The Right Time Might Never Come: Taking the Leap with Megz Reynolds

What if the thing holding you back isn't whether you're capable, but whether you're willing to take the first step before you feel ready? From the WOMENdontDOthat Vault, we're revisiting a conversation with farmer, mother, speaker and mental health advocate Megz Reynolds about taking risks, navigating uncertainty and building a life that doesn't fit neatly into one box. Megz shares her unexpected journey from working in Vancouver's film industry to farming in rural Saskatchewan, becoming an advocate for Canadian agriculture and stepping into new opportunities she couldn't fully predict or plan for. She also opens up about the difficult side of farm life, mental health, sexism, motherhood and the pressure women put on themselves to somehow "balance" it all. This episode covers: Making a major life change before you know exactly how it will work out Why Megz doesn't believe in the idea of perfect balance Protecting your mental health when work and life demand a lot from you Navigating sexism and criticism while continuing to use your voice Pursuing your own ambitions while raising young children Breaking overwhelming goals into smaller, manageable steps Moving through fear, self-doubt and the possibility of failure One of Megz's simplest pieces of advice still holds up: when something feels overwhelming, break it down until it doesn't. You don't need to know everything before you begin. You don't need a perfect plan or a guarantee that you'll succeed. Sometimes growth starts with being willing to try, learn, fall and get back up. This Vault conversation is a reminder that there may never be a perfect time to make the move you've been thinking about. The question is whether you're willing to find out what could happen if you do. https://www.patreon.com/womendontdothat Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/womendontdothat/ TikTok- http://www.tiktok.com/@womendontdothat Blog- https://www.womendontdothat.com/blog Podcast- https://www.womendontdothat.com/podcast Newsletter- https://www.beaconnorthstrategies.com/contact www.womendontdothat.com YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@WOMENdontDOthat How to find Stephanie Mitton: Twitter/X- https://twitter.com/StephanieMitton LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniemitton/ beaconnorthstrategies.com TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@stephmitton Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/stephaniemitton/ Interested in sponsorship?
