In this episode of Rooted and Rehumanizing, Meg and Jillian unpack an unexpected but deeply human conversation that started on a day they almost didn’t record. What unfolded was an exploration of visibility, success, and the edges of growth that make us feel both excited and terrified.

They dive into what it really means to step into bigger visions, why fear of success can feel heavier than fear of failure, and how trusting yourself expands your capacity to lead and live fully. This episode is an invitation to embrace your uniqueness, lean into growth edges, and root yourself in who you already are.

Themes we explore:

• Moving through the fear of success
• Expanding your capacity to hold more
• Recognizing growth edges and choosing to lean in
• Building deeper self-trust
• Naming and normalizing the overwhelm that comes with success
• Living into the Be → Do → Have model

Quotes worth remembering:

• “I have to be visible to get this message out there.”
• “At some point, you have to trust yourself enough to stop anticipating and just handle it in the moment.”
• “Everything starts with an idea, then it’s up to you to make it real.”
• “Maybe don’t perform. Maybe just be.”
• “Be. Do. Have. First, be the version of yourself you want to be, and take action from that place.”
• “I am her. I’m not waiting. I already am.”

We’d love to connect with you.

In this episode, Meg and Jillian explore what it really means to build a life and business from the inside out. They unpack how hustle culture tricks us into performing for worth, how true success often requires unbecoming, and why your inner landscape is the most important part of your leadership, healing, and evolution. This is for anyone who's ever wondered if doing “the inner work” actually matters in a results-driven world… spoiler alert: it does!

• Redefining success from within
• Healing before hustling
• Performing vs. embodying
• Inner safety and nervous system regulation
• Building sustainable leadership through self-trust
• Being instead of constantly doing
• Letting go of "shoulds" in business and life

• “You can’t outsource your self-trust.”
• “So much of leadership is learning to feel safe in your own body.”
• “If you build on shaky inner ground, the whole thing crumbles eventually.”
• “Doing the inner work is not a luxury… it’s the foundation.”
• “Success without embodiment isn’t sustainable.”
• “When you lead from your wholeness, you invite others into theirs too.”

In this episode, Meg and Jillian unpack the heart behind the podcast title: what it means to be rooted, how we’ve become disconnected from our humanity, and why rehumanizing our approach to work, leadership, and life is essential.

They explore the courage it takes to slow down, to come back to the body, and to remember that we are not machines… We are cyclical, sensitive, and sovereign beings.

This episode is both a grounding and a call forward.

• Coming back to your body as a sacred act
• Disconnection from self in high-performance cultures
• Living from cycles, not systems
• The difference between coping and healing
• Rehumanizing how we lead, serve, and relate
• Grounding as a tool for clarity and truth
• Creating space for pause, feeling, and integration

• “To be rooted is to know where you begin and end.”
• “The world tells us to go faster, but wisdom lives in the pause.”
• “Rehumanizing is remembering we are not machines… we are rhythmic, messy, and alive.”
• “You can’t rehumanize your business if you’re dissociated from your body.”
• “We’ve learned to perform our roles, but unlearning that performance is where the healing begins.”
• “If you're always productive but never present, are you actually living?”
