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 act
• Disconnection from self in high-performance cultures
• Living from cycles, not systems
• The difference between coping and healing
• Rehumanizing how we lead, serve, and relate
• Grounding as a tool for clarity and truth
• Creating 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?”
