128: Lost your spark? How to shift out of depletion and refresh your energy with Meghan Johnston
Friends, I’m so excited to share today’s guest with you. Every so often I interview a podcast guest who changes my life and I believe Meghan Johnston is one of those people. Meghan is a life coach and a restorative yoga teacher with over 12 years of experience in holistic wellness, space holding, and experiential learning. And if you’ve been listening to the past few episodes here, you’ll know that I recently went through a little period of burnout, so this interview with Meghan is so well-timed. I put into practice some of the things she and I talk about today, including some restorative yoga, and I feel better than I have in months! So Meghan and I are going to talk in depth about all the ways you can feel this way too.

Meghan shares the story of how burnout at a young age brought her into the space of really learning how we view rest, individually and as a society. She and I talk about how rest has become this thing that we view as lazy or something we don’t deserve because we are meant to always be achieving. Meghan explains the importance of rest and uses the analogies of annual seasons of blooming and decay, and of the philosophy of the yin and yang. I love when she says “You don’t have to earn rest. You’re worthy of rest as you are” because that is often the opposite of the messaging we get in society. Meghan talks more about what restorative yoga is, the balance of rest and activity, what healthy stress is for, and the “three P’s of energy”. I really am so pleased to bring this episode to you all and I hope you can find the life-changing moments in it that I did. We all deserve to change our thinking around rest and restoration.
