Powerful Stuff

Why do other parents’ choices get under our skin, even when nobody said a word??! In this episode of Powerful Stuff, I get honest about the moments I’ve caught myself comparing and second-guessing, from birth plans to non-toxic parenting to the sleep training vs co-sleeping debate… and what those moments were really about.

I walk through a five-step coaching process for turning comparison and mom guilt into self-trust, why every family’s choices come down to values and risk tolerance, and how caring for your inner child makes it easier to respect parents who do it differen...

If you’ve been trying to figure out how to stop caring what people think, this one is for you! I spent my entire twenties wanting everyone to like me. Therapy and big breakthroughs helped, but what finally set me free...

...was learning to laugh with myself.

In this episode of Powerful Stuff, I share why people-pleasing and the need for approval feel so safe, how they quietly keep us stuck in “not enough,” and what to do instead. Along the way, I tell the story of a Harvard club that turned one of my songs...

What if the parts of yourself you're most ashamed of are actually the keys to your greatest transformation??!

Just in time for Halloween and SPOOKY SEASON, we doin' a little witchy episode of Powerful Stuff, where we're diving into shadow work, self-sabotage,  and how to transform your darkest patterns into your greatest superpowers~

You know that part of yourself that keeps repeating the same toxic relationship patterns, doom scrolling, comparing yourself to others, or sabotaging success right when things are getting good?

That's your shadow at work. 

But instead of...

Do you ever wonder why EVERYTHING is triggering you all at once when you’ve already done so much work on yourself??!

In this episode of Powerful Stuff, I’m breaking down how to stop getting triggered by the same situations over and over and over again, why emotional triggers can sometimes intensify when you’re on the edge of real personal growth, and how to use those moments to create a completely different response.

We’ll talk about the patterns underneath emotional triggers, self-sabotage, inner-child reactions and that frustrating feeling of knowing exactly WHY you beha...

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t that you’ve fallen behind, but that you’re trying to return to a version of yourself that no longer fits??!

In this episode, I’m talking about the myth of the comeback, what postpartum taught me about identity, ambition, and capacity, and why real growth often starts with an honest look at where you actually are. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, burnout, a career shift, or any major life transition, this is about letting go of the pressure to “get back” and figuring out how to move forward from h...

As high achievers, sometimes we can even try to optimize our vacations!!

I went to Lombok thinking I might come back with some kind of perfect reset or revelation. So much had gone into getting there, the travel, the logistics, leaving my baby, making the trip happen, that somewhere along the way I started feeling like I needed to make it "worth it."

"I should relax deeply...I should have a breakthrough...I should come home changed," are sneaky thoughts I noticed myself thinking.

And then I remembered that none of that was...

When the birth plan ends, the postparty begins!!

Recorded live in Los Angeles, POSTPARTY is my stand-up comedy special about the hormonal free fall, identity crisis and logistical fever dream of becoming a mother. I get into breastfeeding, baby sleep, marriage after a baby, postpartum identity shift, childcare and the impossible pressure to perform motherhood correctly.

This is the stuff I normally reserve for the mom group chat, and is for anyone who is completely in love with motherhood while also feeling slightly unhinged. 

Are you ready to harness the magic of Lion's Gate Portal to step into your most powerful self yet? I THOUGHT SO!

This week, we’re walking through the Lion’s Gate Portal, a powerful energetic alignment that peaks on 8/8 and invites you to shed the old and boldly claim what’s next. Rooted in ancient Egyptian astronomy and Leo season’s heart-led fire, this moment asks: Who are you when you stop hiding your magic?

In this episode, I break down what the Lion’s Gate Portal is,  and how to harness its energy to amplify...

Seven months postpartum, I hosted my first event back, and it brought up far more than I expected!

In this episode, I share what it felt like to return to something I love while navigating the pressure to make it successful, the temptation to focus on who was not there, and the deeper work of appreciating the people who were.

I talk about releasing expectations, redefining what progress looks like postpartum, and letting go of the idea that returning means immediately operating at your old capacity. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is...

This week, I accidentally became my own client!

After putting myself out there for an opportunity that felt exciting, I found myself caught in an old shame spiral. Despite years of coaching others through self-worth, confidence, and rejection, I noticed myself obsessing over someone else's response and making it mean something about me. In this episode, I share the surprisingly vulnerable experience that brought up old stories from my twenties, why major identity shifts can make us feel exposed again, and the coaching tools I used to move through it. 

We explore the difference between g...

The way we speak to ourselves shapes everything: our relationships, nervous systems, creativity, confidence, and ability to actually enjoy life!

So why is self-compassion often the hardest thing to give ourselves??!

In this episode, I talk about why so many high achievers and people pleasers are deeply compassionate toward everyone except themselves, how perfectionism and inner criticism masquerade as growth, and why learning to meet ourselves with more kindness may be some of the deepest healing work there is!

I share my own journey as an “internal helicopter mom” to my inner child, espe...

One of the biggest shifts I’ve seen in myself and my clients has nothing to do with tactics!!

...it’s what happens when we stop waiting for permission from other people and start giving it to ourselves.

Permission to change, grow, slow down. Permission to evolve beyond the version of ourselves other people got comfortable with.

In this episode of Powerful Stuff, I talk about why self-permission clears more blocks than overthinking ever will. Lately, that’s looked like giving myself permission postpartum to move differently, trust my own timing, and stop seekin...

 If you keep waiting to feel "ready," you might be waiting forever!! In this episode, I share why fear is often the clearest sign you’re stretching into a bigger version of yourself. From booking my own European tour to getting my first coaching client to rebuilding after being a failed startup founder, I break down how to move through imposter syndrome and act before you have all the proof. I talk about what fear actually feels like when you’re in it, why so many of us confuse expansion with a red flag, and how to stop letting self...

