Readers, Meghan Rienks here is proof that podcasters are as hot as Instagrammers. Instagram models are hot, we know, but podcasters will show you another kind of beauty. You’d know right away if one is smart. The eloquence, the articulation… We love Instagram and TikTok and Facebook or whatever but it doesn’t really show that much intellectual side. I know, I know. Who cares, right? We are all here for the looks. So yeah, my bad. Still, Meghan Rienks here possesses all the beauty that is worthy of your admiration. Oh, wait, and she is also a big Instagrammer.
Who is Meghan Rienks
Meghan Rienks is an American actress, podcaster, vlogger, and all-around digital dynamo who’s been entertaining the internet since 2010. She first turned to YouTube out of boredom after being stuck at home with mononucleosis—and what started as a single video quickly snowballed into a full-blown lifestyle empire.
Since then, Meghan’s shared everything from beauty tips and fashion hauls to mental health chats and relationship advice, all with her signature honesty and humour. She’s starred in Hulu’s Freakish, co-written and produced a film, and even penned a book titled You’re Not Special: A (Sort-of) Memoir. Her Instagram fame landed her in Teen Vogue’s Top 6 Instagram A-Listers and earned her Allure’s Instagram Influencer of the Year title—proof that sometimes, a little boredom can lead to something pretty extraordinary.
Her Early Life
Meghan Rienks was born on August 4, 1993, in San Francisco, California, and grew up as an only child with a big imagination and even bigger dreams. Her social media journey started in the most unexpected way—thanks to a bad case of mononucleosis right before her senior year of high school. Stuck at home and bored out of her mind, she grabbed a camera, made a YouTube video, and, well… accidentally launched a career.
She did give college a shot, but it turned out to be more “ugh” than “aha.” Meghan has openly admitted she hated it—though she still thinks everyone should try it once. After realizing lectures weren’t her calling and acting was, she decided to lean fully into her passion for creating content. And honestly? It worked out pretty well for her.
Career Journey
Meghan Rienks probably never imagined that the YouTube channel she started to cure boredom would turn into a full-blown phenomenon. Sharing a mix of comedy, beauty, fashion, and relationship advice, Meghan chronicled the highs and lows of her teenage years for the world to see — and people loved it. Her videos weren’t just tutorials; they were a window into her life, complete with all the awkward, hilarious, and heartfelt moments that made her relatable.
Her growing popularity on YouTube soon spilled over to other social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Snapchat, helping Meghan build a lifestyle content empire. Recognition quickly followed: she was featured in Teen Vogue’s Top 6 Instagram A-Listers and named Allure’s Instagram Influencer of the Year, cementing her status as a social media powerhouse.
Riding this wave of success, Meghan turned her experiences into a book, You’re Not Special: A (Sort-Of) Memoir, where she dives into everything from mononucleosis and hating college to mental health, friendships, social media, and navigating life in the spotlight.
In March 2017, Meghan launched her weekly advice podcast, Don’t Blame Me! with Meghan Rienks, offering blunt, hilarious, and honest takes on relationships, mental health, and sex — with her signature humor shining through every episode.
Even social media stars face setbacks, though. In early 2020, Meghan’s secondary YouTube channel, moremeghann, was hacked, and initially, YouTube offered little help. Frustrated, she took to Twitter, where fellow creators and supermodel Gigi Hadid voiced their support. Eventually, YouTube sorted things out over the phone, but Meghan had to start from scratch, losing all the content she had uploaded. As of June 2020, the channel remained empty — a reminder that even internet fame comes with its bumps.
Her Acting Career
Meghan Rienks has had her eye on acting since she was a kid — she wasn’t just playing pretend, she was rehearsing. After getting formal training, she kicked off her on-screen career with the 2013 web series Side Effects, and kept the momentum going with roles in Shipping Julia (2014), Flhaunt (2015), The Honest Show (2015), Freakish (2016–2017), and Mr. Student Body President (2016). She made her feature film debut in 2018 as Piper Morley in The Honor List.
All the while, Meghan kept flexing her comedic chops on social media — popping up in sketches on AwesomenessTV’s channel, including the teen-centered talk series IMO (In My Opinion). Whether she’s acting on screen or making the internet laugh, one thing’s for sure: she’s been busy building her dream from every angle.
