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

Recently, I've been at a loss. I see all the negative things happening around our country – shootings, stolen rights, political power plays – and I think to myself, "Who could possibly stand for this?" But those people are out there, making our laws and taking our liberties. And until they truly start acting for the good of the people, I'm not going to be quiet about how angry I am. On today's epi...

When was the last time you considered your own mortality? The truth is, we all are guaranteed one thing in life: to experience death. Why is it that we don't get intimate with death? Death is a gift for the living that gives us perspective. When we see it around us, we don't tend to confront our own mortality but I think we should shift that. When we can take a step back and get intimate with dyin...

Does this feel like the end of an era? Or maybe the beginning of a new one? Regardless of which side of this discussion you find yourself on, this is just the beginning for all of us, for change, for expansion, and for human existence.  In the past decade, we've been faced with constant change and uncertainty, from elections to the pandemic to education to economics. Even if some of those changes...

Do you know who you are? Where you're going? What you want? Do you believe that you are enough? The person I am today is not the same person that I was when I was younger. People spend a lot of time trying to get people to see them and understand them… and I'm here to tell you it's a complete waste of time. In today's episode, I'm talking about why you have to become the person you are meant to be...

Do you have big goals, big dreams, and big ideas that you want to accomplish? Do you find yourself unable to get started? Feeling overwhelmed and stuck? We've all been there. When you create a huge obstacle in your mind that feels impossible to tackle, you start to spiral. In today's episode, I'm talking about how to take the big picture and break it down into bite-sized pieces, and why it's impor...

Are you experiencing a timeline shift? This is a phrase you hear a lot, especially on the spiritual side of social media. Creators are constantly talking about timeline shifts, jumping timelines, the list goes on. You might be wondering, what is a timeline shift? In today's episode, I am uncovering what timelines are, what happens when you change timelines and my recent story of how I experienced...

When we think of manifestation, we often think of something happening or coming to us immediately or when we think we are ready. But manifestation is so much more than having a thought and seeing it realized. In today's episode, I'm breaking down what real manifestation looks like and how you can implement it into your life. It's more about life, joy and love. It's about embracing the journey and...

The universe recently brought me a mentor, and it shifted my perspective completely. I thought I knew everything. I thought I was the smartest person in the room. I bet that you can relate on some level. My new mentor brought me back to reality and knocked me off my high horse. In today's episode, I'm talking about why we have to challenge ourselves to expand and grow beyond what we think we know...

I don't watch the news, but even so, I feel like I'm constantly bombarded by negativity. Celebrity gossip, world disasters, political drama–it all serves to distract us, to deflate us, and to create a global experience of pain and unrest. But what is it distracting us from? On today's episode, I'm talking about this precipice that we all currently exist on, this precipice between the way things ha...

It's time to stop the insanity and start protecting your peace. When we're dealing with people who are on the opposite end of the spectrum from us, it can be very challenging. Endless debates about politics, social activism, and religion aren't going to get the opposing person any closer to your viewpoints. In today's episode, I'm sharing why you shouldn't try to sway people's opinions on these ha...

We create stories in your heads all the time . When something doesn't go the way we thought it would, our brains fill in holes whether or not we have all the facts. We project our emotions and assumptions onto others. We try to control what we simply cannot. In today's episode, I'm talking about why these stories that we make up are rooted in our own emotions and not based in reality. I'm sharing...

I can't do that. I'll never make that much money. People won't pay that price. I don't have the experience. I shouldn't do that. I don't know how. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. These self-limiting beliefs lived rent-free in my head for most of my life. Growing up in a small community and without the expansive access of the internet, I only knew what I saw around me. I wasn't exposed to women...

For a long time, I didn't realize I was so afraid. I always thought of myself as a strong person, someone who could stand tall in the face of adversity. But recently, I've come to realize that I've kept my loved ones at arm's length for years, all because I'm afraid of losing them. My strength, it turns out, came at the expense of my tenderness. On today's episode, I'm opening up about my recent t...

The best way to experience truly life-changing moments and understand more about yourself and the world is to travel. A beach vacation is one thing. But an adventure in a new country, discovering how other people live, the beauty and excitement that comes with experiencing a completely different culture— that is the kind of travel that is soul-nourishing, that lights you up, that gets you thinking...

This may come as a shock but your spiritual being, your soul self, doesn't care that you're alive. We're all on a journey in our lifetimes and it's up to you to see it that way. Everything that happens to you: the good, the bad, the mundane, it's all here to serve a greater purpose for you and those around you. This episode will help you to reflect on the past, enjoy the present moment and not fee...

Do you ever ask yourself, Why did this happen to me? I want to ask you to consider a reframe on that question. Nothing is happening to you. Everything is for you, created by you. Instead of the above, ask yourself, Why did I want this? What did I need from this? What is the lesson? Nothing is an accident, and there is nothing standing between you and your higher self. You are the creator and the c...

Have you ever thought of how vital it is to get what you need from yourself instead of trying to get other people—your parents, your colleagues, your spouse—to give you praise, validity, acceptance? Have you learned to accept yourself and truly be your own person? Today, I'm chatting with my daughter Skylar about the concept of remothering, or reparenting. It's an empowering feeling to take the pr...

Do you ever wonder where your trust issues come from? Where your fear of something comes from? Or why you get a pit in your stomach in anticipation of something that hasn't even happened yet? We've all been there. Memories live in our minds and our bodies and can give rise to trauma. And trauma responses can pop up when we least expect them to. In today's episode, I'm talking about how old program...

Do you feel safe? Do you create a space that allows others to feel safe and heard? What even is safety? In this episode, I am joined once again by my daughter Skylar to dive into this hot topic of safety and what it actually means.   You'll hear us talk about how you can find safe spaces within your own communities and what you can do if you don't have an established safe space. We chat about ever...

Dating with the sole purpose of getting married as the end game puts a lot of pressure and anxiety on something that should be fun—where you should be able to get to know yourself, to get to know someone else, to make a friend, to learn what you're looking for in a mate. In today's episode, I'm chatting with my daughter, Skylar, about expectations around dating. Relationships have evolved from gen...

I'm never going to find the right person. All the good women are taken. All men suck. I'm never dating again. There's no one decent on any dating apps. I'm just going to be alone forever.   Do any of these thoughts sound familiar? These are stories we tell ourselves. They are lies. But we believe them. And then … They become reality. Our brain is wired to look for things that support the stories w...

Today, I'm talking to Eugene West, Jr., who is living with AIDS. He tells his story—no holds barred—about being bullied as a kid, about his exploits with drugs and sex, about crimes committed by him and against him, about how he came to learn that he has HIV/AIDS, and about how he's going to change the world.   If you've seen Eugene's TikTok videos, you know how open, honest, and vibrant he is. If...

Being kind vs. being nice. What's the difference, and why does it matter? I like to think of it as being fake vs. being genuine. In today's culture, it's common to value how other people perceive you more than being true to yourself. In this way, "being nice" suppresses your feelings, emotions, fears, and truth. You can be honest and forthcoming, while also being kind.   On today's episode, my dau...

I'm back to solo episodes (for now), and today we're talking about confrontation. We're not born afraid of confrontation, but certainly many of us shy away from it. I've spent some time thinking about why this is and reprogramming my own thoughts and behaviors away from this mentality. And I want to share it all with you.   In this episode, I'm talking about how avoiding confrontation was instille...
