What If Your Setback Was Actually the Start?

In this heartfelt solo episode, Megan Tobler gets real about what it was like being laid off while pregnant—and how that major life setback unexpectedly became the catalyst for starting something bigger. She opens up about the moment everything shifted, the emotions she faced, and the “what if” question that pushed her to build Self StartHER into what it is today.

Megan doesn’t just share her story—she gives you tangible takeaways on how to reframe your own setbacks and use them as fuel. If you’ve ever been hit with a curveball (or five), this is the pep talk you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “the worst timing” might actually be the perfect push

• How to recognize when your “what if” moment is calling

• Ways to take small, meaningful steps toward your dream (even when life is chaotic)

• How Megan built momentum while parenting and picking up the pieces

• Why your story—as messy as it might be—is what makes you powerful
  

Tune in if you’re craving: Real talk. Permission to start. And proof that setbacks don’t mean it’s over… sometimes, they mean it’s just beginning.
