What if the life you were taught to want… isn’t actually the life meant for you?

In this expansive and deeply thought-provoking episode of Becoming is Messy, Meghann sits down with Maurice Philogene—entrepreneur, investor, coach, former federal agent, military officer, police officer, world traveler, and founder of Try Life On.

Together, they explore what it means to stop living on autopilot and begin intentionally designing a life rooted in freedom, alignment, creativity, and inner truth.

Mo shares his remarkable journey from growing up as the son of Haitian immigrants in Boston to building multiple careers, traveling the world, creating financial and geographic freedom, and ultimately helping others break out of “cookie cutter living” to create lives that actually feel meaningful.

In this conversation, they discuss:

· Why so many people lose touch with their inner voice

· How schools, careers, and society condition us toward compliance and competition

· The power of imagination and identity in shaping your future

· What it means to “try life on” before making massive changes

· Creating a life you don’t need a vacation from

· The importance of relationships, curiosity, and meaningful human connection

· Releasing old identities that no longer fit

· Why peace and freedom can exist now—not just in retirement

This episode is equal parts inspiring, grounding, and liberating. A reminder that you are allowed to build a life differently.

And sometimes the first step is simply believing that another way is possible.
