5. Megan Gill on Body Challenges, Major Break-Up Shake-Ups, and Embracing Her Advocate Era

Megan Gill (Actor, Entrepreneur, Filmmaker) is majorly shaking sh*t up, and we’re here for it. This was such a heartfelt episode as we chatted about life-altering breakups, leaving her stable serving job, and how she’s embraced being an advocate. We both hail from Chicago, (heyoooo!), which is where Megan started her acting career before making the leap to Los Angeles, where she currently resides. She owns a transcription company and is embracing a major pivot with her newest venture, A Broadway Body - an idea that grew years after she helmed a short film of the same name and is focused on body image advocacy. Recently, she adopted a dog, quit her serving job, left her acting class of five years, and is starting a new business…I mean, I’m kinda obsessed with her and think you will be too. Perfect for anyone navigating the ups and downs of creative and entrepreneurial life, this episode delves into personal growth, resilience, and staying true to oneself.— The impact of her first big breakup on her personal growth and her business — How she fell into transcription + started her first business — Trusting Mother Earth and trusting herself to make challenging decisions — Discovering her voice as an artist and an advocate — Not questioning your own credentials so you can get started — Empowering artists on how to take care of their bodies with compassion — How to make sure your business defines how you want to serve others Resources Mentioned in the Episode Book: A Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control - A Path to Peace + PowerShort Film: A Broadway BodyConnect with MeganMegan Gill’s IMDBMegan’s IGMegan’s WebsiteMegan’s Company IG - CTD.
