About Me

I’m Meredith, a 53-year-old woman who’s been divorced for over 8 years and single for the last year after ending a 7-year relationship. Oh, and a little while ago, I left my job to explore what’s next. (Because, why not add all the changes at once, right?) Now, I’m trying to figure out how to embrace being a party of one – while juggling two adult kids, a parent in her golden years, a career search, a 3-year-old fur baby on Zoloft, and whatever this “next chapter” is supposed to look like.

Even after all this time, I haven’t fully conquered the loneliness that comes with being single, and I’ve struggled to truly live life on my own terms. But I’m committed to working on it. This blog is my journey of learning to enjoy my own company, embrace the ups and downs, and discover that being alone doesn’t have to mean being lonely. While I’m still looking for love and connection, I’m also focused on getting comfortable in my own skin. It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s a whole lot more complicated than I thought – but I’m leaning into it, one awkward date, solo dinner, travel adventure, and Netflix binge at a time.

If you’re on the same journey of learning to love your solo life, with the occasional “who’s got my back?” moments, I get it.

Let’s ponder, share, and laugh through it together – because seriously, what else can we do?
