We had the good fortune of connecting with Megan Pasquel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Megan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Honestly, it all started with passion. I had such a deep love for health and wellness and a strong desire to help women live what I call a positively fit life not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.

I saw so many women struggling with toxic diet culture, misinformation, and a lack of support. I knew I wanted to create something that helped them reshape their beliefs around nutrition, body image, and what it actually means to be healthy.

At the core, I just wanted to make a real impact helping women feel empowered, confident, and strong from the inside out.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I’m the founder of two heart-driven businesses: Positively Fit Community (PFC) and Coaching with Confidence (CWC).

Positively Fit Community started over 7 years ago and has now grown into a powerhouse team of 6 coaches. Together, we’ve had the honor of supporting thousands of women with their health and wellness goals women in every season of life. From new moms to busy professionals to women simply looking to feel confident in their own skin, we’ve built a space where lasting transformation can truly happen.

As our coaching business grew, I noticed so many incredible women asking, “How did you do it? How can I turn my passion into a business too?” That inspired me to create Coaching with Confidence, a mentorship program specifically designed to help female health coaches start and scale a sustainable, heart-led business. What started as a side project quickly became a movement. We’ve now mentored over 150 women to not only grow profitable businesses but ones that deeply align with their values and allow them to truly change lives.

Was it easy? Definitely not.

There were moments I questioned everything. I left my teaching career, went all-in on a dream that felt scary at times, and faced all the mindset gremlins you can imagine. I’ve been ghosted, doubted, and told I was “too obsessed” with fitness. But I’ve also cried happy tears watching clients reach milestones they never thought possible—and that’s what keeps me going.

What sets us apart is how personal we keep it. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs. Every client gets hands-on, 1:1 mentorship because we care deeply about their results. And we’re still in the trenches ourselves, actively coaching, testing strategies, and learning what works right now.

If there’s one thing I want the world to know about our story, it’s this:
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need passion, support, and a willingness to grow. And that’s what we’re here for.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Some of my favorite parts of arizona are visiting sedona and flagstaff. I love all the hikes arizona has to offer. And as far as food & drinks- so many good places depending on what you are looking for.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without the incredible clients who’ve trusted me with their goals, their journeys, and their hearts. 💗

Your belief in me has fueled this business and made every step of the way so worth it. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your transformation you’ve changed my life just as much as I’ve helped change yours. 🙏✨
