Break Down. Wake Up.

Break Down. Wake Up. is about discovering the world changing wisdom within our distress. I’m Meg Mateer, a psychology nerd turned business consultant and entrepreneur. Join me to hear from leaders about when things in their lives were breaking down and to listen for the wisdom waking up. Along the way, we’ll explore fresh perspectives like (1) how distress is a driver of success, not a barrier to it, (2) how our personal and professional lives are inherently connected and (3) how our individual experiences can help solve broader societal challenges. When things are breaking down, important wisdom is waking up.

016 - Listening to the wake up calls - solo episode!

September 22, 2020 • Meg Mateer • Season 1 • Episode 16

How my own breakdowns, when I finally paid attention to them, inspired and facilitated my transition from corporate consultant to social entrepreneur. I spent the first eight years of my career working in corporate consulting, climbing the corporate ladder, and living a very traditionally successful life. But something was missing - I could feel the subtle dissonance between what I was spending my time with and what I was really called to do. It wasn't until I began to really listen to my wake up signals that I found real alignment and power in my career and life. I now live my life connected to the wisdom within my breakdowns - the big rock bottom moments ones and the small daily discomforts. And I have FINALLY put together all of my tools and resources to share with you in the first ever Break Down. Wake Up. online program! Are you ready to listen to your wake up signals?
