As I gear up to re-enter the dating scene after six months, here are 7 things I will be doing differently. 

6 things I am leaving behind. Happy new year!

Meredith reflects on the life lessons she's bringing into the new year as 2025 comes to a close. 

Meredith reflects on the past year and all the lessons learned. 

Meredith recounts a healing moment of closure with an ex after years of rumination. 

In this episode, Meredith dives into a vintage 90s dating book, Getting to I Do, gifted by her aunt—only to realize quickly that she definitely does not agree with most of it. What starts as a fun, nostalgic read about “masculine vs. feminine energy” turns into a deeper conversation about outdated gender roles, internalized misogyny, and why so much dating advice (old and new) remains shockingly similar.

Meredith breaks down:

✨ The book’s entire premise: using “feminine energy” to strategically secure a husband

✨ Why dating trends swing like a cultural pendulum—from purity culture to hookup culture and back

✨ How the same manipulative dating advice from the 90s is resurfacing today through TikTok creators

✨ The “four people in every relationship” energy model

✨ The 90-day rule, its origins, and why it still shows up in modern dating conversations

✨ Why so much of the book blames women, polices behavior, and teaches them to contort their personality for men

✨ The problematic idea of “keeping” a man

✨ Why the right person won’t require strategy, games, manipulation, or 90-day timelines

✨ A wild story example the authors use—and why Meredith completely rejects its message

✨ The truth about red flags, timing, chemistry, and not “fighting to keep” someone who already walked away

Throughout the episode, Meredith explores the tension between classic relationship advice and modern, empowered dating. She also questions why women are still being told to shape-shift, shrink, and strategize to get a man—rather than focusing on compatibility, timing, and authenticity.

This one is funny, thoughtful, slightly unhinged in moments, and full of hot takes.

💬 Join the conversation: Do you think masculine/feminine energy dating frameworks are outdated—or still relevant today?

In this episode, Meredith takes a deep dive into one of the most viral conversations online — decentering men and dating. She challenges the trendy self-help mantra that women can completely remove men and romance from their lives, especially if they still desire connection, partnership, or intimacy in the future.

Through honest self-reflection, Meredith opens up about her own experience living alone, being single, and realizing that celibacy and independence don’t necessarily mean she’s truly “decentered” men. She discusses how society’s messaging — from “Sex and the City” to TikTok creators — shapes how women view independence, loneliness, and desire, and why it’s okay to still want love while working on yourself.

Expect a raw, relatable take on:

In this episode of Mer On Air, I dive deep into the phrase “dating to marry”—why I used to say it, why I don’t anymore, and why the whole expression might be holding us back.

I get candid about my own experiences:

This isn’t about being anti-marriage—I still want to get married! But I break down why this mindset can be damaging, how it often sets us up for disappointment, and what healthier approaches to dating might look like.
