Welcome back, beautiful soul! 

I'm here with another powerful episode of Raw & Radiant 🎙️ [tune in here magical soul]

In this episode I am joined by my friend Meghan Weir to share her really powerful and inspiring journey. She is a spiritual catalyst whose story is a beacon of hope and transformation. Her journey emphasizes the vital role of breathwork in healing trauma and regulating the nervous system.

Discovering the Healing Power of Breathwork

Meghan's journey began with a struggle against an 18-year eating disorder. Through perseverance and self-discovery, she found breathwork, a powerful tool that helped her regulate her nervous system and heal from within. As Meghan says, "Your breath is your greatest and most underutilized tool." Breathwork is more than just deep breathing—it's a practice that can change your life by reducing anxiety, improving emotional health, and enhancing overall well-being.

Prioritizing Self-Care

Meghan emphasizes that taking time for self-care is crucial. Simple practices like deep breathing, meditation, and daily movement can significantly impact your mental and physical health. Meghan's story reminds us that self-care is not a luxury but a necessity.

The Transformative Power of Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga played a significant role in Meghan's healing. This practice combines breathwork, chanting, and movement to release emotional and energetic blocks, making it a powerful tool for self-awareness and healing. Meghan describes Kundalini yoga as a practice that helps you drop into your body and clear out the unconscious mind's clutter.

Embracing and Healing the Inner Child

A pivotal part of Meghan's healing journey was reconnecting with her inner child. By showing compassion and love to her younger self, she healed deep wounds and rediscovered her intuitive gifts. Meghan encourages us to nurture our inner child and celebrate small victories along our healing journey.

Building Self-Trust Through Breathwork

Building self-trust is essential for developing intuition and inner guidance. Meghan advises starting with small, achievable goals and celebrating each success. Over time, these micro-habits build a strong foundation of self-trust, empowering us to listen to and trust our inner voice. Breathwork plays a critical role in this process, helping to calm the mind and body.

Welcome back to another, I know, going to be a powerful AF podcast with my friend, Megan Ware. We recently crossed paths not too long ago from a mutual friend of ours, Jess Bergio. And I know whoever Jess brings into her space has this beautiful awareness and this beautiful essence and this light that Jess brings through with her guests and bringing Megan into my space full on. I've got full body goosebumps right now, truth bumps. Just please welcome Megan here. There's just not words. Words are just being tripped over right now. We connected our energies before we got onto this space and the Zoom call. And like, there's just so much flying through me. So I just want to say welcome, Megan. Thank you for being here.

Meghan Weir: Oh my goodness, my skin is crawling. Truth bumps for sure. Thank you so much for having me. It's an absolute honor.

Victoria Starr: Thank you. So just to bring you all into the awareness of Megan Space, she helps you cultivate an internal environment that radiates vitality and attracts beauty, but she is so much more. She's also a spiritual catalyst. She's a business mentor, a rapid resolution coach, a hypnotherapist, a kundalini yoga instructor. And I know there's so many more things and titles that we can drop into this space, but please know that this energy that you will feel in this podcast from Megan is her light is so vibrant and so bright that we're just gonna have this organic conversation together. Yeah, just flow with such beauty and elegance. So thank you for just bringing your light to the world, Megan.

Meghan Weir: Hmm. Thank you. I am literally flooded with shivers. And I just absolutely loved how you got us dropped into today's podcast. And I was like, literally moved to tears with your power. So it's an energetic match for sure, to say the least. So

Victoria Starr: Yeah, and for those of you that can't see we are both wearing black, there's something she's in the Arctic and I'm in the heat. So we're definitely connected earrings and colors. And yeah, so let's just talk about where you are in the country for right now. I think let's just give some people my community just a visual of where you are.

Meghan Weir: Well, I just got home from Arizona. We were away for a week and we're in Scottsdale and then Sedona. And I just arrived back home yesterday. So I'm back on Vancouver Island in Canada.

Victoria Starr: It's so magical and so beautiful there. I know for me, I've been there in the summertime, but no thank you for winter.

Meghan Weir: In all fairness, for Canada, we definitely have the best weather. It's about 10 degrees. I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit, but it's very mild for winter.

