Meerbott lives in Narberth, PA, with her husband, Brian, a U.S. Navy veteran turned math teacher, and their beloved pets: dogs Tallulah “Tully” Rose, Tessie Lynn, L’Oreal “Lori,” and former stray cat Pablo Escobar. She is manifesting a 40-acre leadership retreat in Gladwyne, PA -- a sanctuary for those ready to scale their business without abandoning their soul.
