Ever wondered what “nervous system regulation” really means and why it matters for women leaders? In today’s episode, Megan Swan welcomes Georgie Shears—ICF certified neurosomatics specialist and creator of the SHIFT system—for an honest, myth-busting conversation on managing stress, building capacity, and reclaiming inner peace.

Key Points Discussed:

• Georgie’s Journey: From years of anxiety and panic to deep self-understanding through nervous system work.

• Nervous System Basics: What your autonomic nervous system does—and why “just think positive” doesn’t work.

• Building Capacity: Why resilience is about expanding what you can hold—not living in perpetual calm.

• Self-Awareness: How noticing sensations in your body is the first step to real change.

• The SHIFT System: Georgie’s actionable five-step framework for creating authentic transformation—at your own pace.

• Women & Perfectionism: Why societal conditioning disconnects us from our needs and choices, and how to reclaim agency.

• Completion vs. Achievement: Understanding why external milestones may not lead to fulfillment without internal regulation.

TLDR: Nervous system regulation isn’t another wellness buzzword—it’s a practical, empowering foundation for thriving in leadership and life. Start by noticing your body, honor tiny (tolerable) steps of change, and let your inner sense of safety lead the way to true capacity and completion—no quick fixes needed.

Feeling disconnected from your self-care routine? In today’s episode, host Megan Swan sits down with May Lindstrom—founder, CEO, and “skin chef” behind the cult-favorite May Lindstrom Skin—to explore how ritual, ingredient sourcing, and simple presence can transform your relationship with skincare and self-nourishment.

Key Points Discussed:

• Skincare Rituals: How May’s daily practices center water, touch, and intention—even (or especially) on tough days.

• Skin as Self-Connection: Seeing your skin as an invitation for intimacy, presence, and listening to what you truly need.

• The “Skin Chef” Approach: Why sourcing, freshness, and ingredient story matter as much in skincare as in food.

• Making Beauty Rituals Accessible: Ways to layer intention and pleasure into routines—regardless of budget or time constraints.

• The Power of Ingredients: A deep dive into sourcing world-class botanicals (like blue tansy) and the importance of trusting your skin to real, nourishing formulas.

• Entrepreneurship & Resilience: May shares what’s fueled her journey through setbacks and why beauty should reflect and celebrate real-life, real bodies.

TLDR: Skincare is less about perfection, products, or trends—and more about tuning into your body, intention, and pleasure. Make your daily shower or face routine a moment of gratitude, not just a task.

Struggling with endometriosis or feeling lost while searching for better answers and support? In today’s episode, Megan Swan welcomes Juliet Oliver, engineer and founder of Endo45, to share her journey from years of misdiagnosis and chronic pain to thriving with endometriosis and empowering thousands through technology and holistic tools.

Key Points Discussed:

• Endometriosis Reality: The delay in diagnosis, with most women waiting up to a decade, and why sufferers often feel dismissed or gaslit in the traditional medical system.

• Taking Health Into Your Own Hands: Juliet’s transformation from chronic pain to vibrant health by reverse engineering her own remission, and the shortcomings of conventional "Band-Aid" medicine.

• Holistic Habits That Help: Simple, science-backed changes like reducing caffeine, purging endocrine disruptors from your environment, and addressing nutrient deficiencies (especially zinc) that can make a real difference in endometriosis management.

• Community & Evidence-Based Support: Why finding credible information and supportive resources—beyond the noise of social media—is vital, and how Endo45’s app brings these pieces together in an accessible way.

• The EndoFit Score: How tracking holistic habits helps users see gradual, real progress, stay motivated, and gain agency over their health journey, even while awaiting diagnosis or treatment.

• Advocating for Yourself: Practical advice on communicating symptoms to healthcare providers, pursuing specific diagnostic tests, and insisting on care that aligns with your personal fertility and health goals.

TLDR: Healing from endometriosis is possible through small, powerful lifestyle changes and by advocating for yourself. You’re not alone—communities and tech-backed tools like Endo45 can provide guidance, motivation, and real hope for women everywhere.
