The Secret to Finding and Keeping Your Inner Fierceness with Meredith Salenger

By the time she was 17, Meredith Salenger had starred in multiple movies—including Disney's  “The Journey of Natty Gann”— and had gotten into Harvard. Life had largely worked out in her favor, and she found more of the same in college. In short, she felt like a badass, and the outside world perceived her as one, too. Once she graduated, though, she found life to be more of a challenge than she expected.

Meredith joins me in this week’s episode of Shared Secrets to talk about how to maintain our inner badass as life changes around us. That means something different for everyone, but in all cases, it involves embracing ourselves for who we are at every stage in our lives. In this episode, Meredith and I will talk about how overcoming life’s hurdles makes us who we are—no matter how painful they are to overcome in the moment.
