Let Them Sit in Hard | with Megan Hayward | Ep. 157

This week on Journey to June, I'm joined by Megan Hayward, a former Division One basketball player, mom of five, and founder of TAG (Temporary Assistance Guru), a staffing platform she built from the ground up at 24 years old. But that's not really where this episode starts.We started with what it means to let your kid sit in hard. Megan and her husband — a former Jacksonville Jaguar and Denver Bronco — have raised athletes who've had to face that moment: am I going to quit, or am I going to see what I'm made of? One son is at West Point. Another is getting Division One offers. The path wasn't straight for any of them, and that's exactly the point.Then Megan went somewhere I rarely go on this podcast. She shared the story of surviving an abusive relationship in college — one that produced her son Israel and ultimately the force that broke her free. What she said about raising him, about not pretending his father never existed, about the safe spaces we have to create for our kids — I'll be thinking about that for a long time.We also talked about what ethical leadership actually looks like in business, ownership as a core value, and the shopping cart test she gave her entire team. Her company TAG sits at the intersection of the gig economy and traditional staffing — solving a problem nobody else was solving with integrity.———💫 Read the Full Reflection:  https://liveyourjune.substack.com/p/the-muscle-for-hard———💫 Connect with Megan:Visit her Website: tempguru.coLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petersonmegan/Instagram: @megan.c.hayward———💫 Join the Soulstigator Movement!➡️ Take the Motherhood Survey: https://forms.gle/ozuRfLMwYubq9PdPA➡️ Free Clarity Call: DM Me “CLARITY” on IG @wendyposillico➡️ Visit our website: liveyourjune.com
