This week's episode reflects on a year of growth, change, and finding a nouveau direction. Host Meredith Waguespack offers a deeply personal update on her business journey and her spiritual life, explaining why the word "Nouveau" applies more than ever as she heads into 2026.

Meredith discusses the challenges and triumphs of launching the podcast (hitting 1,200+ downloads!), the successful Small Business Audit series, and her major personal focus for the next year, including her family, her spiritual journey toward the Catholic Sacrament, and her new role as a visionary for Sweet Baton Rouge®.

She also shares exciting news about her upcoming co-authored book, The Luminescent Bloom, her commitment to playing tennis, and welcoming her new mini Goldendoodle puppy, Magnolia.

Discover my intentional renewal and focusing on authenticity are the keys to finding my "home" in 2026.

I am a mom to three, big maw maw to seven. I've been married for 18+ years, counting the days down to the BIG 20 so we can open up a great bottle of wine.

My husband and I also own a wine bar in our town we live in, called Library Wine & Provisions.

I am the founder of Sweet Baton Rouge®, a local Louisiana business I created from scratch with no marketing plan, just a little grit and lots of geaux! This business will hit 15 years in October and by far has been my most professional career doing what I love, marketing. I have built systems and habits to stay consistent and vision focused on our goals at hand. In 2024 I started a second business, Petey’s Press, to bring all of our production in-house to screen print as our business has always been centered around locally designed & printed t-shirts.
