274. Burnout Red Flags: How to Spot Them and What to Do Next

If you listened to episode 272, you heard about Megan's burnout and why she took a pause from recording new episodes of the podcast.  But that's not quite the whole story.

Back in January, Megan went on a weekend retreat with her coach, friend, and business partner Rachel Sheerin.  It was there that Rachel realized this wouldn't be a normal workcation.

Today, Rachel and Megan share what happened, how Rachel identified the signs of burnout, and tips for what to do when burnout starts to set in next time.

What is Weddings for Real?

Weddings for Real is the go-to podcast for high-achievers in the hospitality industry who’ve checked all the boxes of success but are craving something more—more ease, more alignment, more realness. Hosted by Megan Gillikin, a former wedding planner turned educator and recovering people-pleaser, this podcast dives deep into the unlearning required to build a business (and a life) that actually feels good.

From navigating burnout and boundaries to redefining success and shedding old narratives, each episode offers candid conversations, expert insights, and the occasional wedding industry war story. If you're ready to lead, live, and work on your own terms, you’re in the right place.

Let’s keep it real.
