In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Georgia Meacham. An actress, influencer and known to speak up on her social platforms about being deaf and wearing hearing aids.
Georgia has built a platform aimed to inspire people to chase their dreams, break barriers and reach their potential despite what society tells us. This episode is also sponsored by Hinge, the dating app designed to be deleted! As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the highs, the lessons, and everything in between — and set fresh intentions for the year ahead. Whether you’re setting personal goals or updating your Hinge prompts, this is the season for growth and authenticity. Hinge makes it easy to put your best self forward, with thoughtful prompts that help you showcase who you truly are and connect with people who genuinely align with your vibe. If you’ve been hesitant about dating or just need a fresh perspective, Hinge is the ultimate partner in helping you find meaningful connections. Take some time to reflect on the past year, refresh your Hinge profile & let me know what your new years intentions are in the comments! #ad #HingePartner
