Staying Conscious with Meg & Aly

Staying Conscious with Meg & Aly

Hi we are Meg and Aly. We are two friends that have recently discovered our voice. By having conscious conversations with each other, we have created a space where we feel seen, heard and enough. In sharing this space with others, we began connecting on the universal messiness of life. We found ourselves being inspired by the experiences and perspectives of the people in our daily lives. We invite you to join us in these vulnerable conversations as we host our very own podcast! We encourage you to listen and remain receptive to expanding your mind. Stay conscious and curious.