Victoria Starr: Well, 10 degrees is very cold in my world. Currently, I am in Baja, Mexico, sitting on the beach on the Sea of Cortez and it's definitely warm here. So take me into, I know our Paso is just going down your Instagram and we, you and I speak a lot of similar language. We talk about regulating your nervous system. We talk about somatic work. We talk about energy and healing. So can you bring my listeners into your world of what you or how you hold space for other women, other men, other souls to fully come online? Yeah.

Meghan Weir: Well, I think I'll go back in time, if that's okay with you, to share what brought me forth to the work that I facilitate today, because I do my best to always practice what I preach and embody what I teach. And I remember way back when, when I was really young, I was deeply connected. I am highly empathic, intuitive, sensitive. And some things happened where my innocence was stripped away from me. And I learned to disconnect from my physical body. And therefore I learned to disconnect from my gifts because I felt like I felt too much. And it felt like I knew too much. And I didn't know how to navigate through that, especially after experiencing some significant trauma at a young age. I learned to become dysregulated, disconnected, dissociated. And that brought me into a space of developing a really, really bad eating disorder of which I had for 18 years. So I would come in and out of binging and purging, I would come in and out of restriction, anorexia. And With that came a lot of depression, as you could imagine, anxiety, suicidal ideation, like I really just didn't want to be here anymore. And so that kind of led me into the path of just absolute, just feeling completely empty. And I've come in and out, if you will, of like, trying different therapies to get myself help. And it wasn't until I had just graduated from nursing school, and how I made it through that, I don't know. But I did. And my dad was like, Why aren't you working? Why aren't you applying for work? And I was like, I honestly can't help anybody until I help myself. And that was like the pivotal moment where I was like, rock bottom, I need help. And so that kind of opened up the door to me going to my first counselor. And I know now how to interpret it. But I didn't know back then, that it was out of his scope of practice to help me. And so he said, I'm sorry, I can't help you. But I will refer you to an E-order clinic. So in my mind, I was like, oh, I'm too much.

Victoria Starr: Then I got part of which can which can create shame and guilt. Oh, yeah.

Meghan Weir: Building up in your system. I rolled even more. And then I went to the eating disorder clinic. And because I wasn't as I wasn't as sick as other individuals. I was, I was declining the spot. So then that made me feel like I'm not enough. So then the eating disorders can gain worse and worse and worse. I then went to my doctor and she prescribed me on antidepressants and side note, I have a background of nursing for almost close to 20 years. And so I always know there's a time and place for medication. So I don't want to take that away from the conversation. Yeah. But she put me on antidepressants. And so thankfully, there was that glimmer of hope from that younger version of myself that was highly intuitive, highly empathic, that was like, it's not the medication I need, I need to get to the root as to why I have the anxiety, why I have been diagnosed with depression, why I have had this eating disorder going on for so many years. Um, but I kept going back, kept going back and she kept increasing my dose and I was no longer in the building. Megan was like, just this blank state, like just not here. Thankfully, like I said, I trusted my intuition. Somehow she came through, my inner child came through and was just like, we gotta, we gotta shift gears here. So I ended up detoxing from that medication. And I don't say that lightly. I was literally getting electric shocks coming off the medication. And I was like, there has to be a better way, there has to be something that I can do to get myself past this to heal through what I've been through. And so that kind of led me into working with a somatic therapist, I started working with hypnotherapists, I started working actually with coaches that were trained in neuro linguistic programming. And so that's when I started to really move beyond what I was experiencing. I was able to heal through the trauma, heal through the emotional and energetic blocks of which I call, also people say limiting beliefs, limiting decisions. Yeah. That was the catalyst to really get myself to where I am today. Yay.

Victoria Starr: Yeah. Wow. There's so much to unpack there, Megan. I mean, just like first, like sending your inner child, your younger version of you such grace and such compassion for the journey and the experiences that she grew through. but holding her in the space of love and comfort and safety because that is what she was seeking, right? Like, see me, don't see me, see me, don't see me. And then, so I just want to send her just this massive amounts of love and this massive amounts of just this, I see this visual of just hugging on her and holding her and loving her and knowing that she's still safe now like you have done so much work but really recognizing that that is a journey that you had to had to experience, I say that not in any like, that's what we have to go through, but like you went through so that you can become the version of who you are. And there's such power in seeing that you had shut down through these safety mechanisms as you built around yourself as you grew up. that your empathic version of you retreated. She became very small and hidden. And like, I see this box where she's been encapsulated, but somehow at that moment, she knew that she needed to come out. She knew she needed to speak up to save you, to save your life, so to say.

