A mother and founder of Journey to Happiness Movement Inc, Camille Butler, joins host Meghan Enriquez for a raw and heartfelt conversation about loving your family, advocating for their health, loss of a child and legacy. Inspired by the late Journey Bessai, the J2HM was founded as a means to educate the world about the possible complications involved with carrying the sickle cell trait (SCT), such as Renal Medullary Carcinoma (RMC). Prior to her RMC diagnosis, Journey was full of life, talent and dreams, but in only a 5-month period her dreams shattered as she began to realize the inevitable; life was slipping away. Before Journey’s death, she spoke about spreading the word about the sickle cell trait to the masses. Because of the pain that she endured and also what heartache her family experienced, this movement was established. www.journeytohappinessmovement.org  For more info visit www.true-conversations.com

Meghan Enriquez is the founder and CEO of TRUE Conversations. Soon after the birth of her second child, Meghan had what she calls a “face plant moment,” which ignited her to create TRUE Conversations. She is highly sought after to speak with, train, and interview a variety of audiences around the most stigmatized issues of today: communication, leadership, and redefining true success. Meghan served as an Intervention Director at Johns Hopkins University for a clinical trial while juggling the demands of motherhood. This millennial, Asian-American entrepreneur who came to America as an infant adoptee has earned her bachelor’s degree in both Exercise Science and Psychology from Slippery Rock University. Join me for this uplifting conversation with Meghan! TWEET: There was an undeniable force that wouldn’t let me sleep until I took #action. @trueconversationsllc   The “Face Plant Moment” Have you experienced these moments? Meghan describes it as the moment when you are utterly spent, barely able to function, and just surviving through life. For her, this came after the birth of her second child, when physical problems dominated her life. The great disconnect with what you want out of life and what your reality has become can make you say, “There is something wrong with me.” These moments have the power to change you, and Meghan shares how she learned to be “transparent with purpose” to empower and uplift others. TWEET: Being #transparent with a purpose was a formula the world was really craving. @trueconversationsllc     Open Minds and Hearts Can YOU see both sides of an issue? Stigmatized issues are changing constantly in today’s world. Meghan says there is a “lost art” of being able to respectfully disagree. We need open minds and open hearts to call people to transparency and honesty. When people show up with this attitude, magic happens. We know that NOT being able to see another’s perspective is NOT working in our society. Meghan says, “We want to create a new normal.” TWEET: We want people to feel more capable, more validated, and gain more #wisdom. @trueconversationsllc   Wanting to be Understood Isn’t that what we all crave—being understood? Meghan explains the bullying she experienced as she grew up as an adopted Korean in American white society. Because of this bullying, she only longed to be understood. This became the foundation of TRUE Conversations, where Meghan encourages people to look behind the skin color, behavior, and religion to see the value in people, even if you don’t agree. TWEET: There is a lost #art of being able to respectfully #disagree. @trueconversationsllc     Guest Recommendation: ONE action for a dream chaser to take—“Get to know yourself, and know that it could take years. In our society, we don’t value being honest and open with ourselves. There is always something extra to discover about who you are.”   OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:30] Meghan’s upcoming conference in MD: TRUE Conversations Live [3:30] Meghan’s “face plant moment” [8:10] The intention behind TRUE Conversations [10:40] The objectivity of “both sides of the table” [13:53] Meghan’s background of blended cultures [15:33] Positive influences to overcome negative self-image [17:30] “When I grow up” [20:48] Helping people who are scared to take the leap [24:56] The hardest moments and most beautiful gifts [27:56] People who want to be part of your vision [34:54] Meghan’s ONE action for a dream chaser RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Meghan’s Website  Meghan on Instagram   Meghan on Twitter   TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: I was a mindful and attentive friend and wife, focusing on the #lesson to be learned. @trueconversationsllc TWEET: Own who you are and put it into action, even when you’re scared out of your mind. @trueconversationsllc TWEET: Building your #faith in whatever you believe in---that’s what’s most important. @trueconversationsllc      

