Meredyth with a Why
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.

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,...

Here’s what we’ll cover today: Facing the fear of judgment: The struggles of speaking out, being vulnerable, and putting myself out there. How I overcame the fear: After 52 years of hiding, I decided to show up, even if it makes...

In this episode, I sit down with George Zavershinskiy, a former Soviet Nuclear Scientist who walked away from creating weapons of mass destruction to become a priest and author. His autobiographical novel Atomic Shepherd is a reflection of a life transformed, from secret research labs in Siberia to a deep spiritual awakening that changed everything.

Pouch, Natalie Doherty and Amy Seratt, to talk about healing, recovery, and the importance of community when life takes unexpected turns.

Molly bravely shares her story of abuse, grooming, and an alleged assault that forever changed her life, along with her chilling brush with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Listening to her describe how she escaped, and how her...
