PeP. Talks with Megan De La Concha

This episode is brought to you by a passage in my personal daily devotional that has changed and shifted my perspective about the quality of my life and the state of my circumstances and how neither of them are intertwined through God's eyes.   "People tend to think their circumstances determine the quality of their lives. So, they pour their energy into trying to control those situations. They feel happy when things are going well, and sad or frustrated when things don't turn out as they'd hoped. They rarely question this correlation between their circumstances and feelings.   Yet, it IS possible to be content in any and every situation.   Disappointments, instead of dragging you down can be transformed into opportunities for good.  This transformation removes the sting from difficult circumstances, making it possible to be joyful in the midst of adversity"   We can learn to rise above our circumstances by practicing this mental discipline in all the little disappointments of daily life.    Tune in to today's PeP. Talks with Megan De La Concha to find out HOW to do this and the lessons I have personally taken away from practicing this every day.    BONUS: I am hosting an awesome workshop this coming Tuesday (tomorrow) 11/23 at 7pm est - join me for this live and interactive workshop where I teach you how to create your new life's vision by exploring what is it you truly want out of life, what you don't, and how to make that happen consistently  Click HERE to register!!

This day and age, we are constantly trying to live in a future we can not see. We do this by worrying about what if, trying to figure out what to do when ..., analyzing and overthinking every single detail of what could and would go wrong and then desperately trying to make a plan c,d,e,f and g.  We spend all night worrying about it. We sometimes don't eat. We aren't present in conversations that are currently happening. We zone out while driving. Think about it in the shower on and on and on this train we go.  Anxiety is a result of envisioning the future without God in it.  We are designed to only be able to handle specific blocks of time, and for us that means 24 hours at a time and for about 8 of those we are supposed to sleeping. So really its like maybe 16 hours that we have, if that.  Staying in the present moment is something we hear all of the time and there are practices that can help with cultivating that mental discipline. Things such as mindset mastery, meditation, journaling, exercising, breathing exercises, yoga etc.  But we have to first understand that this moment is THE ONLY thing we know to be true and when we project ourselves into the future and linger in the "what if's" of future events, then we rapidly spring into a circle of worry and anxiety and we miss the work, the opportunities, the blessings, and the lessons that are wrapped up in each moment of the day.  Tune in to this weeks episode to learn how to actually live within the confinement of today and find true peace and energy to do what you can today, see all you can see today and trust that the answers of tomorrow's questions can be found in today's actions.  Don't skip this episode, because it lays the foundation for next where we discuss how to create a daily schedule that brings peace, balance and fulfillment  to your life every single day.  Go gently into this day and allow every moment to unravel before you.  xoxo Megan  Grab my free gift to you HERE!!!  If you're tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed before the day starts, then this super amazing guide will have you feeling free and confident in under 3 minutes, every single day.  Click HERE!

I've been focusing a lot making a space for the part of yourself that you don't necessarily want to accept or hold space for and it was in conversations thereafter that I realized, I needed to take it one step further... or back rather.  I mean talk about peeling back the layers!   So before you can create space for every part of yourself to exist as discussed in E34: The Unworthy Moments"   You have to actually, full on, ACCEPT exactly where you are and I mean gathering every piece of you and holding it in your arms like the biggest bear hug -  Showing  up for yourself, as all of yourself takes Courage.   Courage comes before anything. It has too.  Courage breeds Confidence!   So before you know how to hold space for yourself, you have to find the COURAGE to just accept you as you are right now.  KNOWING you are on a journey to becoming your highest self.   WANNA WORK ONE ON ONE WITH ME?   CHECK OUT EVERYTHING  MEGAN DE LA CONCHA BELOW!

