This week on the pod, we're chatting with Dr. Meghan Hughes and Danielle O'Hanley, two members of The High Park Rogue Runners Executive Team. Both Meghan and Danielle found themselves at the High Park Running Room for different reasons, but ultimately they would meet Colin Murray-Lawson, a coach at that location. When Meghan qualified for the Boston Marathon, she wanted to find a group of runners who could train with her, so Colin and Meghan created the High Park Rogue Runners. Today, the High Park Rogue Runners have over 60 runners on custom plans and countless others who drop-in on a weekly basis (pre-pandemic, of course!). Their unique approach to training is the secret to their success. In lieu of coaching fees, the executive team asks their runners to support the community through volunteerism, gifts in kind, gear donations, and monetary donations. It's a concept they coined the “energy exchange” and the outcome is an inclusive space where runners exhibit the values and standards modelled by the executive team.

When Meghan and Harry married in Windsor in 2018, few could have anticipated the path their lives have taken. Whatever those changes, mental health remains a key mission for the Sussexes - and for William and Kate.Pod Save the Queen host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to discuss the latest royal news, while Mirror columnist Darren Lewis gives his perspective on an extraordinary three years for the Sussexes.From the joyful baby news shared by Princess Beatrice and husband Edo to plans for the Queen’s jubilee, Charles and Camilla’s Northern Ireland visit, trouble for Prince Michael, the Cambridges’ latest outings, Harry’s podcast appearance and upcoming Apple + TV series - plus memories of that day at St George’s Chapel - there is plenty to talk about.
Intro: Minutes 0 to 5:30 I saw Sound of Metal on Chandra’s recommendation and she saw The Trial of the Chicago 7. We would be glad if Riz Ahmed won best actor at the Oscars, but think Chadwick Boseman will win that unless he’s nominated in the supporting category. Royals: Minutes 5:30 to Minute 42 Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah was so much more revealing than we expected and they went through so much more than we could have imagined. When Meghan was pregnant the royal family said they would not give Archie a title and that they were going to pull their security detail. They also never lifted a finger to tell the press to stop smearing Meghan. At the same time they were controlling her by telling her how much she could go out and they also took away her passport, driver’s license and keys. Every time she traveled Kensington Palace would leak the details. Meghan revealed that in 2019 when she was pregnant with Archie she was suicidal and reached out to senior palace officials to help. They told her she couldn’t get help because she wasn’t a paid employee. Meghan did not reveal whom she spoke to. Chandra got the impression it was a senior royal. Other people thought it was senior staff like The Queen’s secretary. There was an obvious smear campaign against Meghan by the press and the palace. I play a segment from Zoom where Karen, Courtney and Susan talk about this. Minute 11:00: Everything changed for Harry and Meghan after they went on that South Pacific tour and she was met with crowds and adoration. Meghan’s pregnancy and the success of the tour made the palace work harder to smear her. Harry and Meghan dropped a blind item that someone in his family had concerns about how dark Archie’s skin would be. Harry said that conversation “was right at the beginning… ‘What will the kids look like?’” Chandra thinks that the royal who said that was William, because we heard that they had a falling out over Meghan in 2016. Minute 16:00: We also got clarification on one ongoing years-long story smearing Meghan, which the press was repeating as of last week, that she allegedly made Kate cry at a bridesmaid’s fitting. Kate is the one who made Meghan cry, and it was so bad that Kate sent Meghan flowers to apologize. The story got reversed and used to smear Meghan. Chandra says Kate is happy to play the fragile white woman. I play a segment from Zoom where Karen, Mikeala, Tanisha, Ameerah, Sara and Jasmine talk about this. Chandra mentions that they’re still trying to twist this to make Kate the victim of Meghan. I read a segment from a Daily Mail article with Richard Kay in which they claim that Meghan is obsessed with Kate. We say that we think Meghan has receipts and sent email about it and that was before we heard that she did do that! Minute 24:15: I mention the line from the article that people are pointing out is racist. “[Kate] is resilient; Middleton family blood has seen to that.” I remember that terribly racist article claiming “the Windsors will thicken their watery, thin blue blood and Spencer pale skin and ginger hair with some rich and exotic DNA.” Chandra says this type of blood line thinking is common in India due to the caste system. Minute 26:00: Camila Tominey wrote the original story about Meghan making Kate