866. She Listened to Her Intuition, Stopped Hustling, and Found Love—Meghan Swidler

Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik April 30, 2026 Duration: 1:39:58
What happens when you finally stop chasing—and start surrendering? In this transformative episode, Meghan Swidler shares how walking away from a life in venture capital led her into a profound awakening, forcing her to confront the truth: she was living for everyone else but herself.  Ahead, Meghan shares how she moved from toxic relationships + anxious attachment patterns to reclaiming her feminine energy + sense of self-worth. She breaks down how she stopped attracting emotionally unavailable partners and created space for real, grounded love.  Then comes the story that will stay with you: a solo camper van trip, complete surrender to intuition, and love that unfolds when she least expects it. Meghan reveals what healthy love actually feels like—and why it’s not butterflies and chaos, but safety, and deep emotional connection.  We also talk about: How to break cycles of emotionally unavailable relationships The truth about anxious attachment vs. situational anxiety Masculine vs. feminine energy in modern dating Why “ease” is the biggest green flag in relationships The power of taking a break from dating to reset your patterns How intuition leads you to aligned love (not chasing) Financial and emotional strategies for leaving a stable career Why your dream life starts when you stop living for approval Resources: Free Detox Quiz: https://meghanswidler.typeform.com/detoxphasequiz?typeform-source=linktr.ee LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/meghanswidler Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meghanswidler/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghanswidler/ Substack: https://meghanswidler.substack.com/ Website: https://meghanswidler.com/ Two Books on Amazon: https://r.amzlink.to/?btn_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fstores%2FMeghan-Swidler%2Fauthor%2FB0D66SYTWX%3Fref%3Dap_rdr%26isDramIntegrated%3Dtrue%26shoppingPortalEnabled%3Dtrue&btn_ref=org-433bb393e1b8b503 The Cleanses: https://thecleanses.meghanswidler.com/ 30-Minute Consultation: https://calendly.com/meghanswidler/health-history-consultation Intro: https://intro.co/meghanswidler Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka’Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order.
