Meredith Hackwith Edwards on Beginner's Mind (and Making Your Eight-Year-Old Self Proud)

#116 - 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.
