Meet Meghan, and the story behind The Regenerative Edge™
A story of burnout, truth, and rebuilding leadership from the root, without abandoning yourself.
“The edge isn’t where you fall apart.
It’s where the next version of you begins.” - Meghan B. Craig
What I Do
I guide women leaders through quiet, often invisible thresholds, moments when the old way of leading no longer fits, but the new way hasn’t fully formed yet.
My work supports women who are accomplished, capable, and deeply committed and who are feeling the strain of leading inside systems that were never designed to be sustainable, human, or whole.
I blend:
- Woman-centered coaching
- Regenerative leadership and systems thinking
- The NEW Human Design as a tool for self-trust and clarity
- intuitive and somatic clarity
- truth-centered reflection
- 20+ years of experience in climate, sustainability, and social impact
This work isn’t about fixing yourself or becoming someone new.
It’s about returning to yourself and leading from that place.
I Didn’t Start This Work Because I Had It All Figured Out.
I started it because I was unraveling inside systems I had spent years trying to improve.
For over two decades, I worked in renewable energy, disaster response, and environmental advocacy, building teams, managing complexity, and leading work that mattered deeply to me.
On the outside, I was successful.
On the inside, I was exhausted, disconnected, and quietly shrinking my voice and myself.
I kept telling myself I just needed to try harder. Be better. Push through. Keep going.
But the more I achieved, the further I drifted from myself.
The real turning point didn’t come from a strategic plan.
It came from my body.
A knee injury forced me into stillness and for the first time in years, I couldn’t outrun what was true.
I wasn’t failing.
I had outgrown the way I was leading, and the systems I was inside couldn’t grow with me.
That moment changed everything.
I stepped off the treadmill, invested deeply in women-centered coaching and regenerative leadership, and began rebuilding my life and leadership not from urgency or pressure, but from alignment.
Not from strategy.
From truth.
From the inside out.
Why I Created The Regenerative Edge™
The Regenerative Edge™ is the space I wish I had when I was burned out, questioning myself, and standing at the edge of change without language or support.
It weaves together everything I’ve lived and everything I’ve studied and experienced:
- regenerative systems and leadership
- climate and sustainability work
- women-centered coaching and facilitation
- intuitive and somatic awareness
- systems-change strategy
At its core, this work is about one thing:
Helping women return to themselves so they can lead in ways that sustain their energy, their integrity, and the purpose and impact they care about.
This is leadership development for women who refuse to succeed at the cost of themselves.
The Regenerative Edge™ follows a simple, cyclical path:
Reconnect. Realign. Rise.
This isn’t a formula.
It’s a rhythm, one women revisit again and again as they evolve.
We Are Living in a Collective Threshold.
Systems are fraying.
Burnout is rising, especially among women carrying invisible responsibility.
And women are carrying more than their share of emotional, cultural, and relational labor.
The old leadership paradigm of urgency, over-responsibility, and self-sacrifice is breaking down.
And many women are quietly asking:
Why does this no longer work for me?
This isn’t a personal failure.
It’s a systemic moment.
The world doesn’t need more women performing leadership inside broken systems.
It needs women leading from clarity, wholeness, and regenerative rhythm.
That’s who I serve.
That’s what this work exists to support.
