Drawing inspiration from experiences in her life, Meredith creates by magnifying and championing distinct, comedy-forward stories from grounded characters for all audiences. Specifically lifting women in a protected atmosphere of collaboration.

Season two of Small Achievable Goals follows Julie Muldoon (Jennifer Whalen) and Kris Fine (Meredith MacNeill), two very different women navigating friendship and the hormonal hurricane of menopause, while trying to keep their new podcast and their sanity intact. Life as the Podcast Folks have known it is upheaved under the ownership of Amanda King (Tamara Podemski) and the company culture of Queen of Kings. What started as a dream job for Kris and Julie quickly becomes a nightmare as they struggle to make an honest, raw and real show about menopause while attempting

to navigate the change themselves.
