Episode Description from the Publisher

In a culture that celebrates hustle and constant productivity, is it actually possible to succeed at work without sacrificing the rest of your life? In this episode, Ginny sits down with Megan Hyatt Miller - CEO, author, speaker, and host of The Double Win Podcast, to explore why overwork has become the norm and what it looks like to build a life where both your career and your family can thrive. Megan shares her personal journey from stay-at-home mom to business leader, explaining how raising children with significant needs forced her to rethink traditional ideas about success, productivity, and balance. Together, she and Ginny discuss practical strategies for setting healthy boundaries, finding meaning beyond work, embracing rest as a performance advantage, and intentionally cultivating the parts of life that truly matter. The conversation also explores the surprising value of gardening, beekeeping, time in nature, entrepreneurship, raising capable children, overcoming fear, and why our best ideas often come when we slow down instead of speeding up. Whether you're building a business, balancing work and family, or simply longing for a more intentional life, this conversation offers both practical wisdom and refreshing encouragement.
