In this episode, I’m sharing some personal stories that explain why you’ll hear me end every episode with the advice, “Eat lunch and make some new mistakes.” These two things brought me energy and clarity during a time when I felt mostly drained and stuck on a hamster wheel.As a mom of four who has worked outside the home for most of the past 15+ years, I’ve had plenty of ups and downs figuring out how to balance it all. Plus, now as a health and life coach, I’ve discovered healthier ways to do what I love while being present with the people I love and not spreading myself too thin.Here’s what we’ll dive into in today’s episode:What it means to shift from an external to an internal locus of control.How a song from Zootopia sparked vibrant aliveness in me.Deciding to go back to work after being a stay-at-home mom.The life-changing lessons I learned from my first life coach.Why “small hinges open big doors” is one of my favorite sayings.How eating lunch became a game-changer for my energy and focus.Why I’m so grateful for my past self, imperfections and all.What I hope you’ll take away from this episode:You have more control than you think. Locus of control is a spectrum. When life feels overwhelming, pause, breathe, and focus on one small step you can take right now.Don’t skip lunch—it’s your energy bridge for the day.Mistakes aren’t failures, they are a valuable part of growth. So celebrate the progress you’ve made instead of dwelling on what’s imperfect.Finally, remember: small changes can have a big impact, and even tiny shifts—like a song or a podcast—can help you feel alive again.Timestamps:(00:00) Welcome, deep breath, and a quote(01:51) Nursing school and locus of control(04.35) The song that lit my fire again 10+yrs later(07:10) Skipping sleep and lunch, what I didn’t realize(09:58) The scary decision to go back to work(12:19) How I came to life coaching(14:38) The small things that had bigger impact(16:16) Recap(19:01) Still time to join the Energy Catalyst group program!Links:Energy Catalyst More DetailsEnergy Catalyst Sign UpFollow me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/meaganhubbardcoachingFollow me on Threads:https://www.threads.net/@meaganhubbardcoachingTry Everything by Shakira:https://youtu.be/jpqV3dzYOgk?si=P5-G8HxQ2VkIV2yjSerenity Prayer:https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=serenity+prayer&form=HDRSC3&first=1Circle of Control Exercise: https://youtu.be/Uq51g4TJlnU?si=8PfyqCvbLwz2VjlQ
