She Was Homeless at 12. Now She's Speaking on TEDx — The Power of Owning Your Voice

This podcast episode of Keys to the Queendom with Tamara Meyer is a powerful life update you don’t want to miss. After a short hiatus, Tamara returns with a deeply personal story about how speaking not only saved her life but also transformed her business, brand, and identity. She shares the journey behind stepping into her speaker identity, the build-up to her sold-out event, and her upcoming TEDx talk in November. Tamara reveals how growing up with trauma, poverty, and constant change led her to discover the transformative power of her voice — and how this skill now empowers her to coach women, fitness professionals, and service-based entrepreneurs to speak with confidence and sell with impact. If you’re feeling stuck, misaligned, or unsure of how to use your voice in your brand or business, this episode is your sign to step into your speaker identity.
