    The Surprising Connection Between Your Hands, Heart & Mind

    What do your hands have to do with your thoughts, emotions, memories, and growth? More than you might think. In this episode, Meredith and Wendolyn explore the surprising connection between your hands, your heart, and your mind—and why the simple act of creating, writing, building, or making something by hand can have a profound impact on how you process life. From the "Winter Is Coming Journal" to family recipes, woodworking, childhood memories, gardening, gratitude, and handwriting, this conversation is about preserving what matters before life gets hard. It's about creating reminders for your future self, quieting the mental noise, and reconnecting with the truths you've already learned. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, overthinking, stuck, or simply trying to be more intentional, this episode offers a simple practice that can help you think more clearly, stay grounded, and remember who you are—even during life's hardest seasons. Because sometimes the smallest things we do with our hands create the biggest changes in our lives.

    How to Stop Reacting So Fast: Pause, Gather Information, and Stop Taking It Personally

    Have you ever reacted before you had the full story? In this episode, Meredith and Wendolyn talk about the everyday moments when we get annoyed, activated, impulsive, disappointed, or start taking things personally. Through humor, real-life examples, parenting moments, restaurant frustrations, sidewalk irritation, and one unforgettable Donnie Wahlberg story, they explore how to pause before reacting, gather information, repair quickly, and remember that you have options. This conversation is about changing one small variable in the moment instead of trying to change your whole life overnight. This week’s small shift: write down one word, phrase, or reminder you want to practice.

    Not Everything Uncomfortable Requires a Boundary

    Not everything uncomfortable is a non-negotiable. Sometimes discomfort is a signal that something isn't right. Sometimes it's a boundary that needs to be honored. Sometimes it's fear asking you to stay safe. And sometimes it's the exact place growth is asking you to go. In this episode of Simply 1%, Meredith and Wendolyn continue their conversation on non-negotiables by exploring the difference between protecting your well-being and protecting your discomfort. They discuss tolerance, body awareness, guilt, boundaries, resilience, emotional energy, and why learning to sit with discomfort can help you build confidence, clarity, and self-trust. You'll hear conversations about: • When discomfort is information—and when it's avoidance • The difference between healthy boundaries and protective walls • Why your body remembers experiences your mind may have forgotten • How guilt can show up when you start honoring your needs • The role of tolerance, resilience, and growing through hard things • How to know whether a non-negotiable is serving your well-being or protecting a fear Your Simply 1% this week: Take a few minutes to write down your current non-negotiables. Not to make them permanent, but to get curious about them. Which ones protect your well-being? Which ones protect your comfort? And which ones might be ready for a closer look?

    I'm Not Doing That Anymore: The Purpose of Non-Negotiables

    What are the things you are simply not willing to do anymore? In this episode of Simply 1%, Meredith and Wendolyn start a conversation about non-negotiables: the boundaries, needs, preferences, and values that protect your peace, energy, relationships, and ability to function well. From reliable cars and orthopedic shoes to sleep, travel, doctors, dating, and the chaos we feel in our bodies, they explore how we often discover our non-negotiables backwards: through resentment, dread, shutdown, repeated conflict, or realizing, “I’m not doing that anymore.” This episode is a reminder that saying no does not mean you are closed off. Sometimes it means you finally know yourself. Your Simply 1% this week: notice where you feel dread, shutdown, resentment, or internal chaos — and ask, “Is this self-inflicted?”

    Being Right Can Hurt Your Relationships | How Timing And Delivery Change Everything

    Speak the truth in love. In this episode of Simply 1%, Meredith and Wendolyn revisit the motivational gifts and take a closer look at the Perceiver. They talk about what it means to see things clearly, speak truth, and notice patterns others may miss, while also learning how to practice grace, timing, and discernment. They unpack how the Perceiver gift can be both powerful and damaging if it becomes controlling, judgmental, or attached to being right. Through personal stories, friendship examples, and Meredith’s communication triad of audience, timing, and delivery, this episode explores how to use insight with maturity instead of making yourself the authority over someone else’s life.
