A follow-up conversation with Meagan Tomlin

Three months ago we published Meagan Tomlin’s story about completing her first round of the 30-Day Frequency Research Project.

At the time, she described moving from constant anger and overwhelm to something much quieter: everyday calm.

Since then, she has continued the process.

Meagan has now completed four rounds of tracking, and we recently spoke with her about what has changed since the original case study.

Relearning How to Show Up for Herself

When Meagan Tomlin first joined the Institute of Quantum Frequency’s Awaken Level One program and the 30-Day Frequency Research Project, she was looking for relief from something very specific.

“I was angry a lot,” she shared in her original case study. “Frustrated a lot. I just wanted to stop feeling that way.”

Thirty days later, something had shifted. The constant bubbling of anger and overwhelm had softened into something quieter — a feeling she described simply as calm.

Since then, Meagan has continued the work.

She recently completed four rounds of tracking, and we asked her what has changed most noticeably since that first 30-day experiment.

Her answer was immediate.

“Calmness. I don’t feel as reactive to situations.”

But the change wasn’t just about feeling calmer.

What surprised her most was how her awareness had shifted in everyday moments.

“I think I'm more aware of being reactive. I kind of catch myself and go, ‘Does this really matter?’”

In the past, she says, situations would trigger an immediate emotional reaction.

Now there’s space.

Instead of reacting automatically, she notices what’s happening and decides how much energy it deserves.

Seeing a Pattern She Didn’t Know Was There

By the fourth round of tracking, something deeper began to surface.

When asked what patterns she now sees that she couldn’t see before, Meagan didn’t hesitate.

“I have a huge resistance to receiving.”

It wasn’t something she had clearly recognized earlier in her life.

But once she saw it, she began noticing it everywhere.

“I think I've missed out on things because I can't allow myself to receive from others.”

One moment that brought this realization into focus happened during a conversation with friends about celebrating her birthday.

When a friend suggested throwing a large party for her, her instinctive response was to shut the idea down.

But her friend stopped her.

“She said, ‘Listen — it’s not about you. Sometimes people want to give to you, and you have to let them.’”

For Meagan, it landed like a realization she had been avoiding for years.

“This is a theme in my life,” she said.

When Awareness Comes Before Change

What makes this stage of the process interesting is that awareness doesn’t always mean the pattern changes immediately.

Sometimes it means simply seeing the pattern clearly for the first time.

That’s where Meagan feels she is right now.

“I think I'm still watching it,” she says. “But there are more moments where I can see it happening.”

Rather than trying to force a change, she’s observing the pattern as it appears in real time.

And that alone is changing how she experiences her life.

The Quiet Value of Repetition

After four rounds of tracking, the practice itself has also become something different for her.

Instead of feeling like something she has to complete, it has become a place where her body recognizes the pattern of returning.

“It’s almost like a level of trust,” she says. “My body settles into the pattern. It’s like, ‘Oh — here we are again.’”

For someone who once struggled to take even ten minutes for herself, that shift matters.

It means the practice has become part of her rhythm.

Continuing the Process

Meagan is ready to began a fifth round of tracking.

Her motivation now isn’t the same as when she started.

The first time, she wanted relief.

Now she’s curious.

She wants to see what happens when awareness continues to deepen over time.

As she put it:

“I know it’s helping. But now I want to understand how to access more.”

And for now, she’s continuing the same way she started — by showing up for the practice one day at a time.
