She has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Utah and is currently in a Masters program at SNHU in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a therapist. Meredith has freelanced for many years for popular websites like Scary Mommy, The Huffington Post, Mamalode, Momtastic, Babble, CafeMom and has been published in Parents Magazine. She was also interviewed by The Wall Street Journal because of an article she wrote on friendship. She has been featured many times by The Today.com Parenting team as one of the funniest parents to follow on Facebook. In 2017, Meredith was honored at BlogHer as a Voices of The Year Award Winner for her piece on mental health called, Why I Take The Pill solidifying her place as an advocate for ending the mental health stigma. In February of 2018, Meredith’s debut book, Mom Life: Perfection Pending was published through Absolute Love Publishing and debuted on Amazon as the #1 choice in the motherhood category. Since that time, she has started a second successful parenting website and is the co-owner and editor in chief at Filterfreeparents.com managing over 300 writers and reaching millions of moms every single day. Meredith prides herself in being a relatable mom on social media, making sure to share the good, bad AND the ugly parts of motherhood (and life!) She hopes the only “Influencing” she really succeeds at is to help moms love themselves more and feel more confident in their own role as a mom. In her downtime, she’s usually listening to a true crime podcast which really helps her anxiety, and spending time taking her dog Millie to the park.
