    Episode 41: Burnout & the Sandwich Generation: Women's Caregiving Burnout

    This week on The Glow Up Revolution Podcast, host Megan Winkler is taking a deep, honest look at burnout in the "sandwich generation." No, this doesn't mean the Gen X & Millennial kids who made their own sandwiches for lunch or for an after-school snack, though that's the age group we're seeing it in! Megan's talking about women 35-55 who are simultaneously caring for children and ageing parents while managing their own careers. She's naming what this kind of depletion actually looks like, why the usual self-care advice falls short, and what realistic recovery looks like when you can't pause your life. Even if you're not in the "caregiver sandwich," you'll enjoy this episode and all the tips Megan shares along the way!

    Episode 40: Compassionate Leadership: The Matriarchal Approach We Haven't Tried Yet

    In this episode, Megan Winkler takes us on a fascinating journey through history, exploring how matriarchal societies built leadership models rooted in compassion, honesty, and long-term community thinking. From ancient civilizations to modern-day practices, Megan draws powerful parallels between these time-tested governance structures and the leadership challenges we face today. If you've ever felt that conventional leadership frameworks are missing something essential, this conversation will open your eyes to a radically different, and deeply human, way of leading. This episode is your invitation to reimagine what leadership can look like when it prioritizes people over profit and the long game over short-term wins. Megan challenges you to reflect on how compassion and honesty show up in your own leadership style, and to start practicing long-horizon thinking in your everyday decisions.

    Episode 39: The Heroine's Journey: Burnout, Inner Work & Reclaiming Success

    What if the path to success wasn't a straight line forward, but a spiral inward? In this episode, Megan Winkler breaks down the fundamental differences between the hero's journey and the heroine's journey, and why the relentless, conquest-driven model so many of us have been following might be the very thing burning us out. Megan unpacks how chasing external milestones while neglecting inner work creates a cycle of achievement without fulfillment, and why true leadership begins with self-integration rather than self-optimization. She guides listeners through the often-overlooked power of balancing masculine and feminine energies, not as a rejection of ambition, but as a recalibration of it. She shares candid insights on recognizing the signs of burnout, the spirituality woven into sustainable success, and what it actually looks like to lead an authentic life that doesn't require you to abandon yourself along the way. Whether you're mid-burnout, mid-breakthrough, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to stop conquering and start integrating.

    Episode 37: The Soft Skills Lie

    What if the skills you've been told are "soft" are actually the most powerful tools in your leadership arsenal? In this episode, Megan Winkler challenges the outdated narrative around soft skills and makes a compelling case for reframing them as human performance skills: a shift that's more than semantic. Drawing on research from Google, Harvard, and McKinsey, Megan unpacks why emotional intelligence, relational awareness, and interpersonal effectiveness have long been undervalued, and why that needs to change if you're serious about leading high-performing teams.Language shapes how we see ourselves, and the words we use around these skills directly impact whether we invest in them or dismiss them. Megan digs into the history behind why relational skills were sidelined in the first place and how reclaiming the way we talk about them can shift both self-perception and decision-making at every level of leadership. She also introduces The SHE Disruption program and personalized human design readings as practical pathways for embodying these skills in your own life and work.Learn more about The SHE Disruption here & hop on the waitlist: https://www.meganwinkler.com/divine-feminine-leadership-programFollow Megan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsmeganwinkler/Join the Patreon: https://patreon.com/theglowupcircle

    Episode 36: The 5 Human Design Types & Leadership

    What if the reason leadership advice never fully sticks isn't a strategy problem, but a blueprint problem? In this episode, we're diving into Human Design, a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science that maps your unique energetic blueprint, and exploring what it actually means for the way you lead. Because when you're running someone else's leadership template, burnout isn't a matter of if. It's a matter of when. Host Megan Winkler walks you through all five Energy Types — Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, and Reflector — and what each one reveals about your natural leadership strengths, your decision-making style, and the specific ways the wrong template has been costing you. If you've ever been told your way of operating was too much, too slow, too scattered, or too sensitive, this episode is your reframe. Your design was never the problem.

    Episode 35: Why "Leadership" Doesn't Work for You

    If you ask corporate America what "leadership" means, they'll tell you it's management, and then they'll try to send you through a framework that feels more like a software update than a tool that will help. This week's episode on The Glow Up Revolution with Megan Winkler is all about inside-out leadership, as opposed to the corporate, dude-bro approach of outside-in leadership model.
