A 9-month LIVE journey to grow your income, expand your capacity, and deepen your impact.
From unpredictable income cycles and maintaining pace in the marketplace to setting aside savings for taxes, let alone retirement— each of these factors and more make the daily reality of running a business complex.
Add in any inner conflict about the desire to earn more in an inequitable economy or any fear about the sacrifices required for growth and you might find yourself stuck hitting the same plateau year after year.
Sustaining yourself financially through Self-Employment is a success unto itself
Can you dare to think about expanding your income in times like these?
I say yes. To grow, evolve, and ultimately expand is absolutely possible. And not only possible, but essential. Your work is necessary. The expression of your gift is essential. Sharing your joy is vital.
Your financial resilience and expansion ensure that you’ll thrive for decades to come. The more you thrive financially, the deeper and broader the impact your work has on the collective.
Abundance in your business can be both virtuous and generative.
I already know you pour your heart into your business—that the people you serve and the work you do prompt your feet to hit the floor each morning. I’m also all too familiar with the visceral fatigue of not knowing when you’ll have enough money, time, or energy to live your own life.
The success of your business can be the beginning of a cycle of reciprocity that pours into your community and in turn reinvigorates you. The gap that exists between the work you do and the financially expansive life you yearn for is exactly the gap I help my clients bridge.
It’s time for you and your business to EXPAND.
I want you to earn an income that supports your basic needs and your wildest dreams. One that not only funds a week-long yoga retreat but also provides wisely for a secure future.
I promise that you can serve without sacrificing your financial well-being or compromising your integrity. And while this course isn’t necessary for you to find a way into that, it’s been designed from start to finish to nourish your journey.
I developed EXPAND as a pathway to financial health in self-employment.
And I’ve been walking clients along this path for over a decade.
There are very few safeguards to protect entrepreneurs from precarious financial futures. It’s all too easy to idealize this road and hide from this reality—I have intimate experience with this myself.
Because there’s always one more email to respond to, one more client to secure, you can go years without making space for the honest assessment of how things are really going.
The shadow side of working for oneself is often ignored in our culture.
From high burnout rates to financial uncertainty to the limiting beliefs we carry around money and the emotional labor involved in service-based roles—these themes often get swept under the rug.
In EXPAND, I’ve created a space in which we can talk more honestly about these themes. Where it’s okay to be exactly where you are on your entrepreneurial journey. And also a place where you can learn to move towards your goals in new ways.
Working with your inner capacityto receive is a crucial process in the success of your business.
Business owners are most often offered strategy and mindset work—but what I know deep in my bones is that true wealth requires a different kind of support and integration.
Often the body itself, through its brilliant nervous system, thwarts our efforts to create the change in income we desire. You may unconsciously reject the new and unfamiliar, even when that newness is the experience of abundance and flourishing in business.
We’ll work together to repattern your responses, develop your capacity to receive wealth, and integrate your inner desires with your body’s ability to accept them gracefully.
“I joined EXPAND to create a more cohesive, sustainable, and grounded relationship with money, finances, and my income. What I left with was an entirely different approach to what expansion actually feels like, the courage to let go of what wasn’t working in order to make space for and trust in something new, and new approaches to how I manage my financial life.
Filled with practical tools/spreadsheets/worksheets, deeply reflective exploration, supportive structure, and a huge amount of meaningful guidance, EXPAND was a landing place that allowed me to make deeply important decisionsin a transitional season of my life.
I know I will return to the work of EXPAND as I continue building and growing throughout the years. I’m so grateful for the gifts Megan has and for her willingness to share them with such an open heart.”
— Lisa Olivera, author and therapist
The financial work in EXPAND is weaving work.
The warp is strategic external action.
This is the practical financial foundation that holds the ground required to support expansive growth.
The weft is the art of inner intelligence.
This is the process of consciously navigating and responding to our emotional and physiological reactions—tending the inner self who seeks safety, belonging, and self-expression.
By combining these aspects harmoniously, we weave the financial life we truly desire.
When the internal and external are in disharmony, the tapestry is tangled with financial stagnation and frustration.
When we adopt tactics and strategies that are too much, too fast, or too soon for us, we risk our efforts backfiring because we haven’t yet integrated the change at a deeper level.
And so we must begin the precious work of untangling and braiding back together.
In EXPAND we’ll weave together the practical:
Cash flow requirements (both business & personal)
Establishing regular paydays
Business-specific savings accounts (including retirement)
Assessment of current capacity & future potential
Evaluation of current pricing and payment structures
Creation of annual earning & expense plans
and the emotional:
Your relationship to financial stability
Your feelings about receiving & expanding your earning capacity
How you value your offerings as well as yourself
How you see yourself having a deep and broad impact through your work
Your relationship to power & taking action
Your emotional experience with establishing boundaries and being seen
Each of these areas influence your capacity to receive—and altogether create a vibrant earning ecosystem.
“I began the EXPAND course after years of feeling overwhelmed, and unsure around managing my wealth, and disconnected from my sense of financial freedom and agency.
Through our work together Megan guided me into a new relationship with wealth and entrepreneurship that finally made sense- a relationship in which my body, values, and vision felt seen, held, and nourished.
The E XP A N D content honestly blew my mind. Being in a space that was so artfully facilitated felt pretty magical. The conversations we got to have as a group felt spontaneous yet so vulnerable and connected.
I realize now that I can do the work I love and flourish financially and emotionally instead of repeating the patterns of burnout and exhaustion that had been my models.
Megan's expert, warm, and deeply thoughtful guidance continues to transform my life, as I expand and thrive in my work, and step into my financially independent future.