This is PeP. Talks FIRST EVER Guest Interview and I THRILLED!!! I have had Whitney on my calendar for SO LONG. The time is right.  Whitney Johnson, known as the "preschool whisperer" made the bold decision 3 years ago to no longer be a babysitter! She started her career in the parenting and childcare space wayyy before she even realized it! At the young age of 7, Whitney began lining up stuffed animals and teaching them to read, count and say their ABCs like her favorite preschool teacher. As she got older, she noticed that people would ask her to babysit, nanny, tutor and teach their children but she never realized the impact she had on each family after working with her. Things took a surprising turn when she became a mother at 21. Although she had years of experience working with children and families, it was TOTALLY different caring for her own child. She found herself drowning in the daily demands of cooking, cleaning and doing things for everyone else that she fell into a deep state of numbness. After months of silence and painful internal pain, she found herself not eating, barely sleeping and barely able to get out of bed most days. This overwhelm in motherhood caused Whitney to be hospitalized for postpartum depression. To pick herself back up, she made the bold decision to no longer do what was the "norm" in motherhood! Instead, She self proclaimed her own path in motherhood, which she calls MUVAHOOD, a phrase that she believes stands for creating your own definition of motherhood, creating your own validation and raising your children to honor themselves through self validation, self love and emotional intelligence. Whitney now shares her signature MUVAH method for helping moms to reclaim time for themselves and find themselves through motherhood in her signature program called Prosper in Parenting Academy, a 8 week intensive for parents looking for support in conscious parenting through temper tantrums and meltdowns. She is also the host of the Muvah May I Podcast, a podcast that centers around REAL Muvahood topics that help moms to feel empowered to own their story, live their best life and find themselves through motherhood. Her work focuses on creating happier homes, stronger family bonds, and deeper connections between parent and child. Join us now for this amazing conversation on how our own limitations are limiting our kids, and not allowing them to just EXIST and most importantly, just BE.  xoxo Megan  My Foundations One On One Confidence Coaching Program is now open for its second season of enrollment.  If you want to stop living on repeat and start becoming everything you always wanted, check out this 16 week personal empowerment journey here: Foundations: One on One Confidence Coaching 

How do you hold space for the part of yourself that you don't necessarily want to hold space for? You know, the part of you that you have a hard time accepting, or just don't want to accept? The part of you that you are resisting, maybe even rejecting? Because that part of you deserves a space.  A space to exist. Not Control. But just exist.  It may sound like  "I am not worthy." "I am not good enough" "I am not lovable" "I shouldn't be feeling this way" "I thought I was past this" When you've been on your own journey/roller coaster of healing, and its been a long time since you've felt unworthy, and then suddenly something happens. You hear something, you catch a glimpse of something, you think something  and its like all those years of hard work and healing seem to be obsolete. Because now you're triggered and you immediately hit the panic button with  "I don't get to feel this way" "maybe I'm really not past this" "Maybe I'm not who I thought I was" This is a universal language.  We all have moments of peace, and we feel so bad ass and grounded and we are killing it in life, relationships, self, career, faith etc.  And we also moments of sinking back into that oh so familiar feeling of unworthiness.  You can hold space for that part of yourself.  Because these moments and these feelings deserve to be felt, heard, seen, expressed and even more importantly...loved. You get to have each and every moment You get to grow and heal You get to be the teacher and the student.  You don't have to change it, you don't have to fix it.  Allow yourself to land wherever you do in each moment because moments pass.  You know deep inside, those moments are not your truth, but are apart of your journey.  You can let them exist and you can let yourself move on.  So, how do you hold space for yourself in all of your glorious and messy moments? xoxo Megan

In this episode I talk about the 3 KEY things you NEED in order to completely unlock the door to transformation and change.  I mean REAL life transformation.  The type of transformation that once realized, can never be forgotten.

When we think of idols we think of idolizing money, material items, desires of the flesh, people etc.    But there are things that we may be idolizing and we don't even realize it.    What are you focusing on?   For me, my self worth and value to my business lied solely in the check marks that laid beside my to do list every day.   Had I accomplished the specified tasks, I would feel accomplished, successful -worthy.  Had I not, BOOM- the doubts, insecurities, negative speak would creep on in.    Since when had this piece of paper with words and numbers become a specific measure of my success?   Listen in as I was reminded of the key to joyous and victorious living and spoiler alert, it has nothing to do with fancy check marks.

