In this episode, Meghan discusses the questions we tend to ask ourselves as we approach the new calendar year. She explains that these are the questions for which purpose is the answer. Who we are today is not the same as who we were yesterday and who we’ll be tomorrow. Yet, paradoxically, we are exactly the same person we were yesterday and will be tomorrow. This is one of a few key paradoxes of purpose that Meghan explores in this episode. Sit back, enjoy the holiday feels, and join Meghan as she gives us a preview of where we’re going with Bullshift in 2022!Get the full transcript and more information here: meghankrause.com/46Get my 9 Facets That Fuel Your FulfillmentJoin Purpose CampConnect with Meghan:Website: https://meghankrause.com (meghankrause.com)Instagram: https://instagram.com/meghan_krause (@meghan_krause)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellomeghankrause (@hellomeghankrauseLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/ (linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/)

This week, Meghan delivers a sequel to last week’s Bullshift episode, “The Most Important Question.” Today and in the coming weeks, she’s continuing to educate us on aliveness and provides us with countless tools to help us come alive. In this episode, Meghan shares in detail the five pathways to help dive into the process of coming alive. She explains to us that aliveness starts with dreaming in order to avoid waking up some time in the future to realize you’ve been living someone else’s version of the good life. These dreams begin with “What does the good life really look like to me?” and “Am I living in the place I love, with the people I love, doing the right work on purpose?” Throughout this episode, Meghan provides us with incomparable wisdom in regards to living our purpose and coming alive. Get the full show notes and more information here: http://meghankrause.com/34 (meghankrause.com/34)Are you ready to live a life worth living?

After a short summer hiatus, Meghan is back at it and brings us a powerful episode this week on combating the ever-popular excuse, “I’m too old!” Whether you’re under the impression that no one will hire you at this age or that you're too old to make a change toward what you want, these two less-than-true beliefs are just barriers to pursuing your purpose. Meghan reminds us that thoughts are just sentences in our minds, but by repeating those sentences, they become beliefs. In an effort to overcome these unhelpful thoughts, Meghan delivers an applicable message about capitalizing on the prime of your life and pursuing your purpose in both your career and your life as a whole. Get the full show notes and more information here: http://meghankrause.com/32 Get my 9 Facets That Fuel Your FulfillmentJoin Purpose CampConnect with Meghan:Website: https://meghankrause.com (meghankrause.com)Instagram: https://instagram.com/meghan_krause (@meghan_krause)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellomeghankrause (@hellomeghankrauseLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/ (linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/)

Because of the severity of the continued endurance, we will have in the lives of those we’ve come in contact with, Meghan highlights the importance of developing the character we can look back on with pride and pleasure and the predominant need to strengthen our character muscles now while we can. Get the full show notes and more information here: http://meghankrause.com/29 Get my 9 Facets That Fuel Your FulfillmentJoin Purpose CampConnect with Meghan:Website: https://meghankrause.com (meghankrause.com)Instagram: https://instagram.com/meghan_krause (@meghan_krause)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellomeghankrause (@hellomeghankrauseLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/ (linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/)

This week in Bullshift, Meghan identifies the myth surrounding popular beliefs about our personalities and gives us a more helpful, alternative way of thinking. If you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “I am someone who…” then this episode is for you. Meghan explores the benefits and potentially harmful aspects of personality tests like Enneagrams and Meyers Briggs and considers how our orientations are deceptively powerful.

In this week’s episode of Bullshift, Meghan explores how to change careers when you don’t know what you want to do - gotta get while the getting good, right? She reiterates the fact that we’re not limited to a single career path and reminds us of the likelihood of reaching the career roadblock that causes us to wonder: “What’s next?” Meghan gently reinforces the notion of not knowing what to do next as a necessary part of our growth and evolution, and we’re not alone in that. She encourages us to keep this in mind when considering not only our careers but any other of our lives, too. Meghan shows us how to eradicate our old models for understanding ourselves and our world and embrace the opportunities ahead of us.Get the full show notes and more information here: http://meghankrause.com/23 Get my 9 Facets That Fuel Your FulfillmentJoin Purpose CampConnect with Meghan:Website: https://meghankrause.com (meghankrause.com)Instagram: https://instagram.com/meghan_krause (@meghan_krause)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellomeghankrause (@hellomeghankrauseLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/ (linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/) 
Meghan’s back with a new episode of Bullshift and she’s highlighting the urgency of future-proofing our decisions, especially as we enter into midlife. She reminds us that the decisions we make throughout our lives profoundly influence the lives of the people we’re going to become and encourages us with an approach to making choices that won’t disappoint “future us.” Meghan encourages us to break the cycle of decision-making in the present just to undo, cover-up, or reevaluate that same decision in the future. She begs the question, “Why do we make decisions that we come to regret in the future?” and follows up with all the guidance we need to future-proof our decisions moving forward. Get the full show notes and more information here: http://meghankrause.com/22 Get my 9 Facets That Fuel Your FulfillmentJoin Purpose CampConnect with Meghan:Website: https://meghankrause.com (meghankrause.com)Instagram: https://instagram.com/meghan_krause (@meghan_krause)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellomeghankrause (@hellomeghankrauseLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/ (linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/) 
This week, Meghan is back with a new episode addressing the power of self-regulation and calling in others. She’s addressing the single biggest obstacle to clear communication, deeper understanding, unconditional love, self-mastery, and social progress: our instinctive nature to see things from our own point of view. Meghan reminds us that shame is seldom (if ever) an effective strategy that typically breeds cycles of harm instead of change. She encourages us to embrace the ambiguity of life and accept the grey areas that prevent us from viewing life as wholly good or wholly bad instead of accepting and respecting others' opinions outside of our personal vantage point. Throughout the episode, Meghan teaches us to liberate ourselves from our pain by seeing how we’re creating certain results in our life through our thoughts.Get the full show notes and more information here: http://meghankrause.com/21 Get my 9 Facets That Fuel Your FulfillmentJoin Purpose CampConnect with Meghan:Website: https://meghankrause.com (meghankrause.com)Instagram: https://instagram.com/meghan_krause (@meghan_krause)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellomeghankrause (@hellomeghankrauseLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/ (linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/) 
This week in Bullshift, Meghan walks through the problem of WEXIT - Women’s Exit from the Workforce - and focuses on what we can do to make the workplace work for women. She highlights the need for future-proofing our workforces by giving women a better experience centered on wellbeing, what we want to feel like employees, and a set of organizational commitments to address workplace disparities. Meghan rhythmically shares the similarities between music and our experiences as employees and considers our interactions and range of emotions as it relates to our work, all in her signature voice tailored to midlifers.Get the full show notes and more information here: http://meghankrause.com/20 Get my 9 Facets That Fuel Your FulfillmentJoin Purpose CampConnect with Meghan:Website: https://meghankrause.com (meghankrause.com)Instagram: https://instagram.com/meghan_krause (@meghan_krause)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellomeghankrause (@hellomeghankrauseLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/ (linkedin.com/in/meghankrause/)
