Create Your Fate

Most of us are living on autopilot — thinking the same thoughts, getting the same results, and wondering why nothing changes. Create Your Fate exists to interrupt that pattern.

Hosted by award-winning Certified Conscious Life Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Somatic Healing Practitioner, Meg Ellis, this is the weekly mindset and life coaching podcast for people who are ready to get out of their own way and feel like themselves again. Meg’s body • brain • behavior approach goes deeper than mindset alone to create transformation that actually sticks.
Each week you’ll get honest, no-fluff solo episodes and expert conversations covering:

* Brain — neuroscience-backed tools to rewire negative thought patterns, break self-limiting beliefs, and reprogram your inner voice
* Body — somatic healing, nervous system tools, and practices that release what your body has been holding onto
* Behavior — Enneagram insights, Law of Attraction, and conscious creation practices you can apply immediately
*
Topics include: self-doubt, people-pleasing, limiting beliefs, confidence, manifestation, relationships, the Enneagram, boundary-setting, identity, and designing a life that feels authentically yours.

Meg the founder Create Your Fate Coaching and Create your Fate Retreats, and the creator of The Meg Ellis Method, a somatic workout experience that creates change from the inside out. Her method has helped thousands of people break lifelong patterns and step into their best lives. No toxic positivity. No quick fixes. Real transformation. New episodes every week.

EP211: Stop Saying Sorry — It’s Killing Your Confidence (and What to Say Instead) Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

"Self-love is essentially the opposite of guilt because when you constantly say sorry, and you're communicating guilt, you are training your subconscious mind that you're at fault." -- Meg

In this episode:

Why “sorry” has become an automatic habit for so many people.
8 common situations where you can stop apologizing right now.
What to say instead that feels confident, respectful, and aligned.
How apologizing on autopilot slowly chips away at your confidence.

Do you catch yourself saying sorry all the time—when you haven’t actually done anything wrong? Maybe you apologize for bumping into someone in a crowded hallway, soften your requests with a quick sorry, or find yourself typing it into emails when you really mean thank you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re shrinking your energy to make others comfortable, or you want your words—and your apologies—to carry more power, this episode is for you.

Today, I’m breaking down why so many of us (especially women) over-apologize on autopilot, what it does to your energy, and how you can shift out of it. We’ll cover 8 times you’re probably apologizing when you don’t have to—that's a lot of unconscious guilt you are carrying into your day! You’ll learn how to make simple swaps that keep your energy strong, your presence confident, and your real apologies meaningful.

This is your invitation to stop shrinking, start taking up space, and show up with unapologetic confidence.

This conversation isn’t just for moms—mother wounds can affect anyone.

I also share my own experiences, so listeners can recognize how these dynamics might appear in their own lives—whether in friendships, careers, romantic relationships, or how they show up for themselves.

In today's episode, I sit down with Create Your Fate Coach Angela Hare to explore the mother wound—how it begins, how it shows up, and how we can heal it. Angela shares her personal journey, including how her own mother wound began to show up in her parenting, and the steps she took to transform her relationship with herself and her daughter. Together, we unpack the patterns that no longer serve us and explore practical ways to reclaim your power, break generational cycles, and create healthier relationships with yourself and others.

In this episode:

Why do we hide our struggles from the very people who care about us most? In this episode of Create Your Fate, I sit down with my longtime friend, Ryan Samuel, and together we open up about the things we didn’t tell our friends during breakups—why we chose to stay silent, and what it cost us. From the silly little embarrassments to the heavy stuff, we unpack why so many of us keep secrets around money struggles, relationship problems, and mental health.

This is a conversation about the masks we wear in our friendships and the walls we build to protect our image. But it’s also about the freedom and connection that comes from finally being real. Ryan and I share our own stories, the lessons we’ve learned, and the surprising ways vulnerability actually strengthens relationships. Because most of the time, the very things we’re afraid to share are the ones that bring us closer.

From scraping plaque as a dental hygienist to running retreats around the globe, I walk you through the pivotal mindset shifts, truth bombs, and steps that helped me design my best life ever.

Your version of “best life” doesn’t have to look like mine—or anyone else’s. Maybe it’s traveling the world, or maybe it’s savoring slow mornings at home. Either way, this episode will help you get honest about what you want, identify the beliefs holding you back, and give you the practical tools to finally move toward it. Because the cost of staying the same is far greater than the cost of going for it.

In this episode, I’m joined by my best friend, yoga colleague, and business partner, Jose Portillo, to talk about something we’ve both lived, taught, and witnessed countless times: what it really means to choose yourself. Fresh off our sixth Create Your Fate retreat—this time in the magical setting of Kos, Greece—we’re sharing stories, insights, and those behind-the-scenes lessons that retreats have taught us about self-worth, courage, and connection.

Choosing yourself sounds empowering, but the truth is, it’s not always the easy choice. It can mean breaking patterns, confronting fears, and risking the loss of comfort or approval from others. In this conversation, we dive into why people hold back from making that leap, the excuses (and very real reasons) we all face, and what changes when you start saying yes to you. Whether it’s a six-day adventure across the globe or a simple daily boundary, we’re exploring how to make the choice that will change your life—and why it’s always worth it in the end.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the most defining story of my entire life—something I’ve never shared this deeply on the podcast before. 15 years ago today, I lost the man I was going to marry—Joe—in Afghanistan. It was the darkest, most unraveling moment I’ve ever known. And it changed me. But not just in the way grief does. It broke me down… and eventually became the catalyst that built me back up.

You’ll hear the raw story of what happened, how I coped (and didn’t cope), and why I now understand that what happened to me also happened for me. It took nearly a decade before I started truly healing, but that’s when the transformation began. And that’s why I’m here now, as a conscious life coach, sharing this with you—so you know you’re not alone in your pain… and that you can expect good things, even after unimaginable loss.