A few months back I took a huge leap of faith and asked God to remove everything in my life that: a) did not serve me any longer & b) was providing a false security Woo, I was very nervous praying that prayer, because I know God was like "YES GIRL!" and I was like "oh no what have I done?" But being the Almighty God that he is, he was gracious, soft, kind and gentle. He did exactly what I asked and removed ALL of my securities piece by piece, and I mean he removed securities I didn't even knew I had!! For me, in the moment, the process seemed horrifying and stressful and painful, but looking back- I realized it really wasn't that bad at all, in fact I was the ONLY person who was causing all of this stress and anxiety, because I asked God to do something and then I was trying to figure out what he was doing! (like duh, really Meg?) God spoke to me in a half sleep/half awake state as I was sleeping in my cute Dali decorated air bnb while awaiting to find out where the heck we were going to call "home". It was in this dream that he spoke to me so clearly and I KNEW that this had to be one of the first things I shared on this platform, as soon as I could connect to wifi and find my mic (which was packed away in a UHAUL that was resting nice and pretty in my in-laws drive way) God bless them!  We cause our own anxiety, frustration, confusion and worry when we are trying to constantly figure everything out.  We like to work on steps 3, 4, 5, when we haven't even been to step 1 yet!  We like to work on the "what ifs" instead of finding out what's actually meant to be. By doing this we miss the lesson that God NEEDS us to learn in order to move forward in any way shape and form.  We also miss the blessing that comes in the lesson.  So if you are wondering why you feel you keep coming across the same dang scenario over and over and over, and trust me, this was most of my life up until a few weeks ago- seriously, then this episode is SOOOO FOR YOU!

As we continue to playback some of our favorite episodes. It's important to reflect and revisit all of the amazing conversations we've had. Some of them hit differently especially when you are in a different stage of your journey.  The most important takeaway from this,  The work does not look like sitting all hours of the day in front of a laptop getting tight hips. It does NOT look like spending every free minute at your desk from sun up to sun down.  The work is not just done within a specific block of hours, the work is your life.  Every single thing you do, every hour of the day, including your sleep...is all work.  So make it count. You have 24 hours of the day and all of them are different.  Come into each hour with thanksgiving, a grateful heart and CHOOSE a positive energy.  As I continue to honor the work that I am doing now which is resting, creating and renewing, I bring to you a PeP Talks REWIND "The Truth about  The Work" I hope you enjoy!  xoxo  Megan 

It's never too early for a refresher!!  Ashes To Grace enrollment closes TONIGHT at 6pm est.   Visit here for more information and for enrollment   ashes-to-grace.teachable.com/p/ashes-to-grace   Enjoy this PeP. Talk Rewind Episode 5: Take a Chance on You  Do you struggle with the feeling that you don't completely fit in, no matter what you do?   Are you included in your friends group, but constantly feel like an outsider?   Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, you just don’t feel like your true self?   If you answered yes, welcome!   I know exactly how you feel- For YEARS I always felt that being myself was too weird and not accepted. In my room, by myself, I really liked who I was! I thought I was cute, I knew I was funny, heck I could make myself belly laugh. But I felt that no one ever really SAW me.   No one GOT me.   I was always told I was too loud, weird, too dramatic, too exhausting.  Not a day would go by without me spilling something on my shirt or tripping over my own two feet.   JUST AWKWARD.   I felt I needed to just be cooler, I needed to be someone else, even down to changing the way I laughed.  So I tried and tried and tried to be everything but me.  My clothes, my laugh, my shampoo, my humor, my voice EVERYTHING! It was exhausting.   And Painful.   What I thought were other's thoughts and opinions about me became a reality for who I thought I was.   Today... I love myself and everything I am and have grown to be!!  I live and breathe who I am authentically, transparently, genuinely and most importantly, I am unapologetic about all of it.  Finally deciding to be ALL THINGS MEGAN, and taking a chance on myself was the door that opened for self growth, confidence, resilience and transformation all rooted in faith.   I'm excited to share my story on how I took a chance on myself and why you should do the same.   xoxo   Megan

