In this episode, Samantha sits down with Meagan O’Nan, a human connection speaker, consultant, and TEDx speaker whose life and work revolve around one powerful mission: helping people stay connected even when they disagree. From being outed and ostracized in Mississippi to returning years later to build a life rooted in healing and purpose, Meagan shares how she’s learned to bridge impossible divides. If you’ve ever struggled to talk with someone you love who holds radically different beliefs, this conversation will remind you of what’s possible when we lead with vulnerability, presence, and heart.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why hard conversations with people we love often feel the scariest
  • Meagan’s powerful story of rejection, return, and reconciliation
  • The difference between “trying to understand” and “trying to change”
  • How to prepare yourself emotionally and spiritually for difficult discussions
  • Why cancel culture in personal relationships often does more harm than good
  • Real-world examples of navigating differences with family, clients, and community
  • Grounding practices to reconnect with your own humanity before reaching out to others
