Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality

Artificial intelligence (AI) is such a hot button topic these days. With the rise of tools like ChatGPT, we can now automate certain tasks in minutes that would have taken a lot longer. The question: Is AI a good thing or a bad thing? The answer: Mostly good, but it depends on how it's used.  In this episode, Alison asks me all the questions about AI and its impact on our future. As with any tool,...

When was the last time you did something that scared you? When was the last time you stretched yourself into discomfort so you could grow and flourish? I'm not saying you need to make yourself miserable, but I've said it before and I'll say it again: you can't become the person you're meant to be without leaning into your fears. In this episode, Alison and I break down how you can use your fears,...

I'm sure you've been seeing a lot about gender roles in the media lately, whether it's Target and the backlash of their LGBTQ clothing or it's Florida establishing anti-trans laws. But this concept of traditional gender roles (and what happens when people step out of them) is everywhere lately.  It might be surprising to know that these "norms" have evolved throughout history and are more fluid th...

In my family, I've always been the caretaker and stay at home parent for my kids and my husband worked outside the home. We've embodied these traditional gender roles for years. But I've been away from my family for the past 8 weeks, overseeing construction on the island I mentioned in last week's episode, and my husband has been with the kids during this time.  I have to say, it feels alienating...

Back in the fall, I bought an island with a house and a footbridge and soooo many more projects than I could have ever anticipated. Before I bought it, this property was my dream, but I did not know what I was in for with how much work this place needed. Now, months later, I'm living here away from my family, in a building that's under construction and with few amenities, working with a constructi...

Alison is joining me again today and she had a dream that led to today's topic: authenticity and being true to ourselves. What does it mean to live an authentic life?  In this episode, we talk about embracing our whole true selves, about recognizing the judgments from other people that hold us back, and how true happiness only comes when you no longer try to cram yourself into a tiny box.  So much...

Alison is back and today we're diving deep, like really deep, into humanity and why the hell it even matters that we're human. What's our purpose on this earth and why do we have physical bodies?  In this episode, we talk about spirits, human bodies, karma, astrology, isolation, and so much more, and how it all pertains to being human and why we're all here.  As a society, we've gotten away from f...

I'm welcoming Alison back again and she has a lighter topic for us today: spiritual modalities. During our discussion, I was shown some things that I hadn't seen or considered before relating to spirituality (like what dried out straw can do to your energy!), and that's always so cool when it happens.  In this episode, we talk about tarot cards, crystals, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and other different...

Alison is back again and bringing us another hot topic. I never know what the topic will be ahead of time, but I'm extremely grateful to her for bringing up masculine vs. feminine energy because it led to an incredible discussion about defined gender roles as they apply to our society, and how an imbalance between the two energies has affected all of us, but especially employees.   In this episode...

Alison is joining me again and today, we're talking about the American education system, why it's not working, and what we can expect for the future of our students.  Until sixth grade, I attended a Montessori school that nurtured my natural desire for knowledge and curiosity. After that, I went to public school and the focus became getting straight A's, passing standardized tests, and getting int...

Alison is back again today, and we're talking about going through the breakdowns to get to the breakthrough you need to change your life for the better. The fact is, we have to go through deeply uncomfortable, difficult situations to move to things that are better. Pain, sadness, grief, frustration, these are catalysts to move us forward, because without these feelings, we get stuck in a state of...

We're continuing this series on mind and body connection, and today, my friend Alison is interviewing me about energy. Emotional issues manifest as physical issues in the body. Our emotions serve as a check engine light. That's why it's so important to be able to connect with our energy—so that we can anticipate the physical effects and make changes that bring us closer to our higher selves. There...

My friend Alison is back once again to interview me, and today, we're talking about good, evil, and anger. There's a lot happening in the world right now. It can feel overwhelming and scary, but the reality is, everything happening right now is necessary. Everything we're dealing with that makes us angry can be a catalyst to move toward something better, because that's how anger works. Today, I'm...

This is the second episode in a new series, where my friend Alison will be interviewing me about all things psychic, medium, channeling, and existential life. I recommend going back and listening to the first episode. What does it mean to be human? It's a complex thing, and our take on it might blow your mind a little bit. We are put on this earth as humans to learn. Whether it's a good or bad exp...

This is the first episode in a new series, where my friend Alison will be interviewing me about all things psychic, medium, channeling, and existential life. Manifestation is about focusing on what you want while reality catches up to your dream. When you show up as your highest self, and you're interacting intentionally, you'll notice the little things that build every day toward your manifestati...

This is the latest episode in this series on emotional immaturity, and I recommend going back and listening to the first four episodes if you haven't yet.  If you are ready to heal yourself from childhood trauma, to move away from toxic relationships and dysfunction, it's important to know that you cannot force other people to heal. There will be times that you will want to and that you will hope...

This is the latest episode in this series on emotional immaturity, and I recommend going back and listening to the first four episodes if you haven't yet.   Do you know someone who blames everyone but themselves when something goes wrong? Or maybe you know someone who puts too much blame on themselves, taking responsibility for something that isn't their fault. You likely relate to one of these de...

It's the fourth episode in this series on emotional immaturity, and I recommend going back and listening to the first three episodes if you haven't yet. Growing up with emotionally immature parents can leave you wondering how to heal your own emotional maturity as an adult. Depending on the type of emotionally mature parent you had informs how you show up as an adult. The good news is that you can...

It's the third episode in this series on emotional immaturity, and I recommend going back and listening to the first two episodes if you haven't yet.   Our society is full of emotionally immature parents who can't (or won't) accept their children for who they are. If you grew up with an emotionally immature parent, you have to do the work to heal that trauma and learn how to have emotionally matur...

The world is filled with emotionally immature people from the neighbor next door to famous actors and politicians. You have them in your life as friends, as coworkers, and almost certainly in your family. Dealing with emotionally immature people isn't something we can avoid, but we can choose not to let them dictate our own emotions and responses – because they can't even handle their own emotions...

Do you put too much value in the opinion of others? Can a hurtful comment make you spiral about what is wrong with you? When we struggle with emotional connections, it's often due to a lack of emotional connection in our childhood. And pretty much all humans can relate in some way. I'm ranting (this topic fires me up) about what avoidant attachment is, how important it is to build up your emotiona...

Today I want to talk about one of my favorite quotes and tools: "Have a heart and mind open to everything and attached to nothing." It's a great way to test where you are with your growth and spirituality.  In this episode, I'm challenging you to notice the moments when you are uncomfortable and closed off and learn how to open your heart and mind. I'm also defining attachments and sharing a perso...

I'm hearing from a lot of people that are having a hard time navigating through what it means to be human right now. When you are in the feelings of anxiety, you are looking into the future. Feelings of depression and sadness often mean you are looking into the past. In this episode, I'm walking you through an exercise to align, center and ground your mind and body in the present. I'm also sharing...

Blaming takes away your power. It takes away your ability to heal. It hinders you from moving forward in life. Being a victim is destroying your life and it's time to stop victimizing yourself. In this episode, I am diving into why you have to take back control and eliminate the blame game from your life. You'll hear why this is essential for your happiness and why extending grace to others can be...

Anger is a lie. What you're actually feeling when you say you're angry at someone is really just a manifestation of other emotions!  It's that volcanic explosion at the end of abandonment, rejection, betrayal or whatever other negative emotions living inside of you.  In this episode, I am getting real and raw about what you might actually be experiencing when you feel angry. You'll realize through...
