How Rest Actually Leads to Success: A Conversation with Maegan Megginson
Can rest and success actually co-exist in the lives of female mental health clinicians? Indeed they can! In this episode we speak with Maegan Megginson, about her own experiences with burnout and how this ultimately led her to developing the Rest and Success Code. Maegan talks about how deep rest is an integral component of our success as therapists, some of the biggest barriers to adopting a less pressured approach to our work, and what we can start doing today to adopt a less pressured, more fulfilling approach to our work.
Highlights:
- What lead Maegan to develop the Rest and Success Code
- How the messages from capitalism, the patriarchy, and graduate school get in the way of female therapists adopting a less pressured approach to their work
- Signs that tell Maegan it’s time to include more rest in her practice
- Examples of ways to bring more rest into our work
- The difference between rest and deep rest
- Maegan’s favorite “non-conventional” self-care practice
Maegan Megginson is a sex therapist turned business coach on a mission to help successful entrepreneurs fall madly in love with their businesses. After years of struggling with overwhelm and burnout, Maegan finally figured out how to leverage her introverted and highly sensitive strengths to create two businesses she loves. She believes the key to happiness is to design your business to serve you first and your clients second – only then will you discover how to become deeply rested and wildly successful.
