Ready to GROW
without the GRIND?
Join Fuck the Hustle on Substack ... for ambitious women entering their wisdom era.
My name is Megan.
(spelled like “May-ghan” but rhymes with Vegan.)
I'm a Trauma-Informed Executive Coach, a former business consultant with an MBA, and the founder of Fuck the Hustle.
I lived in the hustle/burnout cycle of trying to prove my worth by over-achieving for way too long. I climbed the corporate ladder fast in the early part of my career in the grind of San Francisco’ s financial district, only to decide at 25 that life was too short. I blew it up, cashed out my 401k, and walked away to live in the woods, and then ended up right back in the FiDi a few short years later, busting my ass to prove my worth again.
Then I got an MBA, thinking that would be my ticket to financial freedom and buy my happiness. It didn’t work.
After grad school, I started teaching embodiment practices for public speaking and found a much more authentic path. But I spent years trying to have it both ways, consulting with founders and startups in my "serious business" suit by day, quietly denying the part of me that was calling for something bigger, wilder, more alive.
Turns out, you can't split yourself in half forever.
I’ve been coaching since 2016. After going on my own deep journey of unpacking hustle culture, studying embodiment, healing trauma, and diving deep into the study of masculine and feminine energy, I’ve dedicated my practice to helping you get off the hamster wheel, reclaim mastery over your life and business, and design your next 40 years from a place of freedom and radical wholeness.

Which is exactlyWHY I do
what I do now.
The women I work with are established. You've built something real.
You're done with hustle culture and done proving yourself to anyone.
But you're still running on fumes, because the way most of us were taught to build a business requires you to be a strategist, a marketer, a therapist, a healer, a CFO, and a salesperson all at once, on top of actually being a mother, a partner, a daughter, a friend, a human.
So I'm building something different.
Done-for-you strategy and backend support, so the hustle-iest parts of your business come off your plate. A curated circle of coaches and practitioners, so the deeper work has somewhere to land. Community, so you're not walking the road alone. An ecosystem, so you can finally stop being everything to everyone and stand fully in your zone of genius.
Because when the business stops eating you, the hours come back.
And when the hours come back, your nervous system comes down.
And when your nervous system comes down, presence comes back.
And presence is the whole point.
Your kid doesn't need a bigger quarter. Your partner doesn't need a better launch. The people who've been waiting for the real you to come back in the room just need you back in the room.
That's what this is actually about.
What Makes Me Different?
I’ve been on an unbelievable healing journey to find the most effective tools and the most authentic path. I practice what I preach and I’ve never offered anything to a client that I haven’t experienced the benefits of first-hand.
Over the years, I've invested hundreds of thousands into my own growth (1:1 coaches, mentorship, certifications, masterminds, therapy) and racked up 600+ hours of training in breathwork, trauma-release, and Inner Voice Facilitation on top of the MBA and a decade of coaching. I'm a ClickFunnels Certified Partner (in progress), which means the tech side is handled too.
I've learned the most powerful, time-tested ancient spiritual healing modalities that are backed by the latest neuroscientific research. ('Cause anyone who knows me knows I'm a little woo, but I'm also a uber-nerd who also wants to see proof!)
I tell it like it is. I swear like a sailor. And I don't judge. I hold every experience, no matter how wild or painful or shameful, as sacred. In this way, I consciously create a safe container for everything that you wish to bring to the space we co-create together.
Where This Is Headed
Fuck the Hustle is only one piece of a larger whole – a collective called ALLRISE – because this moment in history is asking something specific of women 40+ who've done the inner work, who've built real bodies of work, and who carry the kind of wisdom the world is starving for.
ALLRISE becomes the container for that. A curated collective of coaches, practitioners, and DFY support so the women who are here to catalyze change can actually focus on catalyzing change, instead of drowning in their own backend. Strategy, embodiment, visibility, community, and the infrastructure to let your wisdom become tangible, visible, and undeniable.
It's in development now. If you want a seat at the table (or just want to know when the doors open), get on the list.
What People Are Saying ...
“When we first spoke, I was struck by how honest and direct Megan was. It was really refreshing! No selling, no BS, just honest and not mincing words. It was like a magnet for me.”
~ M. Connell, Senior Project Director
“Megan allows her strength and vulnerability to have equal impact in all the sessions. She is able to hold the space in a way that I feel safe and supported while also being open and compassionate, which I think is hard for many [male coaches] to do.”
~ D. Marcus, CEO
“Megan is someone who will call me out even when I don’t want to hear it, because it’s the kind thing to do! How can we make positive change in ourselves if we don’t have that mirror? The mirror she’s provided has been invaluable.”
~ M. Crocker, Multinational Executive
“Megan’s approach is simple and straightforward. It can be uncomfortable to confront your stuff, and she made it feel simple and relaxed.”
~S. Lesher, Artist & Graphic Designer
“I feel lighter in my mind and body. I feel more connected and grounded to myself. I feel my intuition coming back. I understand the causal reasons for mental and physical health challenges. I feel relieved, and even happier than I have in many years. I feel less apathy.”
~ H. Hawkins, Mindset Coach
“Megan has a way of communicating with poise, grace and non-judgment, while simultaneously being direct. I admire how she is willing to live out what she teaches.”
~E. Finnell, 7-Figure Online Entrepreneur
“Megan taught me an entirely new way of looking at circumstances, thoughts, and emotions. For the first time in my life, I understand how I am the architect of my own life and feelings -- both good and bad. ”
~T. Leblanc, General Manager
“Some really good emotional release took place. Also fascinating to see where the unconscious mind would go during sessions. Some interesting things came up that undoubtedly came more from the body than the mind. Was grateful to tap more into this.”
~ S. Staker, Crypto Investor
