SOPHIE SUMMER MUSE
MEGAN
Welcome to our SOPHIE muse series where we connect with creative women who inspire us.
Next in our series is Megan Signal a New Zealand weightlifter. We caught up with Megan to hear about her summer. x
Hi Megan, what have you been up to this Summer?
It has actually been a summer of staying 'still'. Enjoying some landscaping and setting up our new home, spending time with family, indulging in our favourite foods with friends. I love taking this time to dream up the year and start putting some exciting planning in place while there is little distraction. It's been a truly restful summer so far.
You are such an inspiration to us, what motivates you?
Everyone has the opportunity to lead. I just intend to be the person who leaves places, people and communities you meet a little better than how you found it, whether it’s leading by example, being kind, making someone believe in themselves or just creating a safe space for others to grow.
Do you have any favourite go-to recipes to keep you well-fuelled?
Sinigang is a brothy soup made with seafood or chicken, it has every herbal addition you can find in the Philippines and so nutritious, as I’ve gotten older I go back to more and more of our traditional recipes now knowing their benefits.
With your job, we imagine you wear a lot of activewear – what style do you tend to reach for when you are not coaching or practising?
I love a baggy pant and a sleek high or off shoulder neck line top. It serves everything for me, with heels or sneakers. Slick bun, gold jewellery (always) and a red lip.
What are your non-negotiables every day to feel your best?
Talking to my sister. We gas each other up everyday, no matter how we’re feeling we’ll call each other every day to check in. She’s the most constant thing in my life, my best friend and is positive energy for me always.
