Megan Lyell

Occupational therapy and coaching contributor

Megan Lyell was born in South Africa and trained as an occupational therapist. Her biography in Beyond Limitations describes specialising in neurological rehabilitation and working in the United Kingdom for more than ten years.

Motherhood brought a different set of questions. In My Journey Home, Megan recalls feeling less confident in family life than she had in her professional work, particularly without a strong nearby support network.

The chapter describes reconsidering the balance between employment and caring for her children. Megan connects that process with learning to recognize her own needs, move away from perfectionism and understand a decision as a choice of priorities rather than a personal failure.

Her biography also lists diplomas in life and business coaching. Megan's contribution explains the experience behind her wish to support other women, especially mothers who feel isolated or overwhelmed. Professional caring work and personal adaptation are both important parts of the background she shares.
