About Meg & The Daily Pep!
I’m Meg and I’m the host of The Daily Pep! and The Couragemakers Podcast and founder of The Rebel Rousers. I’m a coach, writer and all-round rebel-rouser for creative and multi-passionate women to do the things only they can do and build a wholehearted life. When I'm not recording episodes, writing bullshit-free Letters of Rebellion to my wonderful Couragemakers community or hosting workshops/group programmes, I'm usually covered in paint or walking my wonderfully weird cockapoo Merlin.

Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Thursday to you. Now, around here, we tend to all be on slightly different paths. We tend to do a load of different unconventional, quirky things. And we tend to love going down rabbit holes. And today's daily pep is a reminder that you get to do you. You get to do life your way. You do not have to explain your choices or your preferences or what lights you up to anybody. And there will be people who don't get it, but that's okay, because there are also people that really do get it and would be cheering you on from the rooftops and just think that what you're doing is.

Is so fun and fabulous. So whether you are surrounded by people who just don't get it, whether you're surrounded by external dream shitters who may be well intentioned but aren't that encouraging, or say all the wrong things, or whether that inner dream shitter is you, and for so many of us, it is, I just want to pop into your ears with a reminder that you are fabulous the way you are. Your life might not look the same as other people's. And while sometimes it can feel really lonely, that's also part of the joy of life, that we all live slightly differently and we all love different things. So here is to your fabulous self. To celebrating yourself rather than berating yourself. To knowing that your people are out there. To knowing that it's okay if not everybody gets you.

And to embracing what you love without apology. Keep going. Have a fabulous day. We're so nearly at the end of the week and I'll see you bright and early as always tomorrow morning.
