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.
