Tired of the way work... works?
You’re not alone.

Better Than This is a podcast for ambitious humans who are done playing by the outdated rules of hustle culture, burnout, and business-as-usual — and are ready to rewrite the story of success.

Hosted by author, entrepreneur, and resident instigator Meghan French Dunbar, this show pulls back the curtain on what’s broken about modern work — and what we can do to change it.

Every episode blends raw personal stories, cutting-edge research, and real-world strategies from trailblazing leaders who’ve figured out a better way to work, lead, and live.

This isn’t just about surviving your career.
This is about radically rethinking work to create a life (and workplace) that actually works for you.

Because success without sacrifice? It’s possible.
