Building Businesses & Wellbeing
The Origin Story of MSW
At Megan Swan Wellness, we don't do generic self-care advice or one-size-fits-all programs. We build wellness infrastructure—the operating system that lets you scale your business and your family without burnout, guilt, or constant overwhelm.
Our approach is season-aware (honoring where you are in motherhood and business), nervous-system-first (regulation over hustle), and less-is-more (micro-practices that fit your actual life, not aspirational routines you'll never sustain).
Whether you're navigating pregnancy and pitch decks, postpartum and scaling, or building in the early years of motherhood—you'll get frameworks, tools, and community that turn wellness into your competitive edge.
Ready to build infrastructure that protects your energy and amplifies your impact?
Wellness as Infrastructure, Not an Afterthought
At 30 Megan set out on her own twisted Eat, Pray, Love journey - Latin Style where she ended up living as an expat in Mexico for 15 years. This book is part memoir - part roadmap for women who are serious about getting healthy - for good, not just for a season. It is for the women who are tired of feeling tired and deep down know there is an inner fire just waiting to be lit. Megan takes you on a comical, vulnerable and relatable journey from party girl looking to escape negative narratives on replay to empowered wellness leader looking to change how women everywhere view wellness. This book is for all the women who quite simply are ready for something more.