SPEAKER_01: Mm hmm.

Meghan Weir: Very much so. Very much so. And yeah, I mean, I have I, I received that. So thank you. It's, it's definitely been a journey, but also a huge component of my story and a huge part of the work that I facilitate today within myself, right to bring her with me. And to also guide my clients in healing with their inner child as well. So

Victoria Starr: Yeah, what a what a beautiful gift and that I mean that's part of the we get to it and I know you say this quite often and I love that you say this is that you can't As me being a breathwork facilitator and you as the spiritual catalyst that you are is that A, you can't guide someone into healing without having gone through the work yourself, but yet we are not healers. We are not somebody's guru. We are simply the space holder and this love and this trust. And I have come in my own story to recognize that all I deeply desired as a younger person was to be seen, to be heard, and to be loved. And that's what you and I are here to do now as we continuing our growth and evolution is to hold space for other people to be seen, to be heard, and to be loved. Yes, very much so.

Meghan Weir: Very much so.

Victoria Starr: So I know you love talking about regulating your nervous system. How for you take us in a day of like something, all right, so you just came back from Sedona and maybe there are some flight issues, your nervous system gets heightened. Take us through like a journey of how you regulate your nervous system.

Meghan Weir: It's fascinating that you say that because we went with five other couples and we were, two of the couples made it through due to the fog and the weather. Three other couples weren't able to make it, but we were all like in this heightened state. Are we going to make our flight? Are we going to make the connecting flight? Our friends are texting us. So it was just like a lot of energy, right? And there's already a lot of energy when you're traveling. And for me, I'm just like, oh my gosh, there's so many people here. I'm feeling all the things. all my practices in place to protect myself in that respect as well.

Victoria Starr: Yeah. And side note, I did not know you had troubles getting back to Canada from Arizona. Okay. That was just a download. So, okay. Continue.

Meghan Weir: Yeah, so it's fascinating. It's so ingrained in me now of what I do that I don't even realize that I'm doing it. I do when I have a conscious awareness, but I'm constantly focusing on long deep breathing, like my breath, like I just deepen my breath. That's my greatest. I always say your breath is your greatest and most underutilized tool, right? So when we're in that anxious state, we're breathing very shallowly. Like we're not taking those long deep breath. So I find myself when I'm in those places, like I'm really just focusing on long, deep breathing. I often am tapping myself, right? Just unconsciously, I'm just constantly tapping myself to like, regulate and self soothe. But yeah, those are the major things that I do. Of course, I have my morning routine that I always do in the morning to kind of get myself into state each and every day. But yeah, traveling is its own little entity. That's for sure.

Victoria Starr: Mm hmm. Yeah, for sure. Definitely it is. Yeah, especially when you when you go international too. So what just came to me is that this practice that you do each and every morning, like this is an, and calming your nervous system as you're, as you're flying or whatever else, if, if you're driving and you get cut off or, you know, when your nervous system gets out of regulation and it becomes dysregulated, like that is something that you had to learn in your journey. So can you take us back into when that became into your awareness of like, Oh, it's my breathing that is, under regulated or is I'm not aware of how I'm breathing? Like when was that interwoven in your journey of healing?

