer work!
