The Powerhouse Podcast | How to Win Your Pageant, How to Improve Your Mindset, Increase Confidence, Stop Comparing, Grow Your
What if the crown wasn’t the reward… but the result of becoming who you were always meant to be?
We decided instead of our usual podcast, we couldn’t keep this experience hidden away in the recordings cloud storage abyss. In this deeply personal episode, Megan hosts a live virtual Powerhouse Pageantry event, joined by Dr. Tiffany Thornton, the reigning Mrs. American 2025. Together they unpack what it really takes to rise as a wife, mom, business owner, and woman of faith in the world of Mrs. pageantry.
You’ll hear Tiffany’s powerful story of redemption and rediscovery — how she stepped back into pageantry after 20 years, rebuilt her confidence through identity work, and found her voice again after seasons of silence.
From learning to surrender control, to finding purpose in motherhood, to understanding why rest and refinement are just as holy as hustle — this conversation will hit home for every woman balancing family, faith, and a God-sized dream.
And there’s one jaw-dropping moment from Tiffany’s national pageant experience that you won’t believe… a moment that completely redefines what grace under pressure really looks like.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
How to rebuild identity after motherhood, loss, or transition
The real reason Mrs. pageantry feels different — and how to thrive in it
The secret to balancing high achievement with peace and rest
How to turn your story into impact (without oversharing or performing)
Why authenticity and surrender are the new “winning edge”
