    Talk 30 to Me

    Talk 30 to Me

    It’s My 30th Birthday!! As I begin this new chapter in my life, I’m taking time to share some of my biggest takeaways from my 20s which include being open to new experiences, defining what success is for myself and understanding that this is NOT as good as it gets.

    Key Takeaways:
    You will not have all the answers in your 20s. Embrace the journey of self-discovery even if it means not having everything figured out.Imperfection is part of the process. You'll stumble, make errors, and that's absolutely fine—mistakes don't define you.The art of exploration also involves recognizing when to let go, when to move forward, and when to release what no longer serves you.The comparison game is nonexistent when you've defined what success means to you—because that's what truly matters.30 isn't a finish line—it's a starting line. It's not an end; it's the launchpad of new beginnings.
    Join me in celebrating this milestone as I raise a toast to what's ahead in this new decade. Cheers to 30!

    Who You Are vs What You Do with Amanda Milligan

    When someone says “tell me about yourself”, we often lead with our careers, titles, and accolades. But who you are goes way beyond job titles and accomplishments.

Join Meaux and her guest, the insightful Amanda Milligan—friend, marketer, and mental health advocate—for a heartfelt conversation about separating your identity from your career, and navigating the journey of self-discovery and mental health.

But your identity should be rooted in much more.The distinction between who you are and what you do is crucial. It shapes your self-perception and how you engage with the world.Mental health is wealth and you are not defined by your diagnosis.

Too Real!

Meaux does not disappoint! I love everything that this podcast stands for...including the name! I really appreciate that she is candid about her experiences and doesn't take herself too seriously. It's the right amount of realness and the right amount of humor that makes you feel like you're getting advice from a friend.

Meaux Love, Meaux Wisdom, Meaux Stories, MEAUX POWER

I am a friend, brother and family member to Meaux. However, knowing Meaux we talk a lot of business and she truly has structured this show no different from what you see and hear on iHeart Radio, ABC, KN1070 News Radio, Oprah, and some of your favorite talk shows you know or have grown up with.

As a listener of the show, I enjoy hearing Meaux give context of her stories with anecdotal friendly wisdom and story of her lens yet mending that same opportunity equally to her guests and the external factors she mentions and makes vulnerable from her own life.

This is truly a show that is for the individual, group, family, company, church, institution, organization and has depth and gravitas to how we navigate our lives. Meaux is not just a storyteller but she’s the Queen of the “isms” and no one does it like her within the space of radio/podcasting and understands the dynamics of delivery and sound married to marketing and branding merged with the vocality and power, from the heart.

I am honored to not only have been featured on the show, but also listen to her as my friend and a life speaker to all who tune in - I also consume her content as a frequent listener who understands and listens with a new ear each time I tune in to the show.

To all who may read this, tell someone about this show as the content is rich, fruitful, worthy, positive, praiseworthy, and beautiful. Meaux is this generations leader of facilitation and standard practice of space making. Salute this show and the opportunity to come in contact with this podcast and to all seeing their true selves.
