Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Meeka Brown. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Meeka, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?

Honestly, the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me is… let me down. I know that sounds strange, but hear me out! Whenever someone hasn’t followed through or just left me hanging, those moments have actually been some of the best gifts. Why? Because they pushed me to learn how to depend on myself.

It all started when I was a kid. I vividly remember my aunt offering to braid my hair. She’d start with all the good intentions in the world but, for some reason, she never seemed to finish! I’d walk around with half-braided hair for what felt like forever. Can you imagine the looks I’d get? 😅 So one day, when I was 15, I had enough. I grabbed a comb, stared into the mirror, and thought, “You know what? I’m going to figure this out.” And by the end of the night, there I was, fully braided, all on my own! 💪🏽 From that day on, I’ve done my own hair, and it’s exactly how I want it every single time.

But it didn’t stop with my hair. That little moment became the pattern for so many things in my life. From handling personal challenges to tackling big projects, every time someone didn’t show up or dropped the ball, I realized I could. Whether it was learning a new skill, solving a tricky problem, or finding a creative solution, I kept surprising myself with just how capable I was.

Now, I genuinely look back and appreciate those moments where people didn’t come through. Sure, they were frustrating in the moment, but those experiences gave me something much more valuable: the confidence to know that I can always figure things out, no matter what. And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite as empowering as realizing you’re your own greatest resource!

So, in a funny twist of fate, the kindest thing anyone’s done for me is showing me how much I don’t need to rely on them. I can rely on me. And that’s been a game-changer! 😊

Meeka, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

For folks who may not know me yet, I am Meeka, The Travelin’ Tarot…and I wear a lot of hats, but they all connect back to one thing: empowerment. Whether it’s through my “I Came to Win” course and workshop, my The Travelin’ Tarot readings/YouTube Channel, or my intuitive coaching sessions, my mission is to help people tap into their inner power and transform their lives.

I got into this world of spirituality and empowerment because, like many people, I had my share of struggles—times when I didn’t feel like the star of my own story. From working through personal challenges to building my confidence as a singer/songwriter, I learned that the key to thriving is in reclaiming your power and rewriting the narrative. That’s what my new song & course”I Came to Win” is all about—helping women, especially those who feel stuck or unsure, to step into their spotlight, own their power, and create the life they truly want.

Through my Travelin’ Tarot readings, I provide intuitive guidance to people wherever they are—whether they need clarity, healing, or just a nudge in the right direction. In my intuitive coaching sessions, I work one-on-one to help clients break through limiting beliefs and create actionable steps toward their goals.

As for what sets me apart, I think it’s my mix of intuitive spiritual work and creative expression. I’m a singer/songwriter, and music is a huge part of how I connect with people. Through my songs, I share stories of transformation, healing, and empowerment—because that’s what I live and breathe.

What I’m most proud of is seeing the changes in my clients and fans when they realize just how powerful they are. I’ve seen women walk into my “I Came to Win” workshop uncertain of themselves and walk out ready to take on the world. That’s what I want people to know: my work, whether it’s through music, tarot, or coaching, is about helping you realize that you can win. You are the star of your own life. And I’m here to help you see that.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Several years ago, I went through the darkest, most stressful time of my life. Not only was I suffering from intense heartache from separating from someone who still means the world to me, but I was also living in a homeless shelter with my son and my dog. My life up to that point had been pretty rough, but this period was truly my dark night of the soul.

I wanted answers so I started to watch YouTube videos of other Tarot readers. I was truly amazed at the accuracy of what I was hearing! So I bought my first deck and studied books intensely. Even though I was still homeless, I was finding hope and to some degree healing by feeling like I was communicating directly with my Guides.

At the time I was working a temporary job delivering Teslas, all the while studying and trying to understand how I could use this information to change my life. As I continued to learn and connect to Spirit, I was able to ground myself in this new understanding even with having to go home to the homeless shelter every night. I was able to find some peace, balance, and a small bit of hope.

I was guided to start my own YouTube channel a few months later. Even though I was homeless, I was determined! So I named my channel ‘The Travelin’ Tarot, because I didn’t have a home to film the videos, so I started filming in various places outside. I purchased a beach tent and used my phone to record the videos. Even though my life truly sucked at the time, it was healing me to help others! I realized that using my experiences to help others is my true Divine purpose. The more I embraced it, the better I was feeling!

Even though I was healing, it was towards the end of this time, that I learned my biggest lesson about the power of surrender. This shelter was supposed to be helping us find permanent housing, and it still felt like I was hitting every wall possible. People weren’t responding to us, my “worker” was not helping us in any way, and my son was growing increasingly depressed by our situation. I really felt powerless.

So every morning, I would go out to the parking lot and play my guitar & sing at the top of my lungs. It must’ve also helped the other people living in the shelter too because, by the time we moved, I was developing quite a little crowd on those mornings!

Within a month or so, my son got a job offer from a studio in Carlsbad. We both had been acting for this studio for years when they were in Los Angeles, and they were moving back to Carlsbad and needed an Assistant Director. They moved us to a beautiful place in Vista, and gave him an amazing job, and covered the costs!

In hindsight, I can see how all of the “walls” I was hitting were me being redirected to my purpose. It was the act of surrendering that had allowed us to be moved to where we were supposed to be! Even when I was a child, coming to Sea World with my grandparents, I would always say “I’m gonna move here when I’m rich!” LOL! I brought that up because it further proves my point that I am exactly where I need to be.

Fast forward to almost 2 years later and I have grown my Spiritual channel & business, in a little under a year from 5500 subscribers to almost 17,000 today! I am releasing 2 new songs that are the anthems for my women’s empowerment course & workshop “I Came To Win!”. I am now an Intuitive Coach & Spiritual Guide full-time, and I am confidently able to navigate the things that come my way. Once I committed to my true purpose, life began to flow with ease.

While it has become smoother now, it was not a smooth road at all. My new perspective helps me understand that my only true obstacles are coming from me.

Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

Honestly, no regrets! My journey has unfolded exactly as it was meant to. But if I could have had one thing sooner, it would have been a deeper understanding of energy and my connection to spirit. That awareness has been a total game-changer, not just for my work as The Travelin’ Tarot and intuitive coaching, but also in my personal creative journey as a singer/songwriter.

Understanding how energy flows—and how we can tap into it—has elevated everything I do. Whether I’m leading my “I Came to Win” workshop, writing a song, or guiding someone with a tarot reading, it all comes down to connecting with that inner force that we all have. It’s like turning up the volume on life and creativity!

But, as much as it might’ve been helpful to know earlier, I firmly believe we’re always right where we’re supposed to be. Each step—whether smooth or rocky—has brought me closer to understanding myself and my purpose. So, in the end, it’s all part of the journey!
