Choosing Yourself, Growing Beyond Friendships, and Reigniting The Spark Within with Meredith Otero

We’ve all heard about the importance of ‘choosing yourself’, but what does that actually mean when it comes to real life responsibilities? How do you find space for ‘you’ amongst the chaos, calendar and people in your life?

Meredith Otero has the answer. Today in our Friday’s with Friends guest feature, we are speaking with this fiery New Jersey gal about the moment when she said ‘no’ to stagnancy, and ‘yes’ to change.

The real kicker? She’s just a wild 4 months into this journey- and it has already been life changing for her in so many ways.

Join us as we explore what growing past your identity means, why it’s okay to let certain relationships go, and how you can learn to prioritize yourself in your own life (whether or not you have kids).

Let’s dive in, shall we? 

Here’s A Little About Meredith + Her Journey:

Meredith Otero is a marketing and communications leader, mother of two, and truth-teller with a sharp sense of humor and a deep respect for personal growth that isn’t performative. Her work and writing explore identity, emotional intelligence, leadership, and what it actually looks like to choose yourself while still showing up for real life.

Meredith believes healing doesn’t make you perfect. It makes you honest. She’s passionate about helping women stop shrinking, start regulating themselves, and build lives that feel aligned instead of impressive.
