355: The 10 Worst Decisions I've Made
Welcome to the Joyful Mom Podcast!
In this episode, Megan reflects on the ten biggest mistakes she’s made throughout her life — from money decisions like not investing sooner and not knowing how to manage finances, to choices around selling their home and quitting businesses too early. She highlights how each of these moments, even the painful ones, have become teachers that shaped her growth and clarity today.
She also opens up about deeper emotional and personal struggles, including cutting people out instead of having hard conversations, misunderstanding anxiety as something she just had to live with, and not knowing how to process emotions in her early years of motherhood. Through the loss of her daughter Aria, she learned powerful lessons about responsibility, guilt, emotional regulation, and how healing often comes through allowing emotions to be felt instead of avoided.
Megan ends by sharing how fear held her back in business and how the pressure to be a “perfect mom” shaped her parenting more than she realized. Today, she focuses on learning, grace, and showing up imperfectly—while teaching her kids through connection, not constant correction. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own mistakes with compassion and use them as a path toward growth, healing, and doing life a little differently moving forward.
