We recently connected with Megan Thompson and have shared our conversation below.

Megan , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?

The moment I let myself break free from the boxes I trapped myself in and leaned into curiosity instead. We often box ourselves in to feel in control or because our brains love sticking to the usual. We set out on our paths thinking, “Okay, to keep going, I’ve got to look a certain way, act a certain way, do these specific things.” And yeah, sometimes that helps us connect with ourselves and others, sparking growth. But more often than not, we end up comparing and limiting our true, authentic selves, watering down our creativity and impact. Life’s all about finding balance. So, when I ditched the need to fit in with trends, follow someone else’s script, and just let curiosity take over—that’s when things really started falling into place for me

Megan , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

As a Somatic Activated Healer and Ayurvedic Embodiment Coach, my purpose is to empower womxn, guiding them through a transformative journey where pain becomes a bridge to healing and liberation. Specializing in igniting curiosity and providing a sacred space, I help individuals unfold and live their dharma—their souls purpose.

By courageously stepping through the depths of pain into the realm of healing, we open space needed to create the life we’ve always envisioned. My mentorships and programs are meticulously crafted to facilitate this profound journey. My ultimate aspiration is to lead you towards liberation, help you discover joy, embody your best self, and cultivate a soul-aligned life.

My coaching methodology seamlessly weaves together Ayurveda, yogic principles, and somatic movement. As a certified yoga instructor, I offer a diverse array of practices, including yoga flow, sculpt, restorative/yin, and meditation. Somatic movement is a fundamental aspect of my teachings, emphasizing the profound connection between the mind and body.

Ayurveda serves as the foundation for all the work I do. Whether you choose 1:1 coaching, somatic sessions, group programs, or wish to integrate these teachings into your workplace, Ayurveda remains the guiding perspective. Join me on this holistic journey of healing, self-discovery, and alignment with your true essence. Together, let’s co-create a life resonating with the wisdom of your soul.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

So many! But the one I will share that I think many can relate to is this–stop looking for validation outside of yourself, you have the answers, trust yourself.

So often we are seeking answers or validation outside of ourselves, which leads us off of our own path. Its not to say we don’t need others along our path, or that we can’t get advice or mentorship, but when we do not trust ourselves and are constantly or only listening outwhat others are telling us to do or what others envision for our lives, we have lost the plot. We have lost ourselves, and our calling will only feel more distant or cloudy.

Stay open to life and connect with the self, be so self aware that you know when to take action and when to seek aligned perspectives from others.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

I think the most resilient thing we can do is be open to life and follow our souls calling. To overcome the obstacles, trust yourself and your path even when the path is unclear, to overcome the limitations that others and your own mind places upon you, it aint easy! It takes courage. There are a million reasons to not dream big, and even more reasons to continue. You get to choose!

The day I stopped trying to follow the path I thought society and others wanted me to was the day my life expanded. Our souls calling is both a gift to ourself and to others–so don’t be selfish, follow your BIG dreams!
