S2 Episode #10: Meredith McDaniel

Tia McNelly

The One with Meredith McDaniel

Meredith McDaniel is a licensed professional counselor and owner of her private practice Milk + Honey. A graduate of Gordon- Conwell Theological Seminary, she has also served on staff with Young Life and as the Lead Counselor with Inheritance of Hope. Meredith says she feels called to sit with and listen to the stories of women and men, helping them discover who they are and experience life more fully. She enjoys entering into the quieter places of people’s lives in a safe setting to offer hope and help others taste of the land of milk + honey. She and her husband, Ben, have three young children and live in a small town near Charlotte, North Carolina.

Her reason for writing In Want + Plenty is simple: “I’m flooded with story upon story of women, students, and families who have walked into my counseling office and feel like they have had enough and they are not enough. They want more from life but don’t know where to find it. They’ve tried everything, followed the formulas, yet most things are not panning out the way they planned, and they are left wanting more... We tend to walk around with a false script in the back of our minds, whispering lies that if we can just work hard enough, life will go the way we want and we will be happy. Yet it doesn’t take long for us to realize life doesn’t work that way. No matter how hard we try and no matter how much we attain, an ache remains. Life happens and we realize we are not in control.”

Meredith has found over her 15 years of practicing counseling that we need to look back in order to move ahead. She asks us to delve deeper into our own personal story through guided narrative journaling, honest consideration, and reflection on thoughtful questions posed throughout the chapters, and her own beautiful, encouraging writing.