ashes-to-grace.teachable.com/p/ashes-to-grace Emotional Intelligence is important, the value and benefits of developing your EQ are extensive and in many areas massively under-utilized. Emotional intelligence is the gateway to living a more fulfilled and happy life, and here’s why: Emotional intelligence allows you to understand and manage your emotions in order to self-motivate and to create positive social interactions; it’s the first step in realizing your true potential. The value and benefits of EI are vast in terms of personal, academic, and professional success. Individuals with higher levels of emotional intelligence are less likely to succumb to the negative impacts of stressors, while effectively helping individuals deal with negative emotions and promote more positive emotions in its place. Intellect works best when it’s accompanied by high emotional intelligence. Utilizing and developing emotional intelligence in the workplace can greatly improve both job performance and the social capabilities of individuals within that workplace. Emotional Intelligence is a useful skill to prevent making decisions based on emotional biases. Introduction: What is Emotional Intelligence and why does it matter? Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to understand and manage emotional encounters. Ability to Recognize, understand and manage our own emotions and; Recognize, understand and influence the emotions of others. In practical terms, this means being aware that emotions can drive our behavior and impact people (positively and negatively), and learning how to manage those emotions – both our own and others Individuals who score highly on emotional intelligence tend to be better able to handle everyday stress, foster a greater number of meaningful close relationships, and be more socially competent in general  individuals who are high in emotional intelligence may also be more likely to experience higher levels of well-being, or “optimal psychological functioning and experience” Click here for more information and enrollment to the Ashes to GRACE group coaching program : ashes-to-grace.teachable.com/p/ashes-to-grace

Hey! I feel like it’s been so long, yet it’s only been a week!! And I don’t know about you, but I have been going THROUGH IT!!! The uncertainty, the struggle, the unknown. At times it seemed way too much; I just couldn’t take it anymore. I cried out “God I don't get it, I just don’t get it!” I started to debate on whether or not I should just go back to the job I had and start over. I felt like I was failing my family, that I was single handedly driving us down into financial destruction. I asked my husband, “What do you want me to do? Do you want me to get a job?” And he replied ever so sternly “I want you to do exactly what you’ve been doing.” I paused, caught my breath and then balled again. I KNOW God has confirmed me to travel this journey even when I have no idea what lies ahead of me, because the truth is, It’s none of my business. See, it’s not for me to see my own hand in front of my face It’s only for me to TRUST that it’s there. Trusting God even when you don’t understand is a journey within itself. Carving sacred time out for God creates an intimate relationship with Him and he will show you how to trust him. I trust God, so much that I fear no bad news; for my heart is steadfast on his promises and his mercy. Right now, I honestly have no idea what tomorrow looks like and I am perfectly ok with that. I have peace beyond understanding and joy beyond logic. Not because I am financially well off, have a ton of friends, living in an 8,000 sq. ft house, bills paid, debt free etc. But because through any storm I weather, I know with no doubt that the blessing that lies ahead of me is beyond my own comprehension. When you surrender all of your understanding and all of your insight, when you lean on the staff of trust with all of your weight while following the Lord uphill, you will find that you become more excited about what he has in store for you than you are scared about your current circumstances. When you walk the golden pathway of trust, what a sweet path it is- hand in hand with the Lord, in a childlike manner. He will reveal your journey step by step, and it is through this trust you are able to live above your circumstances. I hope this episode blesses many of you on this journey with me. This journey is real and raw and vulnerable. This journey is my journey shared with you in real time. Thank you for being here with me. You know I appreciate every ounce of you. Xoxo Megan 

