004 Learning to Surrender with Megan Reynolds

I’m so excited to share with you today’s episode with Megan Reynolds, founder of Flawed Perfection Jewelry and Parks & Recreation Fan! During our conversation, we really dive into surrendering the need to have a detailed life plan, creating a bullshit filter and the lessons we can learn from heartbreak. This episode is great if you struggle with saying no, setting boundaries, and if you feel the need and pressure to plan every aspect of your life. Megan Reynolds is a 24 year-old entrepreneur who attempts to balance her jewelry business, Flawed Perfection Jewelry, with being a personal stylist and part-time nanny. She was born, raised, and currently resides in San Diego County, California. She is constantly inspired by her beautiful surroundings. When she's not making jewelry or being a clothing stylist, she's listening to podcasts, chatting with her online friends, watching plenty of good t.v. shows, or enjoying time with all her family that lives nearby.
