Show notes
Are you burning out trying to do all the things you’re supposed to? In this episode, I talked with Maegan Megginson, LMFT, LPC about unhooking from expectations and finding new ways to be of service to yourself and:
• Grieving the life you imagined you would have before discovering that you’re highly sensitive
• Experimenting with changes to feel more comfortable with yourself, in your relationships, and at work
• Setting boundaries around giving and receiving empathy
• Tending to yourself first by asking the questions, “have I been invited?” and “do I have the energy to offer support?”
• Finding new ways of being of service to yourself and unhooking from overgiving and overfunctioning
• Shifting the rules of how you work at the first sign of burnout
• Integrating the personal and professional parts of yourself to find more balance and healing
Maegan Megginson is a Licensed Therapist and Business Mentor on a mission to help business owners recover from burnout and reignite their vision for their work and their lives by blending the emotional, psychological, and spiritual elements we need to become deeply rested and wildly successful.
