People talk about manifestation as a thing that you can just think into existence. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. When it comes to making your creative dreams come true, what really matters is putting yourself in a position to thoughtfully and intelligently take advantage of the opportunities presented to you. And sometimes these opportunities show up in very unexpected ways.
We’re Heather Vickery and Alan Seales, two perfect strangers who met by chance and embraced opportunity! Listen in as we chat with other successful people about the risks they took, and continue taking, to put themselves on a path to creative success.

#97 - Megan Michelle: When the Universe Hands You a Saga
Sometimes creativity shows up in the most unexpected places. For author Megan Michelle, it was during recovery from open heart surgery and battling severe light sensitivity that her debut novel Skylark came to life. What started as a vivid story playing in her mind became the foundation for The Seales Saga—a seven-book series blending military action, slow-burn romance, and fierce patriarchy-smashing energy.
In this conversation, Megan opens up about the divine-download nature of her writing process, the role crowdfunding played in bringing Skylark to print, and her passion for advocating veterans’ rights and mental health awareness. We also dig into the business side of indie publishing, how to make books beautiful inside and out, and why sometimes the universe has to force us to slow down so our true creative work can emerge.
