Plenty with Kate Northrup 118. The Girl Who Baptized Herself: Meggan Watterson on Worth, Divinity & Coming Home to Yourself
What if no one is coming to save you…because the one you’ve been waiting for is you?
In this episode of the Plenty Podcast, I sit down with one of my dearest friends, Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meggan Watterson, whose new book The Girl Who Baptized Herself has cracked my heart wide open. This conversation is a soul homecoming—one that explores the raw, real journey of reclaiming our worth, rewriting our spiritual stories, and becoming the version of ourselves we’ve always been, but perhaps were never given permission to fully be.
We talk about:
- ✨ The moment Meggan chose herself and stopped settling for crumbs
- 🕊️ The sacred story of Thecla—the girl who baptized herself—and why it matters more than ever today
- 🍷 What getting “sober sober” really means (and how it was never about the wine)
- 💔 How trauma shapes our self-worth and why healing means going all the way in and all the way through
- 🌹 Why coming home to your body is the most radical spiritual act of all
This episode is for anyone who has felt stuck in a story that doesn’t fit, who’s been waiting for external validation or permission, or who simply knows there’s more—but isn’t sure how to get there.
If you’ve ever questioned your worth, longed for a deeper connection with the divine (especially in a female body), or needed a reminder that coming home to yourself is the most sacred journey of all—this conversation is for you.
Listen in and be reminded: you already are the one you’ve been waiting for.
With so much love,
Kate
