436: Meagan Francis: A Mother Of Reinvention And Making Her Own Rules

Meagan Francis is a mom of five kids ages 11 - 22, author, writer, and co-host of The Mom Hour podcast. She regularly speaks and coaches women and moms on building sane and satisfying lives, embracing creativity, and reinventing their careers.

Meagan has been momming for her entire adulthood, having her first child in her early twenties.  She has been writing, blogging, and reinventing herself online for 15 years.  She has learned a lot of lessons along the way.  Her energy is infectious and her perspectives are so refreshing. 

Listen in to hear Meagan share:

  • How current times are taking us back to Newbornland
  • How she’s finding and creating joy in unpredictable times
  • How she went from blogging to podcasting (and whether you should start a blog or a podcast!)
  • How moms can find happiness and satisfaction in spite of the media telling us that motherhood is hard, overwhelming, and frustrating
  • Why she is actively opting out and rejecting the current COVID climate around homeschooling
  • The value of embracing constant reinvention
