Welcome to the SHIFT SHOW with M&M, a special series within the Merging Life and Money podcast where we explore powerful shifts in mindset, career, and money for holistic wellness.
In this first episode, I sit down with Meghan Stockman, retired Air Force Major, former Space Weather Forecaster for NOAA, transformational coach, and CEO of KidSpace, Inc., a STEM-powered indoor playground for children in Denver.
Meghan shares her journey of an unexpected layoff during her federal probationary period and how she turned this crisis of identity and stability into an opportunity for purposeful reinvention.
We discuss:
- The emotional and mental impact of sudden job loss and how to process it
- The first practical and mindset steps to regain control after a layoff
- How to plant the seeds for a new life chapter rooted in clarity, courage, and confidence
Her story is a powerful reminder that reinvention is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you truly are.
If you have ever built your life around your job, title, or service only to have it pulled out from under you, this conversation will speak to your heart – and your future.
✨ Quote of the episode:
“Sometimes when you're in a dark place, you think you’ve been buried—but you’ve actually been planted.” – Christine Caine