integrating more constructive responses.
I have done my best to design this course in support of your success, but please remember that it is your personal engagement with the material and the actions you take that will determine your results.
I believe one of the most powerful aspects of doing this work with others is that we are able to co-regulate as we work through the uncomfortable-and inevitable-phases of growth.
“When I signed up for EXPAND, I didn't know what changes to make or how to move forward in my business, just that what I was doing wasn't working anymore.
After owning my own business for nine years, I had made myself sick from the stress of being spread too thin with a chronic lack of boundaries and consistently taking on more than I could handle. I was constantly working but didn't feel like I was getting anywhere.
Through Megan's coaching, informative and introspective worksheets, and my classmates' supportive feedback, I gained clarity on how I want my work to feel and look. This helped me to let go of some client relationships that were no longer serving me and attract clients that were a better fit. Megan helped me identify energetic blocks in myself regarding my worth and rates which I hadn't raised in nine years, and coached us on how to roll out new pricing to my existing clients respectfully.
Having a supportive group of like-minded entrepreneurs to bounce ideas off of, learn from, and be inspired by was tremendously helpful for me. I wouldn't have made these significant changes in my business without the inspiration and support I received from Megan and my EXPAND classmates.
In the quarter following the class, my income has doubled, and how I feel about my work and my impact has improved immensely. I'm grateful to Megan for doing this work and that her course came into my life at such a pivotal moment.”

“ I want you to know how much I've taken your advice to heart.
I hired an admin assistant.
I changed my billing approach to fixed and raised my rates by 25%. I am capturing more of the unbillable time in these fixed fees.
I love being able to bill a set amount at the end of the project with no feelings of embarrassment or any effort to slim down my hours so as not to shock my clients. They have already agreed to the fee and I feel more entitled and excited to do invoicing.
I raised the rate of my contract employee as well, by a pretty significant margin, which felt scary but great!
Saying a polite 'No' much more frequently this year, and handing out referrals left and right.
Scheduling about 5 or 6 weeks of time off this year not including thanksgiving or winter holidays.
I feel so much more empowered about my finances right now. I'm happy to interact with my financial world in almost any format and feel that I am on my way to mastery in this area. Once the learning curve has leveled off a bit, I will be equally happy to keep everything humming along in the background, and spend more time art-making, picnicking, gardening, lollygagging, etc. All the things I loved to do when I was a wee lassie. But the big difference is I'll be having this fun without feeling as if I'm being irresponsible to my future.
Thank you Megan!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your guidance in this journey”
— Melissa, EXPAND participant
About Megan
Over the past decade, as a Wealth Doula, I have sat in thousands of intimate conversations with hundreds of clients as they untangle their complex relationship with money and learn the practical skill of taking care of it differently.
I am passionate about creating a space for heart-centered business owners to develop confidence managing their money and building wealth—spaces that are both nurturing and challenging. These spaces hold reverence for the complex and deep layers we encounter when journeying through this work. These spaces that are trauma-informed, shame free, and aware of how our current financial circumstance is also a result of systemic economic realities.
I want more money flowing through loving hands —and this work is the sweet way I get to contribute to that dream.
Investment + Pricing
Let’s just speak about the elephant in the room
Does it make sense to spend money on this course if money doesn’t feel abundant? It’s a critical question to ask, and I’ll be really direct in saying - it may not.
However, it might also be an investment that generates a powerful financial and emotional return . A few small shifts in reduced spending, increased savings, and ending the debt cycle can not only repay the investment very quickly but also continue to compound over time.
EXPAND
How do you know if this is a wise investment? Ask yourself…

