Jeremy Birt | The Strategy Sessions
What if the real reason you feel stuck in your career isn’t your title, your workload, or even your strategy—but something buried way deeper?
In this episode of The Strategy Sessions, I sat down with the remarkable Megan North—former HR leader, intuitive coach, energy healer, and creator of Finding Your True North. And what unfolded was one of the most honest, thought-provoking conversations I’ve had about purpose, healing, and what it really takes to feel aligned in work and in life.
Megan shared her own journey—from legal secretary to corporate HR exec to launching her own coaching business that now blends energy healing, intuitive guidance, and soul-aligned strategy. Her turning point? Realising she was living a life designed for someone else’s values. She wanted freedom. Flow. Joy. And to work only with those who truly aligned.
That became her true north—and the foundation of her coaching method.
One of the most powerful parts of our conversation was Megan’s insight into subconscious beliefs. Using Theta Healing, she helps clients uncover childhood beliefs that still shape adult decisions—often without us even knowing.
“I once discovered I had absorbed my dad’s belief that you should only have one job,” Megan shared. “It was blocking my income streams. Once I cleared it, things started flowing again.”
It’s a reminder that our strategy will always hit a ceiling if our mindset isn’t aligned with it.
Far from being “woo-woo for the wilderness,” Megan’s work is grounded and results-focused. She works with executives, boards, and entrepreneurs who are smart, driven—and often quietly searching for more meaning. Her genius lies in her ability to walk into a boardroom in the morning and lead a spiritual healing session in the afternoon.
That balance is what’s making her work so relevant. As Megan puts it, “I’m not here to convert people. I’m here to offer what they need—when they’re ready.”
Whether it’s helping a corporate exec build the courage to start her own business, or mentoring women with criminal records as they re-enter the workforce, Megan’s approach is both deeply compassionate and refreshingly practical.
And yes—she’s also the host of The True North Show, a U.S.-based weekly live show that features people living their purpose out loud.
Purpose isn’t soft—it’s strategic. When you know your values, decision-making gets faster and clearer.
Belief systems matter. Especially the ones you didn’t know you had.
Well-being isn’t the opposite of ambition. It’s a performance enabler.
And coaching that blends strategy and soul? That’s where the real growth happens.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re chasing someone else’s version of success—or if it’s time to course-correct toward your own true north—this episode is your sign.
