285. The Costs of Ignoring Yourself
Have you ever found yourself completely overreacting to something small... and wondered, Where did that come from?
This week, Megan is joined by author, speaker, and creator of How to Blow Up Your Life, Sara Stansberry, for a powerful conversation about the hidden cost of ignoring yourself. Through Sara's deeply personal story of a garage door that wouldn't close—and the emotional breakdown that followed—they explore how years of suppressing emotions, minimizing needs, and disconnecting from yourself eventually demand to be seen.
If you've ever felt guilty for having needs, struggled to identify your emotions, or worried that choosing yourself is somehow selfish, this conversation will challenge those beliefs and invite you back to yourself. Because when you stop ignoring who you are, you don't just change your own life—you become the person the world needs you to be.
In this episode you'll learn:
Ignoring yourself doesn't make life easier—it simply delays the moment when your heart demands to be heard. This conversation is an invitation to reconnect with yourself, honor your emotions, and live the vibrant life you were created to live.
