In today’s episode, I sit down with the one‑and‑only Meridith (@CrookedPeach) — the fun, fiery, practical, no‑nonsense creator who rebuilt her entire life after a near‑death experience on her bathroom floor. She’s the woman who dances in her kitchen, grows her own food, teaches clean eating, swears bacon is its own food group, and uses plant medicine like mullein + chamomile tea to clear out Canadian wildfire smoke and heal her body from the inside out.This conversation is real, hilarious, emotional, and packed with wisdom.
