We live in a world where being accepted, liked, and understood can feel like everything, but the truth is, you won’t be for everyone. And that’s not just okay, it’s actually a gift.

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful story about an aloe vera plant my daughter found in the “sick section” of a store. She loved it until it stopped looking perfect. Just like her, I was ready to toss it aside. But something made me pause. I gave it a new pot, some care, a better environment, and over time, that little plant began to thrive. Now? It’s healthy, growing, and proudly sitting as a “people plant” in our home.

This story reflects a profound truth about life: you may not always be recognized for your worth right away. You might not be in the right environment. But with care, intention, and the right people around you, you can grow into exactly who you’re meant to be.

In this uplifting and honest episode, we dive into why Girls’ Night isn’t just a fun outing, it’s a vital form of self-care, connection, and simply good for the soul. Joining the conversation are two inspiring friends of mine, Lindsey Rinde and Katie Lieser, who bring their friendship wisdom and practical advice to the table.

We talk about:

• Why girls’ nights are more important than you think
• How finding your group can look the same or very different, and either is okay!
• Creative ways to prioritize friendship amidst busy schedules and different seasons
• The deeper bonds that are often formed when women gather in safe, supportive spaces
• Oh, and if you want to see our awful haircuts, check them out on Instagram @youmatterbymegan

Whether you're overdue for a night out or already planning your next one, this episode will remind you why these connections matter so much, and how to keep them strong.
