Today's Biggest Challenge

Does the nagging question of “what’s next?” keep you stuck in a cycle of fear and hesitation?

If so, you’re not alone.

From our professional careers to our personal life, we constantly face the looming fear of the next unexpected event that will disrupt everything.

And, when we’re stuck in fear, growth becomes impossible. Our lives, careers, businesses, and relationships stagnate.

I'm Meridith Elliott Powell.

I do what I do because I’ve lived through uncertainty, felt its weight, and learned how to turn it into my greatest strength. My journey hasn't been easy—in fact, far from it. I’ve faced challenges that seemed insurmountable, from growing up in a family ravaged by addiction to navigating a career that, at times, left me feeling trapped in someone else’s dream.

The moment I realized the power to change my life was always within ME—it was just waiting for me to shift my mindset, stop blaming the world, and to start focusing on what I could control—everything changed.

This personal journey taught me that uncertainty doesn’t end at 5 p.m. It follows us from the office to our homes, and it permeates every aspect of our lives. But it also taught me that within that uncertainty lies the potential for incredible growth—if we’re willing to embrace it.

So, whether you’re leading a business, advancing your career, or simply trying to make sense of the chaos around you, I’m here to guide you. I’ve walked this path, and I’ve come out the other side stronger, more resilient, and more determined than ever.

And now, I want to help you do the same.
