The Coach's Wife 308

After weeks of nonstop travel and back-to-back events, I hit a wall. I was stuck in survival mode, doom scrolling just to cope, and reacting to everything instead of planning anything. In this episode I talk with Erin about how I used the Eisenhower Matrix to get out of my own head, why I went back to basics with food and movement, and how I'm getting back in the driver's seat. --- Connect with me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/meganspargo/⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we explore personal year numerology and how it can help you understand the season you’re stepping into as we head into 2026, a universal Year One. Rather than predicting the future, personal year cycles offer a framework for reflection, intention, and growth. Think of it as understanding the class you’re enrolled in this year, and how to work with the energy instead of resisting it. --- Connect with me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/meganspargo/⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
