About Megan Gibson
Megs
Perfectly imperfect in every way – and finally after a lifetime of trying to be otherwise – I am freaking proud of it!
We only get one shot at this life, in this body, with the family you have and the circumstances you were born into. My story starts out like most people, loving family, a childhood full of happy memories and a series of other events I can recall that had me learn resilience and how the world really worked the hard way.
From as early as I can remember I was the ultimate people pleaser!
I was as near to perfect as a child can get, sweet, helpful, smart and polite. Always looking for ways to make the adults around me happy and proud. Let me tell you it got incredibly exhausting over time, especially when no matter what I tried, it was never enough.
You are already
Enough
My fascination in human behaviour began after hairdressing for 10 years repeatedly hearing my clients complain and settle for the same mediocre life visit after visit, year after year.
Moving into sales then eventually my own business, I realised that so many people I worked with or served, were stuck on auto pilot feeling they had little control over their own life.
I have always been someone who works well under pressure, can handle being uncomfortable and not afraid of change. But so many people are not so keen to take themselves on. And this I found as intriguing as I did frustrating. I understand now where my constant need for reinvention came from but that was after a lot of self development and a few wake up calls, or as I like to say ‘holy shit moments’!
The largest one came when I turned 40.
Like many of the people I have coached, this milestone is reached along with a deer in headlights, slap in the face kinda feeling – holy shit where did the last 10yrs go! And for me it was the beginning of the rest of my life. In more ways than one. Thankfully I was already surrounded by a number of amazing humans who guided me on this journey of rediscovery that ultimately led me to where I am now – living a life I am absolutely obsessed with.
A life i love
And now I get up out of bed in the morning to help others do the same!
What makes you you?
I first started coaching 8 years ago in the personal branding space, facilitating a discovery process that took my clients into the depths of their past experiences to reveal their unique perspective and strengths. This allowed them to build an authentic brand that they felt aligned with. I am still very passionate about this space as I feel now more than ever we are craving authenticity in a digital world full of filters and highlights reels.
Rediscovering a sense of identity that feels authentic to you and then intentionally making choices that you align with, will create a life you are excited to get out of bed everyday and live to the fullest. Authoring the life YOU want in every area. This is now my purpose in life, to help you unlock what makes you you.

A Sneaky peak inside Meg's mind
What I value the most
-
01. Acknowledgement
Everyone wants to feel seen and heard. Acknowledging others for the value they bring and the effort they make instills inner confidence and self acceptance. Taking the time to notice and voice your appreciation can transform someones day.
-
02. Self Expression
There is nothing that lights me up more than seeing someone stepping into their full self expression. It gives everyone around them permission to do the same and promotes joy in others. Don't let anyone ever make you feel like you are too much!
-
03. Personal Freedom
Of your mind, body and soul. We all deserve to live a life free from oppression and control. True personal freedom is achieved by knowing yourself inside out and making choices that are aligned with who you are then settling for nothing less.
-
04. Inclusion
In our diverse culture everyone deserves to feel they belong and have a place to feel safe. No one should be left out in the cold because they are different or not as strong. Everyone can make a difference if they are made to feel like they matter and given a chance to shine.
-
05. Personal Responsibility
We are each 100% responsible for the results in life. If its to be its up to me! Sure shit happens its what you do about it that makes or breaks you. Taking ownership of what you did or didn't bring to a situation allows you to take back your power and make a new choice.
-
06. Compassion
Listening and understanding from a place of non judgement allows us to feel compassion for others in a way that provides support and an opportunity for growth. Empathy and kindness are true expressions of love.
-
07. Intimacy
Spending quality time and giving your undivided attention to another so they feel heard and seen inspires connection. Small intimate gatherings with my favourite humans is more appealing than larger groups with surface level conversation and no connection.
-
08. Loyalty
This above all things promotes trust, honesty and integrity in all relationships. Especially with yourself. Showing up for those you have made a commitment to no matter what as long as you don't abandon yourself in the process. Without loyalty, nothing will last.
-
09. Leadership
The most important person to lead well is yourself. I believe in being the example, leading from the front, which is only possible if you are truly stepping up and taking yourself on. It's serving others in a way that inspires them to take action they otherwise wouldn't have.
-
10. Wisdom
Everyone you meet has something to teach you. Something to offer the world from their own unique experience. As much as I love to learn and absorb new knowledge, I'm also passionate about sharing it, paying it forward. Growth is a never-ending journey.
