From Mental Breakdown To Miss Nebraska In 500 Days

What do you do when your dreams feel miles away and your confidence is shattered? In this raw and deeply personal episode, Coach Megan shares the story she’s rarely told — the truth about hitting rock bottom at 19, the breakdown that left her in a fetal position… and the small, daily steps that led her to win Miss Nebraska just 500 days later.

You’ll hear how she rebuilt her identity from the ground up, invited God into her healing journey, and trained her brain to believe the impossible. Whether you’re feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure if your pageant goals are even possible anymore, this episode will restore your hope — and give you a game plan to start moving forward today.

This isn’t just a story about pageants. It’s about becoming the woman who wins.