Meghan Weir: It's so funny that you say that because I'm actually creating a program on it. Because part of my story also is that I'm now it will be 11 years in June that I'm free from the eating disorder, free from anxiety, free from depression. Do I still get bouts of anxiety? Of course, but I can self regulate now. But I remember I was just coming in and out of the out of the eating disorder. And then one day it was like everything clicked, right? Of course, that's not just how it happened. It's a compound effect. But one day I was finally like, you know, the binging and purging became less and less and less. And then one day I was like, it was just like full stop. And part of what I didn't realize, people would ask, like, well, how did you do it? I'm like, I don't really know. I'm a 2 in human design, so it's like I don't know what I don't. I know what I know, and I assume everybody knows. Does that make sense? So I was like, well, a huge part of my journey was I religiously went to yoga. And it was more of the yin yoga. It wasn't like, it wasn't like intense, like vinyasa to like, you know, because I was addicted to exercise as well. But it was more of the low slower paced, like the yin, the yang yin. And the meditation that was really a huge catalyst for me to get back into my body to get out of my head, and to really focus on you know, the pranayama and to just be in that space. So that was a huge component of my journey was yoga and meditation and still is to today. And that's why I'm obsessed with kundalini yoga because I remember the first time I went there, I was like, what the hell is this? What are we doing? I can't wait to get out of here. My friends had my friend had the key to the car. I didn't drive there. And I was like, if I had the key to the car, I'd be because it was just like, felt so foreign. But I had no other choice to get out of my head into my body. And I had the most profound experience. And so I never thought I would be a yoga teacher. I'd never thought like, oh, one day I'll be a kundalini yoga teacher and meditation teacher, but here I am today. And it's been a huge, huge piece of my healing journey because it's a lot, it's somatic, right? You don't have to relive anything. Your body is able to release on a deep cellular level without you having to relive any experiences. So it's so profound, so powerful.

Victoria Starr: Yeah. And, and so for those of you that don't know, yin yoga is very, a slow moving and there's they we hold the postures for you know three to five minutes and just allow the body to be breathed like literally like what's coming to me is pigeon pose and or figure four and like you you because as women we hold a lot of trauma generational trauma in our hips and in that part of our body, in that womb space. And so when we're in that pigeon pose, or when we're in figure four, and we send our breath into the hip joint, we allow the expansion to happen. We allow the breath to do the healing. And that's, gosh, I got, Megan, you're giving me so many goosebumps today. I love this conversation. So that's a lot of what yin is. So tell us what kundalini yoga is, because that may be new to some of the people in Maya community.

Meghan Weir: Kundalini is a technology so it's prescribed for various outcomes, but we incorporate a lot of breath work like if you were to say. I, when I think of Kundalini, it's definitely breathwork. Uh, we chant, we hold postures for an extended period of time. You're working with specific meridian points. Uh, it works on regulating your nervous system. It balances your glandular system, and it also clears out the garbage from your unconscious mind. So it's, I would say it's super potent and super powerful. Um, but it includes a lot of breath work, a lot of chanting, a lot of, um, mantra, a lot of meditation. Yeah. So it, but it's a very, very powerful practice. You know, I not, not to, I mean, this, this might invite people in and might actually invite people not to try it, but I have been able to release so much on my mat and it's been so profound. Honestly, I have shed so many tears on my mat and I just feel so much brighter and lighter after each time I practice.

Victoria Starr: Thank you for that. I can visually see that. I have such a clear vision of the breath and how it's working and how you're chanting because you're so in the moment that you're chanting and your mind can't go anywhere else because you're chanting you're focusing on the words and then the words become a vibration and then that vibration within the body creates this energy and then like that's all part of the breath and that's all part of the healing and like now I just see like almost like your body is like in like expanding, maybe even blowing up to a sense because you're receiving all this nutrient and all this beauty of the yoga practice and of kundalini in itself. So thank you for that because I have never done a kundalini practice. So it is definitely something that I know is gonna be on my radar. Thank you for being in my space. So that is beautiful. And when, when you first found Kundalini Yoga, were you there? Because I know there's so many Western modalities of yoga. You know, there is the vinyasa, and then we have the power yoga, and then we have this yoga, and then we have the, I mean, there's just so many levels. And I know for me, the vinyasa, the movement, and just really being flowy and feminine with the movement, with the divine, is where the magic for me comes. And so in kundalini yoga, there is that practice also.

Meghan Weir: Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's not as free flow. Like I mentioned, like sometimes we'll hold postures 11 minutes. Uh, it is, it is a bit extreme in the sense of, but I always, from my approach, like I always say, like I teach Kundalini from a very feminine aspect. So I always encourage my students to listen to their body, take breaks when needed. You can envision yourself doing the posture. You can modify as needed. Um, but I, yeah, I definitely take more of a feminine approach, uh, and a new age approach, if you will. Um, But it's very powerful because it's working on really breaking free from emotional and energetic blocks. It's working with your chakra system. It's working with meridian points. It's very, very powerful. It's known as the yoga of awareness. So it's meant to bring forth more self-awareness and enhance your emotional intelligence. And of course, bring forth more of your own inner guidance, your intuition.

