What does it really mean to know your capacity and lead from a place that honours it?
In this episode of The Magic Hour Podcast, I sit down with Megan Swan, Founder and CEO of Megan Swan Wellness and Co-Founder of Altavita Medical Wellness Tourism, for a grounded and eye-opening look at the real side of wellness, self-leadership, and the nervous system work that supports it all. We explore what it means to move beyond the illusion of being “zen all the time” and instead build awareness of your body, energy, and relationship to self.
Megan shares why slowing down isn’t a weakness but a power move—a leadership advantage that creates space for clarity, boundaries, and intention. We also dive into the science and psychology of subconscious leadership. From rewiring your relationship with procrastination to integrating hypnosis in business, and debunking myths around alpha and theta brain waves. Megan unpacks how “good girl” conditioning and self-doubt keep us stuck, and how reframing those patterns can unlock genuine confidence and growth.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Rewiring your relationship with procrastination and learning how to use that energy for creativity and clarity
- Integrating hypnosis into subconscious business leadership and debunking myths about alpha and theta brain waves
- Unpacking subconscious patterns that keep us stuck, from “good girl” conditioning to misunderstood forms of holistic biohacking

- How Megan’s two businesses support powerful individuals in showing up as their best selves
- Building a personal menu of wellness that honours your energy, cycle, and season of life

If you’ve ever felt torn between productivity and presence—or wondered how to lead in a way that actually feels good—this episode is your permission slip to pause, listen inward, and lead differently.
