What does it really mean to know your capacity and lead from a place that honours it?

In this episode of The Magic Hour Podcast, I sit down with Megan Swan, Founder and CEO of Megan Swan Wellness and Co-Founder of Altavita Medical Wellness Tourism, for a grounded and eye-opening look at the real side of wellness, self-leadership, and the nervous system work that supports it all. We explore what it means to move beyond the illusion of being “zen all the time” and instead build awareness of your body, energy, and relationship to self.

Megan shares why slowing down isn’t a weakness but a power move—a leadership advantage that creates space for clarity, boundaries, and intention. We also dive into the science and psychology of subconscious leadership. From rewiring your relationship with procrastination to integrating hypnosis in business, and debunking myths around alpha and theta brain waves. Megan unpacks how “good girl” conditioning and self-doubt keep us stuck, and how reframing those patterns can unlock genuine confidence and growth.
