Hi, I’m Meaghan, the person behind Mending Meredith. By day, I work in aerospace manufacturing, but outside of work I’m usually reading, overthinking something, testing a new beauty product, watching reality TV, or hanging out with my two cats, Teeny and Luca. I’ve always had a lot of interests and never felt particularly interested in fitting myself neatly into one niche, which is part of why this little corner of the internet exists.

I started Mending Meredith as a place to talk honestly about what it looks like to build a life while you’re still figuring yourself out. Here, I write about the things that make up my life: mental health and personal growth, career and navigating the working world, beauty and skincare, and all the messy everyday stuff in between. I’m not writing from the other side with everything figured out. I’m writing while I’m in it; learning what works, changing my mind, getting things wrong, and trying again.

My goal is for Mending Meredith to feel like the kind of place you come across and think, “Okay, someone else gets it”. I want to share things that are useful without pretending there’s one right way to live your life, and create a space where we can be ambitious and uncertain, put-together and struggling, serious and a little superficial, all at the same time. Consider this a collection of notes from one work in progress to another.
