Meet Meghan Dwyer

We were lucky to catch up with Meghan Dwyer recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Meghan, thank you so much for opening up with us about some important, but sometimes personal topics. One that really matters to us is overcoming Imposter Syndrome because we’ve seen how so many people are held back in life because of this and so we’d really appreciate hearing about how you overcame Imposter Syndrome.
Imposter syndrome is something that came very naturally for me. I used to be terrified to put myself out there – to expose myself to judgments or criticism from others, especially doing it in the vulnerable way that I do. But, I knew I had a message that I needed to share with the world and my inner fire is what ultimately propelled me to take action, in spite of the fear. It can still be scary at times, but I have learned to implement a practice of self-compassion, which has been crucial to my own self-development and growth.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I started a podcast 3+ years ago called Money Isn’t Scary so I could inspire, educate and empower women to create a healthy relationship with money. The show takes you on an honest, vulnerable and relatable journey through the beliefs, thoughts and emotions behind women’s relationship with money so that we can stop letting money control us and, instead, start feeling empowered to live life on our terms, and thrive. Through this work, I have discovered that our relationship with money is an extension of our relationship with ourselves and so much of my message focuses on the inner work so that we can create greater self-awareness and greater financial balance.

This message is one that I am truly passionate about and as a result, I have decided to take it a step further and have begun to work one on one with individuals in private coaching sessions to help them do this work on a personal level.

I also love spreading this message through speaking opportunities, events, workshops, etc.

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?
Top 3 qualities, skills: Self-compassion, empathy and curiosity

The beauty of these particular skills is that they can be innate, but don’t have to be – we can also learn them. The trick is we just need to be quiet with ourselves and create the space for self-awareness. We live in a culture that teaches us to always be looking and striving for more and better but we don’t give ourselves enough grace to be ok with who we are, today – that is enough. Quieting the mind, practicing self-compassion and curiosity for our selves and empathy for others are keys to enriched lives and positive perspectives.

Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?
My ideal clients are self-aware women entrepreneurs, who open to coaching and personal development. These are women who recognize the importance of improving their mindset around money and the impact that can come of it. They are vulnerable, brave and open to facing discomfort on their path towards growth.

Ideally, these women have done some coaching or therapy before so understand the process around it.
