This is one of my all-time favourite episodes — a must-listen for any sensitive entrepreneur. In this deep and nourishing conversation, I sit down with Maegan Megginson, a licensed therapist and holistic business mentor, to explore what it really means to honour your sensitivity in life and business. We talk about identity shifts, the grief that can accompany growth, the beauty of pivoting, and how intuition and emotion are powerful guides rather than liabilities.

Maegan shares her personal journey from successful therapist to business coach / mentor, offering heartfelt wisdom on navigating transitions with self-compassion. If you’ve ever felt like you're "too much" or not cut out for conventional paths, this episode will help you feel seen, validated, and inspired. Let this be a reminder: it’s okay to feel deeply, and there is immense strength in following your own rhythm.

You can connect with Maegan through her own podcast which you can find here and don't forget to sign up to her newsletter.

We all know the importance of setting boundaries, but as highly sensitive and introverted individuals, the reality of saying no can feel overwhelming. Join me as I delve into a recent personal experience where I had to navigate the complexities of a tough decision. I’ll walk you through the thought processes, emotional challenges, and mindset shifts that helped me honour my values and make a decision aligned with my wellbeing.

If you struggle with people-pleasing or find it difficult to set boundaries, this episode is for you. Let’s explore how you can embrace the power of no, not just as a boundary, but as a way to say yes to your priorities and yourself.
