Today on Impact, Meghan shares her decision to take a sabbatical from the show. In order to take things to a much bigger level of impact, there are things you sometimes need to blindly let go of. Moving to the next level is not about harder work, it's about harder decisions.

Meghan touches on the topic of Ted Lasso, which has become a popular show in her household. Her father is sad that the show is coming to an end and her daughter, a soccer player, has been asking to watch it for the past two years. They decided that she could watch it with them, as it would be a gateway to more mature conversations. Meghan is trying to make decisions that will help them take things to a much bigger level, and let go of things that are tethering them from the full view.

Meghan expresses admiration for the creators of Ted Lasso for ending the show while it was still popular and well-received, rather than trying to milk it for every last bit of revenue. She reflects on how this decision resonates with her own life, and how she has a tendency to stay in situations long after they should have moved on.

Meghan recounts her journey of learning to let go of things and move into a new space while saying no to certain opportunities. Life is less about what you do, more about how you make people feel, and everything about how you choose to show up in the world.
