Episode Details

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Meghan Waldron, professional writer, university advisor, founder of Smart Solutions Tutoring, and co-host of the Women in Change USA podcast.

With nearly two decades of experience in K-12 education and higher ed, Meg breaks down how personal writing and reflection help students and leaders uncover their true purpose while building resilience through life's biggest transitions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Turning early vocational sparks into a lifelong career in teaching
• Overcoming early career challenges through strong support systems
• Guiding pre-med students to discover their "why" through personal essays
• Navigating career pivots while staying true to your core mission
• Balancing entrepreneurial projects with full-time professional stability
• Building empathy and grit through single motherhood and health challenges
• Using writing and storytelling as anchors for personal healing
• Championing female leadership and mentorship through Women in Change USA
• Pushing past personal and physical limits through experiential travel

About Dr. Meghan:

Lifelong Dreamer Dr. Meghan Waldron inspires students to share their stories, building confidence through hands-on writing, reflection, and honest feedback. More recently, she is encouraging female leaders to do the same through her work with Women in Change U.S.A. Dr. Waldron is a professional writer, and after nearly two decades in K12 education, she now advises and adjuncts at a Virginia University. When not working, Meghan is often found camping or climbing mountains (literally and figuratively) with her sons.
