In this episode of Meredyth with a Why, I sit down with Lauren Meadowsweet, a quantum enthusiast and the voice behind My Future Healed Self, for a conversation that truly made me pause, reflect, and see things differently.

We talk about how our thoughts, emotions, and subconscious programming don't just influence our mindset, they shape our health, relationships, nervous system, and the reality we're creating every single day. This isn't a surface-level conversation. It's thoughtful, honest, and grounded in lived experience, curiosity, and deep awareness.

In this episode, I share a conversation with Lauren about:

- Why the body's ability to heal itself is already proof that more is possible, and why we take that miracle for granted

- How fear becomes a default program, the constant "bear is chasing you" state, and how it impacts long-term health and emotional wellbeing

- What it looks like to deprogram yourself in real time, noticing inherited patterns, attachment styles, and self-pressure in everyday moments

- The mind-body connection and how suppressed emotions and chronic stress often show up physically

- What happens when meditation, gratitude, and awareness move from theory into daily life

- Active faith, choosing to believe that everything is working for your highest good, even when it doesn't make sense yet

- Quantum consciousness and becoming your future self, and why nothing about your destiny is fixed


This episode is expansive, grounding, and surprisingly practical. If you're curious about quantum healing, mindset shifts, emotional release, spiritual growth, epigenetics, or breaking free from subconscious patterns, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible crowned medium and multidimensional healer, Lorenda Carr, for a deep, funny, and very real conversation about what it actually means to live as a psychic medium, channel, and spiritual teacher in everyday life.

If you are into spiritual awakening, mediumship, intuitive development, past life regression, quantum healing, and spirit guides, this one is for you.

Here is what we dive into in this episode:

- Lorenda's "you cannot make this up" mediumship origin story
From being a highly sensitive kid in Indiana, to winning not one but multiple psychic readings

- What a psychic medium and channel actually does
How information comes in through clairvoyance, clairsentience, and clairaudience, and why it is not always about "seeing dead people" standing in the room

- Higher self work and multidimensional healing
How she goes into trance, connects with a client's higher self, sees past lives, stuck energy, and current patterns

- Ethics, discernment, and spiritual responsibility
The world of channeling famous people, psychic TikTok, and why ethical mediums need strong boundaries, clear intentions, and a deep respect for people's grief and healing journeys

- Science, energy, and the quantum field
We connect mediumship with energy, vibration, timelines, and why good mediums love science and good scientists should stay curious about consciousness and the unseen.

If you have ever wondered, "Am I intuitive?" or "Could I actually learn to connect with my own spirit guides and higher self?" this conversation will make you feel less alone, more empowered, and a lot more curious about your own gifts.

In this episode, I am opening the doors wide and taking you with me into one of the biggest turning points of my life. "Everything Is You" is raw, honest, and straight from the deepest place inside me.


After 220 episodes, a full emotional breakdown, 10 days alone in a condo, and one interview that shattered my silence for good, I finally understood something I had been ignoring for far too long.


Everything in your life is a reflection of you. Your relationships, your health, your triggers, your happiness. All of it.


This episode is where I finally step back into my truth.


You will hear:

- The interview that forced me to confront how much I had been holding back
- How chasing "mainstream success" pulled me away from who I really am
- The emotional crash that left me overwhelmed, compressed, and unable to function. And what it taught me
- Why I am coming back to the raw, unfiltered solo episodes that built this community in the first place
- How your triggers are your teachers
- Why indifference is the real sign of healing, not pretending you are okay


In this episode, I am inviting you to stop ignoring the messages your world is giving you. To stop being agreeable, beige, and afraid. To start listening to the parts of you that are begging to be heard.

The truth is simple. Everything is always speaking to you. The question is, are you listening?

In this episode, I had a deep and honest conversation with Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer that pushes beyond comfort, challenges assumptions, and invites every listener to explore what they truly believe. Jackson is a member of the White House Faith Council, founder of Pastors for Trump, and one of the most outspoken voices at the intersection of faith, politics, and national leadership.

I chose to have this episode because I believe real growth happens when we are willing to sit with perspectives that stretch us, activate us, or help us clarify our own truth.

Whether you agree, disagree, or sit somewhere in between, this episode asks you to listen with curiosity, self-reflection, and grounded awareness.

In This Episode, We Dive Into . . .

— Faith in the Oval Office: Jackson shares how he became part of the White House Faith Council and his role in uncovering what he believes to be systemic anti-Christian bias

— Christian Nationalism Explained: We unpack the controversial label "white Christian nationalist," and the real tension behind religion's role in modern American politics

— Church vs. State (and the Real History Behind It): Jackson breaks down the origins of "separation of church and state"

— Immigration, Justice, and Compassion: We engage in an intense, honest conversation about ICE, illegal immigration, law enforcement tactics, and what it means to view these issues through the lens of Christ vs. the lens of government

— Abortion, Morality, and the Value of Life: Jackson shares his unwavering stance on abortion… creating one of the rawest exchanges in this episode

— Fear of God vs. Relationship With God: We explore reverence, spiritual hierarchy, and how different understandings of God shape our behavior, compassion, and political worldview.

This whole episode is not simple, neat, or one-sided. But it is REAL. It is ALIVE. And if you're listening, I trust it's because something in your spirit is ready for a deeper look at faith, politics, identity, and personal conviction. Tune in now!

