    A Story About My Mother

    A Story About My Mother

    Happy Mother’s Day!

    This story is dedicated to my mother and is about my mother Susan Tan.

    For the past nine years, I’ve recorded most of our telephone conversations. In 2019, when my mother found herself in her 70s, newly divorced after more than 40 years of marriage and looking for the next love of her life, I started to record more of our conversations.

    What started as daughter-to-mother exchanges of advice, has turned into an eight-part Audible Original series called “Now or Never: How to Find Love When Love Feels Impossible.” 

    Together, we made this series with the intention to inspire and encourage anyone who has given up on love.

    Throughout the series, I am my mother’s dating coach. I help her navigate making a dating profile, scammers, ghosters, going on a first date, getting heartbroken — all the ups and downs of love and dating.

    This is episode one.

    To listen to the entire series go to audible.com/nowornever.

    Thank you so much for listening!

My Favorite Podcast!

I stumbled upon this podcast while looking for some kind of self help podcast to help me understand how to navigate my 20s. What I found instead was a podcast that truly was there for me when I needed it most. I was comforted by how the experiences I was going through in my life were very much like Megan’s. That I wasn’t alone. She made me believe that even if we feel lost, we will eventually find our way and everything will be okay. I could not recommend this podcast more. I’ve shared it with all my friends and I encourage you to take a listen. I teared up when the last episode played, knowing that I wouldn’t have new episodes to look forward to. Megan, you have truly impacted my life in the short time I’ve been listening. I’m so grateful I stumbled upon your podcast.

Made me Cry

I have never found a podcast at a more perfect time than Millennial (also never wrote a review) Thank you for your words Megan - you are so powerful. I hope you are as successful as you deserve to be, everything I believe you to be is something I hope to someday believe for myself. Thank you for being BRAVE.
