Hi! I’m Meg and welcome to my online home!

The typical online business world tells me that I’m supposed to use this page to prove I understand your “pain points” (YUK), showcase my expertise, and paint myself as the ultimate solution to every problem you’ve ever had.

Well, fuck that shit.

It’s gross, it’s manipulative and it’s also just false. If you’re stuck on a creative project, if you’re getting in your own way, or if you’re trying to figure out your next moves in life, then I definitely have some ideas.

But if you’re in the middle of the desert and your car has just broken down, or if you’re trying to explain quantum physics to a group of toddlers, then I am seriously not your woman.

If you’ve landed here, I’m pretty sure we’re both trying to do the same thing:

We’re trying to build a life where we feel wholly ourselves, where we spend as much of our time and energy on the things that light us up, make us feel alive and feed our souls.

We’re not interested about having an outwardly impressive life and we don’t give one flying fuck about the Joneses, we’re not about doing things impress other people.

The only person we truly want respect from is is ourselves and if we’re totally honest - and a bit morbid - our death bed selves.

(Don’t worry, I’m not normally that depressing. I do everything with a side serving of irreverence; after all, I did create a Bristol Stool Chart for Getting Shit Done!)

We want to live a life in complete alignment with our values, and being wholly and truly ourselves.

But sometimes something seriously gets in our way.

And instead of doing the work we:

but we also forget there’s something larger and more insidous at play:

If we’ve been socialised as women, we’ve been taught in a million different ways - reinforced through a thousand different cuts -

  • to stay in our lane

  • not to take up space

  • to put everyone before ourselves

  • prioritise other people’s comfort over our own discomfort

  • to shrink and fit our work into ‘bonus time’

But these are the exact OPPOSITE of the things we need to do, if we want to chase our dreams, build a life that is wholly our own and walk the path that feels true for us.

which is where the rebellion comes in

There are so many empty spaces in the world, meant for brilliant, wonderful women with creative, unconventional and life something dreams.

Bonnie Ware shares that the top regret of the dying is “I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me”

and Les Brown claims "

“The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because that's where you'll find the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared

Women the world doesn’t get to see because they bought into the (very convincing) lies of their inner dreamshitters, the bullshit of external fuckery and and ignored the whisperings of their inner rebel rouser.

Inspired by two quotes - les brown and bonnie ware

Paint the picture, how you actually work with people, how you put all of this into action.

and I believe everything changes when you believe you matter.

I’m Meg. I’m a fat Welsh woman, I’m experimenting with being location independent and I’ve been doing this work for 11+ years.

I’m a Messy Rebel, neuro-spicy and an absolute nerd for all things getting shit done, getting out of your own way and living life on your own terms.

I’m obsessed with new notebooks, I love Dolly Parton and a good cosy coffee shop!

So, welcome!

I like to imagine The Rebel Rousers as a really colourful coffee shop with all the fairy lights and huge comfy (and mismatched chairs). There’s a creative studio out the back filled with every colour paint imaginable. There’s a napping room upstairs for

A space to gather where you can be yourself, where you don’t have to mask, where you don’t have to dull down your sparkle to make other people feel comfortable