Victoria Starr: Yeah, so for you, how did that come into the binge and emotional eating or the purging and the past trauma and then the clearing of the way? Could you visually see it? energetically could you feel it like what became this awareness within your body of this let's just call it an awakening or this this knowing where your intuition came back online?

Meghan Weir: No it definitely was an awakening and um and for some also that that can feel very overwhelming because you really realize how powerful you are right and that's that's why I love Kundalini so much is because I went outside of myself for years To find the answers I look outside myself to seek approval right to seek love to seek guidance to seek permission and since kundalini has come into my life like I would say drop into yourself source power and that's what I'm so passionate about. supporting my clients with is because everything you need is within you now. And I, just like Marianne Williamson says, it's our light that we're most afraid of, right? It's not our darkness, it's not our shadows, it's our light. And so that's what Kundalini has really brought forth to my life is just acknowledging like how truly fucking powerful I am, right? And to anchor that in through the breath, through movement, through mantra.

Victoria Starr: And I know something that you're very passionate about and you've said it already in this space is prioritizing yourself. So explain, yeah, explain that. Yeah.

Meghan Weir: I used to always, I was so codependent and that I would just, I just wanted the approval. I wanted the love. I was like in the space of constantly giving to everybody else, but especially in the work. And that goes back to what I said with nursing, like I can't help anybody until I help myself. And that is a motto I live by. And so if I am not serving myself first, like how can I how can I give to anybody else, whether it's my family, my husband, my clients. And so every morning I'm in my studio here, I come out and do my sadhana, my daily spiritual practice, and set myself up for success every day. Sometimes I have more time than other times, but I always am intentional about serving myself first, because I couldn't imagine not being in the space I am today without doing the work for myself first.

Victoria Starr: Yeah, for me, for you, for us.

SPEAKER_01: Mm hmm.

Meghan Weir: Yeah, very much so. Very much so. Yeah. And, you know, it's easy. Our mind will tell us, oh, you don't have time or you're too busy, you know, and that's you know, I don't know whose quote it is. I say it's Buddha, but whether it's Buddha or not, that's when if you don't have time, that's when you need it the most. Right.

Victoria Starr: Exactly. Yeah. That's what I tell people leading them through a breathwork session, too, is that when that anxiety and when that fear comes up prior to the breathwork session, that's when you need to do it the most, because that's when something's ready. to be transformed or a breakthrough is ready to happen. So it's like really leaning into, and it's gifting yourself that time. It's gifting yourself that love because you wouldn't want your partner to treat yourself the way you're treating yourself, right? So why are we treating ourselves that way?

SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.

Meghan Weir: Yeah. So very much. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, movement for me is now medicine. It's, it's, if I ever feel like frustrated or like just kind of blocked, it's like, how can I move my body? Because when I move the body, that's when I can get back into the body and that's when I can create from that energetic space. Right. Um, but yeah, movement is medicine. Movement is what creates momentum. So.

Victoria Starr: Yeah, it's moving that stuck energy and moving, moving the shit through, right? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01: Yes.

Victoria Starr: Yeah. So I know you have this beautiful quote that says, um, a prayer is talking to source and intuition is source talking back to you. It's developing your intuition or our intuition. Can you give us a little bit of insight on how you guide your clients, your community, on how to develop your intuition? If somebody doesn't know, like for me for the longest time, and probably if I could say, you know, for you, your intuition was just stifled. My intuition was so far behind me that I didn't even know what she looked like or, you know, even hear or, you know, remember what her voice was like. So, like, how do you guide your clients and your community into developing their intuition?

