Introductions
My name is Megan.
I am a mother, a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a niece, a friend, a healer, and a fierce believer in the transformational power of love to heal the broken places inside our souls—our individual souls and our collective soul.
I truly believe this transformational love is rooted in our very being—and yet, the truth is that we can only be fully loved as deeply as we are fully known. We can only be fully known as deeply as we are seen and heard, and we can only be seen and heard as deeply as we are willing to break ourselves open and expose our roots. This requires a willingness to be vulnerable and authentic—and that begins with looking in the mirror and being willing to say, “I see you.” Healing is rooted in being able to see the fullness of who we are and say, “I love you.”
Sharing love and connection are the inspiration, motivation, and substance the Divine used to breathe life into creation—and at the root of our brokenness, anger, grief, isolation, jealousy, fears, and heartache is the absence of love—so often, rooted in the absence of love for our self. Only once we have begun this work in ourselves, and can truly say to ourselves “I see you and I love you” can we invite the same depth in our relationships with others.
This personal excavation is risky—even terrifying for some—but the alternative is toxic and can leave us broken, angry, scared, untethered, and alone with a wake of destruction along the path. One of my favorite authors, Brené Brown reminds us that vulnerability “is having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.”
Vulnerability is hard.
Isolation is hard.
Each day is a new invitation to choose the life you want to build, and when we choose vulnerability and connection, we find healing, redemption, and reconciliation.
Sagaciously Uprooted was born out of a call to create space for vulnerability and healing, a place to be seen and heard—known and loved, so that we can invite the same in our relationships with others. It is my passion, and what I have been doing throughout my work, in a million different ways, and I am excited to share this space with you.

leave the roots on,
let them
dangle
and the dirt
Just to make clear
where they come from.
