BLOG
I have a LOT of blog posts to look through! If you’re looking for something specific, like “shadow work” or “text mapping”, I suggest using Google with your search words and “ubu skills”.
NOTE: I’ve recently migrated my free content to the tools section of this website. If a link to a free guide is broken, you’ll find the resource in tools.
Fake It ‘til You Make It? Hard Pass.
I keep seeing this come up from biz leaders, and each time I literally grimace.
These people aren’t trying to cause you harm! But what they are doing is adding fuel to your Imposter Syndrome.
Confidence Vs. Bravado
I couldn't hold this topic in any longer. I've been sitting on it for months (if not years). It has to do with leadership and it has to do with how we see others, and how we see ourselves.
And it's difficult. And it's going to piss some of you off.
But honestly, I'm walking straight into my fears this year. (I'm still working through wanting everyone to like me.)
10 Shadow Work Questions
“These are tall promises, Megan.”
Yep, I know. I don’t fuck around with words or with actions.
The reason you’re afraid to tell your boss to stop belittling you in front of your coworkers is because you have deep rooted fears that you haven’t confronted that work inside, in the shadows, to keep you from growing.

If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ll now have some tools in your toolbox that you can use for presentations, office meetings, difficult conversations, general interactions.
And now I want to talk about the ways that you can use music, especially at this point in history.
Life Lessons from a No-Travel Vacation
Here’s what I learned from vacation:
Cancel everything that isn’t vacation. I still took some calls and had sessions, and I wish I’d just completely cleared my plate so that I could sink into the fluffy, nurturing cushions of relaxation and brain drain.

Luck and Work
Yesterday, I found a four leaf clover. I have been actively looking for one for months. (It became my new thing to look for after PM Harper took the penny out of regular rotation.)
And then just like that, on a lawn with thousands of clovers, I noticed it.
How To Prepare For A Job Interview
You’ve been pounding the pavement (or… what’s the internet equivalent? Clicking the keys?) searching for a job. This might be your first job, or you might be looking for something better. Regardless, you’ve secured a job interview. Congratulations!
And now the preparation begins.
