Meet the Founder and Lead Coach
Megan McDermott, MSW, LCSW, SAC-IT
I’m Meg — founder of A Life Inspired & A Life Defined and the heart behind the connection‑centered support we offer to individuals, teens, and families. This coaching business was built from my own story and a deep belief that connection has the power to heal, shift patterns, and create real, sustainable change.
My approach is warm, steady, and real. I show up as a human first — grounded, curious, and committed to creating a space where people feel safe enough to be honest, vulnerable, and fully themselves. I’ve spent years supporting people through the most meaningful transitions of their lives, and I bring both lived experience and professional insight into every conversation.
My own story and the challenges I’ve navigated, the cycles I’ve worked hard to break, and the intentional way I’ve raised my two daughters, shapes the way I walk alongside others. I know what it takes to rebuild, to choose differently, and to create a life that feels aligned and authentic.
Whether I’m supporting a teen finding their voice, a parent trying to reconnect, or an adult stepping into a new chapter, my goal is the same: to offer a grounded, supportive space where real change can take root.