Meghan Weir: Mm-hmm. Well, as I mentioned, when I was younger, I was highly intuitive, highly empathic. And then world life happened, right? And so that was stripped away. And it felt unsafe to be in that space. And because I lacked that trust factor within myself, that's kind of what I guide my clients to do now is to rebuild that self-trust. And how do we rebuild that self-trust? we show up for what we say we're going to do. Right. And it's just like those little those little promises that you break to yourself is how you start to lose self-trust. It's how do you lose that disconnection with your intuition, with your self-source power. And so it's as simple as I am going to meditate today for one minute or I'm going to go for a walk today for two minutes. Like, it doesn't have to be this big, audacious goal that you're setting for yourself, but it's starting to make those micro habits become macro. And that's how you start to develop that self trust. And when we have that self trust, we're able to go within. And that's how we're able to start to listen to our inner guidance and to trust our inner guidance, right? Because if we don't have that foundation of, of, of really learning to trust those nudges, to trust the whispers, to trust the, I call it soul's truth. When your skin's crawling, the truth bumps, then we just, we have that disconnect. But when we are able to show up for ourselves on that micro level, That is where you can start to build that intuition and trust your inner guidance.

Victoria Starr: Yep. It's having that quick shift. And if it's like you said, one minute or the 30 seconds or just sitting down, like sometimes I offer my clients just the opportunity, I'm like, go in your closet and sit. shut everything out, just go in the closet and sit, find the breath. Where are you breathing from? Like we talked about already, are you breathing from your chest, which is your fight or flight? Are you angst or are you breathing from your belly? And how can you shift that? So how can you create that one second awareness? How can you take that two minute walk? And that's all building in your intuition. I love that. And that's waking her back up because we all have it. We all have it. The world?

Meghan Weir: encapsulates it. It does. And we're taught at a very young age to go outside of ourselves, right? We're taught to not go within, to ask for approval, ask your parents for approval. Yes, obviously, you know, I'm going to keep it on the wider spectrum here. But we're taught at a very young age to go outside of ourselves to seek the answers. But like I said, everything we need is within us now. And it's learning to cultivate that inner sense of trust and connection. And so when we choose to do these micro habits, I always encourage my clients to celebrate themselves after they've done it. So it's like – just like you would praise your dog, you want to praise yourself because you're stacking habits over time. You want to let your inner child know that it's safe to be held. It's safe to be loved. It's safe to be seen, right? You want to let yourself know that it's awesome that you're showing up for yourself and celebrate that, right? And so one thing I always encourage, whether you're my client or you're my friend or a student, it's like get into the ritual of honoring and acknowledging and celebrating yourself each moment of every single day, because that is going to allow you to continue to build that sense of self-trust and be able to trust your inner guidance. So what are those celebrations look like? I'm so proud of you, Megan. I'm so proud of you for working out when you just were coming up with a million reasons why you couldn't work out. I'm so proud of you. You should see my journal. It's hilarious because in there, it's like I'm constantly celebrating myself. I'm constantly acknowledging and honoring all the things I'm doing. And that's what it's allowed me to get into that space. So whether you're verbalizing out loud, you're just saying it in your mind, or just like moving your body to say, Hey, it's safe to be in this space. It's safe to show up for yourself. It's safe to be seen. It's safe to grow to that next level, right? So whether you're showing your body, which I'm obviously like, that's a huge piece of the work that I do, whether you're saying it aloud or saying your mind or journaling it out, it's just a beautiful way to celebrate yourself.

Victoria Starr: Yeah, I love the verbal affirmations, that verbal energetic space because you hear it. So in my breathwork sessions, I invite in the affirmations and I invite people to say them out loud because you're excreting that energy out of your mouth and then that energy becomes this I don't know, I just see this like amoeba or this movement outside of you and then your body, your skin absorbs that energy too, right? And you hear your own words. There's so much power in hearing our own voice. And then when we put that on top of celebrating ourself,

Meghan Weir: There's so much power right there. A hundred percent. Yeah. Uh, in neuro-linguistic programming, that's called incantation. So you're verbalizing like an I am statement and you're moving your body. So you're letting your whole vessel, your mind, body, soul, spirit. No, like this is, this is who we are. This is the new identity that we're becoming or that we already are or that we're calling in. Um, but yeah, I love incantations. They're so powerful.

Victoria Starr: Okay, neuro-linguistic programming. Okay, NLP. Take us through that for those of you, including myself, not 100% sure what it is.

