About this listen
Three years in, and I almost quit...
In this milestone episode of Dropped In with Meghan Weir, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to keep going when motivation disappears, results feel slow, and your nervous system starts hitting the brakes.
I’m talking about discouragement, burnout, functional freeze, and the quiet kind of overwhelm that makes high performers question everything. The part nobody posts about. The part where you’re doing all the right things, and still feel like you’re running uphill in wet cement.
You’ll hear why I considered cancelling the podcast, what actually stopped me, and the message of hope I ask every guest to share for the person who’s ready to throw in the towel.
This episode is for founders, leaders, and entrepreneurs building something meaningful… and realizing your next level doesn’t require more discipline. It requires more capacity.
Inside, we talk about:
- Why burnout isn’t a motivation problem, it’s nervous system overload
- The difference between discipline and capacity
- Why functional freeze shows up right before your next expansion
- How to build nervous system resilience for long-term success
- The truth about mastery, consistency, and staying power
- What “the year of the Fire Horse” symbolizes for your leadership era
If you’ve been discouraged, doubting yourself, or feeling like quitting, this one is your permission slip to stay. Not from force. From leadership.
