In this episode of Rooted and Rehumanizing, Meg and Jillian continue their conversation on growth edges. This time exploring what happens when high-achieving tendencies collide with the desire to serve deeply. They talk about the difference between overgiving and overdelivering, the importance of conserving energy, and how identity can get tangled up in work, roles, and external validation.Meg shares the evolution of her new Bold Beautiful Life community and how creating group spaces allows for both collective transformation and personal sustainability. Jillian reflects on her own experiences with Trellis and in corporate roles, noticing how tying identity to performance led to over-complication and perfectionism, and how cutting ties with those patterns brought freedom.
