In this episode of Busy Getting Better, I sit down with Meg Robinson, CEO and founder of Paragon of Mind, a science-based coaching business that helps women rewire their subconscious, break free from toxic habits, and finally step into their dream life. Meg is also the host of the Lessons in Self-Love podcast and has been an entrepreneur since the age of 17.
We’re diving deep into the hidden addictions that are keeping so many women stuck, including doom scrolling, bed rotting, impulse shopping, and even toxic relationships. Meg breaks down the science behind dopamine addiction, habit formation, and subconscious reprogramming, sharing practical strategies to reclaim your time, energy, and confidence.
She also walks us through powerful exercises like the Law of Polarity, the 7 Layers of Why, and vision-casting techniques to help you uncover your true purpose and shift out of self-sabotage.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the mindset work—affirmations, journaling, goal-setting—but still aren’t seeing results, this episode is for you.

Babe, this episode is wild. I’m spilling all the tea on my first out-of-state real estate investment—a journey that went from cash flow dreams to 80 cats, an eviction disaster, and a $20K loss.

You want the real story of real estate investing, not just the highlight reel.You’ve faced setbacks in your financial journey and need a reminder to keep going.You’re ready to build wealth but smarter, not harder.Press play and let’s dive into the chaos.
