A discussion of support systems and how life for Meg is not about balance or doing it all but rather discovering ways that work for her (2:43), liberating yourself from doing the balance and finding out what brings you joy from work to volunteering, we don’t have to supermom it, share the load (9:56), Meg’s retreats, like the one in Bali happening soon, are about finding out what revitalizes you, what’s your meditation style and to being more of that generosity and kindness that’s Care Bear-ish into all our lives (15:01).

Extended Summary:
In Part 2 of our uplifting conversation with speaker, author, and soulful creative Meg Sylvester, we explore what it really means to honor our needs, step into our radiance, and release the pressure to “do it all.” Meg shares her own journey of overwhelm, spiraling, and slowly learning to ask for rest and support without justification. We get a dose of her calm guidance as she reminds us that prioritizing ourselves is not selfish — it’s liberating. From questioning the idea of balance to redefining what actually brings us joy, Meg talks about saying no, ditching the superhero role, and showing up with confidence (even if we haven’t volunteered at school). She reframes meditation as witnessing rather than silencing the mind, and encourages us to find practices that truly fit us. With her signature warmth, Meg shows us why she’s led so many people through transformational experiences — not by offering all the answers, but by being a mirror and holding space. Oh, and yes — she gives us permission to savor compliments and be more like Care Bears, because radiance is our superpower.
