Episode 248: Finding Time for Wellness for High-Achieving Women with Megan Swan

Oct 31

Going alcohol-free is one of the best things you can do for your health. But what about after that? What are the next steps?

Megan Swan is a guru on women’s wellness who works with high-performing, high-achieving women. In this episode, she and Karolina talk about how to think about your wellness differently so it’s easier to incorporate into your life.

Megan and Karolina met years ago, and she actually just graduated from the Empowered AF Coach Certification program (plus, she led a yoga class and shared incredible wellness rituals at the retreat, too!)

If your holistic wellness routines are taking a backseat as you tackle your most ambitious goals, Megan will inspire you to prioritize your health so you can get to the next level without burning out.

She even debunks myths about sugar (just eat the damn fruit!), will help you find ways to “sneak in” movement, AND build a bank of healthy, guilt-free meals to pull from.

IN THIS EPISODE:

How removing alcohol and embracing fruits, veggies, and fermented foods can supercharge your digestion

Megan’s 7-year alcohol-free milestone, and why she feels better than she ever has at age 45

Eating intuitively, debunking diet myths, removing food guilt, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution

Manageable changes you can make to integrate wellness into your busy life more seamlessly and superfoods to incorporate into your diet

REFLECTION QUESTION

Celebrate a significant milestone in your wellness journey (whether it's sobriety, diet change, or incorporating movement). How has reaching this milestone reshaped your goals and aspirations for your health?

“As we age, particularly as women, there's all these narratives that kind of support not really trying to get back to – not that you need to be your 20 year old body, particularly post motherhood, like that's not necessarily going to happen – but you can have this different body that's the same level of thriving or I would argue even better. Like in my case, I feel better at 45 than I ever have.” - Megan Swan

“You're in tune to what feels good when you eat it, and you're in tune to what is amazingly delicious but ultimately slows your digestion and makes you feel kind of like crap. And it's not to say never eat that, but just be clear on how you want to feel the next day. And then little by little, you make better choices, more consistent in honoring what makes you thrive.” - Megan Swan
