    Welcome!
    I’m so glad you’re here!

    Are you ready to make a big life change? Perhaps you’re ready to shift gears or “level up”? Or maybe you are ready to cut ties and move beyond where you’re at now? 

    Are you an entrepreneur, business executive, professional athlete, and other high-profile individual who:

    • Is ready to make a big change in your life and may be feeling conflicted about it, or the people around you don’t want you to change?
    • Is feeling GREAT in one major area of life and not-so-great in another?
    • Is ready to “level up” and need to clear some limiting beliefs, be less critical of yourself, and learn to love, accept, and nurture yourself more effectively so you stop getting in your own way?
    • Feels like an impostor and can’t get beyond it?
    • Is looking for someone who can meet you where you’re at and help you get where you are wanting to go… even if you might not know where that is yet?

    Let’s Get Started!

    Working with me, you will see new perspectives, possibilities, and options. You will settle into, embrace, and speak your truth. You will feel lighter, have more clarity, and be more confident and grounded than perhaps you’ve ever been.

    When you show up this way in the world, you invite the people you interact with to meet you there. Sometimes they can, and sometimes they can’t. That will just be more information for you to have clarity on how to live most optimally and decide your next steps.

    What’s wonderful about these new perspectives, skills and tools is that they will transcend all areas of your life.

    We can work one-on-one in-person, or virtually, or you are welcome to join one of my year-long classes  for like-minded folks working to optimize their lives. The next class begins in September 2021!

    Together, here’s what we can accomplish:

    • Better understand yourself, your thoughts, your feelings, your actions, and what you need in any situation.
    • View situations from multiple perspectives so you can see all your options.
    • Stop wasting energy on things you can’t control.
    • Acknowledge and practice self-compassion in a way that benefits you and everyone around you.
    • Learn to set boundaries in ways that feel best to you.
    • Communicate and connect with people in an effective, respectful, and kind way.

    Ready to get started? Excellent! Let’s go! 

    I’m looking forward to working with you.

    P.S. Did you know I spoke at Creative Mornings Louisville about Silencing Fear?! It’s like a TED Talk for the creative world! Watch it HERE!

    Aaaahhh... The Art of Living... 🎨 "All the ar Aaaahhh... The Art of Living... 🎨  "All the art of living
lies in the fine mingling
of letting go
and holding on."  -Havelock Ellis  I think a lot about the "fine mingling" or the "delicate balance" or the "dance" between multiple things at once. 💯🤣  For instance, all relationships have a tension or balance between things that we like or dislike or things that work well or are a challenge. 🤪  So too, we also have multiple feelings or emotions of an event, say, the loss of a loved one. We are sad they are gone, yet relieved they are no longer suffering. 🌿  This plays into my "Yes, And" philosophy of living life I gleamed from my days of improv comedy.  Yes, I love you, And sometimes I find you difficult to be around. 🤣🤣🤣  When we limit ourselves to dichotomous thinking, we miss the Rainbow of Options. Getting stuck in black/white, right/wrong, good/bad thinking sets us and other up for failure rather than success.  If we choose "right" then others are "wrong". When our "right" doesn't work out, we feel like we have failed.  If instead we look at the whole rainbow 🌈 of options we COULD choose, we are limitless. 95% of the options may be things you would never actually do, but at least they are there for you if you need them. 🌈  The Rainbow of Options gives you more flexibility rather than keeping you rigid and binary. Much of mental illness can be due to rigidity while mental well-being can lie in the ability for have flexibility of thinking. Think: Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset! 💡  #mindfulness #mindfulnessmindset #life #art #living #letgo #lettinggo #holding #holdingon #limitless #freedom #dichotomy #rigid #flexibility #flexible #Growth #growthmindset #fixedmindset

    🌿February Vibes!!🌿 "Let every Exhale Remind 🌿February Vibes!!🌿  "Let every Exhale
Remind you
You are worthy
Of Surrender."
-Morgan Harper Nichols  Wow!! That's wonderfully deep and a great reminder for letting go!! 💯  On our Exhale we are letting go of our breath, surrendering and trusting that  there will be an inhale to fill up our lungs with the next breath.  The word worthy caught my attention. Perhaps it caught yours too. The idea that we are worthy of surrender speaks to me as "you deserve to let shit go" or even a permission to let shit go. 👍  I've been re-reading "Awakening the Buddah Within" by Lama Surya Das📚 and have been reminded of the idea that we suffer (get anxious, angry, annoyed) due to our attachments, especially to ideals and expectations.  I have noticed in my own life, when I allow people to be exactly who they are, letting go of who I think they "Should" be, I'm not so irritated or frustrated by them. This allows me to be a more at peace and less irritated or frustrated with that person because I'm not wasting my energy thinking the person might changebor that I could evennget them to change. 💯  For years, a practice of mine is to embrace that I only have control over myself. I have no control over anyone else. I can choose how I want to show up with others when I experience them as difficult. I choose not to allow myself to react to their current difficult nature even while my heart is racing and I want to scream. I choose not to hand over my power to that person or allow their behavior to control me. 🤔  Instead, I imagine as if they just threw me a rope in an effort to play tug-of-war with me. I get to decide if I pick up that rope and play their game or not. My goal is to notice the rope and think, "Well, there's that" then redirect my attention and the conversation in a different direction. 😉  This has not been easy for me. I have been at this particular practice for 12+ years and still struggle at times. Perhaps you my give it a go! Let me know how it goes for you or if you have questions!! 🌈❤  #worthy #worthiness #worth #worthwhile #surrender #release #letgo #lettinggo #forgiveness #Exhale #deserve #welldeserved #mindfulness @morganharpernichols

    Me. 😎 Au naturale. 😁 #nofilter Soaking up Me. 😎  Au naturale. 😁 #nofilter  Soaking up some warm California sun. 🌞  Basking in gratitude. 😊  Our Nurturing the High Achiever's Spirit Retreat at @indianspringscalistoga ❤ was even better than I could have imagined. I have dreamed of hosting a retreat at a fabulous location for as long as I can remember. And now I have. 🤩  Being a high achiever, an entrepreneur, a leader, a CEO, I know how hard I tend to push myself and how critical I can be of myself. Through my own therapy, self-care,🧘‍♀️ mindfulness, and meditation, I've been successful at increasing positive self talk and decreasing doubt, guilt, and criticism.  My goal with this retreat, and my monthly class, has been to guide other high achievers who are looking to be less hard on themselves and more kind and gentle with themselves. Pushing and forcing may have worked for us in our 20s and even 30s, but as we round into our 40s and even 50s we begin to reassess if we need to keep doing things the same way we've done them, or perhaps it's time to shake shit up a bit. 💯  If you are noticing yourself reassessing your work, your relationships, or even your location, good for you! It means you are being mindful of what all your options are. You may not truly entertain most of those options, however the more options you give yourself, the less stuck you'll feel.🌿  And if you are stuck, no problem! That's what I'm here for!! 💯 After a conversation or two with me, you'll have more clarity and focus on your path forward. ➡️ And you'll feel calmer, lighter, and more peaceful. ✌️  Does this sound like something you could use?

    Embracing and Expanding
    the Entrepreneurial Spirit

    Whether you're a business owner, an aspiring business owner, a business executive, or creative, you're likely an out-of-the-box thinker.

    Looking for clarity, peace, or guidance?
    You've come to the right place.


    Hey there! Megan B. Bartley here.

    Are you “SHOULDING” all over yourself?!

    I invite you to begin noticing how often you say or think the word “should”

    and see how that feels. Then rest assured that you can shift the shoulds to coulds.
