High performers like us can get stuck chasing outcomes, living by ‘shoulds,’ and searching for the perfect choice. That black-and-white thinking keeps us on autopilot and robs us of momentum.
Today’s guest, coach and Changeology host Meg Trucano, has lived this work. After burning out in a prestigious research career, a single question—‘How will you feel a year from now if nothing changes?’—sparked a complete pivot. Now she helps high-achieving women create identity-level change with what she calls small acts of rebellion—like dropping old rules that don’t serve you and reclaiming your time.
If you’re ready to trade perfectionism for progress, you’ll learn how intention, agency, and aligned action create real movement—and how to give yourself permission to change your mind.
In this episode we’ll unpack:
• why black-and-white thinking is a trap,
• how to spot and clear the ‘shoulds’ running your life,
• small acts of rebellion that build identity-level change, and
• one question to audit decisions.
