What happens when you stop letting algorithms shape your life and start becoming the author of your own story?

In this episode of The Story Craft Podcast, Meg introduces Whole Story Living — a human-centered framework for reclaiming your attention, reconnecting with your values, and showing up more fully in your work and relationships.

After growing disillusioned with social media, hustle culture, and performative productivity, Meg shares why she’s treating 2026 as a living research experiment: slowing down, listening more deeply, and rebuilding her rhythms around connection, creativity, and meaning.

You’ll hear:

• Why algorithms quietly shape how we think, create, and relate

• What it means to become the author of your own life instead of a passive consumer

• The origin of Whole Story Living — and how it blends storytelling, leadership, and embodied presence

• Simple practices for reclaiming your mornings, your voice, and your inner narrative

• How small, intentional habit shifts can restore confidence and clarity

This episode is both a personal reflection and an invitation — especially for women leaders, creatives, and thoughtful humans who feel tired of being optimized and ready to feel alive again.

If you’ve been craving slower mornings, deeper connection, and a more honest relationship with your own story, this conversation is for you.
