break your own rules
instead of breaking
your own spirit
It can so fucking hard to figure out what you ACTUALLY want.
You hold yourself to impossibly high standards you wouldn’t dream of putting on other people. (And to be honest, you’re not quite sure where they came from or how to get rid of them!)
It can be hard to discern where you start and where other people begin. You so naturally put others’ needs and expectations ahead of your own, that you feel like you’ve lost what YOU want.
Your days are full of ‘should’s’, - you try to get everything done but you rarely felt satisfied or proud of yourself. (And when you do get everything done, you move the goal post!)
Expectations act as an invisible script running in the background, shaping how you live before you even realise it’s there. They often consist of rules written by people who aren’t living your life, for a map you didn’t even ask for.
let’s rewrite the scripts that run your life and let go of the things that were never yours to carry in the first place.
Unravelling External and Internal Expectations
what you get:
A guided journal with prompts to explore and unravel your internal and external expectations
3 creative exercises: tools for inspiration and to start re-writing your scripts
Reading list + rabbit holes: books, podcasts, & resources for diving even deeper
Invite to The Rebel Social: a supportive online community for the wonderful people I’ve worked with!
A fun, short digital course that will provide you with the tools and insights to help you explore, re-write and reset your internal and external expectations in your own way and on your own terms 🙌
Unravelling your internal and external expectations will help you:
✔️ Create your own definition of success, so you can confidently make decisions that align with what you want. (And find out what that is in the first place!)
✔️ Recognise where you’ve been following someone else’s map, and choose and create your own map instead.
✔️ Give yourself permission to crave, create, and chase dreams that don’t fit neatly into anyone else’s rulebook. And gently unhook and unburden yourself from the background hum of expectations that never belonged to you in the first place.
“Meg is warm and real!! She say it like it is and this is gold in itself. She is always so positive and realistic about what can be achieved and she is a fountain of knowledge and always has some sort of valuable resource to hand.”

what’s inside?
audio companions
An mini private podcast to get you thinking all about expectations! I share a helpful metaphor to help figure out what is ours and what isn’t, and I dive into how hard it can be to go against the tide and how we can do it anyway! (There’s also a Welcome audio to help you get started and navigate your solo adventure!)
guided journal
A structured and supportive space for reflection and excavation. It’s a really helpful tool for unravelling internal and external expectations. You'll be unearthing your silent ‘should’s’ and scripts that sneakily run in the background, finding our where they come from, and doing some re-writing!
PLUS! You also get printable prompt cards to use in the future! 🤩
3 tailored creative exercises
This is about getting even more practical! Each creative exercise is intentionally designed to help you untangle and unearth unhelpful expectations and create your own definitions of success that you can come back to time and time again, to root into your own authentic path when you most need it.
reading + rabbit holes
If you want to dive even further into expectations after the solo adventure, you have your Reading and Rabbit Holes guide! This is a curated list of the most helpful things I’ve found when it comes to examining both internal and external expectations.
dashboard + lifetime access
Everything is housed in your online Dashboard, ready to dive into at any time. You have lifetime access, and it’s there to help you weather all the different seasons in your life!
taking time for this work isn’t indulgent, it’s not selfish, it’s actually pretty fucking essential.
When you have time and space to connect with yourself everything flows a little better. You’re more in tune with your intuition so you can make better decisions (from a place of hope rather than fear). And feel more able to take risks and do things differently.
But I know it can be hard to make the time and give yourself permission, so I’ve intentionally made it simple and accessible. Fuck knows how many lengthy courses I’ve bought that sit on my hard drive! I’ve designed it to be really helpful, practical, easy to dive into and to feel like an absolute treat to do!
Here are some ideas on how you might approach your solo adventure!
Take the journal with you to a coffee shop and listen to the audio on the way to get you thinking!
Block out an afternoon and turn it into an artist’s date! Get a favourite beverage, a slice of cake and make it a real treat!
Pick a weekday evening and do it over a couple of weeks to guide you into some much-needed you time!
Put a date in the diary, and tell everyone you’re busy with an appointment!
(Because you are!)
Bookmark the link and take it with you on holiday or a long train journey!
Gather with some friends and have your own DIY retreat!
the world can feel heavy enough as it is, without you carrying an extra tonne of expectations.
The world needs the messy, wonderful, authentic expression of you, not the shape-shifting version built to please everyone else. (And I say that with so much kindness).
It’s time to toss out the expectations that never fit and untangle and unlearn what doesn’t work and uncover and experiment what does work.
It’s time to give yourself permission to experiment, to play, and to make room for YOU.

“Meg provide loads of inspiration and creative approaches to being a solo creative. She provides a wealth of resources (I'm still working through them and using them now!)”

Meg's style is similar to having a saavy best friend by your side. She is enthusiastic, empathetic, and still totally practical about getting things done.

I’m Meg, and I’m a life/creativity/biz coach, podcaster, writer and all-round rebel rouser for creative and multi-passionate women!
I created this solo adventure because expectations have been one of the biggest, trickiest, most persistent “fuckers” in my own life (and I know the same is true for SO many of the people I’ve worked with).
This adventure was born out of my own messy, ongoing journey—out of wanting to invite more curiosity, compassion, and rebellion into a process that so often feels loaded with shame and blame. I’m sharing everything I’ve learned that has really helped me let go of a bunch of shit that was never mine to carry, and build a life I actually love, not the one expected of me.
If you feel like a square peg in a round hole, if you crave the courage to live by your own compass, and crave a life that feels like a loving home, come on in!
FAQs
What is a solo adventure?
Unravelling Your Internal + External Expectations is one of a series of fun, short courses that I call Solo Adventures. They’re designed to help you dive deeper into specific areas of personal development. Think of them like a DIY retreat that you do in any order, in your own place, at your own leisure!

You’ll set up a simple login, and it’s there whenever you want to dive in!

Nope! All you need is a device of some kind that can connect to the internet! You might choose to fill out your journal digitally or print it off, it’s entirely up to you!
