Crisis CEO & Hospice Chaplain Meredith Parfet on Regret, Leadership & the “Next Right Thing”

In this inspiring episode of the Power Up You Life Podcast, hosts Kelly Resendez and Mandy McAllister interview Meredith Parfait, CEO of Ravenyard Group and a humanist hospice chaplain/death doula. Meredith shares how a business failure led to grief, identity change, and lessons from the dying—especially to avoid regret by saying what matters. She offers tools for crisis and clarity (“What is my priority here?” and “What’s the next right thing?”), explains “barrier vs. detonator” crisis styles, and reframes leadership as being ordinary and humanizing others. She encourages women to help each other through radical generosity, asking for help, and “tying each other’s shoes,” and encourages listeners to express appreciation and love more openly.

This is one you won’t want to miss!
