Unconventional Life with Jules Schroeder

Meg Tuohey is an innovator, psychologist, and relationship expert who has revolutionized marriage repair. Her work centers on helping women reconnect with themselves, understand their inner world, and lead with clarity and wisdom — especially in moments where life, relationships, or identity feel fractured.

Grounded in evidence-based psychology and shaped by decades of clinical experience, Meg's approach blends rigor with compassion. She is known for meeting women where they are, honoring the full complexity of their lives, and helping them move beyond survival into grounded leadership within themselves, their families, and their communities.

Meg's podcast, Wisdom Stripes, has reached over 1.8 million lifetime downloads and ranked Top 15 in Education in the United States, extending her impact through long-form conversations centered on wisdom, relationships, and personal growth.

Meg's work has supported thousands of women and couples across the United States and Canada, particularly those who felt unseen or unsuccessful in traditional therapeutic or self-help environments. Her perspective is neurodivergent-affirming, ethically grounded, and rooted in a deep respect for women's agency and inner authority.

As her leadership continues to evolve, Meg is expanding her work beyond the clinical space into authorship, media, and speaking. In 2026, she will debut her first book, HeartPrint, extending her mission to support women worldwide in reconnecting with themselves and shaping lives rooted in meaning, resilience, and self-trust.

rielle Tayar is a Miami-based serial entrepreneur, creative director, and experience designer who has spent the last decade building businesses at the intersection of brand, story, and human connection. She is the Founder of Whip Creative Studio, a full-scope brand identity and creative agency with a global presence across Miami, New York, Tel Aviv, Barcelona, and Mexico City, and Founder and CEO of Whip Productions, a luxury event design and production company serving clients worldwide since 2016.

Raised in New Jersey by Israeli immigrants, she studied theater and politics at The New School before earning a graduate degree in film in Tel Aviv. A mother of two, Arielle built every business entirely self-funded, no investors, no outside capital, scaling Whip Creative Studio to a global team and growing her companies into seven-figure ventures through sheer creative conviction and relentless execution.
