320. Unlearning: The Four Boundaries Every High Achiever Needs to Set (Before It's Too Late)
If you've found yourself stuck in overdrive, constantly pushing past empty, or saying "yes" when your body is screaming "no," this solo episode is for you. Megan explores the four crucial boundaries she had to implement after her own intense burnout season.
This isn't theory; it's lived experience. Megan shares the raw truth about what changed, why it had to, and how these boundaries helped her reset, reclaim her energy, and build a more sustainable life and business.
Will you take action to help you slow down and course-correct before burnout forces your hand?
In this episode, you'll learn about:
Why Megan's late 2023/early 2024 burnout was a catalyst for radical change.
The profound impact of treating yourself like a robot (and why it will eventually catch up).
How setting boundaries can help you reclaim your energy and redefine success.
