When Megan and Brad closed Studio M, they believed the hardest part was behind them.

The salon had a buyer. The next chapter was beginning. The girls were settled in their new homes.

But you can probably guess what happened next.

In this episode, Megan shares the emotional aftermath of the failed sale, navigating uncertainty while her husband works out of state, and the difficult responsibility of caring for gift card holders, former staff, and the future of a business that meant so much to the community.

She also opens up about:

• Why the gift card refunds mattered
• What it feels like to grieve something that isn’t fully gone
• Choosing to sell the salon as a turnkey opportunity
• Trusting God while sitting in the unknown
• Why closure sometimes takes longer than expected

This is a story about unexpected detours, unfinished chapters, and finding peace when plans fall apart.

Women Who Make It Happen: Amber Baker on Mobility, Assisted Stretching, and Red Light Therapy

In this episode of Studio Make It Happen, Megan sits down with Amber Baker, PTA and founder of Stretch & Thrive in downtown Findlay.

After years in traditional physical therapy, Amber realized she wanted to work with people before injury or surgery became their only option. She stepped away from the conventional healthcare model to build a proactive wellness practice focused on mobility, assisted stretching, and long-term strength.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Why most adults should be able to touch their toes
• The difference between “normal” stiffness and optimal mobility
• Why recurring pain often has a deeper root cause
• How assisted stretching complements chiropractic and massage care
• What red light therapy actually does for inflammation, mood, and recovery
• How to think long-term about aging well and staying active

Amber also shares what it looks like to build a wellness business locally, how she structured her services for accountability, and why proactive care is the future of health.

If you’ve ever assumed stiffness, tightness, or back pain is just part of getting older, this episode offers a different perspective.

Move better. Age stronger. Take responsibility for your body before pain forces you to. Learn more about Amber and Stretch + Thrive.

So many women wake up one day and think:

“I don’t feel right.”
“Something is off.”
“I don’t even recognize myself.”

And they’re told it’s anxiety.
Or stress.
Or aging.
Or depression.

But what if it’s hormones?

In this episode of Studio Make It Happen, Megan sits down with Bethany Parsell, double board-certified Urology and Family Nurse Practitioner and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, to talk about the things women are not told about:

• Perimenopause (which can begin 7–10 years before your last period)
• Low libido and testosterone deficiency
• Brain fog and mood changes
• Urinary incontinence
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Why leaking is NOT a normal part of aging
• Why so many women are misdiagnosed

Bethany specializes in male and female sexual medicine, pelvic floor muscle training, menopause care, and cancer-related sexual health concerns.

This is the conversation women deserve to hear.

If you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t feel like myself.”
This episode is for you.
