41. How to Connect When You Don’t See Eye to Eye with Meagan O’Nan

Confessions of a Spiritual Entrepreneur: Honest Conversations on Authentic Marketing, Aligned Business Growth and the Inner Work Behind It All

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.

• Why hard conversations with people we love often feel the scariest
