Dreams, Disruption, and Doing It Anyway with Annie Meehan
In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of SoundBits, host Kim Groshek chats with author and speaker Annie Meehan about the beauty and complexity of fulfilling long-held dreams. Annie shares the emotional journey of finally moving to her dream home in Fort Myers Beach—only to face the harsh disruption of a hurricane just 11 months later. Together, Kim and Annie reflect on how life rarely goes as planned, the courage it takes to keep dreaming, and the resilience required to pivot when circumstances shift. Whether you’re navigating retirement, relocation, or a personal reinvention, this conversation reminds us that disruption doesn’t mean defeat—it can be a deeper invitation to live life fully.
