Meet Megan Sherer

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Megan Sherer. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Megan, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?
One of the most important things that I was taught in my journey of becoming a holistic therapist is that resilience is a learnable skill. It’s often perceived as a character trait that you either have or you don’t, but that’s not true. The truth is that resilience is a choice you make to pursue the thoughts, beliefs and habits that help you grow from challenging experiences rather than letting them make you smaller. I’ve been through my fair share of challenges at this point in my life. From adverse childhood experiences, to toxic relationships, car accidents, chronic illness, and the trauma of loss, I’ve faced quite a bit of adversity. And there have been many moments along the way where I questioned my ability to keep going, particularly in my early 20’s when I was trying to build a business while also dealing with the aftermath of all that trauma. I remember countless nights spent sobbing by myself wondering how I would navigate my way out of that dark place. I could have given up, but didn’t, because I chose to build my resilience muscle. I chose to pursue what we call Post Traumatic Growth. Somehow I knew that I could either use my biggest obstacles and deepest pain as an excuse to shrink, or to expand and become greater. And I wanted to see what would happen if I kept showing up and giving my all.
The things that helped me build that resilience were committing to very intentional practices: nourishing myself with self-care, connecting to community and asking for support, believing in my ability even when I couldn’t see the outcome, and having faith in something bigger than myself. Resilience doesn’t just happen. It’s a choice you make to show up for yourself again and again in the face of overwhelming difficulty. And it’s a choice that is available to all of us, regardless of our background.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
My passion is teaching people how to love better, starting with themselves. Relationships are often the area that causes us the greatest amount of pain, because so many people have unhealed wounds around their heart. Beyond that, most people don’t have a healthy relationship with themselves to begin with. You are the most important relationship you will ever have. And nothing lights me up more than helping someone heal and come home to themselves to create space for more love. I believe that love is why we’re here, so most of my work revolves around love and healing.

The problem is, most of us don’t know where to start. And while therapy is important, traditional talk therapy isn’t enough to actually change patterns and heal relational trauma. I teach about somatic and subconscious healing as the practical tools that can help us experience life & love in the way we desire. As a holistic therapist, my goal is to get these valuable resources to as many people as possible. In my private practice, I support women in small groups and 1:1 programs.

As a business owner who cares about accessibility, I have a self-guided therapy community for women called The Self Care Space where I’ve compiled all of my favorite healing tools and modalities. It’s a really wonderful and affordable place for women to connect and get support. Beyond that, I host free summits, and am working on launching a couple courses this year to help people heal from breakups and to re-establish a healthy relationship with their body. I’m also in the process of publishing a book (out in 2025), which I’m so excited for women to read!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The number one quality that I recommend to anyone on any kind of journey is curiosity. Be willing to ask yourself the hard questions. Be willing to admit when you don’t have the answers and seek out people and resources who might. Start to think beyond your current circumstances and get curious about how things can be different, and the infinite number of ways it can all unfold. A fixed mindset is a stagnant mindset, and stagnancy always leads to disease. When I was younger I put a lot of pressure on myself to know everything and have all the answers. When I became willing to set down my patterns of perfectionism and trade them for compassionate curiosity, the world opened up to me in a new way. I started to see possibility where I used to see closed doors. So my best advice to you is to begin to ask yourself new and better questions. Not questions that keep you in the same old story like “why me”. Questions like “what else is possible? how good can it get? what’s another option? I wonder where that comes from?” Those questions are your golden ticket to a life you haven’t even given yourself permission to dream of yet.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Yes! I am looking for people who are passionate about getting healing resources in the hands of women. Anyone with some degree of influence or decision making power within groups of women (influencers, corporate HR leaders, business execs, non-profit leaders) who wants to make a difference in the mental and emotional wellbeing of the women in your community. Because I believe when we empower women to have agency in their own wellbeing, the world evolves for the better. Women understand the power of community and collective growth. And when women are given tools to heal and permission to be their full selves again, our communities become much more empowered places to live and work and love.

Please email [email protected] if you are looking for a speaker or workshop facilitator for your workplace or community. And email [email protected] if you’re looking to bring in holistic mental health recourses and benefits to the women in your community.
