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.

It Takes a Village: When Life Interrupts the Plan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week’s episode wasn’t planned — and that’s the point.
After my nephew Henry became critically ill and was hospitalized, everything else paused. What started as a routine virus escalated rapidly into a life-threatening infection that required emergency surgery, aggressive treatment, and constant vigilance. In the middle of that, I found myself living the very lessons this podcast is about: not through productivity or progress, but through presence, loyalty, and strength in unexpected forms.
In this episode, I share:
- What it means to lean into your strengths during crisis
- Why purpose sometimes shows up as steadiness, not success
- The power of intuition, advocacy, and speaking up
- How asking for help is not weakness, but resilience
- What a true support system looks like when the village shows up, every damn day
This is a story about love, community, reinvention, and remembering what matters when life interrupts the plan.