Would making the investment in this course cause you real financial strain? If this course would hinder your ability to pay your bills, this is not the time for this investment. Focus first on your immediate needs. Trust that there is time for this work later on when you are financially ready.

You are seeking community with other heart-centered business owners.
You want your business to be profitable, but feel conflicted about how to pursue this with integrity to your values.
This course will not be a great fit if…
You have a restaurant - or retail-based business. This simply isn’t my area of expertise.
You have too much life going on to give the course the attention it will require. Join this list to be the first to know about future course dates.
You want formulas, blueprints, or one-size solutions. I have no judgment about plug-and-play approaches - they just aren’t my style.
You want to network and develop relationships with high-powered, 7-figure-track entrepreneurs. (If this sounds like you, check out Hello Seven to see if it’s a fit.)
“I came to Megan teetering on crisis.
I felt victimized by my own business and couldn't see how to take back my power from difficult clients or revise my business model into something emotionally and financially sustainable. Megan was able to use her incredible balance of emotional and financial intelligence to help me learn how to appropriately price my services and qualify prospective clients.
I'm once again seeing my business as a vehicle for self-actualization instead of something that's preventing it...”

As a business owner, I know how you are pulled in a million directions and time is a precious resource. I have intentionally designed this course to FLEX to your availability.
LIVE CALLS: 75min. / week - the last 15 min. of each class are for extended conversation / Q & A - so if you have to jump off after 1hr, that is fine
RECORDED CONTENT: 1hr/week (+/-) can be completed on your own self-paced schedule
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT + INTEGRATION: 1hr (+/-) / week - It is hard to know how much time this will be for you, but I hope that in signing up for this course you carve out extra time for extra projects that may come up as we go along

I am not a fan of large, magical promises. I believe in deep, lasting, integrated change… And… This course will be as transformative and powerful as you allow it to be. You may very well make thousands more each month! I have many clients who have...
I am positive this process will accelerate your pace to that end, but a timeframe or an amount isn't something I can promise. I ask the you take responsibility for your own outcome. My commitment is to generously share my expertise and all the tools I have in my toolkit to support and guide you on this leg of your journey.
-
This is an excellent question, because the course is best suited for solopreneurs or self-employed individuals. Your business may be a more advanced/seasoned than the businesses this course is designed to support.
That said, I would love to hear your desires and concerns and assist you in making an informed decision (and pointing you towards a better avenue of support).
-
While this course will prepare you—mentally, emotionally—for tackling each of these projects, the course doesn't focus specifically on any of these broad topics. You will, however, get resources and links about what next steps you can take!
-
I want this course to be accessible to those who are eager to participate yet have limited funds to invest. I offer 2 spots each session and prioritize the awards to BI&POC women, single mothers, and those financially impacted by COVID-19. Please see the link below to apply.

It is important that we all start together, therefore you will get access to the course material on the day of the first LIVE call. You will also receive journal prompts and emails about what to prepare after you enroll.

“Best Investment in myself of the YEAR! Wheeww!! This course goes deep into navigating the inner work of self-employment and exploring our relationship with MONEY. It’s a game changer folks.”
