Welcome, Witch!
Hi, I’m Meaghan, ICF-accredited life coach, a deeply nerdy astrologer, and all-around productivity witch. I’m on my third (fourth?) career and first husband, and we and our ridiculous dog live in upstate New York.
And I have a really important message for you:
Is it a little cheesy? Maybe. But cheese is delicious.
And I’m on a mission to share this cheesy belief that creating a life full of magic and wonder isn’t just possible; it’s what we’re here on earth to do. Your magical life exists…
When you get stuck at the office late again.
When your car tire blows out.
When your whole house gets the flu at the same time.
When you’re making the same thing for breakfast you have every day.
When you’re scrolling social media, but know you should be in bed.
When we craft a life worth caring wholly, fully, and authentically about, magic happens not in spite of life’s mundane—even crappy—moments, but because of them.
And to share this message, I created Practical Magic, this weekly newsletter dedicated to infusing your everyday life with magic and wonder.
And as a token of my appreciation for everyone who joins me on that journey, I’ve created a special gift that captures my unique brand of magical living. Morning Magic, my personal favorite weekly practice for getting centered and ready for the week to come.
It’s 30 minutes that will transform your never-ending to-do list into a clear and inspiring purpose, helping you reclaim the power of your productivity for you, and be the total badass you know you are. It’s the perfect way to infuse your daily life with more magic, fun, and all-around amazingness.
And all you have to do to get it, my pretty, is sign up for this free newsletter.

As you may have noticed, astrology is having something of a moment right now. Everyone and their best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend knows their big three, shares hilarious sun-sign memes on their platform of choice, and chalks up every third tech issue to Mercury Retrograde.
And I am super here for it. Seriously, I love how ubiquitous the language of the stars has become in casual conversation.
As an astrologer, looking to the stars has long been one of the many tools in my coaching arsenal for elevating conversation from the mundane to the magical. so I am so here for how ubiquitous the language of the stars has become in casual conversation.
I believe that where caring goes, magic happens. It’s my mission to share caring, coaching, and magic with as many people as possible.
Plus—and I cannot emphasize this enough—it’s f*ckton of fun, and I believe deeply in fun.
