Stepping Into Your Light - Meghan Pearson

In this podcast episode, Cassandra meets with Meg Pearson. Meg talks about how she came from a small town in Ontario to how she is now living in Costa Rica as a thriving mother and business owner. Through her traumas, to not following the family profession, she talks about how she went through so much, and how it shaped who she is today. 

Cassandra prompts a conversation about how Meg knew things in her life needed to change. Meg recounts the traumas she went through, quitting her job, losing her father… how all of this played a huge part in her realizing she is not the person she was destined to become.

With this in mind, Meg decided to turn to yoga. At first, she did it to find ways to better her body, and ‘sweat off the weight’... but it soon turned into so much more for her. Diving head first into the raw food world, she started hosting culinary classes, writing articles, and really teaching people the impact that diet has on their body.

Cassandra and Meg talk about how our identities are so wrapped up in food pieces. How food defines so much of us, without us even realizing it. From the way we were brought up, to how we were spoken to about food, to the things we hear our family, friends, or parents talk about… Meg explains that these instances stay with us for the rest of our lives and are part of our soul.

Moving the conversation to parenting, Cassandra asks Meg how her lifestyle has changed her parenting style. The main thing Meg talks about with Cassandra is making sure that her child feels like they are the one making choices for themselves, and that Meg’s trauma’s as a child aren’t pushed onto her child. Reparenting herself and constantly auditing her actions and reactions to behavior, has become something Meg does daily.

Come join us and listen as we take a journey of food, family, and other spiritual aspects of life with Cassandra and Meg.
