Summary
Meredith Shaw has a vast career from country music, model, inclusivity style-expert, radio show host and even cook show host! Her story, while ever-evolving, has also brought so many lessons and life tools along with it, which we’re so glad she could share some with us today. Meredith is a shining light, and her career is truly one to watch and be inspired by in all its “scrappy” ways from the get-go, like seeing a lack of representation in inclusive styling...and then doing it herself...on TV! Makes you wonder when you see yourself missing from a space, how can you show up in it? And maybe, with a story like Meredith’s, believe that you can. Because what do we always say? “I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m doing it anyway”

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:05.5 | Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm your hostess, Trin Hermostis, Sarah Nicole. |
| 0:13.1 | And each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom or something like that. |
| 0:20.5 | So get ready to get inspired, get candid, |
| 0:23.5 | get real, because we are all in this digital space together. All right, everybody, welcome |
| 0:33.4 | back. Today we have a little bit of a Canadian icon, but if you do not know her, you're |
| 0:37.9 | about to get to know her a lot better. Meredith Shaw is on the show. And Meredith, you are like, the Jack of all trades, the Jill of all trades. You were of all the trades when I was like going through prep notes for this because obviously I'm a Canadian. So I'm like, yeah, she's from TV. Oh, and she's also from radio. |
| 0:34.8 | Oh, and she's also doing a cooking show. |
| 0:36.8 | Oh, and then I, like, look at your bio and I'm like, |
| 0:39.0 | hold on, you were a country star? I'm like, yeah, she's from TV. Oh, and she's also from radio. Oh, and she's also doing a cooking |
| 0:54.4 | show. Oh, and then I, like, look at your bio and I'm like, hold on, you were a country star as well. |
| 0:59.1 | I just went down. Star is generous in terms of country. I'd say I attempted to be in country music |
| 1:07.7 | and, you know, tail between my legs walked away into a different career. But we can get into that. I appreciate it. You've walked into so many different careers. I don't think you're allowed to have your tail to your legs. You've done so, so much. You know, when I think of people who are truly inspirational when it comes into the body confidence space. You're somebody who's been doing it |
| 1:28.0 | before I ever knew I needed it. You were somebody who I got to see on TV, who I got to watch on |
| 1:33.3 | social media, who really brought it forward in terms of having body confidence at a different |
| 1:39.1 | size from what we see in mainstream media. And what I find so amazing about you, I just have to say it right |
| 1:45.4 | from the beginning as you're standing there in your pink jilly romper, which I have the same one, |
| 1:49.9 | we could all match. When I was really struggling with a lot of my body confidence, I shied away |
| 1:55.9 | from color and I still do that. I still tend to lean into blacks and dark colors. And when I look at your feed and when |
| 2:02.4 | I see you show up online is you actually show us so often to dress in color, to show up colorfully, |
| 2:09.9 | so colorfully all the time. But tell us a little bit about yourself. Give yourself the kind of elevator |