As we continue our journey into transformation and finding our highest self, full of confidence, resilience and grace, God will bring us into an isolated space of our own. A space to really connect to our beliefs, a space to connect to our faith, our identity and our core values. This space feels like we’re all alone; this space was meant for us to find grace and who we are in Christ. This is a space where it’s just you, the passenger, and God, the bus driver. As Joyce Meyer puts it; at every bus stop somebody has got to get off. As we move from the now to the future, we will find ourselves in the space between where we may not have all the people around us as we once did. People may not understand the journey that we’re on, they may not know how to support it, they may not want the same experiences that you want. They may not understand that you want different experiences. As we continue we often find that we look around us and realize that we are alone and we feel disconnected to people who were once in our lives. But God has brought us out of the old and into this in between space so that we have no security in anything or anyone else but God, because this is the type of faith, this is the type of trust, this is the type of grace, is what we need in order to move into what’s ahead of us. It’s painful most often, because we’re not prepared for this. It’s painful because it’s unfamiliar. We are so hardwired to be social beings and we long for that connection that when it’s gone, when we feel disconnected from people, we often feel ashamed or guilty or doubtful that we are doing something wrong. It feels like we’re losing people in our lives when in fact we’re not losing anything, God is simply removing. In order to get to the place that he has laid out for you, complete with like minded people who love, support and encourage you, and in order to get to a place where we have deep meaningful relationships, we have to show up as our complete selves. So God gives us a space to shake everything that is unstable in our lives, to remove everything that no longer serves us in order to prepare us, and to build up the things that we have been asking for so that we can step into our new life, our new transformation, fully armed and prepared in order to sustain and grow in the way he wants us to. We can’t show up unprepared or as who we are today, so we need to take the space and embrace it to find who it is that we truly are. This space uncovers your identity. It allows you to  rediscover yourself, take care of yourself, find that true faith that you say that you have, trust like you have  never trusted before. Allow that space to be just you and God and ask him to prepare you through the pain  and trust him through the pain because this is the pain that brings you into a better place,  it is not a pain that keeps you in the same cycle and gets you nowhere. Learn to trust him and find his grace in this space. Xoxo Meg

The word of the year? Favor YUP at it AGAIN!! The reason I am choosing the word favor this year, is because it is an unfamiliar word to me. Why is it unfamiliar? Not because God has been neglecting me and horrible things have happened over and over in my life, not because I have struggled my entire life and I was dealt a bad hand. But because I have been actively pushing away favor instead of accepting it and THAT is unfamiliar to me. The action of choosing to accept God’s favor is unfamiliar. And these past 3 months I have been living a truly unfamiliar, yet favorable life. Familiarity is the enemy of favor and for years, I always chose what was familiar to me, because it was predictable, I knew what feelings to expect, what emotions or anxieties came with the territory, I could control it, because I knew the ins and outs of staying in familiar environments, jobs, relationships, mindset, daily life. Choosing favor feels funny because we don’t know, we can't see what lies ahead, we don’t know what feelings we are going to feel if we start to change our lives and ourselves, we don’t know what life is going to look like on the other side, what job we will have, what we will be doing, who are we doing it with. It's uncertain and uncomfortable because we can’t predict this new space or anything in it. The last 90 days has truly been uncomfortable and so unpredictable, but instead of having an expectation of what I think God is supposed to do and how he is supposed to do it, I am merely accepting the favor that he is presenting in my life. I was addicted to being miserable. Are you? When things were actually happening in my favor, it felt so weird and uneasy that I would  start to create what I was familiar with, frustration, fear, anxiety. We find a way to have bad attitudes, we find a way to sabotage or find fault with our favor and return to the familiar. Are you too familiar to receive the favor that is sitting right in front of you? Are you so used to rejection that you will find it when it’s not even there. Are you so unfamiliar with acceptance that you can’t receive the love he is sending you? I will finish with favor I know that in order to see change, I have to create a vision for myself that I have never created before, I have to experience and see things I have never experienced or seen before. I have to make decisions I have never made, I have to take action in ways I have never had before, I have to think differently, i have to speak differently, I have to live differently,  I have to trust differently. I have to do everything differently I don't know how I am going to feel on this journey, I don't know what it's going to look like, sound like, taste like, smell like, but I do know that this is God's favor for me and that I will accept what he is doing in my life. I do know that no matter how this started that I will finish with favor but God has willed it for me. It is written. It has already been done. Time to focus on our favor - the favor God has given us. You will find what you're looking for. Goodness, mercy Favor is right in front of you. It is not found in money, it is not in that big house, that car, that tropical paradise, that 6 pack, that relationship- It is in front of you because God gave it to you. No matter how it started, it will finish with favor. Are you going to accept favor or chase it away?

