Meet Rebekah Meredith | Premium Ghostwriter, Storytelling Strategist & Aspiring Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rebekah Meredith and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rebekah, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
I think the most important thing I’ve done is redefine what it means to live a life with purpose.

A lot of us grow up thinking purpose is about following rules or routines—and while those have their place, they don’t show you how to live with purpose. My son sees me every day building a business from scratch, learning to keep promises to myself (which, let’s be real, I’m often the first to break), and pushing forward even when it’s hard.

I want him to grow up knowing that his voice matters. That self-care isn’t optional. That creativity is valuable. And above all else, that anything is possible—okay, maybe not turning into a dinosaur or a fire-breathing dragon (he’s four, so that’s high on his wishlist), but almost anything. And who knows? That wild imagination might just be the spark that leads to something incredible one day.

I’m not perfect. I’m not The Best Mom. But I try to lead by example. I show him there’s magic in the mess. That there’s more than one way to have fun, and more than one way to make an impact.

While I try to keep some separation between business and family life, the truth is—they’re deeply intertwined. Parenting and entrepreneurship both shape the legacy I’m creating. And watching my son live out the values he sees in me… that’s the real measure of success.

Whether it’s picking up trash on hiking trails or telling complete strangers they’re cool, he reminds me every day that purpose isn’t just something you chase—it’s something you model.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My brand is The Peculiar Writer, but my business name is Rebekah Meredith Creative. I chose the latter in the beginning because I just wanted to get started—I wasn’t clear on a direction yet, only that I wanted to build something. It wasn’t until later that I gave shape to The Peculiar Writer, which reflects my deeper philosophy:

1. Stories matter. And they can spark change.

2. The best way to attract the right people is to embrace your eccentricities.

So many brands copy each other with new logos, colors, or taglines—but surface-level tweaks aren’t what set you apart. Your beliefs, your philosophies, and your unshakeable values are where your brand lives. And that’s what I help my clients find.

I use my signature S.A.U.C.Y. Strategy (Stories, Audience, Understand, Connect, You) to help them write and market in a way that’s magnetic and authentic.

But this didn’t happen overnight. I started off as a copywriter and quickly realized the industry was full of conflicting extremes—bro marketing, mean-girl marketing, empathy market disguised as a scheme. I didn’t like it. So I decided to make my own, SAUCY approach. It wasn’t easy, but it works. I’ve seen my clients get the results and achieve the goals the set doing this.

I’m a homeschooling, stay-at-home mom, running a business in between snack time and other daily shenanigans. So I find that when one area of life wobbles, they all do—so I stopped chasing balance and started seeking harmony. Harmony gives you space to embrace chaos without crumbling.

There were many nights I wanted to give up. But each breakdown became a breakthrough (after some therapeutic crying and tea). But every tear gave me a deeper perspective. And now, when I help clients tell their stories, I know what it feels like to live them.

What I want the world to know is this:
You don’t need a perfect plan to get started. But you just need a story worth telling.
And I promise—you have one.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend came to visit for a week, we wouldn’t spend all our time in the city — because let’s be honest, the best parts of Colorado are just outside of it. I’d blend history, hiking, hidden gems, and a few nerdy indulgences for a week full of discovery and delight.

Day 1: History, Ghosts & Games
We’d kick things off in Manitou Springs — yes, it’s a bit of a tourist trap, but it’s walkable, charming, and has the best nostalgia kick with its old-school Penny Arcade. After some classic gaming, we’d grab coffee nearby and head down the road to the Colorado Rocky Mountain Brewery — a former train yard turned restaurant. The pizza there is unreal. We’d wrap the day by walking across the parking lot to the Ghost Town Museum — a gem packed with local history that most visitors overlook.

Day 2: Garden Views & Secret Trails
You can’t come to Colorado Springs and skip Garden of the Gods. We’d drive through for the photo ops, then head to nearby Red Rock Canyon Open Space or Palmer Park to hike and see the iconic red rocks from a different angle. What I love about these hikes is the hybrid experience — you’re surrounded by nature but still hear faint traces of the city. It’s grounding in the best way.

Day 3: Dinosaurs & Mountain Drives
We’d head up to Woodland Park for a dose of prehistoric wonder at their Dinosaur Resource Center. My family is dinosaur-obsessed, so this is always on the list. Then we’d take the scenic route past mountain rivers and forests, windows down, air crisp. Maybe we’d find a short trail or set up a picnic. There’s something meditative about letting nature be your soundtrack.

Day 4: Parks, Play, and Mental Breaks
This one’s for the mamas: we’d hit a local park + library combo. The kids run wild (safely), we breathe a little and maybe browse books. It’s simple. Especially as a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom, I’ve learned these little pockets of freedom and reset are sacred.

Day 5: Mini Golf & Godzilla
We’d go full goofy with Lost Island Adventure Golf — it’s dinosaur-themed, has a giant Godzilla, and honestly? It’s just fun. Then maybe hit up a vintage game shop or two (I love finding local spots), followed by tacos or something gluten-free-friendly (I love the Chinese restaurant Wok In, Wok out). Bonus points if we spot a bookstore along the way.

Day 6: City Lights & Hidden Wonderland
We’d explore downtown Colorado Springs, soak in the shops, and enjoy how the city sparkles at night. Dinner at The Rabbit Hole is a must — it’s a moody, underground Alice in Wonderland-themed restaurant that never disappoints.

BUT… if a concert’s happening, we’re mini-road-tripping to Red Rocks Amphitheater. Totally worth it.

Day 7: Wild Card
We’d close out with something random because while Colorado Springs has plenty to offer, this whole state is pure magic.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Absolutely. First, my mom—she’s how to be loud, bold, and unforgettable. Then there’s my grandmother, who showed me how to be a resilient business owner—resourceful, fearless, and committed no matter the odds.

I have deep gratitude for the circle of entrepreneurial women in my life. Some I’ve mentored, some have mentored me, and many are now close friends. We’ve held space for each other’s wild ideas, delivered tough love when needed, and reminded each other that building a business is a lot like raising a child—it takes a village.

And most of all, my husband. He’s been my biggest supporter, my rock, and also the toughest love giver in my life. He gives it to me straight, always from a place of love and belief in my potential. Without his encouragement and support, I wouldn’t be here doing what I do.