Meghan Weir: Yeah. Well, that's kind of so back to my story again. So when I started working with like hypnotherapy coaches that were trained in neuro-linguistic programming, that's when I was starting to able to shift because our subconscious mind, our unconscious mind is running the show 95% of the time, and we're not consciously aware of it. So it's creating our thoughts, our feelings, our actions, our behaviors, right? And we're, we're bringing in information from the past, we're bringing information from what's happening right now. And we're also bringing in information from our imagination, which is very creative, right? And then this is what will in the world of rapid resolution therapy is what we call we attach meaning to it. So then this is what creates this feeling of stuckness. And this is where the limiting beliefs stem from, the limiting decisions stem from. And within NLP, this could be happening from this lifetime. It could have happened from past lives. It could be happening from generational. It could be happening from the womb. And so we don't know where all of these blocks and barriers of self are stemming from. And so when we're working with the subconscious mind with NLP, neurolinguistic programming, It's really active in supporting you, busting free, breaking free, again, without having to relive any trauma.

Victoria Starr: I love that. I mean, sometimes that's so heavy. Like our mind doesn't know the difference between, like you said, the past, the current and the future stories that we're projecting. And so just to go through that rewriting in the story or the rewiring of the neurons within the brain and not have to go back to that past trauma. That's such a beautiful gift to the nervous system too.

Meghan Weir: Oh, it is. And that's why I'm, I get obsessed with things and it's so funny. I like have hyper-focus, but RRT rapid resolution therapy, it combines all the modalities I'm trained in, but it's so light. And so like people have overcome significant, significant trauma. Like I'm talking, you name it, whatever it is. And I've seen incredible experiences with Dr. John Connolly that have happened in like a 90 minute session, like supporting someone who had just been raped. Like it's unbelievable how effective it is without getting the person back into the trauma. It's really light. It's super powerful. And it just goes to show the power of working with the subconscious mind. It's unbelievable.

Victoria Starr: If you guys can't hear the passion and enthusiasm and Megan's voice, then you need to turn your volume up because it's so lit. It's coming through my screen right now, just the passion. I can't wait to try it. I'm so excited. And I know that you have microdosing, not in the psilocybin sense, but microdosing of rapid resolution therapy within one of your platforms. You want to drop that into the space. I would love to hold that for you.

Meghan Weir: For sure. Thank you. And your listeners, if they care to join, they can get 20% off of it. So I'll give you the link for that as well. Oh, thank you. But yeah, so again, I practice what I preach, I embody what I teach. And so I am obsessed with RRT. And so it's like, okay, well, when my inner shit's hitting the fan, what can I do to support myself in the moment? And so I found myself going to my rapid resolution therapy techniques. And it was so effective. I was like, interesting. I wonder if I created some audios for myself that I could do as opposed to doing it in my mind, see how effective it would be. And then I had a client who is obsessed with RRT and she's like, what about creating something for me in the moment? I'm like, okay. Like, so then people were asking for it. So I decided to create a program called Rewire and it is like a private podcast that you can plug in and play at any given moment when your inner shit's hitting the fan. And yeah, it's, I've had. success with it personally. I've received great feedback from the clients who are utilizing it. So, but it's using all the modalities within rapid resolution therapy to support you.

Victoria Starr: It's really cool. And so testament here, this was not planned. I do the nighttime one and the nighttime one just like I am so like at peace and so zen and zen and so calm that it's like my my dreams are peaceful. My sleeping is so much better. Like the sleep one for me just hit home. So thank you so much for that.

Meghan Weir: Oh, cool. That's so great to hear. I love it. I'm so happy to hear that. There's one we had a traumatic event happen we have a pond on our property here and I had this every every time it snowed and got icy I would have this visual disturbance of what happened and now this was the first time this like this year we had a really cold front and everything was frozen and snowy and if I went up to the pond during that time I would just have horrible like PTSD like flashbacks and this is the first time because I utilize the visual disturbance one in that rep in Rewire that I'm like clear and free. There's nothing, I can recall the event, but there's no emotion or energy that's connected to it, which is what RRT does, so.