Y’all I’m gonna say this time and time again. To create REAL change, I mean the everlasting change that is firmly and forever cemented in to your entire being takes real work- Like the uncomfortable, most time scary work. It is not enough to just set goals and resolutions. What action steps do you have in place that support you in achieving your goals EVERY SINGLE DAY? It is not just one act, it is not just one habit, or one boundary, it is a conglomeration of 10,000 acts every day that get you to where you truly desire to be and who you want to be. It may feel like you are starting all over again every single day, but the truth is, is that you are just picking up where you left off. Diving even deeper, actions are not the only thing you have to change. Actions are the byproduct of feelings, and feelings are birthed from thoughts. So to get to the very core of where change begins, we have have have to look at the input and output of our minds. What are we allowing, what are we accepting, what are we not allowing, what are we not accepting? We have created our current environment through a very long reactive chain of thought. When we think about present and usually past situations, when we worry about what was, what is and what’s to come, when we are constantly in a state of stress and survival, then our feelings that come along with these thoughts, tell our bodies how to physically react. Ever made hasty decisions out of anxiety or a sense of desperation? Lord knows up until recently, my whole life was based on one decision after another that was made purely out of fear. Recently, I mean about 6 years ago. But what would happen, is I would set goals and have the best intentions, I would create habits that I wanted to do every day in order to attain my goals, but my thoughts remained the same. So when I began to make a little bit of progress, it got. REAL And my real, I mean uncomfortable. The discomfort and the fear of uncertainty and the unknown allowed me to crawl right back into what had been familiar to me for so long. Anger, frustration, anxiety, worry and fear. When I finally gained the wisdom to know that my mindset directly created my life, in conjunction with my ever present awareness, AND the decision to every little thing differently than I had before, and live fully in the present and in favor, that's when freedom, magic, miracles, liberation happened. I truly mean it. When you start to put new habits, new thoughts, new feelings in to play and really practice self awareness, then you create your new environment and then we don’t feel so fearful anymore, We no longer fall back into our familiar world that has up until now, kept us stuck. Stuck like Chuck. So let’s start with becoming aware of our old patterns, thoughts, habits, actions and behaviors and let's actively replace them with new things. ALL NEW THINGS. And if you don’t know where to start? Then just do the complete opposite of what you would normally do, think the opposite, feel the opposite, turn left instead of right. Look up instead of down. Seriously it's that simple. Listen in to Episode 22 for more insight, examples and just a deeper conversation on how to make authentic change in your life! Xoxo Megan

It may feel like you are starting all over again every single day, but the truth is, is that you are just picking up where you left off. Diving even deeper, actions are not the only thing you have to change. Actions are the byproduct of feelings, and feelings are birthed from thoughts. So to get to the very core of where change begins, we have have have to look at the input and output of our minds. What are we allowing, what are we accepting, what are we not allowing, what are we not accepting? We have created our current environment through a very long reactive chain of thought. When we think about present and usually past situations, when we worry about what was, what is and what’s to come, when we are constantly in a state of stress and survival, then our feelings that come along with these thoughts, tell our bodies how to physically react. Ever made hasty decisions out of anxiety or a sense of desperation? Lord knows up until recently, my whole life was based on one decision after another that was made purely out of fear. Recently, I mean about 6 years ago. But what would happen, is I would set goals and have the best intentions, I would create habits that I wanted to do every day in order to attain my goals, but my thoughts remained the same. So when I began to make a little bit of progress, it got. REAL And my real, I mean uncomfortable. The discomfort and the fear of uncertainty and the unknown allowed me to crawl right back into what had been familiar to me for so long. Anger, frustration, anxiety, worry and fear. When I finally gained the wisdom to know that my mindset directly created my life, in conjunction with my ever present awareness, AND the decision to every little thing differently than I had before, and live fully in the present and in favor, that's when freedom, magic, miracles, liberation happened. When you start to put new habits, new thoughts, new feelings in to play and really practice self awareness, then you create your new environment and then we don’t feel so fearful anymore, We no longer fall back into our familiar world that has up until now, kept us stuck. Stuck like Chuck. So let’s start with becoming aware of our old patterns, thoughts, habits, actions and behaviors and let's actively replace them with new things. ALL NEW THINGS. And if you don’t know where to start? Then just do the complete opposite of what you would normally do, think the opposite, feel the opposite, turn left instead of right. Look up instead of down. Seriously it's that simple. Listen in to Episode 22 for more insight, examples and just a deeper conversation on how to make authentic change in your life! Xoxo Megan
