Meredith Walker on how to unscript your life
Her advice-“The way that you ‘unscript’ your life is, first of all, understanding the difference between what other’s expectations are and what you really want.” Also, the importance of pursuing a growth mindset instead of staying frozen in a fixed mindset.
For Meredith Walker, Living “unscripted” is a maxim she has embraced herself. “It’s been an interesting and winding journey. I had a sense of the kind of person I wanted to be in the world. I had no idea how I would get there. I’m just so glad I made it.”
Growing up, most of us have a life path that is scripted or encouraged. However, how do you develop your true individual passion or cultivate your most satisfying purpose? It’s a question that journalist and producer Meredith Walker is helping others clarify through her storytelling on Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls platform and her soon-to-be-released web series Life Unscripted with Meredith Walker.
Her new interview series, Life Unscripted with Meredith Walker on Nelda TV builds upon the same premise of filling a gap in important content by telling the stories of interesting and dynamic women. Says Walker, “They’ve reached a place where they’re not letting society define who they are or what success means for them.”
Meredith Walker has deep roots in Texas, but her career and life passions have taken her all over the world. It’s an unscripted pathway that she wants to encourage other young women to consider. “If you think you’re allowed to try a lot of things, then you’ll try a lot of things. But if you feel like this is what’s acceptable, you’ll kind of stay there.”
Walker got her feet wet working with acclaimed journalist Linda Ellerbee and Nick News. Rising from intern to producer at warp speed, she traveled the U.S. interviewing children for the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series. When an opportunity to join Saturday Night Live presented itself, she jumped on it. Head of Talent for SNL was an exhilarating experience and also where she met actress, best friend, and long time collaborator Amy Poehler. Through their shared experiences, the pair recognized a gap in content for young girls.