In this episode of Meredyth with a Why, I open up about a raw look at faith, spirituality, political division, and the rise of Christian nationalism in America. I wanted to share the truth about what happened in my recent interview with PastorJackson Lahmeyer, what I felt, and why this episode may challenge what you believe about compassion, justice, and faith.

This isn't just commentary. It's me being honest about what it means to stay grounded in love when confronted with beliefs that feel out of alignment. I explained why the conversation left me overwhelmed, what I wished I had said, and why I refuse to quietly support cruelty, racism, or blind obedience wrapped in the language of faith.

Here's what you'll hear in this episode:

- Faith, Politics & "God-Ordained Government": How his interpretation of scripture clashed with the teachings of Jesus I follow.

- Immigration & Cruelty: Why current treatment of migrants and families contradicts compassion, humanity, and Christ's example.

- Racism, "White Culture," & Otherness: Why the idea of "white culture" is harmful and rooted in exclusion.

- Misogyny & Women's Narratives: My reaction to the Jezebel label and harmful assumptions about women's success.

- Finding My Voice: What this experience taught me about speaking up, even when I'm overwhelmed.

This is more than a reflection on a difficult interview. It's a reminder to stay rooted in compassion, truth, and love when the world pushes us toward fear, judgment, and division. Tune in!

In this eye-opening and incredibly validating episode, I sit down with CEO coach, venture capitalist, and author Kate Lowry to unpack one of the biggest workplace issues we are facing today, fear-based leadership. From tech to corporate to nonprofits, and even inside families and relationships, fear-driven leaders are everywhere, and most people have no idea how to protect themselves without shutting down or burning out.

Kate and I dive into why these leadership styles are becoming more common, how they impact your mental health and professional confidence, and what you can do to stay grounded, empowered, and clear. If you have ever worked under a controlling boss, felt stuck in a toxic workplace, or struggled to speak up, this conversation will give you the tools and language you have been missing.

In this episode, we talked about:

- What fear-based leadership really looks like, micromanagement, manipulation, perfectionism, triangulation, emotional immaturity, and why turnover is often the biggest red flag.

- Why fear-driven leaders are increasing across industries and how cultural, economic, and generational shifts are feeding this trend.

- How emotionally immature leaders operate and why they get stuck in "me vs. you" thinking instead of "us vs. the problem."

- The tools you can use right now to navigate toxic bosses, managing attention and availability, using the "spectrum of resistance," protecting your autonomy, and staying grounded.

- Why real leadership requires vulnerability, collaboration, repair, and the willingness to admit you do not know everything.

- Why top performers are not always the best managers and what actually makes someone a strong, emotionally intelligent leader.

- What to do when a boss steals your idea, plus a communication framework that helps you address issues without triggering defensiveness.

- How fear-based dynamics show up outside of work, in families, parenting, government, and relationships, and why recognizing them is the first step to real change.

- Why psychological safety and emotional intelligence are the future of successful teams and high-performing companies.

This was such a powerful and important conversation. If you want to understand fear-based leadership, protect your peace at work, or become a more grounded and compassionate leader yourself, this episode will speak directly to you. Tune in!

In this eye-opening episode of Meredyth With a Why, I sit down with world-renowned cardiologist, professor, and author, Dr. Peter Kowey to uncover the truth about what's really happening inside America's broken healthcare system and what it means for all of us.

This conversation hit home for me. As someone who's personally navigated hospitals with loved ones and seen the chaos firsthand, I wanted to understand why our healthcare system feels so impossible to trust and what can actually be done to fix it.

Here's what we dig into:

➡️ The collapse of U.S. healthcare — why hospitals are closing, costs are exploding, and how these problems reach every patient, even those with "good insurance."

➡️ Profit over patients — how corporate healthcare, private equity, and profit-driven policies are destroying real patient care.

➡️ Becoming your own advocate — why you should never go to the doctor alone, how to prepare questions, record appointments, and make sure nothing gets missed.

➡️ The human connection that's missing — how our medical schools are failing to teach empathy and communication, and what that means for the next generation of doctors.

➡️ Holistic healing that works — from nutrition and mindset to preventive care and emotional wellness, we talk about what truly creates lasting health.

➡️ Why real change starts with us — how we can use our voices, votes, and awareness to demand reform in a system that's meant to heal, not harm.

This episode is raw, real, and full of insight. It's about accountability, compassion, and hope, for our families, our doctors, and the future of healthcare itself. Tune in!

When I first read Cevin Soling's work, it completely changed how I saw education, and honestly, how I saw the system itself. In this episode, I sit down with Cevin, a Harvard scholar, musician, and award-winning filmmaker behind The War on Kids, to talk about how schools have become institutions of control rather than places of curiosity and growth.

We dive into some hard truths and some wild stories that will make you question everything you thought you knew about "a good education."

Here's what we get into:

• The hidden cost of schooling — how public education often mirrors prisons and strips away children's civil rights in the name of discipline and order.

• Grades vs. growth — why being a "good student" does not necessarily mean you are learning, and how grades measure obedience more than potential.

• Real learning that lasts — his powerful ideas about self-directed learning, mentorship, and community-based education that spark curiosity instead of conformity.

• The ADHD myth — reframing so-called "disorders" as natural human differences that can become superpowers outside the classroom.

• A story you will not forget — how he ended up being gifted part of an island by a tribe who believed his arrival was prophesied, and what that moment taught him about culture, freedom, and indoctrination.

This conversation is raw, thought-provoking, and full of those "wait, what?" moments that make you stop and rethink how deeply the system shapes who we become. If you have ever felt like school was more about control than connection, this episode is for you.
