In this heartfelt episode of The Hang!, host Scott Saldinger sits down with Nashville-based singer/songwriter Meghan Pulles—a true siren of emotional authenticity. Known for transforming pain into poetry and memory into melody, Meghan’s music invites listeners to feel deeply, heal honestly, and connect with the parts of themselves they’ve long silenced. From her early days in opera training to her evolution as an indie artist with a healing mission, Meghan’s story is one of courage, self-discovery, and unfiltered truth. She opens up about growing up with music in her blood, being raised by a father who played guitar and sang opera, and how the stage became her sanctuary from an early age. Influenced by artists like Joni Mitchell, Karen Carpenter, Regina Spektor, and Ingrid Michaelson, Meghan learned that vulnerability could be powerful—and that authenticity could be revolutionary. Her debut album Ear Baby introduced listeners to her ethereal yet grounded sound, but her upcoming project, Portraits of a Heavy Heart, represents a deeper metamorphosis. “This one is not afraid to look you in the face,” Meghan says. “This is the pain. This is the suffering. This is Meghan Pulles.” The conversation dives into her creative rebirth—how she cut out toxicity, embraced her truth, and began writing with fearless honesty. Scott and Meghan explore the balance between artistry and industry in the age of constant content creation. She speaks candidly about the pressure of being both musician and marketer, and how maintaining integrity amidst social media noise remains one of her greatest challenges. Yet through it all, her mission remains unwavering: to create a cathartic space for healing through sound. Meghan also discusses her work with Produced by a Girl, the mentorship that helped her overcome self-doubt, and the moment her producer pushed her to embrace her operatic voice—transforming her sound forever. The episode touches on her struggles with confidence, her belief that “finding confidence is a slow burn,” and how “what I say could help someone” became her guiding mantra. As she prepares to release two new albums and plan upcoming shows in Nashville and New York, Meghan shares her personal self-care routines, her battle with “comparisonitis,” and the grounding practices that keep her inspired. With a spirit both gentle and fierce, she reminds artists everywhere that healing is not linear—and that embracing your light can change lives.
