When Pageant Prep Feels Like Too Much

Pageant prep shouldn’t feel like a breakdown waiting to happen.

If you’re constantly wondering what to work on, bouncing between burnout and motivation, or stuck in a loop of guilt, scattered effort, and lost momentum—you’re not the problem. Your strategy is.

In this episode, Coach Megan walks you through:
✔ The real reason prep feels overwhelming (hint: it’s not a character flaw)
✔ Why decision fatigue kills momentum—and how to fix it
✔ A simple scheduling shift that helps you prep from peace, not panic
✔ The 3 biggest time traps and how to reverse-engineer your calendar
✔ How to stop prepping from pressure and start prepping from purpose

You’ll also get access to the brand new Powerhouse Pageant Scheduler GPT—a game-changing tool to help you map out your next 6-week sprint based on your real life and energy. Whether you’re 12 weeks out or just getting started, this is your invitation to win smarter, not harder.
