It's What You Do Next: The Fall and Rise of Nashville's First Female Mayor - https://a.co/d/38aGyyH

Megan Barry made history as the first female mayor of Nashville.

She was a rising political star—respected, ambitious, and widely beloved for her leadership style and dedication to public service.

But in 2018, her life took a sharp and very public turn. A romantic relationship with her bodyguard led to a media firestorm, an investigation, and a resignation that made headlines across the country. What the headlines didn’t show was what came before: the devastating loss of her only son, Max, just months earlier.

In this powerful and unflinching conversation, Megan opens up about love, loss, scandal, and survival. What does it take to come back from public shame? What happens when you’re grieving privately while being judged publicly? And how do you rebuild when the world only knows you by your worst moment? 

Her story is one of extraordinary resilience—and a reminder that no one should be defined by their worst day.

If you’ve ever faced judgment, grief, or the pressure to be perfect—this episode is for you.
