#1 MINDSET + HIGH PERFORMANCE PODCAST FOR HIGH ACHIEVING PAGEANT WOMEN
.
Do you sometimes struggle to believe in yourself, despite having big, audacious goals? Have you ever felt alone, because you’re the only one in your circle dreaming as big as you are? Do you desire a deeper, more fulfilled life spiritually, mentally, and professionally, without the dreaded + seemingly never-ending “motivated vs totally burned out” cycle? Do you desire to know Jesus at a deeper level, want Christ-centered goals in line with His will for you, but don’t know where to start or who to trust? Do you want to learn the REAL things that will help you reach your next BIG goal in pageants, work, or your relationships? Do you want to finally conquer the inner-monster inside of you and step into your most confident, courageous self?
.
God wants you to be even holier, happier, healthier, hotter, and wealthier than you have even allowed yourself to dream of! (According to Ephesians 3:20; 3 John 1:2) What do I call this woman? A POWERHOUSE.
.
Welcome to The Powerhouse Podcast - Your Go-To show for high achieving, busy Christian women who want to live their dream lives – confident, courageous, making a massive impact, and on fire for God.
.
As busy Christian women, sometimes we feel guilty or like we have no time to build the life we feel called to by God. Or, we feel alienated because we’re the only person we know dreaming as big as the calling God’s put on your heart.

I created this podcast to show you that everything you’ve dreamed of is 100% possible for you. If you’re a pageant competitor - this will help you win your pageant. If you’re not, it will help you connect with God and yourself on a whole new level (yes, even for women with “no time”) so that you can accomplish whatever goals are on your heart in this season.

How? Just keep plugging in, applying what you hear, + listening to the next episode.

WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME?
Hi, y’all! I’m Megan (Swanson) Rhodes - 2x Former Miss Nebraska (MAO + MUO), wife + mama, 7-Figure Entrepreneur, Christian NLP Mindset + Life Coach, singer, and author.

Welcome to the Powerhouse Podcast! New Episodes Every Tuesday at 7am CST.

  • Am I Enough To Win A Pageant?

    Am I Enough To Win A Pageant?
    Feb 17 2026
    If you have ever spiraled into “maybe I’m not built for this” after another competition, this episode is for you. Megan walks through the most common mindset questions pageant contestants ask in private, the ones that quietly sabotage confidence, stage presence, and interview performance. She reframes placement as feedback, not a verdict, and explains why pageants amplify the identity you bring on stage. You will hear about: Why “Am I enough?” is an identity issue, not a pageant issue What judges can feel even when you are smiling How comparison, perfectionism, and approval seeking leak as tension Why confidence is built through self trust, not personality or pretending How to compete from grounded certainty, even if you do not win This episode is a reset for any contestant who feels invisible, doubts her potential, or fears doing everything right and still losing. The goal is not proving you are enough. It is becoming the kind of woman who already knows she is.