Victoria Starr: That's beautiful. Like what a gift to heal that part of you that was kept being triggered and relived. Yeah, that is so beautiful. Now, I know that you have sought Nam, within your space. Can you bring my listeners into what that is? Because again, pure transparency, curiosity right here. I'm so curious.

Meghan Weir: Yes, Sautnam Sessions.

SPEAKER_01: Mm hmm.

Meghan Weir: Yes. So again, I want to make my work accessible. And I know how much Kundalini has been such a profound, it's made such a profound impact in my life. So I was like, well, why not create a virtual wellness studio that includes breath work. So there's a breath lounge that includes an abundance of different breath work in there. There is, I think there's over 150 practices in the whole Sat Naam sessions. There's power practices. So if you want like a quick hit, like 20 minutes, or there's full Kundalini yoga and meditation classes, like are an hour long. But that is my virtual wellness studio, so it includes the breath work, meditations, power practices, and full cannula practices. And it's $22 a month. I love it. And the thing is that you can plug in and play at any time, right? Yeah. It's not like going to a class in person, which obviously in class, in person is always much better. But it's successful, and I love that you can do it at any time and any day.

Victoria Starr: And anywhere in the world, because you're in Canada. I'm in Baja. I can't come to you physically, but here's how I can show up in your space and and receive your energy and receive your support during these sessions. So thank you for creating that for everyone. And any of you that are listening, like, please, please, please go check out Megan. Like she has so many beautiful practices that can support you and your own healing journey and your own like regulating your own nervous system. Because when we regulate our nervous system, that's when we grow. That's when we expand. When we're in this constant state of fight or flight and our past trauma or our past emotions are running the show, then like we stay stuck.

Meghan Weir: Very much so, very much so. And thank you for sharing that because I actually, my somatic therapist, I went and saw her and she's like, you know what, Megan, as much as I love you, you don't really need to come see me anymore. I was like, what? Why would you say that? She's like, you have all the tools to self-regulate yourself. And I was like, I do. Like I have my Kundalini and I have Rewire. This was all before I created what I did, but that was like, aha. I do have all my things and I don't need to – not that like I still believe in going to see the people that you need to see by all means. But I was like, well, what if I just regulate myself in a moment, right? So that's where kind of Rewire stems in. That's where Sotnum Sessions comes in. So it's really giving you the your own healer to have these tools to support yourself in the moment to self-regulate.

Victoria Starr: Yeah. Yeah. So, so cool. So that you've given people permission to prioritize themselves. Because again, I come back to the quote that you have is no one can heal you, but you. No one can. I mean, we can, we can, So much so thinking that this codependency of a spouse or of a therapist or of your somatic healer can heal you. But no, you get to do the work. That's the shift is that you get to do the work. You get to prioritize yourself. You get to love you.

SPEAKER_01: Mm hmm. Yeah, 100 percent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Victoria Starr: Hmm. All right. Thank you so much for this. And before, um, I want to wrap it up because I want to be mindful of our time here. Is there anything else that you would like to share that I didn't touch on?

Meghan Weir: Just for the beautiful listeners to know that everything they need is within them. Now they have their own power to really support themselves and yes, work with trusted therapists, healers, coaches, mentors, whomever. Um, but it's so important to know that. Yeah, you hold the power. You hold the sacred key to unlock your self-sourced power. Yeah.

Victoria Starr: Yeah. Thank you for that. That is pure wisdom right there. All right. So I told you before we got on to this call, I was going to ask you a question at the very end. And the question is a very raw and vulnerable question. So where it comes from is just the background of me owning what happened to me as a younger person and being able to go back and love on her. So within this context, Megan, if you could go back in time and say something to your younger self, what would you do or how old would you be and what would you say?

Meghan Weir: I would be – I was 5 and I would just let her know like everything is going to be okay. Like although it doesn't feel that way and it feels so unsafe and everything feels like it's been stripped away, you're going to be okay. And it's going to turn out better than you could have ever imagined.

Victoria Starr: I'm sending her, your 5-year-old self, some love also. Thank you for that. So much wisdom, so much juiciness, so much magic in the show. And I'm so, so grateful that you have joined me. And I'm looking forward to having my community, my tribe, be able to be in the same space with you, with your magic. So thank you for being on Raw and Radiant. I'm so grateful that you are here.
