35: Taking the pressure off your passions, rooting sustainability in nature, setting boundaries, and managing burnout with Rebecca Magee

This week’s episode is with my dear friend Rebecca Magee. Rebecca is a sustainability professional in the fashion industry, a facilitator, and a women's retreats host. She is deeply knowledgeable about sustainability in fashion and beyond, and I am constantly learning from her! This episode is a peek into our conversation in my home in Denver— our interests have evolved as has our friendship— and I am excited for you to learn from Rebecca as well.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What it’s like when your passions change and how to flow with it

• What it means to be a “light green” vs. “dark green” sustainability advocate

• How to navigate feeling disconnected from yourself

• How Rebecca got interested in the sustainability space

• The lowdown on ethical and sustainable fashion

• Protecting your passions instead of putting pressure on them

• The difference between dreams and goals

• The challenges of perfectionism and let down your barriers

• How Rebecca realized she was experiencing burnout and what she did about it

• Rebecca’s newest project
