Meet Your Coach
A Different Kind of Support
You need someone who’s lived this, studied it, and adapted. Someone who understands that mommy brain and the mental load aren’t laziness—they’re a neurological and social reality. That’s where I come in as a Mental Load and Focus Coach!
I’m Megan, and I’m glad you’re here. This space is inclusive, supportive, and real. As is the coaching you’ll experience when we work together.
Instead of hearing the usual advice like “you’ve got this” or “sleep when the baby sleeps,” imagine someone who truly listens, helps you find yourself amid chaos, and walks with you as you adapt. That’s what I offer. I’ve faced these challenges, studied the nuances, and am here to support others on the brain-altering ride known as parenthood. Together, we’ll REVEAL your path to clarity and calm, ensuring you’re not facing these hurdles alone.
I’m a mom of two tiny humans and married to my best friend. I love reading, crocheting, and landscaping (especially enjoying the outdoor spaces I’ve created). Coffee and hot tea keep me going—when I can finish a cup before it gets cold.
You’ll find me in comfy clothes, often with a kid attached, navigating lived-in spaces where toys are part of the home decor. I’ve stopped apologizing for being real. Instead, I’ve learned to see things differently, advocate for myself when overwhelmed, and show up as more authentically “me” than I was before kids. That’s the journey I help my clients navigate, too.
Experiences and Words That Guided My Journey
Throughout my life, I’ve found words to live by, both encouraging and comforting:
“Mind over matter”
Sir Charles Lyell
Anchored me when I ran ultramarathons (eventually, I’ll try that again). I learned our mind is more powerful than just about anything, including our legs complaining about running so much.
“The struggle is part of the story”
Anonymous
Comforted me when our path to creating our family led us through infertility, loss, a NICU stay, a high-risk pregnancy, and some complicated parenting adventures. I learned that my mindset had a powerful influence on my resilience in the face of adversity. And…
“The days are long, but the years are short”
Gretchen Rubin
Has brought me perspective as my teeny babies have grown into their big personalities and my husband and I navigated the beautiful chaos of our life as a family of four… I learned that parenthood has fast-moving stages, and I want to be present and thrive through them all!
These experiences taught me that mindset, resilience, and support matter just as much as strategies and systems. What would it mean for you to work with a mental load and focus coach who’s not only learned how to support parents, but lived the journey as well?
When Expertise Meets Empathy
Beyond parenthood, I’m an engineer with an MBA. I went from optimizing million-dollar corporate processes to asking, “Wait, where are my keys?” The productivity systems that worked pre-parenthood simply didn’t translate.
Traditional organization tools and executive function strategies helped, but they only got me so far. The emotional labor, mental load, sleep disruption, hormonal changes, and identity shifts required something different. So, I did what I do best: I researched, studied, and built a new framework.
I earned my ICF ACC coaching credential and continue studying the latest research in coaching, matrescence, and perinatal cognitive science. You can explore the evidence base that informs my work. This combination—lived experience, professional training, and evidence-based methodology—creates coaching that works for the realities of parent life.
What Working With A Coach Looks Like
You see your experience through a different lens. Find clarity, peace, and self-discovery. You rediscover the “you” that got lost somewhere between the midnight feeds and endless laundry.
I bring deep listening, pattern recognition, evidence-based strategies, and space for you to show up exactly as you are. You gain self-awareness, tools that work for your unique situation, and support that meets you where you are, without judgment.
My clients move from feeling overwhelmed, guilty, and frustrated to self-aware, clear, and confident. For example, multiple clients have discovered that their frustrating word-finding difficulties were evidence of their brains prioritizing their child’s needs—a realization that shifted how they each spoke to themselves and handled those moments.
What would it feel like to be heard without judgment and supported without expectation? Ready to experience coaching that gets it? Let’s talk.
