This week on The Glow Up Revolution Podcast, Megan Winkler names two layers of burnout that rest alone can't reach: energetic and spiritual burnout. She's diving into what happens when you've lost your sense of meaning, your connection to your own inner life, and the quiet signal from your intuition that something needs to change.

She talks about disconnection, disillusionment, and ultimately the reclamation of your energetic and spiritual self.

For a lot of women, the body becomes a place they leave, noton purpose, but by necessity. Chronic stress, caregiving, and work are demanding. Unfortunately for most of us, that means we ignore our body's signals, and we (unintentionally) create a disconnect between the mind and spirit, and the body.

In this episode of The Glow Up Revolution Podcast, Megan Winkler explores the powerful, often painful relationship between chronic stress, burnout, and the physical body, with particular attention to what happens during perimenopause, when years of disconnection can no longer be ignored.

In this episode of The Glow Up Revolution, Megan Winkler takes a hard look at one of the most overlooked forms of burnout: the systematic taking of women's time. Megan frames giving away your time through the lens of the accumulated weight of over-explaining, over-giving, and being rewarded for both. She guides listeners through the emotional truth of what that costs: first grief, then rage, then the second wave of grief that arrives when you actually start to reclaim what's yours. Rather than bypassing the emotional release in favor of quick fixes, Megan makes the case that feeling it fully is exactly what makes the reclamation stick.

This episode offers five grounded, no-apology steps for women ready to move from awareness into action, including how to identify where time is going out without a real yes, how to find and protect personal non-negotiables, and why boundary setting means saying less, not more.

This episode is for the entrepreneur, caregiver, community-holder, or regular woman who has spent years being called dependable while quietly running on empty. Reclaiming your time isn't a time management strategy; it's an act of self-sovereignty. And Megan makes clear: you don't need anyone's permission to start.

We're kicking off a brand new 6-episode series here on The Glow Up Revolution Podcast, and we're starting where it all begins: identity. Not the roles you play, not what you do for everyone else: you. Before the titles. Before the responsibilities. Before you got so good at being useful that you forgot to be a person.

This episode is an excavation, not a reinvention. Those beautiful, creative, fun parts of your personality are still in there. We're just going back to find her.

If you've ever gone quiet when someone asked what you want, you're gonna love this episode.

This week on The Glow Up Revolution Podcast, host Megan Winkler is taking a deep, honest look at burnout in the "sandwich generation." No, this doesn't mean the Gen X & Millennial kids who made their own sandwiches for lunch or for an after-school snack, though that's the age group we're seeing it in!

Megan's talking about women 35-55 who are simultaneously caring for children and ageing parents while managing their own careers. She's naming what this kind of depletion actually looks like, why the usual self-care advice falls short, and what realistic recovery looks like when you can't pause your life.

Even if you're not in the "caregiver sandwich," you'll enjoy this episode and all the tips Megan shares along the way!

Key Takeaways

• 64% of working women in the sandwich generation are at a burnout breaking point (Cleo, 2026)
• High-functioning burnout is invisible; it looks likecapability, not collapse 
• Recovery for this season requires subtraction, not addition
• Minimum viable restoration > heroic overhaul
• Making invisible labor visible is a prerequisite toredistributing it

I'm taking a break from the podcast this week, but I'll be back next week. Give this quick 2-minute micro-episode a listen to find out what's coming soon.

In this episode, Megan Winkler takes us on a fascinating journey through history, exploring how matriarchal societies built leadership models rooted in compassion, honesty, and long-term community thinking. From ancient civilizations to modern-day practices, Megan draws powerful parallels between these time-tested governance structures and the leadership challenges we face today. If you've ever felt that conventional leadership frameworks are missing something essential, this conversation will open your eyes to a radically different, and deeply human, way of leading.

This episode is your invitation to reimagine what leadership can look like when it prioritizes people over profit and the long game over short-term wins. Megan challenges you to reflect on how compassion and honesty show up in your own leadership style, and to start practicing long-horizon thinking in your everyday decisions.

What if the path to success wasn't a straight line forward, but a spiral inward? In this episode, Megan Winkler breaks down the fundamental differences between the hero's journey and the heroine's journey, and why the relentless, conquest-driven model so many of us have been following might be the very thing burning us out.

Megan unpacks how chasing external milestones while neglecting inner work creates a cycle of achievement without fulfillment, and why true leadership begins with self-integration rather than self-optimization.

She guides listeners through the often-overlooked power of balancing masculine and feminine energies, not as a rejection of ambition, but as a recalibration of it. She shares candid insights on recognizing the signs of burnout, the spirituality woven into sustainable success, and what it actually looks like to lead an authentic life that doesn't require you to abandon yourself along the way. Whether you're mid-burnout, mid-breakthrough, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to stop conquering and start integrating.

What if the skills you've been told are "soft" are actually the most powerful tools in your leadership arsenal? In this episode, Megan Winkler challenges the outdated narrative around soft skills and makes a compelling case for reframing them as human performance skills: a shift that's more than semantic. Drawing on research from Google, Harvard, and McKinsey, Megan unpacks why emotional intelligence, relational awareness, and interpersonal effectiveness have long been undervalued, and why that needs to change if you're serious about leading high-performing teams.Language shapes how we see ourselves, and the words we use around these skills directly impact whether we invest in them or dismiss them. Megan digs into the history behind why relational skills were sidelined in the first place and how reclaiming the way we talk about them can shift both self-perception and decision-making at every level of leadership. She also introduces The SHE Disruption program and personalized human design readings as practical pathways for embodying these skills in your own life and work.Learn more about The SHE Disruption here & hop on the waitlist: https://www.meganwinkler.com/divine-feminine-leadership-programFollow Megan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsmeganwinkler/Join the Patreon: https://patreon.com/theglowupcircle
