Do you ever feel like the grind of business ownership is wearing you down? What if you could run a successful business while feeling deeply rested and fulfilled?

In this inaugural episode of the Deeply Rested podcast, host Maegan Megginson dives into these questions with guests Arianna Smith and Annie Robershaw. Arianna, a licensed therapist and strategic copywriter, and Annie, founder of Delightfully Free, share their stories of burnout and their transformative journeys toward aligning their businesses with personal values. Together, they explore the power of practices like sabbaticals, personal growth, and redefining how they pay themselves as business owners.  Maegan, Arianna, and Annie unpack the reality of balancing the financial, creative, and relational aspects of business for true well-being. This is the foundation for becoming a deeply rested entrepreneur, and we can’t wait for you to listen.
