About Dr. Megan Daley Dr. Megan Daley is a transformative success coach for high-achieving women ready to regain their energy, freedom, & deep joy for life! After 10 years as a successful clinician, hitting burnout multiple times, and watching her dad die with regrets of living his life for everyone else, she realized the answer to that question gnawing at her gut saying “I checked the boxes, why do I feel like I’m missing something?” didn’t lie in any course or certification or “just take a vacation,” but rather in learning how to regulate her nervous system, hold boundaries, let go of her conditioning & what others think in order to find her authentic self & path. She now helps countless others quickly move from burnout to badass with clarity & confidence through her signature launchpad sessions, group containers, self-discovery journal, and her podcast, Human On the Daley.

Success is subjective and should be defined by you. The fear of change often stems from societal conditioning. Self-reflection is crucial in identifying what truly makes you happy. Nervous system regulation can help reconnect you with your desires. Coaching can provide valuable support in your journey. The sunken cost fallacy can trap you in unfulfilling careers. Personal transformation has a ripple effect on those around you. Identifying signs of misalignment is key to making changes. Your worth is not defined by your job title or accolades.
