🎙✨ SEASON FINALE: ATLAS

🧩 SEASON THEME: HUNGRY:


This season finale asks a simple but weighty question: what are you carrying?

Atlas, the Titan condemned to hold up the sky, has become a symbol for anyone who feels responsible for keeping everything together relationships, expectations, appearances, success. Strength slowly turns into obligation. Responsibility becomes identity.

By the end of the Hungry season, the tension is clear: you can’t keep holding the world and still be fed.

This episode explores the invisible weight of approval, people-pleasing, and perfection and what happens when hunger finally forces you to put something down.

👣 Guest Introduction:

Megan Bunnell is a transformational coach, speaker, and founder of Megan Bunnell Coaching, a space dedicated to helping women stop surviving and start choosing themselves.

Her work is rooted in the idea of tantalum a rare, resilient metal known for its strength under extreme pressure. That metaphor runs deep here. Megan believes resilience isn’t something women need to find it’s something they need permission to trust.

Through practical tools, reflection, and honest conversation, Megan helps women navigate burnout, self-doubt, and over-functioning, guiding them back to who they are beneath the weight they’ve been carrying. Her clients describe her as grounding, clarifying, and steady someone who helps you trust your own voice again.
