In this thought-provoking episode of Dropped In with Meghan Weir, we sit down with TED NEIL—author, global health expert turned full-time writer—to explore the intersection of personal growth, storytelling, and social change.

Ted opens up about his journey from international health work to becoming the acclaimed author behind:

A powerful children’s book series featuring protagonists with disabilities

A transformative four-part book series exploring internalized bias through 12-step recovery principles

His groundbreaking book, My Name is Ted, and I’m a Racist, which unpacks racial bias with radical self-honesty and spiritual tools

This conversation dives deep into:

• Embracing vulnerability as a tool for healing and leadership
• Unlearning internal bias and applying 12-step spirituality to social justice
• The role of self-compassion in sustainable personal development
• How to refill your creative well without burnout
