Hello!!
I’m Meg Young. I knew from a young age that I wanted to “help people” when I grew up. I wasn’t exactly sure how until high school when it became clear I wanted to help people through trauma. Because it is possible to live a happy, fulfilling life despite what we’ve been through, I became a Social Worker.
I’ve had anxiety in one way or another since childhood. I was able to mask it, even from myself at times. Although I was thriving, my body still felt a great deal of anxiety. Over time, I realized I needed to reboot my own lifestyle. Lifestyle Reboot started percolating in my brain.
I know habits are what we do day after day. And I know habits aren’t just in our actions but are also our thoughts, imagination, and body posture. An over-anxious person’s thoughts, the images they have in their mind, and the way they hold their body are all habitual. But, anxiety is part of our survival system and we cannot make it go away completely. Still, we don’t need to allow it to control our thoughts, imagination and body posture every time it perceives danger that isn’t there. It’s amazing how resilient our bodies and brains are. We can train ourselves to be anxious and we can train ourselves to have influence over our anxiety. The problem is when we aren’t paying attention to anxiety, it becomes habitual. Then we could end up with autoimmune diseases, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes because our body is constantly in fight/flight.
I worked hard on my anxiety over the years. Working on anxiety is a process as anxiety is part of our survival brain; it takes time to change the habits and influence the survival brain. Nobody just “stops” being anxious. Knowing that, I took everything I’ve learned about myself, about others I’ve worked with, and the tools it takes to influence anxiety and created an amazing and influential business that will forever change the way you interact with your anxiety.
You are resilient. When you start doing the things that will influence anxiety, your body and brain will come back into alignment and you will feel more confident and peaceful, enhancing your business and life. You will always have anxiety; it is an emotion just like all others and is an important one, but it no longer needs to dominate you and your decisions.
Are you starting to realize what your habits have cost you? Are you looking for a lifestyle reboot?

You are human. Nothing is perfect, quick, or super easy.
Throughout my life, I have met so many of my goals. But there are so many other goals that are elusive and frustrating. Like living the lifestyle I want. Between other’s expectations and my beliefs about myself it was hard to live a lifestyle that felt right.
Everyone’s “right” lifestyle is different. But for me, I loved the feeling of being athletic and hadn’t been for so long. It felt bad. I also ate more sugar than I “should have” and my body didn’t thank me for that.
I fell into bad habits and for a long time, my body “seemed” to be ok with this. I loved my career and didn’t worry about the fact that I wasn’t exercising like I used to or eating sugar to motivate me because as much as I loved what I did, it was emotionally draining.
Not to mention my self doubts about myself as a therapist (I teach a lot of the tools I use myself, but there are tools I “know” that I just don’t do myself. I’ve always had anxiety and self doubts don’t help that.
I wanted a more aligned lifestyle. But it just wasn’t happening. Then something happened and I realized the dream isn’t actually that elusive. It’s going to take time and patience, but managing anxiety, living an aligned life and getting rid of self-doubt IS possible!
Often just a few obstacles stand in the way once we know what we want. At the top of the list is our mindset. The “shoulds” we tell ourselves. The doubts we have. The fears of failure.
I had my own struggles growing up. I realized that I had to do my own work on my mindset. Mindset is at the core of everything we do or don’t do. I couldn’t very well teach the stuff that I wasn’t practicing. It works! All the stuff that I teach actually works!
It takes work and patience. One day at a time stacked on top of each other until new habits are formed both in mind and body. It takes us slowing down and not asking the future to be today.
Through consistent action results are not only possible, but probable.

I’d love to work with you.
How cool would it be to wake up each morning truly grateful for all aspects of your life? How cool would it be to feel confident, excited, and in control of your life every day? We are a social breed (humans) and we thrive on the support we give each other.
I would be honored to take your lifestyle change journey with you, support you in your goals, celebrate your successes with you, challenge you as needed, and see you reach your goals!
This is your life. This is your time. Time to learn to become ok with fears of the unknown. Time to change the story you tell yourself about what you can and cannot do. Time to build new habits and find new joy in life.
