How to Choose to Live with Host Meridith Alexander

Motivational Speaker, People Strategist and Optimal Performance Coach Meridith Alexander

What would it take to unleash an EPIC new chapter in your life? In your career? Are there questions that every single one of us should be asking if we want to look back and know that we have truly lived? Are there strategies that can help us lead lives that resonate with our deepest values and loftiest dreams? I’m Meridith Alexander, a Forbes Coaches Council Breakthrough Performance coach, motivational speaker and Founder of the EPIC YOU Evolution movement. This is the podcast where we strive to not only answer but embrace the opportunities that come from daring to ask one BOLD question. It’s the question that we believe is at the root of all success, all EPIC-NESS. That question? How to CHOOSE to live… In 2016, a boulder crashed down the side of a mountain in Colombia, South America and horrifically landed on my daughter. Miraculously, she survived and far from teaching us how to face death, this boulder came with some powerful lessons on how we can choose to live. We all face different boulders in our lives. Some big. Some small. All too often we allow these boulders to block us from becoming who we are meant to be. I believe that we shouldn't have to face a literal boulder in order to embrace who we are AND to learn how to truly LIVE. In this podcast, I and an array of truly EPIC guests will explore what these boulders in our lives can teach us. Can these experiences hold the secret to those big answers that so many of us seek? Can they reveal our life purpose, our deepest passion? The blindspot opportunities that we might be missing? I am Meridith Alexander, your guide into the realm of Limitless Possibilities and I’m here to help you answer those questions by sharing with you the stories, unique approaches and perspectives of our insightful guests. Our mission is to not only inspire you. It’s to guide YOU to answer your own powerful “how to choose to live” questions — and come deliciously alive in the process. Welcome to the How to Choose to Live Podcast!

    Ep 25 When Can Moving Forward Mean Stopping to Take a Pause with Guest Jeffrey Williams mp4

    When Can Moving Forward Mean Stopping to Take a Pause? Whether you consider yourself to be an action taker or someone who tends to beat yourself up for not taking enough action, this episode is for you. In this day and age, we tend to equate physical action with productivity and progress. However, we often find ourselves overwhelmed or feeling stuck which can lead to anxiety, self-doubt and even depression. In this episode, my EPIC guest Jeffrey Williams and I talk about the critical (and often overlooked) role of the pauses between the notes — the times of positively focused self reflection and nonjudgmental ideation. Just as the trajectory of the bow relies on the quality of the pullback, the results that we see in our lives both personally and professionally demand deliberate introspection before hitting “go”. And yet, many of us have lost the ability to constructively reflect so what’s the answer? Join us as we explore how we can tap into the superpower of reflection and even imagination to achieve more influence, impact and income. And so much more! Love this episode?

    Episode 19 with Keith Anderson: Exploring the Alchemy of Uncovering (And Pursuing) the Real You

    Meridith Alexander's HOW TO CHOOSE TO LIVE podcast -- Episode 19 with Keith Anderson: Exploring the Alchemy of Uncovering (And Pursuing) the Real You Ever wished that you had been one of those who identified your purpose and passion early in life? Ever wondered if you’ll ever find that true purpose and passion? Is it possible that our purpose and passion change and evolve? Is it possible to fall out of love with something that used to light you up? In this week’s episode of the HOW TO CHOOSE TO LIVE podcast, my guest Keith Anderson and I, Meridith Alexander, ponder those very questions and more. Keith shares his experience of making the painful decision to leave a career that he was sure would turn out to be his calling. We talk about feelings of risk and uncertainty — and reasons why so many people settle for the unhappy familiar rather than brave the uncertain potential for a life that feels EPIC. You’ll learn the value (and “how to”) of building inner game muscles that help you ask the “tough questions”, recalibrate your focus, buffer up your grit and amplify your clarity so that you can pursue the next chapter in your life with enthusiasm, exhilaration and certainty.

Using a unique blend of science-backed techniques in linguistics and psychology alongside predictive astrology, he supports his clients to land roles that match their worth. His journey began as a teacher, feeling depressed, underpaid, and undervalued, until a turning point in the emergency room pushed him to seek something better. After leaving teaching, he secured roles at Google and Uber, eventually moving into leadership positions at Meta, Calibrate, and DoorDash. Now, he’s on a mission to help others find careers that truly fit them, where they are valued and never settle for less.

I’m Meridith Alexander, a Forbes Coaches Council Breakthrough Performance coach, motivational speaker and Founder of the EPIC YOU Evolution movement. This is the podcast where we strive to not only answer but embrace the opportunities that come from daring to ask one BOLD question. It’s the question that we believe is at the root of all success, all EPIC-NESS. That question? How to CHOOSE to live… In 2016, a boulder crashed down the side of a mountain in Colombia, South America and horrifically landed on my daughter. Miraculously, she survived and far from teaching us how to face death, this boulder came with some powerful lessons on how we can choose to live. We all face different boulders in our lives. Some big. Some small. All too often we allow these boulders to block us from becoming who we are meant to be. I believe that we shouldn't have to face a literal boulder in order to embrace who we are AND to learn how to truly LIVE. In this podcast, I and an array of truly EPIC guests will explore what these boulders in our lives can teach us. Can these experiences hold the secret to those big answers that so many of us seek? Can they reveal our life purpose, our deepest passion? The blindspot opportunities that we might be missing? I am Meridith Alexander, your guide into the realm of Limitless Possibilities and I’m here to help you answer those questions by sharing with you the stories, unique approaches and perspectives of our insightful guests. Our mission is to not only inspire you. It’s to guide YOU to answer your own powerful “how to choose to live” questions — and come deliciously alive in the process. Welcome to the How to Choose to Live Podcast!
