Unstoppable Women welcomes Dr. Meghan Waldron!
In this episode, I speak with Meg Waldron, Senior Academic Advisor, Adjunct Professor and Founder of Smart Solutions Tutoring. Based in Virginia, Meg has spent over twenty years helping students find their voice and confidence through education and writing - all while navigating her own pivots as a mother, entrepreneur and leader living with multiple sclerosis.
This conversation is part of the Unstoppable Women series - a collection of real, unfiltered stories celebrating women who have navigated transformation with clarity, courage and heart. These are the women I love talking to: women who have faced turning points in life or work and chosen to rebuild with intention.
Originally created to spotlight finalists from the Women in Change Awards, the series is now expanding. I’m opening up the conversation to women everywhere who are leading change in their own way - educators, founders, artists, innovators and everyday leaders who’ve found a way to turn disruption into direction.
Meg’s story embodies what it means to be Unstoppable by Design - curious, adaptable and quietly courageous. She reminds us that integrity isn’t about doing it all; it’s about doing what aligns.

Dr. Meghan Waldron | Helping Your Student Succeed
As a doctoral student at Virginia Commonwealth University, I had the privilege to work on several research briefs with the Metropolitan Research Consortium (MERC).
'Established in 1991 as a partnership between Richmond-area school divisions and Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Education, the Metropolitan Educational Research Consortium leads research that addresses enduring and emerging issues in PK12 education with the goal of informing policy, building the professional knowledge and skills of key stakeholders, contributing to the body of scholarly knowledge, and ultimately impacting outcomes relevant to students, schools, and communities."