  We will be talking with Meghan Enriquez today from True Conversations. We’re going to hear how she started a podcast to grow her movement, how she grew the podcast into a network, and how she fosters engagement with her target audience. She also is hosting an event at the end of September 2017, so listen for that later. How Meghan got into podcasting Meghan was not looking to become a podcasters. She started her company, True Conversations, back in January 2016 after shifting career goals and being home with 2 young children. She felt there was a need to change the culture in how we communicate and lead. True Conversations started out being events and training, but one day at a lunch, the broadcaster for the Baltimore minor league team suggested podcasting as a useful platform for her to explore. Although Meghan at the time didn’t know what a podcast was, she soon saw the value of it as a medium for spreading the mission of True Conversations—to promote understanding around stigmatized issues—into the world. Although she didn’t know how to do it, she knew she could learn, and so that’s what she did. It has been the biggest blessing and best decision she made around True Conversations. From one podcast to a whole network In order to cover the breadth of issues and all the life and human experiences that deserve to be talked about, Meghan realized she’d need to open up the podcast network. That way, a variety of people can have it as a platform and a safe space to respectfully bring to the table stories, networks and topics that Meghan personally didn’t have experience with. People were invited to have their own show as long as they were willing to maintain the same sort of vibe of having true conversations that are real, transparent, uplifting and empowering, being respectful of all sides of an issue and promoting the culture of spreading understanding. So much of what overwhelms our social media dialogue right now is arguing, pettiness and taking sides, and that’s part of the reason all the shows on the network are on the same podcasting channel: it means listeners bump into and naturally come across topics, conversations and perspectives that they might have otherwise have avoided due to the personalization in how news is consumed these days. The diversity aspect is really important and what pushed Meghan to create the network. Before the podcast, there were live events True Conversations began by hosting small coffee shop events with a  panel of people from as many sides of an issue as possible and having a true conversation around it.  The first event was about redefining the health journey and featured four people living a health journey and going about it very differently, with different beliefs. The goal was to normalize that whatever you choose is good for you. Other topics have included world peace, faith and body image. True Conversations also has a contributor-fed blog, which was a way to allow people from different walks of life to have their space on the platform before the podcast came about. This year, the vision is for the events to culminate into an annual larger event on a central topic, which will happen with the first annual True Conversations Live Event on September 30th in Baltimore. The topic this year is entrepreneurship, and the event will feature a screening of the She Started It documentary as well as the true conversations panel discussion with local female entrepreneurs. Being that September 30th is International Podcast day, Meghan is inviting local podcasters to come to the event for free, interview people and cover the event. Live interactions and conversations online A few months ago Meghan began to do weekly Facebook lives every Thursday at 7pm Eastern as another way to connect with the community, get to know each other and give them space to share their feelings about some of the current issues that affect our lives privately and professionally. Meghan finds there’s a different exchange that can happen when it is live instead of just having it in comments where the tone of voice can be misconstrued or intentions misunderstood. It’s a meeting point for people of different ethnicities, socio-economic status and career paths asking each other questions, while Meghan just facilitates. For now, it’s on Facebook Live. Meghan said when she first started doing Facebook lives she made all the mistakes, but the lesson for her is that when faced with something new and uncomfortable, see yourself as a student and just do it. One mistake she did make is to randomly just pop on, instead of letting people know ahead of time when she’d be live. That’s why they set up the consistent expectation of the regular Thursday 7 o’clock schedule. She says that picking a consistent schedule is not only healthy for you as a person with a busy life, but it’s more helpful for your audience so they can plug in much more frequently. The Power of the Podcast Meghan’s hope and why she chose podcasting as one of their platforms is because it’s a wonderfully powerful tool to have and promote social change. If you’re in this space, just like with any other media, you can use it for entertainment, and people do need places to escape and zone out for a little while. But Meghan’s advice is to be conscious of how you’re influencing and perpetuating social norms and culture, and use that power responsibly. Even if you’re not talking about deep, heavy topics but are more in the education or entertainment space, use the power for good so that you are spreading a happier, healthier message. If people are listening, you have the opportunity to influence them in a good way.

Meghan Enriquez, founder of True Conversations LLC has an amazing story. She was adopted and came to America from South Korea at 4 months of age. Her adoptive parents in Massachusetts are white and what she experienced as "identity" growing up, resonated so much. I believe all of you will find something in her story that is not only true for many of us, but is very human. Last, her fear for her children growing up at this time in history under this administration I believe you will NOT want to miss. We are all connected.
