    003: What We Mean by Rooted & Rehumanizing

    In this episode, Meg and Jillian unpack the heart behind the podcast title: what it means to be rooted, how we’ve become disconnected from our humanity, and why rehumanizing our approach to work, leadership, and life is essential. They explore the courage it takes to slow down, to come back to the body, and to remember that we are not machines… We are cyclical, sensitive, and sovereign beings. This episode is both a grounding and a call forward. Themes:Coming back to your body as a sacred actDisconnection from self in high-performance culturesLiving from cycles, not systemsThe difference between coping and healingRehumanizing how we lead, serve, and relateGrounding as a tool for clarity and truthCreating space for pause, feeling, and integration Quotes:“To be rooted is to know where you begin and end.”“The world tells us to go faster, but wisdom lives in the pause.”“Rehumanizing is remembering we are not machines… we are rhythmic, messy, and alive.”“You can’t rehumanize your business if you’re dissociated from your body.”“We’ve learned to perform our roles, but unlearning that performance is where the healing begins.”“If you're always productive but never present, are you actually living?” We’d love to connect with you Your reflections, questions, and ah-ha moments mean the world to us… If this episode resonates with you, please share it with a friend, leave us a review, or connect with us individually… Connect with Jillian: www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis jillianp@trellissuite.com Connect with Meg: Website: profoundwellness.net Facebook: facebook.com/megan.fikse Instagram: instagram.com/m.laidlaw
