Episode 153: The 5 Levers of Life Satisfaction with Meghan Krause

Today’s episode is my interview with Meghan Krause, an award-winning, forward-thinking employee wellbeing authority turned coach, entrepreneur, and speaker who has worked with thousands of people to enhance their professional and personal lives. Her work has been featured on Thrive Global and TEDx and she also hosts the Bullshift podcast. 

When Meghan was describing herself prior to her midlife transformation, she said to picture Diane Keaton in Baby Boom, feeling “can't get no satisfaction” despite a surface appearance of success - very similar to the old me except she was about 10 years younger when she experienced her “midlife nadir.” 

She finally listened to her gut instinct and pursued a Masters in Public Health in health promotion and integrative healing therapies. Then she landed her choice gig as the college director of wellbeing. But in this role she found herself increasingly… unwell. Feeling like an imposter and feeling that strong gut instinct still gurgling, saying "Why don't you go out on your own?" So she once again listened and dove head first.

43 years in...from the rocky, unwell road—paved with toxic mold, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, and a bunch of other stuff life threw at her -- her well being is born from wisdom of experience, bolstered by all kinds of degrees and certificates, and her soul’s passion of helping others in early midlife get to their own state of wellbeing. Now Meghan helps people navigate life transitions with greater meaning, purpose, and skill. 

In this interview, we covered a wide variety of interesting topics including:

• The meaning behind “Bullshift,” the name of her podcast
• Her health crisis that led to back-to-back emergency room visits and her long journey of healing
• The science of tapping and hypnosis
• The importance of accessing your intuition and a fun, easy way to get answers from your subconscious 

And most importantly, she shares the 5 levers of life satisfaction that she talks about at the very end, which was a great way to end a fascinating conversation!
