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.

The Chinese calendar Year of the Horse meets the Fire Horse zodiac as 2026’s invitation to lead from a regulated body. Release 2025 identity friction and step into scalable self-leadership that grows your impact and net worth.

In this powerful final episode of 2025, we close one chapter and consciously step toward the next. 2025 was not a gentle year. It was a year of shedding, friction, identity release, and deep nervous system recalibration. Like the snake, what could not come with you had to be released.

This episode is a grounded reflection on why 2025 asked so much of leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries and how that pressure was purposeful. We explore the energetic and leadership themes of 2025 through numerology and Chinese astrology, and why all of it has been preparing you for 2026, a One Year that marks new beginnings, self-leadership, momentum, and embodied authority.

You will hear why 2026 is predicted to move fast, demand clarity, and reward leaders who are regulated, identity-aligned, and ready to move. We also explore the Year of the Horse energy and what it means for business growth, visibility, and leadership capacity.

This episode is for leaders who know something is shifting and want to meet the next season grounded, powerful, and prepared rather than burned out or reactive.

I also share an invitation to the Heart Wired CEO Mastermind for those who feel the call to lead from regulation, identity, and nervous system integrity in the year ahead.

If you are feeling the closure of an era and the pull toward what is next, this episode will land exactly where it needs to.

Burnout signs can show up as exhaustion and an autopilot life. It's time to escape burnout and choose change.
