Welcome to the very first WILD episode of the Fearless Wild Creative podcast — where we explore what nature teaches us about life, rhythm, and restoring our nervous systems in a world that constantly pushes us to the brink.

In this episode titled "Wired and Wilted," Meghan shares her personal story of burnout, imbalance, and the slow, grounding return to self through nature. Drawing wisdom from seasons, ecosystems, and the quiet intelligence of the wild, she invites you to question hustle culture, tune into your body's needs, and rediscover how to thrive — not just survive.

If you've been feeling overstimulated, foggy, or creatively stuck… this one’s for you.

What You'll Learn:

• Why our culture rewards imbalance (and how to resist it)

• How nature models perfect, restorative cycles

• The concept of “survival mode” and how to spot it in your own life

• Why balance is more powerful than “self-care” trends

• How to rewire your nervous system with just 5 minutes a day

• Nature-based grounding techniques that can help you reset, even in a city

• How to spot where your inner ecosystem is out of sync

Takeaways:

• You are not a machine. You are not a cactus. You are a dynamic, rhythmic human being who needs rest and nourishment.

• Balance isn’t a luxury—it’s a birthright.

• Start with just five minutes. Let that be your gateway back to thriving.

Try This: Take five minutes today to go outside barefoot, breathe deeply, and simply be. No goals, no scrolling. Just stillness. Let nature recalibrate your system, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
