Just Meee. Real stories that help us understand ourselves, and each other, a little better.
We all have a story.
Some are filled with joy. Others with heartbreak. Most are a mixture of both.
Just Meee is a podcast about the moments that shape us and the people who inspire us. Through honest conversations with extraordinary people living ordinary lives—and ordinary people doing extraordinary things—we explore what helps us keep going, find purpose, and become the best version of ourselves.
Because every story has the power to teach us something.
And perhaps, help us write a better one of our own.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses online grooming, child exploitation, and the loss of a child.
Some conversations stay with you long after they end. This is one of them.
In this deeply moving episode, Lorin LaFave shares the story of her son Breck Bednar, a bright, kind, and talented 14-year-old who was tragically groomed online and murdered in 2014.
Out of unimaginable heartbreak, Lorin has dedicated her life to protecting other families through the work of the Breck Foundation, helping young people, parents, and schools better understand online safety and exploitation.
This is a conversation about grief, courage, connection, and the responsibility we all share to create a safer world for children.
As Lorin reminds us, conversations can save lives.
Thank you, Lorin, for your bravery, honesty, and determination to turn pain into purpose.
