Ep90: Why SoulCycle CEO Says “I Don’t Know"
Ever feel like you don’t belong? That people are going to find out that you have no idea what you’re doing? That they will discover the real truth about you?
Yep – Imposter Syndrome is real and everyone’s got it – according to SoulCycle’s CEO, Evelyn Webster. Even she does!
We ALL question our qualifications, we think we need to know all the answers, we think we can’t make mistakes, and we look around only to find everyone else seems to have it more together than we do.
Well, this episode, no matter what level of leadership you’re in, is for you.
Evelyn joins me to share her humbling experience of shifting career industries from media to boutique fitness and surviving a global pandemic when no one had the ‘right’ answers.
What do you do when you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing? Saddle up to find out.
“I believe quite firmly that we learn more in life from the mistakes that we make than often what we learn from the successes.”

Ep89: F**K the Patriarchy -- with Alanna Dybus
Alanna is back to wrap up the Body Image Trilogy on Create Your Fate with me, Meg Ellis. We chat about BMI (Body Mass Index) and question how we've been fed an 'ideal body type' by the patriarchy. We also joke about what we were fed as kids growing up in the 90s (enough with the ham loaf!), and we look at the outdated food pyramid to see how our idea of healthy food has changed over the years.
We are also here to say that it's okay to get filler or botox or have plastic surgery – who is anyone else to judge? We just want to have the conversation and remind all of you women out there that it's worth questioning some of the norms that have been perpetuated by mainstream media, as well as the things that are normalized nowadays on social media.
Emotional maturity starts with realizing that nothing outside of yourself is going to solve your problems. The people we should be looking up to are those that have learned to love themselves and take care of themselves. We can all work towards doing that more, and it's so worth taking those small, brave steps. I hope you have as much fun listening in on my and Alanna's conversation; I know we had a great laugh, and so I hope you learn a thing or two too!
Please check out Part One and then Part Two of this trilogy on body image. I promise that you’ll get a lot out of those episodes too!

Ep88: Should I Get Plastic Surgery? -- with Alanna Dybus
My bestie, Alanna Dybus, is back for Part Two of a Trilogy around Body Image. I’m super grateful for her friendship, as well as her bravery, as she opens up about her decision to have plastic surgery.
Where do we draw the line between getting plastic surgery and being happy with who we are? How do we reserve judgment around body image issues and remember to consider the other person’s well-being before putting our foot in it?
From advice on asking a woman if she is pregnant, to unpacking the mental health aspect of plastic surgery, Alanna and I go all in on the topic of body image, hopefully, so that we can help destigmatize the topic and make things easier for everyone else out there to have these important conversations with grace and clarity. You are not alone!
Please check out Part One and then Part 3 of this trilogy on body image. I promise that you’ll get a lot out of these episodes!
