I am Enough: Learning to be Unimpressive with Meg Sylvester
How much of your life have you spent trying to prove you're worthy of being here?
In this week's episode of Unapologetically Yours, I sat down with Meg Sylvester: artist, facilitator, and one of the most honest voices I know in the realm of embodied spirituality and creative expression.
Meg has been a mentor in my life for years, and our paths intersected deeply during the late 2010s and early 2020s when we were both leading retreats and helping people access their inner truth. What I've always admired about Meg is her willingness to shed identities, to evolve publicly, and to give herself permission to not be all things to all people. She's tender, clear, and unafraid to name what's real.
Meg Sylvester is a facilitator, artist, and guide who has spent years creating spaces where people feel deeply seen and celebrated. Based in her practice of embodied living and creative expression, Meg leads intimate retreats and experiences that invite people to walk beside her, not behind her. After the death of her father, Meg experienced a profound shift: grief awakened the artist in her and revealed what "I am enough" truly means. Today, she lives title-free, unapologetically unimpressive, and fully in her own creative expression.

“I am enough doesn’t mean I have everything it takes to get there. It means I am enough without the performance, without impressing anyone, even my dead dad.”
My Key Takeaways from This Episode
Healing should return you to your life, not hold you back from it.
At a certain point, healing stops being supportive and starts becoming a holding pattern. The goal isn't to endlessly fix yourself. It's to live more fully, right now, in the body and life you have.Your body will always tell the truth first.
Our bodies signal misalignment long before our minds are ready to listen. Symptoms aren't problems to override. They're invitations to change, to slow down, to trust what we already know at a somatic level.Mentors are facilitators, not authorities.
A facilitator's role is to create space and walk beside you, not to be placed on a pedestal or mistaken for someone who has life figured out. They have a skill. That doesn't make them better than you.You do not need to be impressive to be worthy.
Worth isn't something we earn through performance, productivity, or spiritual achievement. You're already enough, regardless of your achievements.You are allowed to get off the hamster wheel.
If you feel called to pause, to stop investing in the next fix, or to trust yourself more deeply, let this be your reminder. You can put it down and choose to live now.
This conversation with Meg left me feeling soft and seen. It reminded me that the best teachers are the ones who walk beside you, not ahead of you. Meg has given herself permission to shed the identities that no longer serve her, and in doing so, she's given all of us permission to do the same.
Whether you're a creative, a mother, an entrepreneur, or someone just trying to figure out who you are beyond what you do, this episode is for you. It's about reclaiming your worth, releasing the performance, and trusting that you are already enough.
