Get Busy Living
Empowered Solutions for Brighter Lives & Better Workplaces
Welcome - I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a certified professional development and life coach, wellness practitioner, and end of life doula. I’m also a New York Times published writer. My work is rooted in a deep commitment to helping people and teams thrive—at work, at home, and in every season of life.
I partner with individuals and organizations to help them show up with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, find more fulfillment in your career, strengthen emotional intelligence, navigate a major transition, reconnect with your passions—or cultivate a healthier, more engaging and human-centered workplace—you’re in the right place.
From one-on-one coaching to immersive workshops for your team, I guide clients in making meaningful mindset and behavior shifts that create lasting impact. Together, we’ll carve a clear path to:
Achieve your goals with less stress and more confidence
Build inclusive, collaborative teams grounded in trust
Strengthen resilience to move through challenges with grace
Cultivate deeper, more authentic relationships
Stay energized, focused, and aligned with long-term success
My approach is all about purpose-driven action—anchoring you in what truly matters so you can move forward with intention. These small, sustainable shifts don’t just spark personal growth—they create ripple effects that foster a culture of care where individuals and teams feel seen, supported, and empowered.
If you're ready to move beyond burnout, quiet the overwhelm, and experience more fulfilling and successful results—I’m here to help. This isn’t about massive overhauls. It’s about thoughtful, grounded changes that make a real difference—starting now and lasting into the future.
Let’s create more empowered, fulfilling experiences—together. Are you ready to say “YES”?

“I was initially skeptical about how helpful a life coach might be, but working with MaryEllen the past 4 years has been really beneficial. She has helped me to focus on important issues and is willing to tackle anything. She is supportive without ever being critical or judgmental. MaryEllen’s upbeat personality is an added bonus to her professional skillset, she is a pleasure to work with.”
Hi, I’m MaryEllen, but you can call me MEG.
I believe that taking care of ourselves holistically is essential for our collective progress.
With over 20 years of coaching experience, my journey from the corporate world to public health inspired me to launch Empowered by MEG in 2009. Through this work, I’ve discovered how culture, environment, and social structures shape our behavior and impact our health and potential.
My mission is to help clients achieve their goals with expanded awareness of the collective benefits that come from reimagining how we think and act. Success, health, and well-being go beyond achievements, fitness, or happiness. They encompass the thoughts we think, the words we speak, the actions we take, the boundaries we set, and how we interact with others and our environment.
I’m here to help you not only reach your goals but to create positive change in the world around us.
