This week on the Tuesday Tea podcast, I had the opportunity to chat with Master Encourager, Megan McAvoy Matte!

Megan is a mindset and manifestation coach for successful, high achievers who want to create the life, business, and relationship of their dreams. She started studying mindset 20 years ago when she witnessed 9/11 from her dorm room window and had bad PTSD. This is when Megan learned just how powerful the mind truly is, and how much we can change our own beliefs to create our ideal reality. Megan truly believes that you're always more powerful than you realize and her work is about helping people tune in and create the self awareness to become the best version of themselves. Manifestation is a bi-product of who you're being in the world, and as a yoga teacher she integrates a mind, body, spirit holistic approach into all of the work that she does with her clients and in her courses.

Topics discussed on this episode include:

• Megan’s first hand witness of 9-11 twin towers collapsing
• Megan’s path to healing
• Processing Grief
• How to decompress when you’re faced with trauma on top of trauma
• Financial advisor From Manifestation coach
• Staying open to the possibilities

Podcast host, Business Owner and #1 International Bestselling Author, Dominica Lumazar starts off the Tuesday Tea with Sweet D Podcast by speaking very openly about her recent experience with burnout and clinical depression...

Why is she sharing this? Because as business owners, and for many of us caretakers and especially parents, we often just show the outside world that we’re just, ‘fine’, keep smiling, and work through it all.

During the interviews for this first season of Tuesday Tea, there was a common theme of battling exhaustion and the feeling of burnout...

Dominica wanted to share her experience battling depression, identity crisis and how she was able to eventually overcome burnout, and find joy.
But to do that, sometimes we have to completely breakdown to breakthrough...

In this short episode you’ll learn some insightful resources, tips and tools that you can start using in your own life, TODAY.

Enjoy!

Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions.
Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues and the need for medications. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method.
