In this honest and thought-provoking episode of The Photographer’s Couch, Megan unpacks a simple but powerful question that stopped her in her tracks:

“Are the stories you’re making up completely true?”

After hearing this phrase on another podcast, it hit differently — because it’s something we all do. Whether it’s in relationships, business, or everyday life, we tend to fill in the blanks when we don’t have all the facts. But those made-up stories can cause unnecessary hurt, distance, or frustration — even when our intentions aren’t bad.

Megan shares real reflections and examples — from tiny moments like choosing lunch to deeper relationship dynamics — and how learning to question her own stories has helped her feel lighter, more grounded, and more connected to truth instead of assumption.
