Relearning How to Show Up for Herself

How the 30-Day Frequency Research Project helped Meagan move from anger and overwhelm to quiet, everyday calm

Background

Meagan Tomlin is a mom, long-time entrepreneur, and behind-the-scenes engine for multiple family businesses. For 17 years, she and her husband owned a chain of 10 cell phone stores. Today they run a for-sale-by-owner real estate business in the Okanagan and recently opened a restaurant in Castlegar, BC.

On the outside, she’s capable, competent, and always in motion. On the inside, by the time she found the Awaken Level One program and the 30-Day Frequency Research Project, she was tired and angry.

“I was angry a lot,” she says. “Frustrated a lot. As a business owner, I felt like I’d raised about 75 children with all our employees and their struggles. I was overwhelmed, and I didn’t really know how to process that.”

After they sold their first business, she expected the heaviness and overwhelming feeling to lift, but it didn’t.

“I just knew I needed to stop feeling angry,” she explains. “I didn’t know where it was really coming from. I wanted inner peace and a sense of actually moving forward.”

When she came across the Institute of Quantum Frequency’s Awaken Level One program and the 30-Day Frequency Research Project, something told her to finally try something new. 

“I’d always been curious about things like this, but I’d never done anything like it before. I thought, ‘Okay, it’s time to try something different.’”

She enrolled.

 

Saying Yes (Even While Thinking “This Isn’t Really My World”)

Meagan describes herself as a practical person—not someone immersed in yoga philosophy, spiritual language, or energetic practices.

“I’m not a very spiritual person,” she says. “I’m not a yogi. I’ve never studied any of this. I’d see other people really understanding the deeper concepts, and I’d think, ‘I’m just feeling what I’m feeling.’”

But the way the material was taught made it accessible.

“I liked how Beth explained things. The way she talked made it feel grounded and real”

Still, once she began the course, the depth surprised her.

“There was a lot of yoga philosophy and terminology. I felt intimidated at first. I kept thinking, ‘I won’t remember all this, and I don’t know if I’m smart enough for this.’”

She eventually shifted her expectations.

“I had to remind myself there wasn’t going to be a test at the end. The point wasn’t to memorize everything. The point was to get what I needed.”

 

Learning to Take 10 Minutes for Herself

As a mother and entrepreneur, Meagan is used to giving her time to everyone else first.

“In the beginning, I was like, ‘Where am I supposed to find time for this?’ Ten or twenty minutes felt huge.”

But the daily rhythm of the course became something she looked forward to.

“I’d listen to the lesson, then read the written material. Sometimes I’d hear things I missed while reading. Sometimes I’d read things I missed while listening. But mostly it was just… a moment that was mine.”

Taking ten minutes for herself felt like a breakthrough.

“Even though it’s small, it really helped me say, ‘Okay, this is your time. You can do something for yourself today.’”

 

The 30-Day Frequency Research Project

Meagan describes herself as the type of person who, once she commits to something, hates letting herself down.

So when she started the 30-Day Frequency Research Project and understood that missing a day meant starting over, it landed.

“I did feel pressure at first,” she says. “But that structure was exactly what I needed. It made me show up.”

The process gave her a clear, simple rhythm:

  • Do the practice
  • Answer the daily questions
  • Receive her Daily Frequency Report with the Codes that were activated

“There were days I’d be exhausted, ready for bed, and think, ‘Okay, but I have to do this before I go to sleep.’ I’d do the tracking, and then I’d go to bed calm. That became really important for me.”

The accountability piece mattered more than she expected.

“If you just told me, ‘Read a book every day,’ I’d say, ‘Oh, I didn’t today, that’s okay,’” she says. “But with the tracking, if I don’t do it, the chain is broken. That makes me show up.”

 

What the Frequency Reports Revealed

When the Fragmenting Codes appeared, they were familiar. They reflected back a version of herself she already knew but hadn’t fully named.

“I’d look at the fragmenting Codes and think, ‘Yeah, that makes sense.’ It wasn’t shocking as much as it was organizing everything I’d been feeling.”

The stabilizing Codes were a different kind of surprise.

“When those came up, I was like, ‘Oh, okay, that ties into this. That makes sense with the others.’ It helped me see where I actually have strengths and consistency, too.”

Over time, she started noticing specific patterns, especially around breath and holding.

“One of the patterns was about holding,” she shares. “I realized that every time I knew I was going into a certain position, I’d hold my breath. Now I know that’s something I can work with. I still catch myself doing it, but I’m aware it’s there.”

More than anything, the shift felt energetic.

“I could feel the energy in my body in different places at different times,” she says. “It was less about the words and more about, ‘Something is actually moving.’”

 

From Overwhelm and Anger to Quiet Change

There wasn’t one big breakthrough moment for Meagan. Instead, the change showed up in small, real-life situations.

“I don’t have that overwhelm bubbling anymore,” she says. “Before, something would happen and I’d want to throw my phone across the room. Now I’m more like, ‘Okay, this sucks, but I’m just here, and I’ll move on.’”

She doesn’t always consciously think, I need to breathe through this, but she can feel that her system responds differently.

“I think I’m breathing through things now without having to constantly remind myself,” she says. “It’s in the background instead of something I’m forcing myself to do.”

She also noticed her relationship with perfection starting to soften.

“I used to feel like if I did a course, I had to absorb everything and know it all by the end,” she explains. “With this, I had to accept that I wasn’t going to understand every concept. And that’s okay. It’s not about getting 100 percent. It’s about what actually lands for you.

 

Why She Chose to Do the 30 Days Again

Meagan is now going through the 30-Day Frequency Research Project for a second time.

The first round was about feeling something different.

“I just wanted to stop being angry and overwhelmed,” she says. “I wanted to feel different inside. And I do.”

This time, she’s more curious.

“Now that I’m feeling more, I want to understand it better. Last time, I’d read the Codes and think, ‘That makes sense.’ This time, I want to sit with them more and really ask, ‘Okay, what is this bringing up for me?’”

Even if the second round doesn’t deliver some dramatic “aha,” she already knows it’s worth it.

“Whether I get some big epiphany or not, I’m still taking that time for myself,” she says. “I’m still learning that I can be accountable to me. That alone is worth it.”

 

What She’d Tell Someone Thinking About Joining

For someone who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure if they’re “the kind of person” who does work like this, Meagan has a few simple reflections:

  • You don’t have to be spiritual or know all the language.
    • “I’m not a yogi. I’m not super spiritual. You don’t have to be any of those things. You just have to be willing to show up.”
  • Don’t look at it as a big 30-day mountain.
    •  “If you think, ‘I have to do this whole 30-day program,’ it can feel impossible. If you think, ‘Today I need 20 minutes,’ it suddenly feels doable.”
  • You don’t have to understand everything in the course.
    •  “This isn’t a test. You’ll remember the parts that matter for you. That’s enough.” 
  • Showing up imperfectly still counts.
    •  “Some days I’m all in. Some days I’m just getting through it. But I’m still there. I don’t have to be mad at myself for not doing it perfectly.” 

When she looks back at where she started and where she is now, Meagan sums it up simply:

“I don’t feel that constant bubbling of anger and overwhelm anymore. I feel like I can get through things. I’m not holding everything the way I used to. Other people might not see the difference from the outside, but inside, it’s different. And that’s what I was looking for.”