Why do some people walk into a room and feel instantly at home… while others feel like outsiders no matter what they’ve achieved??!?!

In this episode, I’m unpacking my lifelong relationship with belonging… from feeling like the outsider growing up to becoming someone who builds rooms for a living.

Long before I was a coach or facilitator, I was hosting dinners, curating spaces, and trying to create the kind of connection I couldn’t always find. And if I’m being honest, a lot of it started from wanting to be chosen, seen...

In this episode, my husband Spencer and I share the full story of our son’s birth... including how it didn’t go as planned and how that experience became an initiation into surrender, trust, and partnership.

We talk honestly about labor expectations versus reality, the emotional and relational impact of birth, and what the first 40 days postpartum really looked like for us. From navigating exhaustion and uncertainty to learning how to support each other as new parents, this conversation is a real-time reflection on becoming a family!

Spencer chimes in with his perspective on the...

“Who am I to do this?” is the doorway, not the stop sign.

I explored this question with one of my besties and one of the most authentic people I know, Rezlo, as we talked about his journey from corporate life to yoga teaching to coaching, all rooted in deeper self-trust and self-love. What we both reflect on is how, when we feel called to lead or serve, that question "who am I to...?" often shows up loudly. Not as a reason to stop, but as an invitation to look inward. Life coaching and service aren’t about...

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t a lack of self-awareness — but too much of it?

In this episode, I share a story from mile 92 of the Whistler Ironman...when I realized I’d been riding in the wrong gear the entire race, my thighs were on fire, people were passing me, and I had one hour to finish the bike or be disqualified from the entire event.

I couldn’t change the hill...but I could change how much I suffered on it.

That moment became a metaphor for something I see co...

If you’re ready to move forward but don’t want to repeat old patterns at a faster pace, this episode is for you.

In the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Snake is about shedding, endings, and deep internal change. The Year of the Horse brings momentum, confidence, leadership, and forward motion. In this episode of Powerful Stuff, I guide you through the shift between the two so you can integrate what you’re releasing and step into what’s next with clarity and energy.

You’ll get a simple b...

What happens when you stop forcing life and let it move through you??

In this stand-up comedy special, a 9 month pregnant Meredith Baker explores The Pregnant Pause... that strange, sacred space between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.

This is not just a show about pregnancy, however!
It’s about identity shifts, surrender, control, humor as healing, and what happens when life asks you to soften instead of push harder.

Through sharp comedy, vulnerable storytelling, and moments of collective reflection, Meredith weaves together:

Pregnancy and hypnobirthing metaphors

We’re not here to pretend our relationship is perfect. In this episode, Spencer and I break down the biggest patterns we had to face-from feeling unseen, to poorly timed vulnerability, to how pregnancy amplified every unspoken need. We share the process we used with our Gottman coach, how we learned to repair faster, and the rituals we created to rebuild trust and adoration as we transition from pregnancy parenthood. If you crave a partnership that evolves instead of erodes, this is your roadmap.

If you find yourself being triggered by someone else, judging them, or finding yourself building up internal walls, this breathwork is here to help you turn the judgement into curiosity to leave space for more possibility, connection, or freedom on the other side!

Have you every gotten frustrated because you're doing 'all the things' to manifest or step into your vision- and you feel BLOCKED? You may find yourself thinking "why hasn't it happened yet?" or "will it really happen for me?" If this is you, have no fear, Powerful Stuff is here!

I give you real talk on why you may be getting in the way of your dreams and quick steps to get unblocked so you can start stepping *powerfully* into your next chapter!

If you're feeling like you're being revisited by an 'old test' you thought you already passed, this episode is for you!

We go into why old tests and triggers re-appear and we replace sneaky old stories like "I thought I already healed this!" with insight on what they are teaching us!

When you're feeling hard on yourself or need to be reminded of your POWER, do this quick breathwork and meditation to center in the love that is YOU!

As I prepare for birth for the first time, I’ve been deep in hypnobirthing... practicing how to breathe, soften, and surrender through each surge. And what’s wild is how much it mirrors the work I do with my clients around emotional triggers!

In both labor and life, the body tightens, the mind tries to control, and the invitation is the same: breathe instead of resist.

This episode is about what hypnobirthing is teaching me before birth-about presence, trust, and letting intensity move through instead of getting stuck in it.

If y...

If you're feeling anxious about an upcoming social gathering or want to break a cycle of spiraling after a social moment, listen to this meditation to find your center and reset! 

You don’t always need a new hack, healer, or high to change your life. Sometimes the real transformation is in doing what works...again and again. This week, I share insights from my time attending Unleash the Power Within where I got to finally see Tony Robbins live and experience his magic and why remembering, not reinventing, might just be your most powerful move yet.

Gratitude is the QUICKEST way to get what you want to call in because it helps us focus on what already IS working, which strengthens our foundation and sends a message to our subconscious/the universe "yes, thank you, more of this!" 

This is a quick 6 minute breathwork to get back into a state of gratitude so you can call in your vision from a grounded and powerful place! 

Do you ever find yourself having a peak experience but then unsure of how to integrate it when you return back to 'normal life?' Or maybe you have the idea of what you want to step into next and what you're ready to 'birth' but you haven't slowed down enough to create the space to make it happen?

In this episode, I talk about how literal pregnancy and getting ready to 'birth' my next iteration of my business has been a reminder to me to create space and pause to allow the learnings from the past...
