234: You’re Not Awakening, You’re Avoiding
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this episode, I’m diving into something that’s been sitting heavy on my heart, what it really means to experience a spiritual awakening in today’s world, and how we begin to see humanity differently when we do. After a recent healing session, I had a moment of clarity that shifted how I view language, culture, religion, and identity. What if these things were never meant to divide us… but to push us toward deeper awareness, connection, and love? In this conversation, I walk you through: - How our differences are tied to spirituality and growth, not separation - The role of ego,...

233: You Can’t Heal What You Won’t Face (MAP Truth)
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this episode, I’m diving into a powerful healing modality that has completely transformed the way I approach self improvement, emotional wellness, and spirituality, MAP (Make Anything Possible) healing. After nearly 20 years in energy work, I didn’t expect to discover something that would shift my perspective this much. What started as a simple workshop turned into a deeper understanding of how our subconscious mind stores trauma, shapes our behaviors, and even influences our ability to regulate emotions. If you’ve been on a journey of spiritual awakening, or you’re actively...

230: Religion & The Person
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this episode, I’m opening a conversation that feels uncomfortable, necessary, and long overdue. I’m talking about the difference between religion as a label and the actual behavior of the person claiming it, and why what we do matters more than what we call ourselves. We live in a time where identity is wrapped in religion, politics, and belief systems. But I want to ask a harder question: if our actions don’t match our values, what does the label even mean? Inside this episode, I explore: - The gap between religious identity and real-life behavior - Why calling yourself moral...

229: The GREAT Awakening
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this intense and deeply personal episode, I’m talking about what I believe is the GREAT Awakening, the moment we’re living in where truth, power, politics, and collective consciousness are colliding in a way none of us can ignore anymore. Every day feels surreal. Every headline feels heavier. And whether you want to look or not, something inside you knows we are being pushed to wake up. This is not a neat, polished conversation. It’s raw. It’s emotional. It’s uncomfortable. And it asks the question so many people are afraid to say out loud: What happens when you realize the...

228: No Contact? Blame Frequency!
Meredyth with a Why: Wisdom, Truth, Soul Guided Spirituality
In this episode, I’m talking about something a lot of families are quietly living through right now: going no contact. I’m diving into why it happens, why it hurts, and why it’s often less about one big moment and more about frequency, the way we grow, change, and emotionally outpace the patterns we were raised in. This isn’t about blaming parents. It isn’t about blaming kids. It’s about understanding what happens when judgment replaces listening, when boundaries aren’t respected, and when healing gets postponed for years. If you’ve ever felt exhausted around your family, or...
info_outlineIn 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!