cry. In a recent interview, she defended her sources. Minute 27:30: We finally got a statement from the royal family on Tuesday afternoon our time, which was the evening in England. During the day we heard that The Queen had “refused to sign off” on a statement Monday night to de-escalate tension with The Sussexes. The statement included the line “While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.” Last week they made such a big deal about investigating Meghan’s alleged bullying, but they say they’re going to privately address systemic racism. Minute 30:00: Katie Nicholl had a piece in Vanity Fair with Charles’ reaction to the interview and it’s so bad! I mention that Chandra predicted Piers Morgan’s response to Meghan, which was to criticize her for breathing basically. He left his job at ITV, he likely got fired, after over 41,000 people complained about him dismissing mental health on his show and Meghan was one of them. This was after he was called out by multiple guests for his years of hating on Meghan and after he walked off set when he was mildly questioned about it by weatherperson Alex Beresford. Minute 34:45: Meghan’s friend, Janina Gavankar, confirmed that Meghan has the receipts, which Meghan heavily implied in the interview as well. I play a segment from Zoom where Tanisha, Ameerah, Mickeala and Sara talk about the receipts. Minute 38:45: Prince Charles visited a vaccine site at a predominantly Black church in London. The optics of Black people bowing to Prince Charles were so bad. On Thursday morning, Kate and William visited a school. Unlike Charles in his photo op, William deigned to answer a question from a journalist afterwards. He said “we’re very much not a racist family.” Comments of the week: Minute 42:00 My comments of the week is from Alexandria on the post about the Queen not signing the statement supporting the Sussexes. Chandra’s comment of the week is from Rapunzel on the post about Meghan filing a complaint against Piers Morgan. Thanks for listening bitches!

Meghan is the Master Instructor and Marketing Manager at Reve Cycling Studi in Portland Maine. Meghan is originally from Vermont, but moved to Maine to attend college. During her time at the University of Southern Maine, Meghan was looking for her community. This is where Reve came into the picture. When Meghan began riding at Reve she began to find that sense of belonging that she had been missing. She quickly did what she needed to become an instructor and began teaching at Reve! From this point on Meghan’s dreams began to grow as post do, post-grad. She dreamed of being a cycling instructor for Soul Cycle (the King of all Cycling studios).On this episode, Meghan shares with us what it was like to chase her dream and be brave and then what it is like to realize you are happier at home. We loved hearing this perspective because we know there are so many men and women that experience this, but never share what it is like. Meghan talks about how it is okay to do the thing you are scared of that makes you reach for your dreams and encourages you to try it for yourself, but once you have done it, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to KEEP doing it. If your heart is pulling you somewhere else it is okay to go.
On episode 12 of the Hearing Matters Podcast, Dr. Gregory Delfino, CCC-A and Blaise Delfino, M.S. - HIS interview Meghan Okken, an undergraduate student from Bloomsburg University studying Communication Sciences and Disorders (most commonly known as speech-language pathology). In this episode you will: Meet Meghan and learn about her summer internship experience at Audiology Services Learn about Meghan's role as social media coordinator for Audiology Services, Hearing Matters, and Fader PlugsLearn about Meghan's professional goals as she continues to pursue a career in the communication sciences and disorders field Learn about Meghan's goals with regard to the Hearing Matters Podcast social media growth strategy Audiology Services Summer Internship In January 2020, Audiology Services received an inquiry from Meghan Okken, an undergraduate student from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania studying communication sciences and disorders, most commonly known as speech-language pathology. Meghan was in need of audiology observation hours for her clinical observations course. Observation hours allow students to observe professionals in the communication sciences and disorders field, which assists in their clinical setting decision making process. When Meghan visited our office for the day, we were impressed with her professionalism and how she interacted with our patients. Following Meghan's visit to our office in January, we held a team meeting to discuss offering Meghan a full-time summer internship position. When we held the summer internship interview in early March, Meghan accepted the position with enthusiasm. The Importance of the Summer InternshipA few years ago, I (Blaise) was an undergraduate student studying speech-language pathology at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. It