I was fully planning on waiting until the fall to re-launch my podcast. This will be about the 900th iteration of the theme of my show since starting the pod way back in 2021 but seeing that I am now here on Substack and I am writing two books and have an incredible redirection happening in my business; I felt no time better than the present to just go for it!
While Iām still stumbling to find my way around the āStack and all of its incredible capabilities I wanted to just drop this here to prove that we donāt need to figure things out before we take the leap, pass āgoā, and dive headfirst into the wild Unknown!
This little preview episode is just a teaser about what to expect in upcoming episodes.
Welcome to The Brand That Breathes.
Iām Meg Pearson.
Over the last twenty-five years, Iāve been a television director, yoga teacher, chef, retreat facilitator, breathwork practitioner, entrepreneur, author, mother, and professional pivoter.
Iāve started over more times than I can count.
Some of those pivots were exciting. Some were devastating. Some I chose. Some chose me.
Along the way Iāve navigated eating disorder recovery, bankruptcy, grief, sobriety, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the uncomfortable realization that a life can look successful on paper while feeling completely disconnected from who you really are.
This podcast was born from a simple belief:
That becoming yourself is rarely a straight line.
Each week, weāll explore the messy, beautiful process of reinvention through honest conversations about identity, business, creativity, spirituality, recovery, relationships, purpose, and what it actually means to build a life that fits.
Youāll hear solo episodes, conversations with fascinating guests, audio essays from my Substack, behind-the-scenes reflections from my upcoming books, and the kinds of discussions that usually happen after everyone else has gone home and the masks finally come off.
This is the podcast for women who are too smart for self-help b******t but still want a more meaningful life.
Because your identity isnāt your logo.
It isnāt your website.
It isnāt the version of yourself youāve been performing for the world.
Your brand is the living, breathing expression of who youāre becoming.
And if youāre in the middle of a reinvention, a pivot, a breakdown, a breakthrough, or simply asking bigger questions than you used to, youāre in the right place.
Welcome to The Brand That Breathes.
If you enjoy The Brand That Breathes and youād like to support the show, the best way to help is by leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
Reviews help more women discover these conversations, and they tell the podcast platforms that this kind of honest, nuanced discussion is worth sharing.
As a thank you, Iām giving away my upcoming mini-course, The Brand That Breathes: A Four-Step Process for Reconnecting to Who Youāre Becoming.
This isnāt a branding course.
Itās an identity course.
A chance to pause, take stock of where you are, and reconnect with the woman youāre evolving into beneath the expectations, roles, responsibilities, and noise.
Whether youāre navigating a career change, a relationship shift, motherhood, an empty nest, a business pivot, recovery, reinvention, or simply feeling the pull toward something more authentic, this work is for you.
If youāve left a review, head over to instagram and send me a screenshot , and Iāll make sure you receive the course when itās released.
