Red Thread: The Fire Within
You are not behind. You are becoming.
Red Thread: The Fire Within is a podcast for women navigating reinvention — quietly, courageously, and on their own timelines. Hosted by Katheryn (Meek) Dunn, a tech leader, mother of four, and woman rebuilding her life after a career-defining plot twist, this show explores what it means to rediscover yourself in the in-between seasons.
Each episode blends personal storytelling, introspection, and bold motivation to help you reconnect with the thread that ties together who you were, who you are, and who you’re becoming.
Here, we talk about:
- Reinvention in real time
- Quiet confidence and soft power
- Grief, identity, courage, and self-trust
- Letting go without falling apart
- Leadership, purpose, and meaningful impact
- Becoming the woman your younger self needed
This is not a show about perfection.
It’s a show about returning to yourself.
If you’re ready to stop comparing your timeline to everyone else’s, if you're craving clarity, connection, and the courage to step into your next chapter — you're in the right place.
Pull the thread.
Your fire is waiting.

When The Plan Falls Apart

What happens when the life you planned… suddenly isn’t your life anymore?
In this honest and grounding episode, Katheryn shares what it really feels like when the plan you’ve worked so hard to build begins to unravel, not all at once, but thread by thread. From the unexpected layoff that ended her 20-year career in Oil & Gas and IT to the loss of identity, control, and certainty, she explores the quiet collapse that forces you to reevaluate everything.
This episode dives into:
- The subtle signs your plan is no longer aligned
- What it’s like to lose the structure you relied on
- The fear and freedom that come with the unknown
- Why our attachment to “the plan” runs so deep
- How clarity begins only after the dust settles
If you’re standing in the in-between, grieving what ended while trying to trust what’s next, this episode reminds you:
You’re not lost.
You’re being redirected.
