DEEPLY RESTED PODCAST

Ep. 4: From Scaling Up to Slowing Down
with Tarzan Kay

What if chasing the next big revenue milestone isn’t the only way to succeed in business? In this Deeply Rested episode, host Maegan Megginson chats with the inspiring Tarzan Kay, a renowned copywriter who’s made waves in the online business world. Tarzan takes us on a journey from her early days of living a free-spirited, bohemian lifestyle to building a seven-figure copywriting empire. Along the way, she reveals how pivotal decisions skyrocketed her business growth.

Tarzan spills the tea on the key moments that took her from hustling for seven figures to building a business that’s aligned with her values and mission. She gets real with Maegan about her journey of prioritizing well-being over endless growth and the wake-up calls that made her hit pause. Tarzan doesn’t hold back when discussing with Maegan the challenges of running a business in a capitalist and patriarchal world—and why it’s so important to redefine what success really means.

If you’re feeling the pull to align your business with your personal values, or just need a reminder that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being, this episode is for you. Tune in and get ready to rethink what success looks like for you!
