Join me and podcaster, model and Youtuber, Meredith Hackwith Edwards for a fascinating conversation about living to the fullest. In addition to her own society culture show, Meredith for Real: The Curious Introvert, she has produced Escambia County School’s Podcast, Voices United in Education, which won a Gold Addy Award in 2023. She was also named one of Podcast Magazines 40 under 40 in 2022.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • why we must stop tying our identities to what we do for a living,
  • the importance of interrupting patterns for living a less judgy existence,
  • the beauty of beginner’s mind,
  • how she hunts for ideas, and
  • how to balance chasing shiny objects with everything else that living requires.

  1. Hey there! Someone in my Facebook group shared this site with us so
    I came to take a look. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m book-marking and
    will be tweeting this to my followers! Excellent blog
    and outstanding style and design.

  2. Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time selecting
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.

    P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    1. Hi. I use WordPress (I’m a big fan) with the Hello Elementor theme, so my designer could create it custom. Hope that’s helpful!
