In our 15th episode, we sit down with Megan - better known as Megs from @makeitlikemegs - whose journey from airline worker and realtor to full-time content creator is filled with creativity, resilience, and a whole lot of DIY spirit.
Megs shares how a love of thrifting, a background in real estate, and a passion for sweat-equity home projects led her to documenting her home renovation journey on Instagram. What started as a side project during her Dartmouth fixer-upper has now grown into a thriving online brand with over 100k followers, collaborations with HGTV, Kent Building Supplies, and more.
We chat about her boldest DIYs (spoiler: handmade bathroom tiles and a cement sink), her biggest flops, and how being self-taught, self-motivated, and creatively driven plays into her relationship with imposter syndrome. Megs opens up about navigating motherhood, protecting her family’s privacy online, and the pressure of maintaining authenticity and connection with a large digital audience.
From creating a rock wall in a camper to turning falling-apart bookcases into modern statement pieces, Megs proves that you don’t need a design degree to create a beautiful home - you just need some courage, a little cement, and a lot of vision.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever dreamed of taking a leap into creativity, building something with their own two hands, or wondered if they could really “make it” doing what they love.