was a requirement to obtain clinical observation hours before graduation. My classmates and I needed 25 speech hours and 5 audiology hours. I was grateful for the supervisors who donated their time and allowed me and my fellow classmates to schedule observation hours in various clinical settings. Encompassing an understanding of the observation process, I personally wanted to open an internship position for an undergraduate student studying communication sciences and disorders. In addition, I've personally had mentors throughout and following my undergraduate and graduate studies. That being said, paying it forward was important to me. The purpose behind the summer internship position was to provide the opportunity for a student to observe first-hand, the processes and procedures in the private practice setting. These processes and procedures include but are not limited to: Scheduling patients Rescheduling patients Greeting patients Otoscopy Tympanometry Comprehensive audiological evaluations Hearing aid clean and checks Real ear measurement Scheduling/hosting effective team meetings Meghan Joins Team Audiology ServicesAs Meghan's summer internship came to a conclusion, we held a team meeting to discuss Meghan joining our team as our social media coordinator. During Meghan's internship, she managed the Hearing Matters Podcast Instagram and Facebook platforms. And, if we may add, does an incredible job managing all social platforms! Audiology Services would like to congratulate Meghan on a job well done this summer! Good luck this year as you enter your junior year at Bloomsburg University!
Dr. Meghan Birt is a chiropractor, educator, and healthy living encourager. She's also a wife and mom to two sweet girls. Dr. Meghan’s love of natural health started many years before getting her chiropractic degree. Healthy food and nutrition was the catalyst into becoming a chiropractor and she was able to achieve healing in her own body through natural means. Dr. Meghan wants to inspire a love of natural health in women and believes every individual has the opportunity to live their healthiest life possible. She's also on a mission to simplify healthy living for busy women so they can begin to just enjoy food, just enjoy health, and just enjoy life. You can find Dr. Meghan at www.meghanbirt.com and on the Just Enjoy Health Podcast. Meghan began to explore healthy living, along with her mom, at the age of 17. She started reading books and educating herself but quickly noticed that there was an abundance of information, some that was contradicatictory. Through furthering her education with chiropractic school, Megan realized that our bodies are bio-individual and different things will work better for some than others. Of course, there are some universal ideas that are true for everyone (ie. inflammatory foods should be avoided, a diet lower in sugar) but the journey to health is a personal one. Meghan’s goal is to take our complex health and simplify it so that it's not overwhelming and you take no action at all. When Meghan was 18, she went on a mission trip to Mexico and contracted a parasite. Almost immediately, she began feeling bloated and exhausted. Meghan didn’t know that she was ill and struggled through the pain and exhaustion from living with the parasite while completing chiropractic school. At the end of chiropractic school, Meghan met a doctor who performed muscle testing, detox, functional medicine and discovered she had a parasite and that was the reason her body was not functioning well. This discovery took Meghan’s love for nutrition and clean living to the next level. In this episode, we will discuss the importance of starting with the basics and making changes in your everyday life. Meghan shares her daily upgrades/non-negotiables to feel her best (nutrition, sleep, reasonable schedule). Meghan understands that making impactful changes in your life can be overwhelming. She gives the following advice “Start with something small and realize it’s worth taking the extra time versus staying where you’re at because there is a light at the end of the tunnel and you can feel better. Our bodies were designed and created to heal."

When Meghan mentioned #metoo at her first appearance with The Royal Foundation, she created quite a stir. The question on everyone's mind: Can a (future) duchess be political? Sean and Craig weigh in on how royals of the past from Victoria to Elizabeth II to Diana and now Meghan have exerted influence without overstepping their role. Eleanor Bennett joins the debate as Spoke's resident #metoo expert. Special thanks to Isabelle Mattinson for narration and to Jason Elrod for his whistling kettle. *Correction: Queen Elizabeth famously danced with the President of Ghana, not Nigeria, which is depicted in Season 2 of The Crown. Sean has been sent to The Tower of London to await his punishment for this error.

As a 12-year-old this weight loss drastically changed her life. “I was able to run and dance with my friends.” When Meghan was in her 20’s, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
